My friend here at FoxAtlanta, Santas_Elf ask me to post a picture of my shaved monkey.

I tried to find the best "glamour shot" pose for him to enjoy looking at.

I originally found this photo at bestpicsaround.com, but this one along with some others are posted on a humorous thread at www.jappinoy.com, which is an online
Filipino-Japanese community. One poster there made a comment about this little beauty. I am assuming the language is Tagalog, which for the record, I do not speak. Evidently neither does Babel Fish. I did find one online translator called InterTran and gave it the old college try:

Bahaghari
: " Maybe nakapulot it of shaver hahahaha toward theory ko pati den what her are shaved also seem Saturday toward locomotive uwahahahaha"

"What her are shaved also seem Saturday toward locomotive." "uwahahahaha" ? I am going to go out on a limb and say something must be lost in translation.


Moving along. if you are a fan of the tv series "Two and a Half Men," then you should recognize the title of this blog as one of the best ever episodes which found brothers Charlie and Alan taking their personal frustrations out on one another, resulting in these snippets from the sitcom about simians:

Alan: When we were kids, Charlie told his friends that I was a shaved monkey our mom won in a poker game.
------
Alan: In high school, he told people that I was his shaved monkey.
Charlie: I always wanted a shaved monkey!


Let me close this touch on shaved monkeys with an article from the Radjadhani Express from October 12, 2007.

Mumbai Police Bust Monkey Shaving Ring


Mumbai , Sep. 31: Mumbai police arrested 5 men and two women belonging to a Malawi based monkey-shaving ring and released 3 baby apes from their captivity. The police also seized state of the art shaving equipment from the accused.

Talking to the reporters, ACP Yuvraj Singh said that the Mumbai police arrested the accused on warrants issued by the Interpol. The tips provided by a lone local barber who became suspicious about the ultra-sophisticated shaving equipment found with the accused led police to their hideouts.

"Since there is a huge demand in the Western countries for third world babies, there are a number of very well established rackets conning gullible Westerners. Malawi gang is the worst of the lot. They have been supplying shaved chimps as human babies to many Western countries including US and UK. We have found the names and phone numbers of many very famous Hollywood stars and singers with them" Mr.Singh said. He advised any one who received a baby from this gang to take the baby to the nearest veterinarian. He, however clarified that while many of the babies supplied by this gang are in fact shaved baby-chimps, there may be some cases where shaved-monkeys were also supplied after surgically removing their tails.

Panic in Hollywood: Ever since the news of the arrest got out, a sense of panic has gripped many parts of Hollywood. Stars are rushing to the veterinarians to get their children tested. While so far no one has admitted of receiving a shaved-ape, an anguished Hollywood super star and Grammy award winning singer confided to this reporter that she is deeply worried about this. "My kid is now in 3rd grade. His teachers have always complained that he growls, scratches and bites his fellow students as well as the teachers, not to mention urinating and defecating in the class room. Till now I thought it was a mild case of learning disability and took him to a shrink and put him on medication. I am not so sure now. I have loved him as a son and I will continue to love him as a son even if the tests reveal that he is in fact a shaved-monkey. The thing that depresses me is how to break the news to him. How do I tell him 'Son, your parents are not humans. They are in fact monkeys'".

It's been fun. Just remember that the only thing that separates man from all the other primates is the ability to manipulate a razor. It's not all that easy to use Nair either.

Her little photo is a bit different that her professional shot. In that one she's all polished looking in the red jacket. The blog pic better fits the way she describes herself. Have you ever noticed you can tell when people snap photos of themselves? Guess I started noticing that when all those photos of Miley Cyrus were made public and in pretty much all of them one of her arms is out of the frame, holding the camera.

If you look at an online album of photos belonging to Casey Anthony, mother of missing toddler Caylee, you will see several shots she took of herself "at arm's length." Meaning only she put on a pair of sunglasses, a cap, some lipstick, and held that digital camera out in front of her and snapped a shot. Seems there is an awfully lot of those type pictures on the web these days. That should really reveal the immediate gratification some people require - they can't even wait the 30 seconds it would take to use the timed shutter release on a camera. Case in point - Jessica Hudgens, another star from the Disney crowd, , who grabbed several shots of herself in varying degrees of (un)dress, always striking the same pose while standing in the same spot that she had the camera set for.

Polaroids? We can only hope for UV instability and their subsequent disentigration.

