Now That's Just Bananas

Now That's Just Bananas

I once worked on a series called "When Animals Attack." It wasn't one of my finer moments in my career but it was a paycheck and dirty money still carries the same currency as fancy Wallstreet money... in these hard economic times, maybe it's actually worth the paper it's printed on.



The special taught me one thing.. Don't fuck with animals. People you could turn your back on. Most of them are scared of laws and other shit like that. But never, ever turn your back on an animal. This story only proves my point.

Famous Chimp Goes Ape!
A pet chimpanzee - who had appeared in TV commercials and shows - got loose at a home at 241 Rock Rimmon Road in Stamford Monday afternoon, according to Stamford police. And it was not his first time.

The 175-pound animal attacked its owner's friend, leaving the victim with severe facial injuries. She was taken to Stamford Hospital. Police do not expect the person to live. The friend, believed to be a 50-year-old woman, opened the car door and was promptly attacked.

The Stamford Advocate reports the primate's owner called 911 and then tried to stop the attack by stabbing the chimp with a butcher knife.

An officer shot and killed the animal when it tried to get into his police cruiser, said police.

The animal was reportedly named Travis and had issues in the past.

On October 19, 2003, Travis escaped from his owner's SUV and went running through the streets. More than a dozen police officers chased around after him at the time.

In a newspaper article at the time, police said the chimp, then 10, was toilet trained. He reportedly dressed himself, ate at the table and drank wine. He could use a computer and remote control.

He starred in Old Navy and Coca-Cola commercials and even appeared on the Maury Povich Show, according to an article in the Stamford Advocate.
Sounds like He went bananas . Little-known fact: Chimps are assholes. My question is how often has he gone apeshit before? How long was it between the owner stabbing the chimp and the cops showing up to shoot him? Was the chimp ignoring the owner stabbing it or what? I'm glad this monkey business was stopped before anyone else was injured.

Did you know that a chimp, upon attacking you, will first go after your face. If you can't see it, then you can't kill it. Then after trying to rip off your face it'll go after your junk. Chimp attacks are most often caused because a chimp thinks you're going to rape it. Some how chimps are filled with such an ego that they think they're so god damn hot that everyone wants to rape them. So just look like you don't want to fuck the chimp and you'll be ok.


When animals attack Air Conditioners

This happens more often than you think. I remember watching some show on Discovery or whatever about this guy who takes care of chimps/monkeys for a living and he had no NOSE or EARS and big hunks taken out of him because they went apeshit at him. I also heard a story of one person who donated their ex-pet monkey to a zoo, when he came back to visit it with a gift it started a chain reaction of monkey jelousy and had his testicles ripped right off.

I think it's pay back for having them stuffed into children's clothes and paraded around like idoits. In the wild chimps wage war against rival groups, and if they outnumber the enemy they will attack and then rip off the enemy's testicles and other parts, and continue to angrily mutilate him long after he is dead. I remember reading about a guy who had his nose bit off and his testicles ripped off by a chimp a couple of years ago. Be wary, people, and guard your balls around chimps.


More dumb pets

Monkeys would make great elite commandos if we could train them properly. Just think of what would have happened if that chimp had gotten into that police cruiser like they said it was trying to do, it would have been unstoppable. Now THAT would make a great movie.

Here is a video of the incident. As you can see the whole thing was very brief and although the woman was injured in the end it looks like she will be OK.

He'd better not have been wearing people-clothes when they shot him! That would be the difference between an unfortunate incident and a tragedy.



In the end the real issue here is could a chimp kill a human with something more than its teeth. Like a sword or something. But then we'll be arguing about guns vs swords. There will be no need to argue about swords when humans invented flame throwers. Swords be damned. Someone needs to invent a chimp thrower. Or possibly a flaming chimp thrower. The country that has those first will rule the world. Absolute power corrupts absolutely . How do you stop the chimps from turning around and coming after you? That's just a risk you've got to take when you're involved in gorilla warfare.

But this isn't the first and it wont be the last time this sort of thing happens as made clear from this other Monkey attack
St. James Davis, 62, sustained horrific injuries after being attacked by the chimps. Davis had part of his face ripped off, losing his nose, lips and right eye, said his wife. He also lost all of his fingers and part of his right foot and right hand.
Basically, this husband and wife raised a little chimp like their own son, dressing it, teaching it to use the toilet it and everything else. Then police took it away after it bit an officer and a local woman.


You don't want to see what happens when this animal attacks

When the couple go visit the chimp for its birthday, they sit down with the chimp for birthday cake. Then their chimp, along with other chimps, go nuts and attack the man. Why would you ever keep such a dangerous, powerful, and intelligent animal as a pet? It's like they took crazy cat lady to its most horrifying extreme.

You Know Who Gets My Goat?

You Know Who Gets My Goat?

Last year I took the time to give.. and give I did. In the form of unleashing bees on the poor souls of some backwards ass country that was highlighted on 24. It was my way to say FUCK YOU to poverty and to stamp out hunger... in the form giving unleashing the wrath of bees on the less fortunate through the Heifer International foundation. You buy an animal and they send it to the family so that they can support themselves on what it provides. Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps type of program.

