Thanks guys, but I'm not having a bad hoax day, I'm having a bad real life day. One of my horses is injured and at clinic. I am waiting for word on his prognosis from the vets. All is well with me in hoax land. Sorry to be off topic, just wanted to clear that up.

I'm sorry, when an animal very dear happens something or get sick, you feel as if the animal is a family member or a friend.

Lots of monkey references, but I'm still puzzled by 'kiwi'.

In china I believe they call Kiwi's Monkey Peaches.. and some other names...
There is a Ben and Jerrys Strawberry and Kiwi sorbet but that's not in the "chunky Monkey" range

Lots of monkey references, but I'm still puzzled by 'kiwi'.

Yeah... I am not sure what Front was hinting at with the kiwi... maybe we'll know one day. It's simmering.  :icon_lol:

Two Monkeys Scavenge Treasure from Human World!

"[Some treasures] were nowhere to be found."
By Sock Monkey - The Monkey Times

Two monkeys, Peanut Monkey and Kiwi Monkey, set off on a mission yesterday afternoon to find their favorite foods. The excursion occurs most every afternoon, but the pair admit that they usually return empty handed. The event occurred late yesterday evening, around 8pm, when the two monkeys were found asleep from exhaustion but laden with treasures. The secured items included one jar of Peter Pan peanut butter and three whole fruits: a banana, an orange, and a golden delicious apple. According to a statement by Kiwi Monkey, kiwi fruit was "nowhere to be found." The pair agreeably posed for portraits today with their conquests. They stated their hopes to lead many more monkeys into the human world to search for treasured treats (which, once consumed, must be replenished in supply). Peanut and Kiwi are hailed the land over as heroes for their fine work. They are expected to embark upon another expedition tomorrow afternoon

hmm it's almost 4am I think it's sleep.

Gnight!

[Dontwalkaway]

Remember the 3 keys.  There's also Paris' movie "Lunden's Bridge and the Three Keys".
Maybe this is all connected somehow.  What about the Olympics is London ?  What about the bridge in London ?  hmmmm.... I don't really know....... just thinking.

There are other things with Monkeys like the 100th Monkey Theory, and there are also several religions that use a monkey statue.  Elvis and Michael also had monkey figures, statues, pet monkeys.    I'm not sure what all of it means ????  I just started a new job so I haven't had too much free time these last few weeks but I will look it up when I get a chance.  I have a feeling it's part of an important message.

Love You All

DWA, congrats on the new job, and best success to you!

OK, family, here is  come  Monkey King -  most beloved and popular character from Chinese ancient legend and believed to be one of the incarnations of Buddha Amidha,
He is  warrior king(among few others Safe-keepers on Heaven) and known for his gracious and distracting  dancing fighting technique. That fighting tools often called "Drank Monk" and  to these days appeared to be  most excellent and difficult to learn way of battleship. Personality and psyche of Monkey King is   blessed on  very special way  in order to perform that art of fighting, including (but not limited ;) -  spontaneity, childlike spirit, quick feet, generous and sensitive heart  and shrewd and cunning mind . From negative side he can be boastful and unreliable.
He is also major Jokerster and troublemaker in Heavenly kingdom
Personally, I remember that character from adaptation in anime series- more than 15 years ago and falling in love with that legend.

Below I will post some quoting of my brief net research and Many of them come out so MJ fitting by  the spirit of that character.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Wukong

Sun Wukong depicted in Yoshitoshi's One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, 1889.

Sun Wukong (simplified Chinese: 孙悟空; traditional Chinese: 孫悟空; pinyin:Sūn Wùkōng), also known as the Monkey King, is a main character in the classical Chinese epic novel Journey to the West (Chinese: 西遊記; pinyin:Xīyóujì) written by Wu Cheng'en. In the novel, he is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, he later accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to retrieveBuddhist sutras from India.

Sun Wukong possesses an immense amount of strength; he is able to lift his 13,500 jīn (8,100 kg or 17,881 lbs) staff with ease. He is also superbly fast, able to travel 108,000 li (54,000 kilometers or 33,554 mi) in one somersault. Sun knows 72 transformations, which allows him to transform into various animals and objects; he has trouble, however, transforming into other people, because he is unable to complete the transformation of his tail. He is a skilled fighter, capable of holding his own against the best generals of heaven. Each of his hairs possesses magical properties, and is capable of transforming either into a clone of the Monkey King himself, or various weapons, animals, and other objects. He also knows spells that can command wind, part water, conjure protective circles against demons, and freeze humans, demons, and gods alike.[1]

-->> interpretation on some of his name is also very interesting to read:

Names and titles
Sun Wukong (孫悟空) is known/pronounced as Suen Ng Hung in Cantonese, Son Oh Gong in Korean, Tôn Ngộ Không inVietnamese, Son Gokū in Japanese, Sun Go Kong in Indonesian, and Sun' Ukun in Russian.

Painted mural depicting Sun Wukong (in yellow) and other main characters of the novel
Listed in the order that they were acquired:

Shí Hóu (石猴)
Meaning the "Stone monkey". This refers to his physical essence, being born from a sphere of rock after millennia of incubation on the Bloom Mountains/Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Měi Hóuwáng (美猴王)
Meaning "Handsome Monkey-King", or Houwang for short. The adjective Měi means "beautiful, handsome, pretty"; it also means "to be pleased with oneself", referring to his ego. Hóu ("monkey") also highlights his "naughty and impish" character.
Sūn Wùkōng (孫悟空)
The name given to him by his first master, Patriarch Bodhi (Subodhi). The surname Sūn was given as an in-joke about the monkey, as monkeys are also called húsūn (猢猻), and can mean either a literal or a figurative "monkey" (or "macaque"). The surname sūn (孫) and the "monkey" sūn (猻) only differ in that the latter carries an extra "dog" (quǎn)radical to highlight that 猻 refers to an animal. The given name Wùkōng means "awakened to emptiness".

Next references came from Video-games land. That venue believed to be one of the  most effective tool for programming and re-programming peoples mind. Among them=    2GAMES - logo contained image of monkey head and interesting to read its description for the game

HoN Hero Spotlight: Monkey King

The Monkey King excels at close-range combat, "comboing" his abilities in quick succession to keep an opponent disoriented and disabled. In order to truly optimize his early/mid game damage output and mobility, he requires a sizeable mana pool to frequently use his abilities. Buying a Bottle or Blood Chalice
will help to ensure he will always have mana for the early game.

even more  widely known is  LEAGUE OF LEGEND  community --  300 mln users! scarry and exciting , Im sure MJ have the best idea how to use it in most Positive ans Effective Efficient way.

Storyline
Sun Wukong, (The Monkey King) is a monkey born from a heavenly stone who acquires supernatural powers. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain for 500 years, he later accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to India. Thus, according to legend, Buddhism is brought to ancient China. This much beloved story, is as much a part of Asian culture as The Iliad and The Odyssey or The Wizard of Oz are to the West. This first installment in a trilogy of live action 3-D movies is actually a prequel to The Journey To The West, the much told story of the Monkey King's adventures on the road to India. The Monkey King: Havoc In The Heavenly Palace will be released in the U.S. as The Monkey King. The first movie is the origins story - beginning with the birth of Sun Wukong and ending with his imprisonment for his crimes under the Five-Peaked Mountain. Along the way he acquires incredible powers...
