November 11, 2002 : Yay! Posting Again!


Hint: The Brazilian National Geographic website from whence this arresting image was borrowed tell us that these are females expressing, yep, indignation. And if you think they may be over-reacting, check out the male inside.

People have said these things about that :

Here he is. According to the Brazilians, with typical macho rationalising, he's only laying on the charm to please the ladies.

Shit! He's posting again!

Call the locksmith, Lupo!

Is this where they harvest those chattering novelty teeth from? damned poachers.

I'm afraid you're all doomed, Kaf. To login I had to delete all my cookies and now I can't get in anywhere except MeFi and here! Bwahahahaha!

Why did I ever listen to that stupid advice about changing my username and password for every single bloody website?

Meanwhile, "Miguel" is taken here, by the old me, and I have to labour under the faux-hip "The Miguel".

Posted by: Miguel on November 11, 2002 02:37 PM

It's not the teeth in those pictures that frighten me, it's the vast acres of uncovered gums.

Icky.

I was trying to figure out the creepiness factor and couldn't until just now. Not only are their big pink gums showing (they look pretty good in terms of dental health), but they almost seem to have no noses. That's what really gives me the willies. You can't see any nostrils which lends an other-worldly quality to them. They look like bad sci-fi characters...or like they're from "Hellraiser."

Your nose-spotting abilities are really coming along!

Also, these little bastards look a lot like Ookla The Mok.

They're Moks I tells ya!

big, pink, glistening gums.

The Brazilian approach to ethology (and captioning) is very different from standard National Geographese.

The scientific caption to the above photograph is:

"Cai fora, solteirão!"
O macho da família olha feio para um solteiro, avisando para deixar suas fêmeas em paz
.


"Piss off, Permanent Bachelor Guy!"
The male of the family gives a bachelor a dirty look, warning him to leave his females alone.

Posted by: Miguel on November 11, 2002 03:18 PM

Perhaps Lupo or Crash can make those eyes shine in the evil kitty way?

Posted by: Miguel on November 11, 2002 03:19 PM

I bet all the ladies dig permanent bachelor guy's stylish mullet.

Posted by: liam on November 11, 2002 03:37 PM

Yea, alright, it seems dumb now, but really all I could see were gums which were creepy enough on their own. I'm smart, no really, I am!

Mig:

I've deleted "Miguel" from the system. Now, you should be able to go in to "Edit Your Profile" and change your username from "The Miguel" to "Miguel".

Posted by: jpoulos on November 11, 2002 03:45 PM

I thought that first pic was a photo of the Thunderslut(tm)trio.
So which one is Witchstone?

Posted by: b****fire on November 11, 2002 03:46 PM

Hey! They look like people.

Posted by: jpoulos on November 11, 2002 03:48 PM

Them's some hot monkeys. Where can I get me some?

Posted by: eyeballkid on November 11, 2002 03:50 PM

Cheers, Lupo!

Posted by: Miguel on November 11, 2002 03:52 PM

So which one is Witchstone?

Obviously none of these three monkeys--they're smiling. I only give bachelor monkeys dirty looks.

Posted by: witchstone on November 11, 2002 04:25 PM

The first shot, with the three, whooweee, what you call them there breasts a dig-a-ma-jigs, lips.


Then that male, first glance thought it was a well made mask. Look at his eyes. Almost look human wtih them shut, like a person with a mask on, No? But truley scary, as far as those teeth go, which is far.........

Posted by: Thomcatspike on November 11, 2002 05:37 PM

Hey people - he asked for captions. Lessee, how about this one:

My God, we're ugly! Can't somebody please teach The Miguel how to use the "width" attribute to make our pictures smaller!

Wait, what was I going to say - oh yeah, now I remember. Does everyone know that our own Kafkadoodledoo is now a famous blogger? You didn't? Well, here's your chance to talk about it, because you can't leave comments on his crappy little site. Congrats, Kaf! May I be the first to welcome our (not so) new non-sequitur overlord!

Posted by: yhbc on November 11, 2002 06:22 PM

Sorry I can't read or narrow my view. Lets try it again. Aw, lets not and say I did.

