3 Karen 07.07.08 at 10:41 am

Argh! No mouse-over caption?? Those are the best part!

4 ButtaRumCake 07.07.08 at 12:13 pm

@Karen – I was thinking the same thing.

*runs to get Meg some coffee* Cream & sugar, Meg?

5 Gillie 07.07.08 at 12:18 pm

So. I had to look at this twice to realize that there were two marmosets and not one crazy flexible marmoset.

6 Theresa 07.07.08 at 12:28 pm

Wha— *Scratch* the monkeh?!!

7 Theresa 07.07.08 at 12:30 pm

So OK, that could either be *another* Peter Gabriel (“Scratch the Monkeh”) or K.C. and the Sunshine Band:
“Scratch Scratch Scratch,
Scratch Scratch Scratch,
Scratch your Monkeh,
Scratch your Monkeh!”

8 Redbone 07.07.08 at 12:54 pm

“Touch muh munkeh.”
*scritch scritch*
“Touch muh munkeh aguin.”
*scritch*
“Keep et it.”
*scritch scritch scritch scritch scritch… *
“Ahhhh…” *toes wiggle*

Oh yeah, oh yah…right there…keep scratching…ahhhh…you hit the spot

10 jabbo 07.07.08 at 1:12 pm

Sleep, eat, scratch.

Repeat.

Happiness is having a friend eat your tics.

12 Theresa 07.07.08 at 1:57 pm

(snort!)

13 Rachel Sweeden 07.07.08 at 2:05 pm

That is so cute.

14 zeldapie 07.07.08 at 2:17 pm

15 compy-saur 07.07.08 at 2:59 pm

A little to the left. More. Now move down. Yes, you got it. Now, scratch!

16 chanpon 07.07.08 at 3:29 pm

Oh noes, marmoset porn!

17 marie_n 07.07.08 at 3:33 pm

i love how marmosets have tremendous cow-licks.

18 caitlin 07.07.08 at 3:37 pm

I’m not normally a monkeh person, but this is so sweet & silly. I can’t stop giggling. :D

19 andi 07.07.08 at 4:35 pm

I LOVE LOVE LOVE pygmy marmosets…one of these days I’m going to break them out of our world acquarium!

20 budd 07.07.08 at 4:39 pm

I got a mouse-over caption:
“Play me like a harpshichord, O Mozart!”
I am not sure if it was somehow added later.

21 budd 07.07.08 at 4:40 pm

Oops, that should have been “clavichord”.
I thought I should edit it in case someone finds clavichord much funnier than harpsichord…

22 Theo 07.07.08 at 4:41 pm

Cool! I thought of “harpsichord” first, actually. But “clavichord” is also a Salinger reference. ;)

23 Theo 07.07.08 at 4:42 pm

(and yes, I added it AFTER the post went live, because “Photo Sharing” was teh yawn)

24 berthaservant 07.07.08 at 5:45 pm

OMG Teho, I can’t believe you referenced JDS. “But mother said you’d be home WEDNES-day.”

These are the “other” marmies. Equally precious as their kitteh counterparts.

25 Theo 07.07.08 at 6:10 pm

Liberal arts education. I know a little about a lot. ;)

(that, and there’s this internet thing…)

26 BeanSidhe 07.07.08 at 7:29 pm

Those lil’ marmosets are so much better than those cheesy plastic fake-hand backscratchers.
That’s going on my birthday list.

Am imagining the CO spa…

27 marie_n 07.07.08 at 8:16 pm

bean- i’m going to have to request one of these guys as well. my boyfriend will not scratch hard enough, then when i complain about that, he scratches too hard and it hurts like hell and nearly bruises me. tiny furbabies will replace my boyfriend in the backscratching area. i’m sure he will not approve of this.

28 Lucy's mommeh 07.07.08 at 8:46 pm

Luvs me some marmosets.
I was thisclose to one in the zoo, couldn’t get over the tiny perfection of it..
We just looked at each other for the longest time through the glass.

29 Q 07.07.08 at 9:19 pm

Thank goodness for CO. I had terrible news today and really needed something cheerful. This and the great happy hamster pic were exactly what I needed.

30 Theresa 07.07.08 at 9:23 pm

I call for a COXCU to see if that monkeh has a French manicure.

[ZOMG PR0N!!!!1 - Ed.]

Anyone else remember what was for awhile the World’s Most Famous Marmoset– the one that peed on Johnny Carson’s head?

33 Jessica 07.07.08 at 9:41 pm

This is my husband.

34 Theo 07.07.08 at 9:48 pm

Er… both of them?

35 Theresa 07.07.08 at 10:05 pm

Theo, are you TELLING me that Carson, having once had a marmoset pee on his head, allowed ANOTHER marmoset onto his head??

Wow. The man was a consummate pro. Or something.

36 catablob 07.07.08 at 10:57 pm

Is this the same monkey that brings coffee for breakfast while having his assistant fetch the croissants?

37 biscuithead 07.08.08 at 5:05 am

We need a “shock the monkey/primate” section here on CO.
Seriously!

Peter Gabriel’s lyrics!
“Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can’t take any more
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey”

I loves me some monks.

38 Deckard Canine 07.08.08 at 4:09 pm

I propose a Monkeys category. Or perhaps Primates more generally (not counting humans).

39 Theo 07.08.08 at 7:56 pm

Dona eis requiem, BiscuitHead.

*WHAP*

40 biscuithead 07.09.08 at 2:49 am

Teho!

Niiiice… Yes, I’m geeky enough to get the Python reference.

So, what about having a monkeys/non-human primates section, eh?
