We've seen the hints, the suggestions, the thinly-veiled threats. Lately, even once-sweet Koko has revealed her dark side. All along I've tried to communicate the threat primates pose to homo sapiens.

You laughed. "Oh, don't be silly Jocko, mankind will never be unseated by our humorous, whimsical ape cousins," you said.

Well, don't come crying to me when you wake up tomorrow and find the Statue of Libery is 90% buried on the beach. The monkeys are rising.

Damn dirty apes.

Good news at last! I welcome the upcoming world of free love, free bananas, and sitting around in trees all day, napping or crapping as the mood suits ya.

Collaborator. I knew I could never trust you. Something about the shape of your brow just reeks of betrayal. Enjoy your little victory, simian, because the time has come to spank the monkey.

Don't worry, the planet of the apes scenario will never happen.

Because we will have eaten all of them by then (bush meat).

Bruce · 3rd March 2005, 02:17 PM

Dammit! Dammit all. Not again. The last time that happened in Missouri, John Ashcroft became Attourney General. We need to keep a closer eye on our primates.

And still people fail to see the simian menace lurking at their very doorsteps!

Ashcroft is not an ape. He just looks like one. That kind of diversion is just like a damned primate, isn't it? The pri-lateral commision's main tactics are misdirection and misinformation. That's why most monkeys you see are balancing on poodles or helping Gene Wilder run hotels in the early 70's.

You'll never see 'em coming.

Some predicted answers:

shanek - See what happens when you take away chimp property rights? The Constitution doesn't give the government the power to shoot apes!
The Fool - How does it feel to have your simian racism come around and bite you on the ass?
Ion - Go! Shoot the monkeys! Does it make you feel good? Stupid! Monkey killer!
BPSCG - See? I told you it was pointless to try to reason with chimps.

(I know I got the last one right...)

That's the right tone, but you missed a couple mandatories. I picture something like this:

Quote:

Will eventually be posted by Ion:

Monkeys murder innocents under criminal Bush. This is because criminal Bush allowed a monkey recession with millions of monkey jobs gone.

Send your mother to the Bronx Zoo and see how she likes the evil criminal Bush orangutan creature with burning monkey eyes and forked prehensile tail.

You voted for criminal neocon apes, how does your mother like that in the Bronx Zoo.

And I know there are no criminal monkeys in Romania.

Edited to include more fractured grammar.

Yeah, but it's always good for a laugh. Besides, you'd better get on Ion's good side, when the monkey revolution happens he may be the only one they accept as one of their own.

Of course, Koko has better grammar than he does, and that's just with sign language.

Dunno if they'll accept him. Isn't there some intelligence threshhold? I'm not sure Ion could pass. Koko is certainly more articulate:

Ion: What's the alternative?
Look at crim's antics?
Like having voted for criminal Bush, and bringing up a U.N. sex scandal that is overshadowed by U.S. rapes in Iraq?
No thanks.
It's better to look at me.
While me I look at Dean in politics (and others, in different fields).

Koko: Show me your breasts!

Now, I ask, which one makes more sense to you?

Of course, what this really shows is merely that chimp and humans have similar expressions; you could do the same thing with any person, if you had enough photographs of them--and Bush is probably the most often photograph man in the world.

But I have to admit, I laughed out loud..."I couldn't find a photograph of a chimp doing something as stupid"... LMAO!

Problem solved (no chimp photo as stupid as bush photo).

True enough. Among our wedding pictures is a candid shot at the reception of Mrs. BPSCG, her mother, and me. My brand new mother-in-law is looking up adoringly at me (and rightly so...), while my brand-new Mrs. BPSCG and I appear to be competing in the "Who Can Make The Ugliest Mouth?" contest.

After a recount, it was determined that I'd won, but I think someone hacked the ballot boxes.

In any case, most of the chimps above look more suave and debonair than I did.

I have two friends that are Liberitarians. I invited them over for a party one weekend and they turned me down because there was a Liberitarian convention that weekend.

"So what do you guys talk about at your conventions? About how badly you are going to lose again?"

"Our goal isn't so much about winning the election, but about getting more of the minority percentage than the last election. I believe our current record is 5% in (Arizona?). We're hoping that the majority Democratic stance of "Anybody but Bush" will win us a new record with the undecideds"

I never did ask if they attained their goal.

You know, all jokes aside... I keep wondering: how many of the guys wearing a "Bush look likes a chimp" tee-shirt wear it as a humorous way to show their opposition to Bush, which is one thing... and how many REALLY THINK that they have found some sort of "amazing proof" that he is actually a chimp, which is another thing entirely?

But I have to admit, I laughed out loud..."I couldn't find a photograph of a chimp doing something as stupid"... LMAO!

True enough. Among our wedding pictures is a candid shot at the reception of Mrs. BPSCG, her mother, and me. My brand new mother-in-law is looking up adoringly at me (and rightly so...), while my brand-new Mrs. BPSCG and I appear to be competing in the "Who Can Make The Ugliest Mouth?" contest. After a recount, it was determined that I'd won, but I think someone hacked the ballot boxes. In any case, most of the chimps above look more suave and debonair than I did.

Turn up the sound on your PC and click on one of the pics under "And Watch The Whole Office Go Bananas." At our Super Bowl party, we unanimously agreed the last one on the right was the day's winner (but save it for last).

I have two friends that are Liberitarians. I invited them over for a party one weekend and they turned me down because there was a Liberitarian convention that weekend. "So what do you guys talk about at your conventions? About how badly you are going to lose again?" "Our goal isn't so much about winning the election, but about getting more of the minority percentage than the last election. I believe our current record is 5% in (Arizona?). We're hoping that the majority Democratic stance of "Anybody but Bush" will win us a new record with the undecideds" I never did ask if they attained their goal.