That is a strange case with Caylee/casey & mom, so many people decide they have no further need of the kids & they disappear. Have u seen this HUGE fat woman judge on Court TV? It seems they r trying to get rid of her thru a peer type hearing, she looks awful & must be 4-500 lbs

Oh yes, I have been watching the disciplinary hearing out of Las Vegas NV carried on True tv (court tv). Even with all the allegations and testimony from her bailiff, that 400# elephant in the corner, or maybe more in her case, is somehow ignored. Gee, wonder why Bertha Huge Butt on a Scooter had to have the black boy put her shoes on for her, or help get her big fat arms in her judge's robe for court? Oh, don't forget how often he had to nudge her awake during court? Please, if she had any smarts she would claim some kind of ADA claim as the reason her seven month tenure ended so poorly. I even think she is using as part of her defense that the security system at the courthouse didn't make allowances for her get a round scooter and attendant. Do you think she demands special treatment at WalMart?

Any question why I have no faith in the judicial system - most especially the judges who make decisions that directly affect your life?

We had a little joke in law school -"what do you call the student who graduates at the bottom of the class?"

"Your Honor."

Without a doubt the most bizarre thing i have ever seen with the title of JUDGE! How in the hell did she get elected?

Judge Halverson was elected in Nov 2006 and suspended in July 2007. She said that she was unfairly targeted not only for her appearance but because of "the people who elected her." She vows it is her passion to keep fighting for those who put her on the bench but I have no idea what kind of platform she ran on. A strong one I hope. She says she's being unfairly targeted because of her size. She did admit to falling asleep once on the bench, but attributes it to her medical conditions. It's the chicken or the egg first question if you ask me. I am sure the people of Clark County Nevada are happy that her suspension from the bench last fall has not stopped her from collecting her annual salary of $130,000.

She is married to a felon, but it has been reported he has stayed out of trouble since his marriage to the Judge. Her bailiff testified that she would scream at her husband when he stopped by the office, telling him she was tired of looking at his ugly arse. He wasn't much help around the house either.

In December, Clark County declared Halverson's home a public nuisance and told her to clean it up. Junk covered her yard and her pool was filled with stagnant water. The Judge said that because she has to use that "get a round" scooter she is unable to move the objects and cannot get her husband to do it.

What gets me is they seem to be ignoring the 400# elephant in the corner. That would be the judge herself. I am not going to make fun of her obesity and she does have medical conditions which to me seem directly related to the extra weight she carries. I would r

I would rather leave those concerns where they belong - between her and her doctor.I wouldn't wish ill health on anyone. But her hateful behavior is another manner - why some people think they can bully another person is beyond me. Guess it's the whole inferiority complex they suffer from that makes them show no respect to other people or their feelings.

Most disturbing are the questions about her integrity and her lack of criminal procedure experience. This is what makes for bad judicial decisions. How can she be the face of justice when she lacks the adequate legal ability to conduct criminal trials "without threat of serious harm to the public or the administration of justice.

> omarsm01 - How do you prepare it? Do you marinate it? Use any fresh herbs? Maybe saute it with a little olive oil and garlic or do you prefer to boil it then finish it up on the grill?

Gee, do you think it is that "dude" part of your name that makes you susceptible to such thinking?

This spanking of the monkey, is it comparable to choking the chicken?

I ask only because I have an entry nearly ready to roll about cockfighting.

Touche' look I was merely trying to make a funny comment no ill will intended to the female gender,just another poor attempt at something I've already lost my good sense of "humor"
If you'd like to see me in another more intelligent light try subscribing to my blogs,
and by the way choking a chicken has nothing to do with BLEEP fighting that involve's the death of an animal and my "BLEEP" is along way from being dead,it still crows every morning However, shaving a monkey should be a criminal offence, pretty much like me trying to be a comedian.

I know you were making funnies. As to your crying "fowl" - write the word as one, and it won't be censored. I am talking about the "sport" which Virginia finally stepped up to the plate about.

Exactly what charges should be brought against a person that chooses to shave a monkey in your eyes?

Taze, To the fullest extent Animal cruelty laws will permit, Dog fighting /BLEEP fighting/ Bear wrestling/ any thing that causes undo harm to any animal should be considered, One of my pet Peeves. Taze I love & respect nature. Mother Nature has done a heck of a job in controlling species through Natural selection & extinction processes. Only when Man lays his hands on the task does it go terribly ah rye. Michel Vic got off light I'd taken him out in the back yard and given him a taste of his own medicine, Violence against any Animal perputrated by anyone should be a crime punishable same as any brutality against a fellow human being, especially if it's the cause of death of the animal. I also don't agree with hunting as a specie control method.
Hundreds of Wolves & Coyotes were slaughtered to control them, Our big Cats also here in the U.S.. Unless man wakes to fact that he's doing more harm than good, Earth will be a lonely place in a few decades..:(!)..trippy

In the cyber world I am a crime news junkie. I don't like talking politics and I don't like talking with liars. In the real world I am a lawyer that dislikes the practice of law because of the deceit in the profession. In my dream world I see myself living a pretty life, the kind that we all thought would be perfect. Thing is, I am having to put the stupid picket fence part of the dream in on my own.
