Day 13: Still No Sign of the Monster

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on October 14, 2009

As the expedition pauses at one of the many watering pools that dot this mysterious island, I note with some frustration that we are no closer to sighting the giant ape known to the natives only as Kong.  If there was only some clue…

1: “Awwwwww, dah koot widdle monkeykins”

2: OMG MIKE YA KNOW WEEELUVU (“Ri Ruv Roo!!! Barrooo!!”)
BUT OMG y’all MISSED the OBVY storyline (or maybe I”m just Goofy — in which case, see the research I turned in to VonZepp in another column yesterday about Pluto & Goofy…) BUT OMG

This isn’t a “Minky” (Peter Sellers, Pink Panther -pseudo-French) exploring King Kong !!!! IT’S CURIOUS GEORGE, fer___Plpkq[pjpqwj’s sake !!!

It’s a Monkey, & he’s showing Curiosity !! What MORE do you need ????

16 Kelsey 10.14.09 at 7:28 am

This guy rocks. :) He’s just what I needed after the disturbingly sad video I was emailed about child abuse. (I hate getting those, truth be told) :(

Does anybody have an idea what kind of monkey this dude is? He’s super cute to look at, lol.

17 Trabb's Boy 10.14.09 at 7:41 am

What a wonderful shot! The splayed toes, the backlit ears, the dawning recognition of what he has been drinking from. I’m atingle in so many ways.

18 Rapwnzel 10.14.09 at 7:44 am

Squeeeeeeeee! He’s so adorabuhls… I want to peench his widdle bottom and plant some keeses on his round forehead.

19 Aquamarine 10.14.09 at 7:49 am

I love the way his back foot is gripping the edge of the puddle—don’t fall in, little dude!!

20 Tygress22 10.14.09 at 7:53 am

Hey….it’s a Monchihi! So soft and cuddley :) Totally adorable.

21 Theresa 10.14.09 at 8:07 am

Mon-keh!
Mon-keh-eeeeeee!

22 Von Zeppelin 10.14.09 at 8:13 am

I like the neatly parted hair on the top of the head, with a little schmeer of mud. His mom probably groomed him nicely and told him NOT to get dirty or play in puddles, since we’re leaving to visit Auntie Bertha in just a few minutes.

23 Illise 10.14.09 at 8:14 am

Little monkey so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

24 LovesDogs 10.14.09 at 8:22 am

Cute Baby Smeagol {before he grew up}

26 Saffron 10.14.09 at 8:50 am

Hey hey it’s the minkee!!!

27 Kristi 10.14.09 at 9:02 am

Just imagine how shocked he is going to be when he realizes that it’s not a gorilla and is in fact, a T-rex and that he is in some weird island theme park…..

I totally want to watch Jurassic Park now.

28 Rafe 10.14.09 at 10:40 am

cute baby macaque! yay for making my day.

29 Paunchie 10.14.09 at 10:53 am

@Kristi yeah, just what does he think is making those ripples in the water??

(giant Jurassic Park footsteps!) eeeep!

30 Kathy 10.14.09 at 10:58 am

36 Resriechan 10.14.09 at 12:56 pm

@ Aquamarine:

Is it possible, that I am inferring that your Lifetime Film Viewing Experience includes at least one screening of MP/Search/ Holy Grrrrrrrrrrrail??????

37 Aquamarine 10.14.09 at 1:01 pm

@ Resriechan:

yes. about one…….THOUSAND. i am, alas, an addict. i must be punished! bad, bad zoot! (now watch me have gotten that line wrong)

methinks thou must be in a different time zone than myself….although i don’t really want to know….it’s sort of fun not really knowing anything about you clowns….and i mean that with all luvvvvvv! :-D

38 Resriechan 10.14.09 at 2:47 pm

@ Aquamarine:

This has entirely NUTTIN’ to do w/ the monkey investigating the King Kong footprint and is ENTIRELY useless, but:

*My favorite single line/ dialogue, FROM MP/ Holy Grail ..in ….(drum roll, here, please) IN ELMER FUDD Dialect, is as fowwows:

*”Hewp! Hewp! I’m being wepwessed!”

39 bellaitaliana 10.14.09 at 2:48 pm

Reminds me of a certain scene from the Lion King…just switch Mr. Monkeykins out for Simba…

Cute!

40 Aquamarine 10.14.09 at 2:53 pm

@ Resriechan: :-D

“Oh, NOW we see the oppwession inhewent in the system!”

my SI and i love to sit and do this scene, and the coconuts scene, by the hour….we get better at it the more we drink…..mind you, the movie is not even on, it’s just us….and the dogs….with their looks of pity…..

how long will COers allow us to be off task like this?

41 Resriechan 10.14.09 at 3:07 pm

@ Aquamarine:
meself, I’ve been curious, WHO & HOW the coconuts banging together for footsteps developed…. My next favorite moment, is when Arthur et al trot across the fields near the peasants (clapping said coconuts) & the peasants discuss his identity.

“Who’s that? I dunno — he must be The King.” “Why?”
“He hasn’t got **** all over him”.

(and the two of them describe this so analytically & calmly; as if it’s simply a mandatory work policy that all peasants are required to have ****all over them)
pretty supreme film moment ‘f ya ask ME…

42 AmyJ 10.14.09 at 5:02 pm

Aquamarine and Resriechan, I’m with you. Possibly my favorite movie of all time (although there’s also The Princess Bride, Casablanca…).

It’s so quotable!

43 Queen of Dork 10.14.09 at 5:46 pm

I KNEW IT! I KNEW Curious George was a real, live monkey!!

44 Subhangi 10.14.09 at 10:19 pm

Awww. Is he a Japanese macaque?

45 Aquamarine 10.15.09 at 8:30 am

@ Resriechan & AmyJ:

I don’t know the genesis of the coconuts….hmm…..but I love how they follow Sir Robin as he is gallantly and bravely beating a hasty retreat….

One of my mostest favoritest lines in the peasant scene is this one:

“Wat’ry tarts ‘andin’ out scimitars is no basis for a system ‘o gov’ment!”

Ahh….MP&THG……I could do this all day!

You mean having **** all over yourself ISN’T a mandatory workplace requirement….? (scurries off to bathroom, humiliated)

46 Paunchie 10.15.09 at 12:23 pm

you can’t go around claiming to be King just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

If I went around saying I was an emperor, just cause some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!

oh gawd hep’ me.

47 Aquamarine 10.15.09 at 1:26 pm

paunchi i *heart* u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*sigh* keels over in happyness)

48 Paunchie 10.15.09 at 1:46 pm

(( furrows brow over “moistened bint” )) (?)

[It's rather derogatory Brit slang. All I'm sayin' - Ed.]

49 Aquamarine 10.15.09 at 4:26 pm

i thought it was actually “moistened bink,” but what do i know?

50 Suh 10.16.09 at 11:15 am

so adorable and tiny

51 micsix 10.18.09 at 2:23 am

Admit it all you parents out there – except for a bit of fur you want to say (Audrey-Adam-Zoe-get away from that puddle) Gah- I want to scoop up the monkey and dry them off and take them to Mc-hamburgersons playplace. My kids are primates and so am I. I love you monkey- Michael

52 cp 11.10.09 at 9:51 pm

it’s a rhesus macaque!
