Anyone Into Monkeys?

[Jesse James]

Anyone else into them?

I got some fine monkey items for Christmas actually.  Among
them includes:

-Monkey Bobblehead from Aeropostale
-Painting of Curious George (who is painting)
-Monkey Boxers

And I gave my significant other a nice monkey as her opening Christmas Gift to start off the evening.

What say you...  Monkey fan or not?

[Jesse James]

Another favorite shot of mine.  I think the suit makes the monkey btw.

Smoking Monkeys simply rock.

I believe GH has some type of fixation on them...   

Akin to the old days with our beloved llamas, anyway.

Personally, no.  Monkeys don't do much for me, though their antics and playing dress up for TV are often quite amusing.  As well as watching them screw at the zoo, which I unfortunately haven't been priveleged to observe in many years now...

Man, I need to go to bed.

Anything that throws its own **** and doesn't seem bothered by it is cool in my book.

[Jesse James]

Thanks HMI, I like you too...

Wait, you meant the monkeys.  I apologize profusely then.

I believe GH has some type of fixation on them...   

Bah, they may enjoy monkeys, but I originated the fascination with our lesser cousins.
I have lead the way in monkey fandom for decades, even though I'm only 27.  I still
did it in spirit when I was merely a gleam in my father's eye.

To that end, we need them not as mascots, but only to acknowledge they are full of fuzzy
greatness that we all may enjoy no matter our age.

Oh and GH calls them monkeTs, which really is a whole other
"thing" with them.

i am quite fond of the attractive female homo sapien monkey, does that count?

I still wanna see a pic of your Curious George painting!

[Morgbug]

They're ok, I was a big fan of curious George growing up.  But not so much now, though I bear them no ill will. 

I did meet a local Star Wars collector because of Monkeys though.  I was selling off my McFarlane collector club Monkeys (from the Twisted Oz series) and he was ecstatic to find them locally.  Big, big fan of all things monkey.

The Monkees were good in there time!

I like monkeys....

This is but take away the bucket he's on and stuff.  He's just painting.

I don't know if it's a painting or what...  It's 1 in a series of 4, and she
won't tell me where the other 3 are so she can have something to get me
for gifts because she says I'm hard to buy for.

I suppose when almost all you want is stuff only YOU know you can find
and when you usually do find it yourself quickly, then yeah you're hard to
buy for.

BTW on the site I found that image at this is a really nice CG shot.

Very sensitive primate he is.  He likes bunnies.

Anyone into monkeys?

I got one of these for X-Mas:



Fabulous, isn't it?  Mine comes complete with fez hat and red vest as well, and hopefully soon a small stocking cap and sneaky pierre hat as well.  Home made too, with lots of love and care.

I also got a great Curious George plush:



It's similar to this, but about 1/4 the size.

A fantastic holiday season for the primates I must say...  Anyone else get any monkey stuff?  I had one of my smoking monkeys puffing away the other night.  Man I can't get enough of those.

[Nirvana]

My sister had one of those sock monkeys...it was pretty funny.

When I first read about this on the Christmas Hauls thread I thought "he's gotta post pics".  Please, oh please, I must see the monkey in the fez

I have always liked that mischievous little fellow.    Hoping the film will do him justice.

I've always liked monkeys. In fact, when I was younger I wanted to be a zoologist and focus on primates. When I get older, I plan on having a caupuchin monkey as a pet.
