A recent study says that some orangutan parents teach their offspring to use leaves as napkins. Others say good night with a spluttering, juicy raspberry. And still others get water from a hole by dipping a branch and then licking the leaves.
So, some large monkeys have culture, and yet, I can't go to the grocery store without seeing heathen children, much less a child with table manners in a public place? Sigh.

What you talkin' about, lady?
Posted by: jonmc on January 4, 2003 10:49 PMI honestly think that if that orangutan had raised me, I'd be more emotionally balanced. But I'd have this weird "tree ants on pasta" thing that might cause another set of problems.
Posted by: tizzie on January 4, 2003 11:30 PMMeaning: "Tree ants good" or "Tree ants bad?" Because if it's tree ants=good, I think you've won half the battle.
Posted by: readymade on January 4, 2003 11:34 PMDoh! Gang, I just now saw that the Blue had this on their front page too. (Saw the story, thought of you guys, hadn't been to Mefi in a couple of days...) Sorry.
Posted by: dejah420 on January 5, 2003 01:33 AMI think you've won half the battle.
And knowing's the other half.
Who's going to the meetup on Friday? Can we get a rollcall here of monkeys who will venture out in the concrete jungle? I'll be there, as well as dogmatic (who is in my hometown of Detroit, covering the auto show for his work) and possibly aw.
Posted by: adampsyche on January 5, 2003 08:33 AMThis weekend has been interesting at Chez Tizzie. Friday afternoon we had another hard-luck "I have to move and can't take my dog, what do I do?" story, and ... we have dog #5.
I'm just a girl who can't say no.
They're figuring out the pecking order, but he's starting to enjoy playing with the pack.
Posted by: tizzie on January 5, 2003 11:13 AM
Aw used to have a mullet, right when we first started dating (don't deny it). I think that's how she won me over.
Posted by: adampsyche on January 5, 2003 11:13 AMHaving nothing to do with anything, Eyeballk!d sends out the sort of CDs I'd send out, if I were better at that sort of thing. Just had to say so.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 5, 2003 11:53 AMSpeaking of dogs and animals teaching their young ones. Bears are part of the Dog family. The only thing more helpless than a baby is a bear cub even after 4 years of being raised by their mom. If seperated from mom, they will starve to death.
Posted by: Thomcatspike on January 5, 2003 03:52 PMWhen I say seperated, as in getting lost from mom.
Posted by: Thomcatspike on January 5, 2003 03:53 PMSpeaking of wandering off and getting lost...
Has anyone heard from our friend the wonderchicken? I hope his trip went well/ is going well.
And Kafkaesque. ColdChef, did you lose him somewhere? It was your turn to watch him.
And Miguel! Hopefully the movers did not misplace his new mac.
We need to have a roll call.

Posted by: yhbc on January 5, 2003 10:09 PMdejah, (being jealous of the NYCers here) if and when you feel up to going to one of the DFWblogs cocktail hours, be sure and let me know so I can make sure to be there. I go to about every other one as it is, but, you know, just to be sure.
And jonmc, re: your first post here (I can't select text and copy it, dammit!) I feel for the pipster.
Posted by: ufez on January 5, 2003 10:33 PMHey, when are we going to have one of these throwdowns in Motown? Adam's from here. Me and the Mighty Tay-Hota are here. I remember others saying they were Detroit-based. We have casinos now and stuff. We are also the only major North American city to have actual ruins. We usually just call them abandoned buildings though.
Posted by: Mars Crash on January 5, 2003 11:08 PMWe are also the only major North American city to have actual ruins
You've never been to Bridgeport, have you MarsCrash? This is a city where the ex-mayor was shot and wounded leaving church.
Posted by: jonmc on January 5, 2003 11:32 PMspeaking of Bridgeport, jon, I was talking to some old High School friends who now live in New Haven if it was close to Bridgeport (due to your current location). My friend Jeromy laughed and asked me how I knew of Bridgeport. I couldn't really explain, so i just said something like "I don't know, something I read on the web" which isn't entirely untrue. To add to your point, he didn't describe Bridgeport in the kindest terms.
Posted by: ufez on January 5, 2003 11:43 PMWell, New Haven's no picnic either. But Bridgeport ain't so bad, it's got it's dumpy kinda charm. I've never been to Texas or Oklahoma so I can't give you any comparison.
But I have seen far worse places...Opa-Locka, Florida, Brunswick, Georgia, East St. Louis Illinois, Waterbury, CT, Chicopee, Mass...in those towns if you die with less than 6 bullets in you the coroner just calls it "natural causes."
Posted by: jonmc on January 5, 2003 11:55 PMThe only one of those that I've been to is East St. Louis (twice, it's easy when you're downtown on a highway to get on the MLK bridge and find youself on the Illinois side, as I'm sure UncleFes will agree with me). But Tulsa and Dallas have their bad side. And Waco was majority bad side, so it's not like I've not been around. I lived the first six or seven years of my life in the shitty part of Tulsa, which, while it's no Compton or anything (which i've also driven around in) is bad enough within itself. I just wanted to toss a third hand account of Bridgeport into the monkey land.
Posted by: ufez on January 6, 2003 12:21 AM"...some large monkeys have culture, and yet, I can't go to the grocery store without seeing heathen children, much less a child with table manners in a public place..."
My kids display almost neurotically-perfect etiquette in public, yet at home, I'm lucky to get them to use utensils. What the fuck is up with that?
Posted by: Crash on January 6, 2003 12:57 AMCompton or anything (which i've also driven around in)
Hey watch it my grandmother grew up there, it use to be a rich berb of LA, use to :P
Not doubting your worldliness, ufez, my man. The story about the ex-mayor was just too good to resist.
While I was born in Bridgeport, my family moved just outside into a nearby middle-class burb when I was little. Since moving out, I've lived back in the Park City for the last 8 years.
Actually, according to my freind Pedro, the absolute worst town in the universe is Pahokee, Florida. My old man, a traveling sales rep for much of his life always mentioned Woonsocket, RI among the dumps of the world. Who knows which takes the prize?

