Monkey love for your Monday

Is eight enough?

Congratulations to the Tennessee Lady Vols for winning their eighth NCAA women's basketball title! I'm not a huge fan of either the NCAA men's or women's game but if the Lady Vols make it into the tournament then I try to watch them play because who doesn't like to see giant beautiful brown skinned women play basketball and get all sweaty? Candace Parker is not only one of the best players ever to suit up at Tennessee, she's also one of the most beautiful. And she'll probably go #1 in today's WNBA draft. The lovely Nikki Anosike (pronounced ann-oh-sickee) is not only a great UT basketball player, she's also a great student as well. She's a triple major.

My condolences go out to the ladies of the Stanford Cardinal basketball team and especially to Candice Wiggins. Candice, if I wasn't in a relationship I'd fly to Tampa and hold you, console you, and whisper sweet nothings in your ear to help you get over this crushing defeat.

And just to show you I'm not partial, I'd do the same thing for Rosalyn Gold-Onwude.

In fact, if Sparky dumps me and any of you beautiful brown skinned giantesses need some loving after a loss, I'll be there for you, that goes for all four of you.

Happy Valentines Day and...

...happy birthday to math whiz, blog hottie, and commenter extraordinaire Freida Bee.

I wasn't going to post any more photos of Archie today...

...but then I saw this shot of her at the Mighty Heart premiere. Hubba hubba.

Okay, I admit it...

I've got a man crush on Luke Donald.

Let's all take a deep breath, calm down, and take a look at...

...this week's brunette o' the week!

This week's dark haired temptress is none other than Stirling Gallacher!

Who the hell is she?

Oh sorry, we thought everyone loved her as much as we do. Okay, then to bring you up to speed, she was in:

She played his boss. And did a damn fine job at it as well.

She's also in this:We're sure she's great in it but we don't watch it here at el casa de Monkey.

But we do watch this, and repeatedly we might add:

She plays the Prime Minister's wife in this great sketch comedy show, as well as doing the voice of Margret in one of our favorite recurring sketches of the series.

So lets all take a deep breath and enjoy la belle Stirling:

"You're too kind Dr. Monkerstein."

"Should I throw away my career in British television and film in order to be the love slave of Dr. Monkerstein?"

"Sadly, no, I must remain in Britain. I must content myself with loving him from afar."

Excuse me...

but I swear I thought I heard someone say they wanted to see a picture or two of Gina Bellman.

Oh really? It was just me? Oh, okay, sorry then.

I swear...

...that is not my hand.

And I also swear that Gina Bellman is the only reason, besides the great writing, to watch Coupling.

And furthermore, this is the last picture of her I will put on my blog today:

Ok, I lied, sue me.

You like me! You really like me!

Proof positive that the whole wide world loves us.

You know what?

We love you too.
