There's good news in the monkey world today - "French rapper" (and isn't that a contradiction in terms?) Joey Starr was convicted of assault on his pet monkey. The court only fined him $9,100, though. They shoulda thrown the bum in the slammer, just for being French.

Posted by: pikachu lolita on May 30, 2002 12:18 PMWe had to listen to a lot of French pop in high school. One tune in particular was like an icepick in the cerebellum: "Partenaire Particulaire" or something.
Les Jeux Sont Faits was more uplifting.

I pointed at the purse, and he explained "It's to keep my eggs in."
I left it at that.

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
