Bongo Monkey

[fogman]

He kinda looks like one of Michael Jackson's close friends!

Yeah...not too far off, actually.....

A month ago I was at Disneyland with the family and saw a guy eating a turkey leg and this scary picture flashed into my head. Now back to the thread about bongo monkeys.

That's all, just Bongo Monkey.

Imagine the fingering technique a monkey would have! One fretting hand, and two, perhaps enven three others for plucking!

Yeah, me too.

That's all, just Bongo Monkey.

Is that sung to the tune of "Jungle Boogie"?

 

[bassmonkeee]

I approve, too.

On a slightly related note, I was listening to James Brown's "Make it Funky," and I SWEAR he said, "Eat a monkey now."

Maybe it was just too close to lunchtime...

It looks like a chimp because it is.

And I understand the difference between monkeys, apes, new world monkeys and old world monkeys. I even understand how lemurs fit into the mix.

(I am a ruthless reader of all things anthropological.)

But Bongo Monkey sounds better.

Doesn't it?

Admit it.

Pan paniscus bongonadium is its Linnean trinomen. Popular name: Bongo bonobo.

(I did my masters thesis on trends in primate taxonomy).

Bongo Bonobo? Now that is just too funny! We could take this thread in a whole new direction. But then again.......

Fred, I knew there were reasons I liked you.

I'm a primate dumbass, but helped a friend of mine a few summers back. She was working on handedness in baboons. (They don't really exhibit any preference.)

Actually, I'm afraid that I have simian alzheimers--I got my masters degree back in '76--& promptly began forgetting everything that I learned. Bonobos are cool, though--as are baboons. I prefer my right hand.

By the way, I was impressed with how I wove "gonad" together with "bongo".
