Proof Boyo had a deprived childhood, he doesn't know what a Banksia man is!

I was deprived too, looked it up and they look like they would be terrifying for little kids!

Probably a nice protected childhood. The Evil Banksia Men were properly scary! At least at the panto thing I was taken to at a very young age.
