Meet Monkey Wonderful

Img_0050_2

This is Monkey Wonderful.  The Lady said, "this monkey is wonderful!" when she first laid eyes on him. 

We're not sure how Monkey Wonderful feels about his name; he looks noncomittal here.

Thanks for stopping in!

How it All Started

Img_0052

This is Happy!  He's the first sock monkey The Lady brought home from the Last Chance thrift store!  Yay!

If you think about it, if it weren't for Happy, there wouldn't be a Monkey Town.

Three cheers for Happy!  Hazzah!  Hazzah!  Hazzah!  Hazzah!  Oops, that's four.

p.s.  Burt, regarding that "gene pool" comment... I don't like to swim.  I'm more of a wash cloth kind of guy.

Year of the Monkey!

Img_0067

This is Victor.  He reminded me today that 2004 is a Year of the Monkey!  And it's a leap year, too. 

Did you know when a leap year and a Year of the Monkey happen at the same time, it's called a Year of the Sock Monkey? 

It's true, it's true!

Wise Monkey Quotations

Img_0048

This is Wise Monkey and he's the keeper of the Wise Monkey Quotations:

"Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room."  --Winston Churchill

Words to chew on!  Thanks Wise Monkey!

p.s.  Doug asked Egg Man if he knew what happened to the Walrus.  Egg Man says after leaving Atlanta, the Walrus worked as a consultant in Eastern Europe and Baghdad before landing a government job in DC with a bunch of cranky people.

Happy Thanksgiving

Img_0047_1

We're all excited about tonight's Monkey Town Thanksgiving Dinner!  Everyone has to dress up as their favorite part of the holiday.  Some will come as indians, some as pilgrims, some as they're favorite food!

Wise Monkey says a serving of turkey should be no bigger than a deck of cards.  This confuses Baby with a Big Head.  He doesn't know if he should dress up as a turkey or the King of Spades.

Everyone in Monkey Town is thankful to be here.  And we're glad you're here, too.

That's a nice one, Mr. Grin!

What She Does

Img_0097Here's the C-A-T doing what she does best in Monkey Town.  Listen real hard and you can hear her stripey Beast snore.

Gettin' Ready for Santa

Img_0047_2Now that Thanksgiving is over, everyone in Monkey Town is making their lists for Santa!  Why so early?  Nobody wants to be caught with their socks down and risk asking for something lame.

Last year Baby with a Big Head panicked and asked Santa for homework!

Another Wise Monkey Quotation

"Whenever you got business trouble the best thing to do is to get a lawyer.  Then you got more trouble, but at least you got a lawyer."  -- Chico Marx in At the Circus

Thanks Wise Monkey!

Meet Mr. Grouse!

Img_0042_3Here is one of the few allowed to frown here in Monkey Town.  Mr. Grouse likes to do good deeds when no one's looking.  But don't tell anyone I told you.  He doesn't want to blow his grumpy cover.
