And then, of course, there are sea monkeys....

I remember these from ads in DC Comics!

You know, I couldn't figure which side on that video was chanting "Resmed" (or was that NR?) and which was chanting "Respironics" (A10?)...

Uhhh ... so are you going to have the sex-change operation that Babs is planning to get too?
Nope. I was hoping to have sea change: If I lost my avatar maybe I'd loose my typos, but that's on another thread - so let's not go there....

I refuse to change my Avatar to a Monkey. I'm saving up for that major sex-change operation so I can be a 6'2" 150 lb male Swedish Swimsuit Model.

LOL,

Now we know the rest of the story!!! and I ain't tellin' nobody this one!!

This post should be a warning to newbies as to what happens after you've been on CPAP for a while...or is those bananas we eat to improve our sleep?

As a kid I had both fresh water and salt water aquariums...the salt water aquariums had sea horses and starfish among other things.

But I got some sea monkeys too!

I think some of us are really spaced out by all this monkeying around !

Time to end it I'd say

dsm,
that new avatar certainly lends authority to your other thread:

Ozij yup

I see you found my original portrait - posed for it at Cape Kennedy just before they launched my Banana IV Gemini rocket.


Now re that other thread, I was saving this pic for Koppy back in that thread but will post it here ...

Image

Also wanted to show an update of the great grandkids I mentioned 2 months back ...

Image


But there was one other pic of a relative (from another country) that really amused me ...

Oh dsm. I was hoping that the banana references would finally tapir off, but you've gone and started it again. Just to upset me.

And I thought this was a serious forum.

Good point.

Let's not forget the less fortunate...

Y'know, newcomers may have a question or two about the dress code around here...

The Bible tells us that in six days God made the heavens and Earth and all that dwells therein and on the seventh day He rested.
Most of the world’s scholars (biblical and others) agree that Man (man and woman) was God’s highest and best creation.

The chimpanzee is the smartest animal,ahead of the dolphin,the elephant and the pig.
I kept looking for MAN on this scale.
Recent events on Wall Street and elsewhere have taken their toll.
–MAN did not even make the TOP TEN.

A more civilized primate endeavor:

More like smart brain! When I glanced at that avatar I thought it was a genetic hybrid between a sumo wrestler and a muffin. Perhaps some kind of muscularly-encumbered stud muffin so to speak...

But, indeed, it's a simian tail, exactly as you pointed out---and not a sumo wrestler's queue!

I had thought that the orangutan was my favorite primate but now I see that only baby orangutans are my favorite...I'm not so impressed by the grownups (see 5aces post above)
