I was told this would be banana-scented.

The Monkey Spa service has really gone downhill.  [eye roll]

There ya go!

3 Wombats 07.04.08 at 9:27 pm

This never happens to me! I just checked my sink and all I found was a kettle containing petrified linguine.

4 Katfighter 07.04.08 at 9:28 pm

Methinks this belongs in “Cute or Sad?” That is one pitifully sad and cute face on that wee little monkee.

5 chanpon 07.04.08 at 9:54 pm

I think that kid’s been soaking in the bath too long. He looks a little weird and wrinkly.

6 Jorden 07.04.08 at 10:02 pm

Well I am flat out in LOVE with that little feller!

7 LMNOP 07.04.08 at 10:17 pm

You know what makes it even more cool? This lil’ guy is a personal assistant! He’s using his well-earned time off at the spa.

13 Not That Mike The Other Mike 07.05.08 at 12:15 am

@Theresa: LOL

14 Flavia 07.05.08 at 12:38 am

Lol. Love the expressions :P

15 A 07.05.08 at 12:49 am

not funny boring really

16 noonie 07.05.08 at 12:52 am

The bottom pic looks like Maddox, son of Angelina Jolie.
Cute kid, cute monkey.

17 Theresa 07.05.08 at 1:11 am

OMG, I made NTMTOM LOL!!!
(thud)

Singes sans frontières,
Baths without tears.

Especially with our new, extra-mild baby-money shampoo formula.

18 Theresa 07.05.08 at 1:12 am

Arrgh, that’s baby-MONKEY.

19 snoopysnake 07.05.08 at 1:49 am

How GWB spent the Fourth.

20 Rice 07.05.08 at 2:30 am

Oh man, I would be in heaven if someone put me in a bath. Setting it up can be such a pain in the arse after two glasses of wine.

21 Heather 07.05.08 at 2:39 am

Comcast is really sucking lately. TWO days it took to download 1 episode of Battlestar. WTF? And then I try to post comments, only to get a fail screen. Comcast sucks!

22 misscrisp 07.05.08 at 2:55 am

I dunno T, I sorta liked the sound of baby-money shampoo…all innocent yet rich…

23 berthaservant 07.05.08 at 4:06 am

Oh, can we post irrelevant and unreasonable complaints? I’m sick of the Yankees losing!

Major LOL Theresa…I was going to try to make a Solsbury Hill reference, but my Gabriel chops are failing me.

24 Uberpierced 07.05.08 at 5:48 am

There is a soap that LUSH discontinued (and now may be bringing back for their LUSH RETRO event and it may stay!) which smells very distinctly of ripe bananas called Banana Moon. That would make the little guy’s day :)

25 Subhangi 07.05.08 at 8:04 am

Priceless!!! LOL!

26 Tobysmom1111 07.05.08 at 9:41 am

That moinkey is saying “G’dak! I gots icky suds on my leeps!” My dog Toby makes the same face if he leecks anything carbonated. He says “G’dak!” and then his tongue comes out about about a foot! Then the ***shudder***!!! Sweet lil’ moinkey! All babies learn to keep their leeps closed in the bath eventually!

27 rabble 07.05.08 at 11:13 am

i had always thought if my disabilities worsened enough i would get an assistant dog. ferget that though, i’m getting me a monkey! in fact, maybe i should get one now, just in case :P

28 Theresa 07.05.08 at 12:14 pm

@Berthaservant, maybe something along the lines of
“In my little kitchenette,
I had gone to get a drink,
With no thought of etiquette,
Monkey popped out of the sink
He was something to observe,
Beady eyes and cowlicks wet,
Like a simian hors-d’oevre,
Something I’ll not soon forget.”

29 Theresa 07.05.08 at 12:18 pm
30 Lushie 07.05.08 at 12:53 pm

Uberpierced, Banana Moon is back! Out of stock right now though. I’m trying to stay strong and not spend $400.

31 260Oakley 07.05.08 at 1:36 pm

Tiny monkette can’t get no satisfaction in the second pic, so he’s doing his best Mick Jagger imitation. Need I mention that the monkey is a beeellion times cuter that Mick?

32 Cheryl 07.05.08 at 1:58 pm

I am not a monkey person, but this one is adorable!!

33 marie_n 07.05.08 at 2:49 pm

bueller?

bueller?

bueller?

34 Lillith 07.05.08 at 2:56 pm

Peter Gabriel eh?

Bath Time
I’m on my way I’m soaking in it
Bath Time
They’re gonna make me glow yeah!

35 Pooteymom 07.05.08 at 4:32 pm

Wouldn’t it be distinctly not distinctively?

36 bookmonstercats 07.05.08 at 5:28 pm

Theresa, you are clevair.

Rabbai, sorry to hear life handed you a less than perfect deal. I’d say something like “hang on in there” but knowing my luck…

Anyway, lots of love and maybe monkeys.

37 berthaservant 07.05.08 at 6:21 pm

Mega-wow Theresa. Nicely done!!!!

38 marie_n 07.05.08 at 7:02 pm

noone has mentioned marcel from friends yet.

39 Theresa 07.05.08 at 7:39 pm

@Marie_N, OR the Angels Rally Monkey?

@Berthaservant, if I made you and NTMTOM LOL, my life is truly complete! I can just slack off now and drink.

I suspect that this little one IS the Rally Monkey. ;)

40 Theresa 07.05.08 at 7:41 pm

PS, Where is Theo anyway? I didn’t get a Harrumph out of him!

41 marie_n 07.05.08 at 8:28 pm

theresa: noone even tittered at my ferris bueller mention either – the shower mohawk scene.

donkey shins, darlin’ donkey shins.

42 Theresa 07.05.08 at 10:39 pm

@Marie_N, how about a snort? I’m good at snorts.

(snort!)

43 Kris 07.05.08 at 11:23 pm

This leetle guy is SO cute! If I can’t have a lion cub, can I have him???

44 gravyboat 07.05.08 at 11:28 pm

That little guy is really really enjoying his bath!

45 Hon Glad 07.05.08 at 11:53 pm

Probably more like washing up liqid.

46 Too Late 07.06.08 at 4:12 am

Oooooooh!!! I wanna hafa monkeh!!!

47 marie_n 07.06.08 at 6:05 pm

i snorted so badly on the 4th while we were grilling out because i was retelling a story about my boyfriend misunderstanding something that i said and then repeating it thinking it was the new “it” phrase. our beagle was licking her special place and i said “abbie, don’t lick your no-no” and the next day my boyfriend said “abbie, don’t lick your knuckle” and i nearly died. he won’t hear the end of that one anytime soon.

48 BeanSidhe 07.06.08 at 10:45 pm

One of my students makes that face (second picture) when she’s displeased. She’s three, so of course it’s extra cute-monkey-ish.

49 Julia Spilker 07.07.08 at 9:01 pm

and speaking of misunderstanding… OK, I’m a BIT slow, I used to be a blonde… when snoopysnake said “how GWB spent the 4th”, I’m thinking, huh? What’s GWB??
Gorillas Without Borders??

50 Kim 07.07.08 at 9:08 pm

Well, that’s it, Cute Overload, you have KILLED me with adorableness. May I have a pet monkey now, please?
