There's no swag like monkey swag

My gal of the north country Whiskeymarie sent me this bit o' swag:
That's right, it says, "Dr. Monkey, MD" on it. Since I'm not one of those geeks who leave stuff in the original package in the hopes that it will go up in value, I took my new little guy out and let him roam a bit.
First, he jumped up on the tea shelf in the kitchen.
Then he jumped down into a bowl of chili peppers. He got really really hot in there so next he jumped into the fridge:
After cooling down he felt like he needed to be around some of his own kind so he ran into the living room and he started a conversation with this day of the dead monkey that my friend Keith got me.
The good doctor could not bridge the language barrier though, he's vowed to learn Spanish later as a result of this brief meeting. But finally he found a troop of monkeys he could hang with:
He says he feels right at home now.

Thanks for sending him to me Whiskeymarie, you rock!

I feel like I've been on Dr. Monkey's journey, you reported it so faithfully.
That said however, I am disturbed by the image of Doc holding up one red paddle next to a giant timer set to Zero. It conjures an image of a failed attempt to shock someone I love back to life. The look on his face dramatically foreshadows bad news.
But then again, perhaps that's just me.

Yay! I'm glad he made it! He was totally bitching about having to travel coach, but it looks like this fabulous welcome to his new home helped ease his jet lag.

Monkey!

that has to be one worn out doctor monkey - having made the grand tour of the premises. I think that is really so cool!

WHAT THE HELL? You can get people to send you stuff? So if I called myself Dr Action Figure or Dr Donut then the swag would come rolling in. Hmmmm means I have to change all the place mats and business cards to the Cave of Cool but it might be worth it. Dr. Stripper it is.

Forget Pulp Friction, the new name for my blog will be Karen Gift Certificate.

So the skateboarding vampire monkey can attack people and the doctor monkey can treat them? It's like that movie Twilight or something!
