Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My kingdom for a nap! I am the anti-ita, all hopped down on protein and carbs. I'm about two grains of consciousness away from doing a faceplant into the keyboard for only the second time since I started this job 13 years ago.

Baboons are primates, but they are not monkeys.

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

Too much crappy chocolate, green tea, and a Coke.

Before that, I was you, JZ.

eta: thanks, Suela. I will file them with the chimpanzees.

Your filing is so much more fun than mine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My day at home has been pretty useless. I have uploaded music to my iTunes and have watched stuff off my DVR, that's it.

If only you knew the extent of the primate shenanigans, JZ. If only.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Vague memory says that 'prehensile tail' is one of the prime monkey attributes, so baboons get to occupy the less-heralded "lesser ape" category.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

IIRC, only the new-world monkeys have prehensile tails.

Baboons have canidlike faces. Totally an upgrade. Shame about the naked bottoms, though.

Msbelle, would you like to come over and clear up my TiVo? Much Miami Vice and British mystery.

amych is right about the prehensile tails, which is one of the reasons why primatologists should not watch The Jungle Book.