Kaf, job well done and congrats being a Blogger Star.... this is true per the article, Even the writer's asides will help you crack a smile: )

Posted by: Thomcatspike on November 11, 2002 06:38 PM

Here's a humorous aside for you.

I was reading Kaf's adventure at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon when my eyes did that "hey, you're getting old" thing and misread a line, causing me to think Kaf was going to ride a burrito down the Bright Angel Trail.

Posted by: Crash on November 11, 2002 06:50 PM

Good lord. These pictures have to be the best ever posted to 9622. Right up there with the monkey on kottke's shoulder pic.

Posted by: adampsyche on November 11, 2002 06:54 PM

Shucks.

Thanks, guys. I guess this means I have to update occasionally now.

Posted by: kafkaesque on November 11, 2002 07:26 PM

Weird. I had some crazy double-post action going on on my blog. Typical. All the people who clicked the link from the article probably thought I was a goober.

Oh, wait. They would have thought that anyway.

Posted by: kafkaesque on November 11, 2002 07:54 PM

A very classy and erudite goober, though. Congrats, M. le Kafkaesque!

Posted by: tizzie on November 11, 2002 08:29 PM

I finally figured out what those monkey mouths remind me of - the critter in the Alien movies. Am I right?

Tizzie wins the toaster oven! (thanks, that was really freaking me out. So familiar, and yet so bizarre).

Posted by: readymade on November 11, 2002 08:49 PM

Toast! My favorite dish! I'm so happy now.

Posted by: tizzie on November 11, 2002 09:04 PM

Kaf's media attention is merely the first step. Soon he and Brittney will host a morning show. Miguel will be foreign correspondent. Crash Davis will be the crotchety Andy Rooney type dude. unclefes will do sports. Adampsyche will be the wacky weatherman.

Then there'll be the daily segment where dong_resin and yours truly will walk around a grocery or bodega. I'll offer pithy commentary on the products and dong will randomly stab people in the head.

Watch out , Neilsens.

oh, caption. right.

Posted by: whatnot on November 11, 2002 11:44 PM

Ok, totally creepy monkeys. Man, those pointy fangs... I just know they're going to make an appearance in my dream world tonight. *shudder*

Posted by: dejah420 on November 12, 2002 02:02 AM

Congratulations, kaf. As tcs so aptly suggested, your witty asides are not news to us.

Let's hope this place never gets press coverage. The only saving grace is that 99.9% of the people who would visit the site would be utterly confused (and possibly repulsed) and would never return.

Posted by: pardon me on November 12, 2002 09:17 AM

I'm totally with jonmc and Jello Biafra on this one: "Become the media!" Especially the "dong_resin attacking unsuspecting passer-bys" segment. That rules.

Posted by: tizzie on November 12, 2002 11:12 AM

Oh, they knew the risks.

Posted by: dong resin on November 12, 2002 11:28 AM

Sincere congrats, Kaf.
Such consistently funny writing deserves endless kudos.

Posted by: dong resin on November 12, 2002 11:30 AM

Mig, looking at these monkeyes, I have to say your wisdom exceeds yourself that you were able to get some terrific monkeys to roar with Kaf's success.

Posted by: Thomcatspike on November 12, 2002 12:59 PM

Death is easy. Comedy is hard. That's what I want on my tombstone. Or you can just write it on the box with magic marker.

The vast tracts of gum in these pictures are what disturb me the most. They're like the Red Skull of monkeys.

Posted by: octobersurprise on November 12, 2002 01:03 PM

Congratulations too, Kafkaesque!

For me the K-like genius in the sentence you posted:

Inexplicably, a Seattle Times reporter (who apparently has developed some ways that just aren't right) singled out My Life as an American Gladiator in her article "Where to Get Started in the World of Blogs"

is, of course: who apparently has developed some ways that just aren't right

It's the great syntax and grammar, married to an American directness and colloquial ease, that's brilliant. That and the unlikely fusion of a very English and very American senses of humo(u)r.

So there!

P.S. The reason Kaf doesn't allow comments is he doesn't want his beautiful blog fucked up by monkey howls. ;)
