[Bossy Monkey]

Just wondering...

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, King Kong. You'll just have to put it in a reply and kick my thread if you want to say it that badly.:P

No, Bradley Ape!

13. I was "Stanley Ape."

But everyone's favorite was Biff Ape.

BTW, when are we ever gonna put out that "Ape 2000" newsletter we kept threatening our fans with?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

14. I guess it's gonna have to be Ape 3000 now.

Plenty of time to work up some content.

[RandomKoolzip]

15. Yeah....when we re-unite The Apes, the ground will shake,

walls will fall down, the earth will tremble, and five people out of 6 billion will know what in the hell we're talking about.

Look out, World!

18. Funny we 're talking about this....

especially given that I'm wearing this shirt right now.

[RandomKoolzip]

19. Fuckin' beautiful. Has New Orleans ever recovered?

We left some deep gashes in their music scene, just like when the Beatles left Liverpool.

10. which aren't great apes

I'm particularly partial to white handed gibbons (Hylobates lar), but they aren't great apes either.

Of the great apes...orangutans.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

16. Good question.

Which are great apes and which are merely satisfactory apes. And who decides?

"I know great ape when I see it."

[Zensea]

9. the Super Ape

[Xipe Totec]

12. Long Pig. What else?

Think about it.



:evilgrin:

17. Willie B. to be specific. A sad passing. Lots of fond memories.

[Dukkha]

20. kudos for getting the list right

People always tend to lump monkeys in with the apes.

NO! If it has a tail, it's NOT an ape!

[Bossy Monkey]

23. I had to look up the term to find out that gibbons don't make the cut,

but the monkey/ ape thing hasn't been a problem for me since about age 10. Apparently, baboons and mandrills are monkeys. I think of them as not having tails, but it seems I was mistaken. Anyway, this is pretty neat: http://www.emory.edu/LIVING_LINKS/Taxonomy.html
No clue where The Monkees fit in, though.:)

[Squatch]

21. How about Mr Squatch, first name Sas?

[Bossy Monkey]

22. Only one vote for chimps? Y'all must watch the same documentaries

I do.:)
