They're like a cross between having a cat and a baby. WTF?!

I have a neighbor on my street who has one and whenever he takes it out for a walk, you'd think the Pope was in town the way people swarm around him and that poor monkey.

Would you own a capuchin monkey? I'd like one, but I'm not sure if changing diapers is better than cleaning a cat box.





oh, and HI POOK

It's just sooooo cute!



I didn't know it was legal to own one, though.

No I do not want one. I love animals but that thing sort of scares me


I guess it is the hands and feet that freak me out.

i always want to stop my neighbor when i see him walking the monkey and say if he ever needs a monkeysitter i'd be happy to give it a try. it really does look like a very sweet pet. i'd just be afraid of any sudden monkey rages. i wouldn't know how to deal with that.

awwww what a cutie

I would be afraid he would claw me with those hands/feet.
OMG I figured it out- he has ears like Bush- that is why I fear that creature.

Anxiety said:

just watch out for this expression

this ain't right

You just wanna spank the monkey, don't you?

Any animal that can throw shit isn't going to be a pet in my house.

It's fucking WRONG to keep monkeys as pets. WTF with putting clothes and shit on them and keeping them from living as nature-like life as possible... cappuchin monkeys live in family groups in the wild, they NEED other monkeys to be around.
I hate this.

It only proves that Anxiety's veggan lifestyle is a ruse to cover up his Monkey trade business.





I also dislike circuses with animals, SEA FUCKING WORLD (even though I've been ) , and "Experimental" whaling. WTF?

it's true. when people call me a "monkey smuggler" they don't know how right they are, not only metaphorically, but literally! and I THINK IT'S FUN AND I AM PROUD OF IT!!!

no, seriously, the next time i see my neighbor with his monkey i'm going to throw gasoline in his eyes and retrieve his poor monkey, rip its little dress off and send it back to the wilds of lincoln park to join its family who must be missing it terribly.

Imago said:

Yeah, I'm right with you. I don't like zoos either unless there's a valid conservation programme in place and enough room for the animals. The Stockholm Zoo, Skansen, used to have polar bears and elephants when I was a kid and my parents insisted we'd go every summer I was in a foul mood every time spouting abuse to the staff etc.

Anxiety said:

Your replies would be better received here: http://www.prince.org/msg/100/233278

But we do have a monkey who posts on the org.

Is he happy?

Fuck me cloudy.

Imago said:

when i started a thread about monkeys, this wasn't exactly what i had in mind.

Imago said:

But your sheets are clean.

Anxiety said:

You'd watch anyway.

Cloudbuster said:

yeah, but i'd watch drawing restraint 9 and gummo.

Anxiety said:

ok

I am being totally serious here an not trying to make a joke of it, but I have no clue what this means or why it's funny. Trust me, I *KNOW* it's funny. I'm just ignorant about what it means. Is it a gay thing? or a reference to pop culture I just don't know about?

Imago said:

it's really not a funny enough response for me to explain, especially because i feel like my explanation would have to rival the length of your query, and quite frankly, it totally DOES NOT merit that much of an expenditure of thought or elucidation. is 'elucidation' the right word here? i don't know, i've never used that word before. i just thought it would be impressive or something. what i mean to say is don't worry none is all i'm saying. don't go all into a wikipedia rage over it. seriously, it was just a joke belittling your sexuality by way of referencing grotesque films. which i guess was the explanation you were after. whatever. happy fourth of july.

Anxiety said:

It's absurd.

Anxiety said:

Wow. That post ruined my headache-free night.
