Frozen Prehistoric Purple Dancing Monkeys Wearing Skins that are Orange

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

It’s come to my attention that, while you’ve been enjoying seeing dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, you’ve been scratching your heads over last Wednesday’s appearance of prehistoric purple monkeys wearing skins that are orange.

You’ve wondered, How can that be? Did we send a camera into the past to take video of these prehistoric purple dancing monkeys? And, many of you have wondered, Can I borrow that time machine?

Well, sorry to say, but the time machine is not available for rent. Sorry. But, at any rate, to answer your question, no, we did not send a camera into the past to capture these prehistoric dancing monkeys on film.

What happened was that they were found in some of the polar regions where the ice wasn’t melting. Some intrepid explorers were studying the ice, when they came upon this pair of perfectly preserved prehistoric purple dancing monkeys, still wearing their skins that are orange.

Carefully, this pair was thawed out. Scientists wanted to study these early dancing monkeys, but were surprised when they became reanimated when they thawed out!

This was a chance for everyone to see the natural behavior of these prehistoric purple monkeys. And, the first chance they got, the very moment their little fingers and toes completely thawed out, they began to do what dancing monkeys do: dance!

They danced well into the night!

At any rate, it appeared all these monkeys wanted to do was dance, so the scientists grew frustrated as they expected these prehistoric monkeys to exhibit other behaviors, but all these monkeys wanted to do was perform.

So, they were shipped out to us, where we keep them with all the other dancing monkeys. We offered them a change of clothes, but they don’t seem interested and never stop dancing long enough to even change into something else.

Below is an image of the prehistoric purple dancing monkeys while they were still frozen in the ice.

You can see that they must have been frozen in the midst of their dance routine—a routine they immediately resumed upon thawing out.

Keep on dancing, unfrozen prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange. The dance never stops. Pauses, maybe, but never stops. Dance on!

Surprise! I bet you never expected to see space dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange today!

You did?

However did you know?

At any rate, the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange felt they had to take their act to the next level.

Only that level was really, really, really high up.

Anyway, perhaps with some help from the alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, the dancing monkeys managed to get themselves beamed or flown into outer space where they could do their thing.

Who doesn’t love a space monkey? Especially a space monkey that’s dancing? And wearing an orange shirt. I mean, c’mon! Does it get any better than this?

While you ponder that, enjoy yourself some space dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

The dancing monkeys wearing shirts of orange are immensely popular. Each and every day, as many as two or three people come here to check them out.

You can imagine the traffic surge that has created, so, if you experience any slow-loading times, it’s those half-handful of people clogging things up. So, just wait a minute and try again.

Anyway, I know you were wondering how I could top the prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange, but then I did top those with the vintage purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

And one or two of those fans squealed with delight.

Now, I know you’re wondering how I could possibly top any of those. Well, to do that, I had to go far out. Like really far out.

Or maybe not so far out, depending upon whether you think we’re regularly visited by space monkeys from another planet, but that’s another post. Possibly tomorrow’s. Or not. Because that would ruin the surprise if it were. Unless it’s not. You’ll just have to wait.

Anyway, so this time around, we have some alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

I know, you’re thinking it just can’t get any better than this. But, you should also know by now that it can and probably will.

Now, go enjoy yourself some alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange!

Vintage Purple Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Due to the continuing popularity of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, here today is yet another installment.

Since yesterday’s prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange proved to be so popular, I figured we’d continue the “looking to the past” theme.

Remember, we had those retro dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange? Those were popular too. The videos have gotten over 30 views! And, probably only half of them were me checking the count, so those are some popular dancing monkeys! They have like maybe a little more than a dozen fans.

That’s more people than read this blog!

And you wondered why I was doing so many dancing monkeys posts lately!

Anyway, for today’s installment, enjoy yourself some vintage purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

That’s right: vintage. You can see how the clip has gotten discolored with age. That’s what makes it vintage.

Awesome, right?

I know that you just can’t get enough of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

And, of course, you loved the purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

You also enjoyed the retro dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

So, how could we possibly top those?

How about if we combine them? Purple dancing monkeys + clothes that are orange + retro.

Heck, forget retro. We’ll go vintage. That’ll make it even more awesome.

And, you want even more awesomeness, right?

Silly question. Of course you do.

Purple dancing monkeys + clothes that are orange + vintage = Even More Awesome.

So, here you go. Enjoy yourself some prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange.

Dancing Monkeys Baring Shirts that are Orange

It’s Monday and I’m afraid the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are getting a little out of hand.

Again.

You know, you just can’t control these dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. They’re like wild animals or something.

After yesterday’s episode, where we saw dancing monkeys wearing skirts that are orange and the boy monkey being none too happy about it, the girl monkey agreed to do whatever the boy monkey suggested for today.

The boy monkey chose to bare shirts that are orange.

Yes, they means stripping off their shirts.

The very thought made the boy monkey happy with a big smile on his face. Even happier was he when the girl monkey agreed without any hesitation.

Poor boy monkey. He didn’t realize he’d been had.

I know that you just can’t get enough of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Yesterday, however, we had a change of pace as the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange didn’t wear their orange shirts. Instead, they wore orange shorts, so we had dancing monkeys wearing shorts that are orange.

Before that, we had purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are pink for Valentine’s Day.

But, the brown monkeys like the orange. They say it reminds them of bananas.

Yes, I know bananas are yellow. Do you want to argue with a monkey? They start throwing things–filthy things–when they get upset.

So, we’ll just accept that orange reminds them of bananas.

So, sticking with the orange theme, this time the monkeys voted to wear skirts that are orange. Actually, there was one vote for and one against, but somehow the girl monkey’s vote counted for more. Sometimes, democracy isn’t perfect.

Anyway, enjoy yourself some dancing monkeys wearing skirts that are orange.

Today is the eighth day of dancing monkeys, which started with dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Then, we moved on to purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. That was awesome.

For Valentine’s Day, we had purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are pink with little hearts on them. Which was legen–wait for it–dary.

Next, there were retro dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

And, when you thought it just could not possibly get any better than that, then along came the purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and suits that are blue.

After that, the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange took the day off.

We later found out they did indeed spend their off day drinking but still dancing, leading up to the images of the drunken dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

It disturbed JD that the boy monkey didn’t have any pants on–like Donald Duck, you know?–so that led to the censored drunken dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Today, however, the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange have gotten over their hangovers and are back to dancing. They had a change of clothes (their orange shirts are being laundered), and now we have the dancing monkeys wearing shorts that are orange.

Enjoy!

Censored Drunken Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange

Yesterday, I revealed that the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange had gotten a little drunk on their day off.

So, their performance was still off.

Sadly, their performance is still off today. I think they may have spent their off-hours doing some drinking.

Yes, sometimes dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange can get themselves into trouble.

Anyway, JD found something disturbing about the whole affair.

Which is odd, considering…

Anyway, since JD recently returned home from a few days in the hospital, we don’t want to disturb her recovery.

Too much.

So, today, you’ll still get to see some dancing monkeys, but, for JD’s sake, you’ll have to settle for censored drunken dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange (a.k.a. CDDMWSTAO) and doing their thing. Enjoy!

As you know, yesterday the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange took the day off.

Unfortunately, they had a little too much fun on their day off.

Silly, silly monkeys.

They got more than a little drunk and disorderly. Yes, the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange got a little, um, wasted.

So, you’ll have to forgive them if their performance is a little off today…
