This is a real live dead and stuffed spider monkey.
Only our family and the peeps close to me know the story of this monkey,
and how he was hung on a wall,
collecting years of dust,
and giving all who entered the home he shared with his owner,
this look of pure crazed jungle fever!!!
From what I understand, there are people out there who like to collect the "strangely different" things in life.
To those of you who I am describing,
TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!!!!
Take this monkey off our back.
The bid starts at $20 which is a REAL steal if you look around at what other dust/smoke infested stuffed monkeys go for.
We adjusted this price to bottom dollar to compensate for a missing finger that has been used as a prosthetic in a different region of the monkey's body.
[btw: Elise and I have NOOO idea of how that finger broke off!!!!
We were neeeeveeer there!!!
We were neeeeveeer there!!!
You hear me?!?!?
NEVER THERE!!!!!]
Let's just say that the monkey may not be hung on the wall anymore.....
but since the finger transplant this lil buddy is still hung.
**Jay D and Paula....I know you really wanted this for your family room.
Call me....we can work out a deal.

This is Paula not Jay D.....
Oh HELL NO! This monkey is the freakiest ever! The picture doesn't even come close to capturing the haunting look of this monkey. Jay d wants to hang it in the garage...scare off any unwelcome intruders. Hell-why not just hang it on our front door? That ought to keep the missionaries and little deacons away on fast Sundays. The freakiest thing about it is how you pick it up and it's just stiff and THERE! ugh. This will fetch a high dollar in the auction....I can feel it in my bones...and it scares the hell out of me.
Hi...Paula and not Jay D AGAIN....
For those of you who can't comprehend the freakishness of this monkey...think of the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. It may be a different kind of monkey but I swear it's their long lost cousin. Those monkeys in The Wizard of Oz gave me nightmares as a kid and now it's probably gonna happen again tonight.
A freaky clown has got nothing on this primate.
and that tail.....ugh. seriously...nightmares.
Paula, I can just see you whipping up the cutest little outfits for your pet monkey. He/she would just sit there and let you put anything on him. What a conversation piece.
I'll pay you twenty bucks to take it.

Auntie E....sorry but I'm pretty sure the monkey ended up on the truck coming to YOUR house! And by pretty sure I really mean I'm POSITIVE...along with some owls. Jay D may have sneaked it on there at the request of someone :) I can just imagine it in your Gone With the Wind room....we could design it a pretty little dress out of some green curtains and teach him to say,
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"
Enough of this monkey business....I called around and found the monkey a good home. The Phoenix zoo will take him. I failed to mention the monkey was stuffed, maybe they won't notice.

monkey no likee a zoo.
waaaaay too much fresh air.
monkey needs to live in a bar surrounded by smoke, cobwebs and sinners. it's what he knows.....i don't think the other zoo monkeys will accept him with his new finger-deener anyway....
Did you really get rid of him? Ive got a great prank lined up if not...

A monkey with a 'fingerdeener' ??
Jolie how would that go on my wall in the main room of my condo? You are the decorater so what do ya think? Perhaps between the Indian pottery and Ralph's African relics.
On second thought I don't want to
put my conservative eldrly friends here in heart failure so forget the whole thing [of course I was prepared to make a very substantial bid] your m-i-l
Sorry Em....Scary monkey was secretly packed in a box and put in a truck back to AZ. You never know though....he could be one of those "gifts" that get passed around the fam!!!
