Monkey Biz
I'm not going to take credit for finding this one, HowdyHell found it but since he won't start a blog, I'll serve as his vessel (ick, something sounds gross about that).
[from HowdyHell's email to me & others]
OK, I subscribe to the premise that all monkey stories are inherently funny. But this one is better than most.
Suburban pet monkey "attacks" neighbors.
But it's the video that keeps me coming back.
Story at: http://www.kfvs12.com/Global/story.asp?S=5001680 (There's a link to the vid.)
But before we go there, let's take stock of the elements that place this one in the pantheon of off-kilter hilarity:
1) Monkey diaper
2) Monkey darting to the end of his leash
3) Monkey chewing on lapel microphone
4) Weird old anchorman apparently dragged back from voiceover work
5) First known use of the word "feroshudly"
6) Money quote: "She just ... she cannot control her monkey"
7) Child’s ripped shirt waved in evidence
8) "It just attack-ud me" -- TWICE
9) "The monkey's INpredictable"
10) Woman gives her son's FULL NAME (J.D. Beardon), like he's a stranger
11) Weird, long, giveaway pauses when people are asked if the monkey is "dangerous"
12) People dressed worse than the monkey
13) Lead-in that establishes, for some reason, that the monkey was purchased in Kansas City
HowdyHell sent out a follow-up email saying that he totally forgot to mention the real thing that made this story hilarious - it was the LEAD story on the news.
