Planet of the Humans: Simian group hug

I thought I'd give myself a break from writing long posts. Yes, a break for you (10?) dear readers. Photos of toy simians - still life. A blurb and a mouseover ALT text here and there. Nothing more, nothing less. Uh-huh.

Below, more variations of simian group hugs and one solitary mini monkey sitting on a backup hard drive. The hard drive contains a goldmine of illegal software, movies, porn, music, e-books, food recipes, plans for total world domination and confidential corporate trade secrets on how to make the best coffee - always fresh. Yes, I AM kidding. :lol: About the food recipes.

Hover your mouse cursor over any image to read its description. To cycle through all thumbnails, click on the first thumbnail to view full-size image. Manic monkeys!!!

It's a mad house! A mad house! Take your stinking hands off me, you damned dirty human! I'm a seeker too. But my dreams aren't like yours. I can't help thinking that somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man. Has to be.

A barrel of monkeys, Always Fresh, Toujours Frais

Lastly, a barrel of monkeys stuffed inside a Tim Hortons "The Big Tim" 59 oz coffee pot. The container was designed as a coffee carrier and NOT a beverage bottle. Sadly, I probably do drink that much coffee in a day. I got the pot and the CASE excavator toy from 2 past client projects. Yeah, you break your back and all you get is a lousy pot (with no coffee to boot) and a silly metal toy as rewards. I used to have a mini-sized version of the multi-coloured simian on the top-left (yellow, purple with orange face) but I gave it away to a cute little boy named Ryan because he pointed at it and said, "Monkey!" I didn't have the heart to tell him that it wasn't a monkey but an orangutan. Also, that mini one was given to me by a crazy person whom I wrote about here and wanted to forget at the time I gave the toy away. I replaced it with a bigger one 2 years ago.

Oh, the meaning of the haiku? Well, in Japanese haiku poetry:

winter = "sorrow, death, loss, fear, discontent, pain"
monkey = "man or soul of man"
raincoat = "something with which you protect yourself"

Question: What's your raincoat?

Oops, :shock: word count - still too many words. I lied. Yawn. End here. :twisted:

Adieu,

    Reading your blog is like following cryptic clues on Lost or the Island of Dr. Moreau, trying to figure out WHAT it all REALLY means. It's interesting how you're writing for 2 audiences in 1 post - :lol: the other side completely oblivious to the other 'layer', only seeing the superficial surface because they don't know you.

    Oh my goodness, so many monkeys! I've always loved Haiku but I've never tried to write it. I love Barrel of Monkeys! I used to play it all the time when I was a kid.
