Best Kind of Monkey

I don't think there are any living things I hate more than the monkey. At least horrible necrotizing bacteria don't try to front behind a facade of "antics."

sorry...?

Also, a while ago someone posted pics of an adult male orangutan who had a sheet that he carried around like blankie. He was awesome but I can't remember his name or where he lives - help?

Abbott - :-( How can you hate monkeys?!

It was statistically proven here that the prosimian primates are superior to monkeys:

Best awesome prosimian! FUCK a monkey, tehy're all shit.

I don't want to spoil your thread with all my bitterness, though. I did like "Any Which Way You Can" and "Any Which Way But Loose," if only because I hate John Wayne more than I hate monkeys.

Leemur is my husband's nickname so I have love for them even though they creep me the hell out. You don't even like orangutans?

Really?

OH SHIT that is one of the scariest photos I've ever seen! Look at it: it looks hydrocephalic, with skin textured like a scrotum but as tearable and over-yielding as an overripe pear. Its hair is dispersed just enough to make it noticeable while still suggesting a barbecue brush or my evil great-grandmother. That face it's making, in orangutan body language probably means "I am going to pull your eye out Little Jack Horner-style." Like srsly that hideous grimace of a "smile" the make in the movies expresses aggression. The orangutan defines my personal Uncanny Valley. I feel tangibly unsettled just looking at them.

Hmmm. I just want to give him a hug.

an orangutan is an ape, not a monkey.

This might be one of the most heartbreaking pics in the world though. Little guy makes me well up:

Monkey/ape - I'm not too concerned with technicalities.

That is heartbreaking. Figure 19 is so sad!

Look at it: it looks hydrocephalic, with skin textured like a scrotum but as tearable and over-yielding as an overripe pear.

Holy shit I almost came when I read this.

I love monkeys, but Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey is clearly my favorite:

In 2002, Stuart Drummond campaigned for the office of Mayor of Hartlepool in the costume of the local football team's mascot, 'H'Angus the Monkey'. He narrowly won. His election slogan had been "free bananas for schoolchildren", a promise he was unable to keep. Despite this, he stood again three years later and won with a landslide victory.
