A new charity campaign to provide all monkeys with pants - of any
kind - so that upon visiting the zoo we may no longer be caught
staring into the fluorescent red abyss of their worryingly bare,
bulbous
anuses.
Nappies, chinos, tutus, perhaps even monkey-togas; all will be
distributed to
the monkeys on a first-come, first-served basis. The
monkeys get to choose their pant-wear – that's the trade-up. I think
it
only fair we grant our cousins this simple respect.
The World Wide Turkey-Scarf Fund, gallantly ridding our earthly
vision
from so-called "neckticles" for 25 years, has generously donated 17
spare scarves to the campaign, which we have gratefully received
and endeavor to fashion them into trendy monkey-sarongs for the
smaller primates.
Donations would be welcome. Thank you.

And quite right too Jinbish, would you want to drink anus-tea? I should
think not. |
|
| |
However, I would like to stress the campaign's secondary goal: to
produce a line of clothing that does not by any means personify the
monkey. That is: a fashion very much unlike anything you or I might
wear, but one that monkeys may call their own. |

Anus tea? That's a new one on me. I've had shit coffee, but never anus tea. |

//(Idea courtesy of Suzy, a silver-backed gorilla from Exeter.)//
huh ? |
|
| |
your friend Suzy who is a silverback-gorilla living in Exeter let you know she wanted pants ? |
|
| |
Yes, actually. Got a problem with silver-backs? |
|
| |
nonono none whatsoever, certainly no more than I have a problem with anybody/thing that could perform an arm-ectomy without surgical tools...does she like polyester ? Might I most humbly suggest chaps instead of pants until she gets used to the gymnastics involved in going to the loo. |
|
| |
[FT], the point of the monkey clothing is to save us from the:
//fluorescent red abyss of their worryingly bare, bulbous anuses//.
I don't think that chaps will fit the bil... |
|
| |
//Got a problem with silver-backs?// No, but you evidently do with red-arses. |
|
| |
While I think I share your aversion to monkey-bums, monkey clothing strikes me as being equally creepy. |
|
| |
I felt the same way about that idea the other day about wrestling a monkey in the bath - can't we just leave the monkeys alone? |
|
| |
In fact, after the initial "Yay!Monkeys!" response, it's not long before it becomes apparent that they're nothing more than small-minded id-driven thugs with a penchant for thievery, mischief and who's actions can only be properly controlled by monolith. |

You're not confusing the monkey enclosure with Glasgow again, are you? |
|
| |
//the point of the monkey clothing is to save us from the://
ahh missed that part; doesn't seem quite in line with it being a request from a silverback gorilla though. |
|
| |
[zen_tom], you're such an apeist. Next you'll be going on about how
they've all come over here, stolen our bananas, and should go back to
the jungle where they came from, while you vigorously shake your fist
at them. Take that knotted hanky off your head and join us in the 21st
century why don't you? |

Monkey Pants are at least as reasonable as an automatic-bag-o-sand (science included). Let's vote this idea up to 2.5 buns, and watch [theleopard] languish in the fire and brimstone he has accepted, by the signing of the "agreement". |
|
| |
[+] for no other reason... ( well, there is that jealousy thing) |
|
| |
There was a Victorian campaign to cover otherwise naked animals with clothes for the sake of public decency. However I can't find a link to it due to coverage of PETA's nude protesting. |
|
| |
//A new charity campaign to provide all monkeys with pants//I remember monkey boots. + |
|
| |
In 1966 I received a gag gift of a record album with a horse wearing boxer shorts on the cover. The album was an impassioned plea for decent attire for naked animals. |
|
| |
I think monkey pants is a terrible idea, unless the monkeys voluntarily put them on (and clean them). Personally, I am jealous of them. Nothing like a nice breeze blowing across your naked arse to wake you in the morning. We can't deprive them of that can we? |
|
| |
Velvet dressing-gowns for monkeys would work just as well and, with the addition of a few props (Stradivarius, deerstalker hat, opium) give a pleasing Holmsian theme to the monkey enclosure. Then, to continue the theme, the gorillas would all be given Columbo-style trenchcoats. |
|
| |
eh...put em kilts. //ducks [jinbish's] shoe// |
|
| |
Will the pants have pockets? |
|
| |
My concern is that the monkeys might want to use them for some pocketable object. When wanting to retrieve said object later, their clenched fist won't allow them to remove their hand from the pocket. Given how much they need their arms for balance, they may end up with red faces despite their red anuses being covered. |
|
| |
Anyone else see anything wrong with a silverback called Suzy? |
|
| |
(unless perhaps his father intended leaving him at an early age) |
|
| |
Quick, someone hand me another shoe... |
|
| |
I see this idea has plus fours buns .I agree with [shudder...]. Although the intention is good, it might meet pockets of resistance. This may result in the ocassional flare up of public opinion. It may seem capri-cious to say, but I like that fact that something so inseamly could one day by considered en vogue. Monkeys com-pleat with pants, else it could be a natural waist. Alternatively, there could be those not so taken-in with the idea. Most likely those at the bottom of the bell curve. |

Nice anno [4whom]. Suits you! |

So, in youth pants then, [theleopard]? <see link> |

Your monkeys are going to be wearing monkey pants in next to no time! |

//Ha - Nice monolith//
Nah - wrong aspect ratio. |
|
| |
Oh yes, it should be 1:4:9 - but there's no z axis on the halfbakery, which leaves 4:9 - and there's no linespacing in real-life, so that might jig it towards 5:7(ish), depending on fonts. |
|
| |
Just dawned on me that this monolith might inspire you apes to hit with
bones the closest thing you can find... |

buuuuuum... buuuuuM... BuuuuuuUM... |
