Monkeys!

Monkeys!
Made me laugh, even if I'm not entirely convinced by some of the points. Or the jokes.

I actually really like that article. It contains a heck of a lot of reality check for people who actually believe the human race is in some way better than the animals it evolved from (as opposed to merely stunningly arrogant by comparison), and it explains a disturbing amount about human nature.

Yes; it makes a lot of very good points :) I felt my hackles rising at times, and then realised I was doing exactly what he was predicting I'd do.

I'm not quite sure whether it means I'm a realist or a total cynic that actually I read the whole thing going "Jesus, finally somebody's put this into words!" ;-)

We're both clearly more advanced than the average person.

Or somthing like that ;)

But who cares, when it's Monkeys!

Jeje, we're the monkeys!

*shakes head, sadly*

It's so true...

pan versus homo

Reminds me about the fact they are thinking of changing chimps from pan to homo.

Hurrah! That makes me happy :)

Number of pictures accompanying text: 10.

Well, yes. But it's still a good article, and the pictures are good - even if they are of apes.

You'll walk the streets in a daze, like Roddy Piper after putting on his X-ray sunglasses in They Live.

I am staggered. I thought I was the only person ever to have seen that film!

I stopped taking anything in after "Jeje, we're the monkeys!".

I like to think of myself as a media-sponge, absorbing the crusty audio-visual detritus from the wind-screen of life.

You like sucking up squashed bugs?

[identity profile] dr-wez.livejournal.com 2006-01-26 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I really just pick them up and deposit them elsewhere.

You are not the only person to have seen that movie.

It is, however, a difficult movie to describe to those who have not seen it.

I disagree.

"Hard-hitting bum obtains sunglasses which reveal a hitherto-unseen alien menace, leading him to invade TV studio with like-minded compadre."

See? Easy. :)

I don't like monkeys.

Apparently boobs make different noises - one goes honk and the other goes parp. This is for the purposes of playing tunes.

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-01-25 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? They're all monkeyish and stuff!

I'm pretty sure both my boobs make the same noise. Perhaps it's like a piano keyboard if you line enough people up? Then yours would be just either side of Middle C, and on different staves?

We need to find a pianist to test this.

I think they are too similar to people I meet in london.

What's that instrument with lots of horns in a row? Harry Hill has one. If all boobs are slightly different* and everyone's boobs are individual it makes sense that they all make different noises.

*mine are pretty symetrical so I'm not sure why people go about saying that...

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-01-26 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok, so yours are only a semitone apart :)

Oooh, or the Mouse Organ from Monty Python! With slightly less violent banging, though.

[identity profile] pink-weasel.livejournal.com 2006-01-26 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Boobs hit with a mallet tend to make for a lot of swearing and cursing I would imagine. Though that could be music.

I wonder if little ones go pip pip?

I don't like monkeys.

Isn't that an Elvis Costello track?

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-01-26 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Bob Geldof did it better.

I want a monkey in a pirate suit. Surely if that man has loads of monkeys he won't notice if I monkey-nap Slappy.

I think I may have missed the point of this article.
