How Having A Pet Monkey Resulted In Us Not Going To the Cinema

Yesterday I was bored during my lunch break so I decided to be clever and multi task by going on Youtube while simultaneously shoving my face with a steak and cheese Subway foot-long sandwich (yes I ate the whole thing, not sure how but I did – go me!) when I found this video below which almost made me choke on a small piece of dried steak because it’s this sort of retarded thing that makes me laugh like an idiot:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn-s_0t1eso?fs=1]

Oh how I love silly animal videos and it’s when I watch things like this that I wish I had a camera with me when I was younger because I used to spend a lot of time with my pets, and because pets have a mind of their own you never really know what they might get up to, like when I used to live in Portugal and my dad bought me a pet monkey called Chico. If I had a camera then I would have so many good videos and in particular a very exciting one involving Chico throwing his excrement in my friend’s face…

Chico was one cool dude.

He was jovial and always in a playful mood. He liked looking for things in my hair, sharing all of my food with me, and sometimes he would try to play with my bra strap and then pull my underwear if he got a chance.

But don’t be fooled, there was one thing that could turn him from a cuddly ape into a ravaging lunatic:

It would enrage him so much that his eyeballs would pop out and his tongue would wiggle, his soft grunts turning into high pitched screams!
And this hulk like transformation would take place if someone hit me, well no one would actually hit me, but if they pretended to hit me, he would get so upset that he would scream. Yes, I think he secretly fancied me and thought that he was my protective furry husband, awww.
So when I had my friend’s over, they enjoyed pretend hitting me so we could have a giggle at watching Chico scream. Is this a form of animal abuse? Oh god I hope not because we did it over and over again.
Then there was my 12th birthday party and I had some friends over. We had been playing outside all day and were all dusty and grassy so we had showers and got dressed up to go to an evening of cinema.
Before we headed off one of my friends wanted to see Chico scream on last time because she didn’t know when she would get to see him again. I wasn’t really wanting to do it again as we had spent most of the morning doing it but she persuaded me:
But, this time he’d had enough. He would no longer resort to just screaming…

And that is how there was no going to the cinema because we had to wash all the poop out of my friend’s mouth and hair.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

I so should have gotten a pig for Chico!

    Koutsounimou: Yes :) I will try and find some photos of him to put up, he also had a very big willy lol

    B4MME: ha ha, he also had huge nipples for some reason! Maybe he was a tranny monkey?

    Catherine: Poooey :) poor girl though she was a bit traumatised after that…

    I heart you Marsy! Your cartoons and stories and just fabulous! I'm jelous you had a pet monkey with such a cool name too :)

    Ha ha that's a funny video, I love the bit when the cat and dog stare eachother out for a moment. Awesome post Marsy! I feel for your friend though, bet she never wants to see a monkey again ;)

    Lol, that's the cutest video ever. And as for your pet monkey stories, I think Freud might have some things to say about that. ;) Gosh, I'm almost traumatized by the idea of a monkey with a big willy and nipples right now, because they forced us to watch a video of chimps getting it on in an evolution class. :)

    As always, love your cartoons, wherever do you get the inspiration for such awesome ideas?! :)

    You totally should have just gone to a later showing.

    Also, maybe if you smelled like poop, people would leave and you'd have the entire theater to yourselves! You should probably always cover yourself in poop from now on ;)

    hahahahaha I want a monkey like Chico to throw poop at some of my friends, too!!

  • November 22, 2010 - 2:39 am | Permalink

    Chico teaches us a valuable lesson about life, actually. When things get so overwhelming that we don't know what else to do, start throwing poop at everything in sight. It's cathartic.

    This post made me laugh. Thanks, Marsy.

    Poop throwing would come in really handy when I'm pissed at my husband. Does the monkey do home-visits?

    A monkey is a very cool pet. Does sound like he had a bad case of monkey love for you

    Love it. The video AND the comic. Especially your comic. :)

    What a good furry husband. I wish my husband would throw excrement on people for me. My husband is not furry and is lame for not throwing his poop for me.

    Philosophia: That is hilarious they made you watch that in class! I bet everyone was sniggering. Most of my ideas come from real events that happen, some say I live a very 'bizarro' life :)

    Chunky Knubby Navel: If only I had thought of that then, having a whole cinema to ourselves would have ruled! But not sure how we would have eaten popcorn with the aroma of monkey doo-doo in the air.

    LaceyRee: It's definitely very effective if you want to get your point across!

    Kitty You are right! Maybe that's why we shout 's***' when we are angry or confused lol – it's a way of verbally throwing poop around.

    Sandra: Yes! Call him on: 0800-CHICO-POOPEY

    Mynx tee hee, he was a cutie too! I need to dig out some photos!

    Levi Krause: Thanks! And glad you like my comic more than the video :p

    twelvedaysold hahahahaaaha

    I love Chico. I've always wanted a pet monkey, but I've had to settle for the stuffed toy kind!

  • November 26, 2010 - 2:24 pm | Permalink

    Deborah: Ha ha! Now I also have a stuffed one, who is all soft and I can cuddle him in bed :) Had I done that with Chico he would have gotten he wrong idea!

    "Baby monkey, baby monkey, riding on a pig baby monkey" – this should so be on the radio!

    Rather than filming baboons, one should film
    humans from the inside of a monkey cage.Only then can one understand what a monkey has to endure from 'homo sapiens'. They will pull the most incredible horrible faces, sticking their tongues out, pulling their ears and making bizarre sounds. No wonder shit is going to hit monkey fans.

    Didnt he also have a thing for people's hair (checking for lice?). This is how you'd do it, give him some peanuts, approach the cage slowly, lean your head against the cage and voila; you'd get an interesting head massage by ten little fingers that would pick at imaginary lice, which he would happily "eat".

    However, the head massage could quickly turn ugly if you were unfortunate enough to: 1) have blonde hair (he would NOT let go) 2) didnt feed him enough peanuts (payback time, biatch).

    CretsGalore: I know huh! But I like it even more for that reason.

    Anonymous 1: Thanks :)

    Hago: That's probably why I liked watching Big Brother so much!

    Anonymous 2: Tee hee I remember that Chico didn't like blonde hair, he was anti Arian!

    Oh, Marsy, you brighten my day yet again!! Whatever happened to Chico? And did your friend ever come over again?

  • December 1, 2010 - 9:04 pm | Permalink

    Love your site. I appreciate people with humor and creative talent. Have you seen the clip of Christain the Lion and his reunion with his owners? Precious! (You can find it on Youtube) Animals are the BEST!

    You. Are. Amazing.

    That baby monkey song is going to be on repeat in my head all night

  • December 2, 2010 - 10:35 pm | Permalink

    Inky: Chico was a bachelor for about 2 years, then my dad thought it would be a good idea to get him a girlfriend. She arrived and we were full of hope and promise of having little baby Chico's that we even named her Chica :) But she turned out to a bad, bad girl! She ate all his food and constantly ignored him (typical, lol). Subsequently Chico lost a lot of weight so we had to take Chica away (by giving her to the Lisbon Zoo). Although Chico did eventually gain some weight back, he became lonely without her and then got depressed, awwww so we also had to do what was best and gave him to the zoo.

    There is a happy ending mind you! I have heard Chico is enjoying himself now and has many girlfriends. And still likes to throw his poo poo around too!

    Sarah: Hello :) I have not seen this clip but will see it now! Thank you for your lovely words, they made me feel all fuzzy inside.

    Asha: Baby monkey! Baby monkey!
    Hugs to you Asha xx