I looked at it this way, I was paying $30 to help a family increase their crop yields and earn extra income through the magic of pollination. In reality I was paying $30 to prank the fuck out of some poor people by foisting a swarm of angry bees on them. It was a win/win situation if I ever saw one. To think, for only 0.08 cents a day, I was able to instill the fear of bees onto a child who already had enough to worry about.



I made the donation and slept a little easier that night. Mainly because I didn't have a box full of bees coming my way. Over the past year I received monthly magazines of WORLD ARK constantly hoping to hear that my bees unleashed uncountable amounts of horrors on their new owners. No luck.

Here we are again in the middle of the Christmas season and much like the idea of recycling is appealing in April, the idea of being charitable is on everyones mind. Namely Heifer International as I received an order form as to what sort of animal I want dump on a family this year.



The thought process was long and took some time. Last year I gave them bees. I can't give that again. Not only was it ineffective in instilling the fear of whatever coke bottle they call God, but you can't follow up bees with more bees. One must follow proper gift giving manners. Let's take a look at the other options as to what to give.

Llama - Llame. Whens the last time a llama even made the news.
Water Buffalo - This would only lead them to cutting off their wings and really, Africa is not ready for a Hooters any time soon.
Cow - After seeing how hamburgers create fatties here, I'd say it's a charity case to NOT give them one.
Flock of chicks - If it was a flock of seagulls, I'd gladly pay to send them to Africa.
Flock of ducks -Again, not seagulls.
Flock of geese - Since foire gras will be illegal in California, send them here before it's outlawed!
Trio of rabbits - I have this thing with rabbits. It's not Easter, it's Christmas. No rabbits!
Trees - Wait.. what? A tree as charity? Come on. I'm trying to give someone something that will help them. A tree seems so generic.
pig - It just doesn't seem like a good gift. It's like giving someone a meat log from the mall... only much less cooked.



So that rules out a lot of choices but leaves me wondering what exactly am I going to get these poor Africans. Then it hits me, if I can't unleash swarms of bees on people, I can at least play it off for a laugh and there we get the Goat. At the very least I can laugh with the witty remark that they're getting my goat.

Add in that Goats are wacky animals. They eat all kinds of shit that is just left around. Put anything in front of a goat and turn around for a minute. Bet you that when you look again that goat will be chewing on it. I once saw a goat eat a soda can only later to be milked. I'm not sure about you, but I don't want any added iron in my frosted flakes, thank you kindly.



In all truths, it's nice to help out some random strangers around the world who are willing to work for themselves but just need a little push. Bees may sound like a scary thing to you or I, but to them it could provide a quality of life that is not only filled with bee stings, but is now one where they can exchange and sell Honey. Goats, while eating everything in sight, can help maintain a field and provide milk and cheese products that can be sold at the market. In a world where most charities have very little of the money actually going towards the cause, it's nice to know that your money is being used wisely... in this case, used to actually get a family your donation.

On a final note, the charity mentioned in Mondays blog that put people in the torture position of playing Desert Bus gets some attention from one of the creators of the damned unreleased game as Penn speaks out on the matter.

First Pets

First Pets

I'm not going to bore you with some story about my first pet. Hell, I don't even remember it. I'm sure it was a Dalmatian. Hell, that's all I had as a kid. My mom loved them. But that's besides the point. Since we're all into politics and well, the whole spill on who's going to win and why is a played out joke. Namely because someone already won. So that joke has long since left.

But since Obama won it's time to make due on the puppy promise he already buried himself with during his victory speech. Way to go Obama. So in the effort to be fair and balanced, let's take a look at the previous pets who took a crap in the white house.


One of the most famous of pets


Now that's one first pet!


Well, there's certainly not any racial joke here at all...


GET HIM OFF MY NUTS!


Ich bin ein mutt


White house/ White Dog


TV sure was boring


Can't secret service take-care of the dog out?


That's one bitch of a first lady.


They aren't ripping his throat out...
BAD DOG! BAD! No treat for you


Ain't that cute. He thinks he's people.


School systems? Screw that. We
need better reading systems for pets!


I wonder how George Sr. could sleep with that
ugly looking bitch. Not to mention the dog also.


They sure need a landscaper at the white house
Or to have the dog not piss all over the lawn


At least dogs don't keep stained dresses


Not the first one he had go get his ball.... ZING!


Boy, does he like to be around a lot of bitches


This is not how you walk a dog!


Again, you don't take a dog out for a flight!

So what will Obama's mutt be? Well it's clear that he's not making friends with that sort of language! I'm sure I can come up with an overused "Bitch" joke about it though. Cause hey, it's always funny the 100th time I make it, right?

Then there's Socks the Cat. At 19 he's still kicking ass... well, as much ass as a cat can kick. Which isn't much. I suppose it's limited to just sleeping around all day and begging for cat food. Now man's best friend may be a dog, but if there's anyone that shows off how a cool pet looks like, it's Socks the cat. That mofo was stylin'

What? Expecting another bitch joke? No way,
This is just one big pussy. Oh yeah, and a cat also


up down left right A B A B select start gets you 9 more lives


Fox News? Fuck you, I ain't answering shit from you!
