Regular readers will be aware of the work of the Splendid Monkey Gallery which was - at its inception in October 2006 - received with near-hysterical joy by monkey picture lovers across the world. But what is this? Yes! I am going to revive it for 2008! Great news, I am sure you will agree.
"Why the revival?", I hear you cry. The answer is simple! It is January and many friends (real and virtual) are a little down in the mouth, what with the endless grey sky and prospect of February to come.
Why, even my own ability to affix a rictus grin to my gurning monkey face has been tried of late for a number of reasons, including temperatures of -17, minor car accidents and the mind-bending strangeness of waiting for a work permit to arrive from the Canadian government.But enough of this misery. Let us cheer ourselves up with pictures of splendid monkeys and create Splendid Monkey Gallery 2008, which is quite a lot like (if not identical to), Splendid Monkey Gallery 2006-2007 (which may be viewed at your leisure by pressing either on the ever-changing Flickr box on the right, or on this word here).
Should you wish to enter a picture of a splendid monkey, you may do so by following the instructions clearly laid out here. (In summary: I decide if they're in or not based on whether or not they make me laugh; email me the hot snaps at nonworkingmonkey@mac.com.)
Finally, to start things off I offer you, my legions of adoring readers, a photograph of a splendid monkey-based bathroom accessory spotted at the St-Eustache fleamarket last weekend. (Eagle-eyed French-speaking viewers will note that he is the last of a discontinued line, but we were unable to buy him as our bathrooms are already full of plaster lizards, life-sized cutouts of Pierre Trudeau and slightly soiled copies of The Readers' Digest.)
Come on then! What you got? And is it better than this?
