Nice Monkey

[Cacatch]

I'm with skyarrow, draw the guage and watch 'em fly!

   I have heard monkey meat is as good as it gets, I am a little funny about eating primates but I wouldn't mind trying one. Steve

Time for a monkey skin quiver build-along.

my ex wife looked like a monkey.

I hear you Badger, I'd be a little leary of it, I think I'd be more concerned about disease or something.  Not sure how true it is though, with as many indigenous people eating them.
I once went on a fishing trip in Maine, and they had a bearded monkey head preserved under glass.  My buddy and I thought that was the coolest thing in the lodge.

My father in law says the only thing is it's a bit disconcerting when you get to the arms and the way the little hands look a bit to similar to ours. Meats good though they eat it on the Amazon and tributaries all the time just like any other meat you get in the jungles you probably wouldn't know the difference if they took the bones out.They hang out in troupes in the small towns farther down into the jungles and especially at the end of the line. They would steal stuff from tourists and then use whatever they stole as trade in order to get you to give them food. You had to be quick when you swapped with them though or they would try and hold onto it and get more food. I remember feeling sorry for the dogs in those towns, because the monkeys were a lot stronger, smarter and meaner.

It's funny how people are picky over animals.  If I ever saw a monkey messin with my dog, I wouldn't care less whether the monkey had thumbs.  Dead monkey.  Lotsa people don't value dogs though, so hey, to each their own, I suppose.

Monkey florentine, monkey nuggets, Monkey au grotin, monkey meatloaf, monkey marinara, monkey 'n eggs, monkey caciatore, Sloppy Joe the Monkey, cold monkey sandwiches with a little coleman's mustard, and last but not least, monkey blood soup.

I think it was more of a case of stray dogs and wild monkeys, it didn't look like the dogs were being very well cared for. Even the ones that people own in South America aren't really pets they are more working class animals. That's not to say they don't take care of the ones they own they just aren't "family" pets.

Two critters give me the creeps....Spiders and Monkeys.

In Vietnam we had what we called "rock apes". They would approach the wire at night and throw rocks over the wire at us. It was troublesome but sometimes the rocks would be grenades thrown by main force VC. You didn't know what was what. One night I'd had enough and got a 3.5 WP rocket launcher and shot one of those apes and started a fire that burned for two days. The back blast almost got the Lt.  No monkey meat left to eat.

[Parnell]

Alright, Grunt you win the funny competition.  I imagine the situation wasn't funny at the time, but shoot, that made my laugh like crazy!  Like you didn't have enough crap to deal with, you've got monkeys throwing rocks at you!!!

Those look like baboons to me. I had a big one wrap its arm around my leg when I was a kid in Africa. I thought it was cool but my little sister screemed and it ran away. To this day she says she saved my life I think it was just being friendly