Posted by: tizzie on January 6, 2003 10:46 AMtizzie, here where I live, people can't have five dogs-I think the limit is three unless there is some kind of permit. The sad thing is that so many military families have pets,then get transferred somewhere and cannot bring them along.You don't wanna know what happens to a lot of them.
And dogs and cats are taxed too.
Oh, don't forget-you still can't slaughter goats in Sanford.

Posted by: adampsyche on January 6, 2003 11:11 AMUfez, I think I'm shooting to hit the dfwblogs get together in March. I figure I should be capable of leaving the house without the baby (and not panicking) by then. ;) Also, I hope I can fit into my jeans by then...which would be nice.
Bunny, we have some strange pet limit here as well, I didn't realize that I was breaking it until someone told me that we weren't supposed to have more than 3 domestic critters. At the time, I had 4 cats and a dog...one of my kitties passed away at the ripe old age of 20 not too long ago. But, I figure, the cats are all inside critters, so who'll know that I have too many. ;)
Posted by: dejah420 on January 6, 2003 11:16 AMI keep hoping to get thrown in the hoosegow so I can be in one of those "women in prison" scenes.
Posted by: tizzie on January 6, 2003 12:05 PMUm, w/r/t adampsyche's query, I will prolly be there. maybe. I had to lie to my SO that our 3rd anniversary wasn't the 10th, it's the 11th* in order to tentatively go to this shindig.
Thus my conscience may keep me from attending.
*Though I still believe that the actual anniversary date is more like the 5th or the 6th. Whatever. We were drunk those first few blissful months.

I had hoped to make the trip to NYC for the next Mefi Meetup, but the fates (read: my employers) are fucking with me again, and I can't go. When is someone going to set up a little WiFi videoconference at one of these things? We're supposed to be geeks, after all.

Are any of you guys in Chicago, btw?
Posted by: kafkaesque, esq. on January 6, 2003 04:00 PMI just saw that house on a PBS special about Huey Long two days ago. Of course, being a tree guy, I was trying to figure out whether those were oaks or old magnolias and I never even noticed the house.
I might be up for a trip to Chicago. Both TJ and I are on hiatus for a while and this place is becoming a den of sloth.
Posted by: Mars Crash on January 6, 2003 04:16 PMHow come nobody ever visits towns in Kentucky for vacation?

My jaw is still sore.

This is gonna be tough.
Posted by: yhbc on January 6, 2003 11:26 PMCouldn't help it. Ever since we saw "The Two Towers", the wife has been walking around the house (okay, skulking around the house) talking like Gollum.

Scary stuff, yo.
Posted by: ColdChef on January 6, 2003 11:32 PMIf she gets a sickly pallor, her hair thins and she starts wearing a loin-cloth, you'd better worry. But for now, it's just a ring, right?

William Shatner: Uh... Episode 25?
Charlie: Yeah!
William Shatner: Um... you gotta give me a PLOT, see, cause it's 20 years and it's a long time... a PLOT... uh....
Charlie: Yeah, Episode 25, that's where you and the crew of the Enterprise get attacked by these spores? And started acting real weird, like hippies and stuff?
William Shatner: [ smiling ] Oh oh, yeah right, I remember, okay uh... what's the question?
Charlie: Well um, I was wondering if you could settle a bet for me and my friends, okay? Um, like, when you... um, left your quarters for the last time? And you opened up your safe? Um... what was the combination?
Witchstone, you should see Galaxy Quest. It was a lot like that - the Thermians are hilarious, and I love Tony Shaloub.
Of course I saw it. Sheesh. And I loved Alan Rickman in it.

You're all very cool, in fact.
Posted by: dong_resin on January 7, 2003 01:45 PMheh -- witchstone, you forgot the part in that skit where Shatner looks at Jon Lovitz (who, iirc, was wearing pointy "vulcan ears"), and says: "You! You must be 30 years old. Have you ever even kissed a girl?" (whereupon Lovitz looks sheepishly at the ground). "I didn't think so." Classic.
Posted by: pardon me on January 7, 2003 01:52 PMJesus, people! I didn't forget anything! I just chose to do the "Episode 25" part. Not the "You've never kissed a girl" part.

Posted by: kafkaesque on January 9, 2003 12:29 PMA note about posting images:
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
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
