the mid-day ramble » Mylephnt

P.S. I just ate at a Sonic in New Mexico recently. No gravy, but everything could be ordered with green chiles in it. I love me a fast food restaurant with regional cuisine… (Oh, and my Sonic host was a 60+ year old man on roller skates.)

Chimpanzee that…my monkey baby news

It seems that the movies aren’t the only media taking their cues from the man-whose-head-is-shaped-like-a-f#%king-orange. A new TV show has to be seen to be believed. According to the website:

“With her pink bedroom, a designer wardrobe, the latest toys, games and makeup, Jessica Marie is like any spoiled little girl… Except that she’s a monkey. Just what makes a couple take on a 40-year commitment to an eternal toddler? How strong is the parent/monkey bond? And can a monkey really become a child substitute? It’s an extraordinary look into the real lives of people parenting monkeys in America.”

Karl is a genius.

I was re-listening to some Ricky Gervais the other day. As usual, Ricky and Steve were making fun or Karl (aka the bald headed manc). Karl was going on about an idea he had whereby you could take a old lady (78) and inject her with something and she would get younger and younger til she died at nine months as a baby. The point being that you (and your family) wouldn’t be scared of death. Of course, this “idea” was disregarded as completely mental, ridiculous idea, etc. And, who wouldn’t agree?

Well, as I was listening and agreeing to myself that this was a stupid idea, I realized that it is also the plot of one of the worst movies to ever get nominated for an Oscar – Benjamin Buttons. Karl was channelling F. Scott Fitzgerald and an critically-acclaimed movie. So, it seems that Karl was on to something.

Maybe he has the solution to the impacts of climate change: “They keep saying that sea levels are rising an all this. It’s nowt to do with the icebergs melting, it’s because there’s too many fish in it. Get rid of some of the fish and the water will drop. Simple. Basic science.”
