bon, me too. In fact, I forgot again until you just reminded me.

Actually, the big shocker to me recently was a thing that mentioned Daniel Schorr's age. Now, logically, given what I know he's covered, it shouldn't be too startling. But dude! He's 90!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love the hooker monkeys.

I'm not one of the b.org monkey people, but with the aid of Wonderfalls I'm spreading monkey love at krav.

I get a frisson of pleasure when someone switches the subject by saying "And monkey monkey monkey. Not enough monkey love." And then does the little bookend hand gesture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

also, has this been posted?

I posted it months ago, but you've just reminded me that I was going to send it to the Ricky Gervais Show podcast, so thanks! (They have a segment called Monkey News.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

To quote one of the directors of Toy Story 2 (from the commentary), "Everything's better with monkeys."

You would be proud, msbelle.

And I'll definitely be spreading the monkey.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And I'll definitely be spreading the monkey.

Ew.

Nuh-uh. Vacuum cleaners.

I think that I've mentioned here before the experiment one of my colleagues did: she had people raise baby starlings in their homes, and waited to see what kind of "song" the starlings learned in the absence of other starlings. Some learned human speech, in the exact voice of one of the family members, e.g. "Good morning you stupid bird!" Others learned to sing the sound of the phone ringing or the microwave timer going off. But one bird "sang" the sound of the vacuum cleaner. The family swore that the bird would torment the cats by making this noise as they walked past.

That's hilarious.

Is the PR finale during fashion week or after?

Last year, it was after. Which is why they showed 4 collections (instead of just the three finalists). They wanted to avoid spoiling.
