Inappropriate!

Ok.  So you can once again say that it is all in my sick twisted mind.  But really?  Do you want me to believe that I (and the rest of the Monkeys) are the only ones who immediately notice the location of that banana?  Why couldn't the gorilla just hold it?  Nope, it had to be sticking straight up from the area of his crotch.

I'm glad that the Magic Kingdom is taking safety seriously and not just letting every freak with huge ears fly around.  I mean, that would just be chaos. 




Happy Valentine's Day!  We will not think about the origins of this dubious holiday.  Instead we will look at this adorable elephant and think thoughts of love.




I have no idea why this exists.  Although I have to admit that I am glad it does.  I also have to admit that the bill, which looks like big lips to me, freaks me out a little bit.

A Parade of Elephants Review

A Parade of Elephants by Kevin Henkes


The title pretty much says it all. Five very colorful elephants parade around.


The illustrations are very cute.  And I like the bold colors.  It makes the book eye-catching and fun to look at.  The fact that the font is also big and bold and there are only a few words on each page make it easier for children to follow along and associate the way a word looks with the way it sounds.  And I have to admit I was surprised to find out that right before elephants go to sleep they blow stars out of their trunks all over the night sky.  I guess it's true, you learn something new every day.

Let's celebrate!  These guys must be Patriot fans.  Sorry rest of the planet but the Patriots win again.  And everyone in New England is going to make a lot of noise about it.  And get drunk, and start fights and...

Yet Another Place Way Better Than Wichit


So Bee Hee suggested that we try Figaro's for lunch.  I wasn't going to be able to be there but that's how the cookie crumbles.  I bet I had more fun doing what I was doing than the other Monkeys had eating sandwiches.  The problem was that no one even thought about taking pictures for me.  They all told me how great everything I missed was, but did they think about my blog and the post I was supposed to make for a new food place?  No.  So this is a second trip to Figaro's.
A variety of things were tried.  A couple of the steak and cheese sandwiches, a couple of the chicken sandwiches, and the meatball too.  Everyone agreed that they were all good sandwiches.  (I really liked the chipotle mayo on my Two-Timer.)  And my sandwich weighed in at a little over a pound.  It was very filling. 


 
It does not look like you can customize anything.  I mean, you can ask, but I'm not sure I would risk it.  You might be banned for ever.  And you wouldn't want that.  Because the food is really good.  I want to try the Italian but I might have to wait until I can get someone to split with me because it will be hard not to order the steak.

I do believe we will be going back.

It's a good thing that our friend here practices good hygiene but I'm a little unclear about what it is he is brushing since he seems to be lacking teeth of any kind.
