MISSING: BIG INFLATED PIG

ALERT! It appears that someone has lost an inflatable pig! The pig was lost at a concert Roger Waters was doing and is very large. In fact it was two stories tall! It may be fearful for its inflated life so be careful when approaching it! Don't get under it if it happens to be flying (yes pigs can fly!)

The pig was let loose during a concert song appropriately called "Pigs" and somehow it had graffiti all over it about peace not war and also supported that guy running for president, Obama.

The cool part of this story is if you find the pig's whereabouts there's a $10,000 reward and four tickets to Coachella for life. (What is Coachella?)

Email lostpig@coachella.com if you have any info regarding the missing pig!

Everyone loves SPAM....right??!

No not the mystery meat SPAM, I mean all the funny, crazy and creative emails we all get on a daily basis, SPAM.... Some of you may get enough SPAM to cause acid reflux disease so you know what this can be like! Today I checked out lots of these emails I got all because they love me and want to give this crazy monkey free, cool stuff...

Here's some of my favorite SPAMS from today:

- u-Scoot: Your Scooter Store
- sweet mm Cutie expect truck detail?
- Lose Weight with ColonAid and Green Tea
- Ped egg - Now you can have clean smooth feet
- Permanently engrave anything you own!
- We are giving away HDTV's!
- Learn to live in dating harmony!
- INHERITANCE REMINDER
- Dumbo
- Account Notice: Payment due
- Your eBay listing for Mickey Mouse is confirmed!

Ok the last few are legit, and someone called me "Dumbo", but the rest seem ok?! I can't wait to get my cool engraved tattoo on my inflated self, then watch some HDTV before I ride my u-scooter over for my harmonious date with a sweet cutie...that's after I collect my inheritance and make my feet smooth and clean of course. It's a good day to be a crazy monkey!

Well, I'm jus' grindin man, so ya'll nevermind me!

PS: Good news is if you look up SPAM on Google, the #1 listing is for that mystery meat stuff!

Iron Man vs. Iron Monkey 2008

Iron Man looks super cool...he's a superguy in a fancy metal suit who flies and jumps around...he punches and blasts away stuff in his way or things that are attacking him. Very much like myself when I don my "Robo Monkey" suit pictured above, but this crazy monkey isn't nearly as violent. (I control my temper well)

Here's a bit more about the upcoming flick starring Mr. Robert Downey, Jr:

When wealthy industrialist Tony Stark is forced to build an armored suit after a life-threatening incident, he ultimately decides to use its technology to fight against evil.

Also starring in this superhero action packed film are Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Swank, Jeff Bridges and Samuel L. Jackson..

Sounds cool eh? I'm sure you've all seen the cool looking advertisements on TV where he's flying through the air, fighting another big robot guy and shooting a tank with a missile from his arm. I'm psyched for the new flick and hope my owners bring me to a theater on May 2nd..I'm also hoping Iron Man reads this and makes me his sidekick for the sequel (I wouldn't want to fight him!)

Feelin' the Blogging Blues...

It's been rough going lately here at my Adventures of a Crazy Inflated Monkey Blog. Although I was accepted by the nice people of Blogsvertise, they haven't sent me any assignments yet :( I'm not sure whether it's due to rising gas prices, or they think I can't handle what they have, or if they think I'm just too crazy :) Really, I can talk and blog about anything they throw at me!

It's sad to report, this monkey was also turned down by Reviewme.com, another place that will pay people to write stuff about sites. They said I don't fit in with their criteria, so that will be something I need to work to achieve....Must become cooler and crazier...

In the meantime, as you can see above I love to blog, and love bananas, so hook me up!

Also, if you stop by here and want to do a Link trade thing lemme know, I'll be happy to accommodate other monkey bloggers who fit in with humor, entertainment, mixed bag and all other genres of blogs!

Crazy Monkey Answers Fan Mail

Hey friends! While I was surfing some of my favorite internet sites the other day..I got this very interesting message from a male fan that I'd like to share.... Let's take a look (I've taken out names and identifying info so the person won't get stalkers)...

Hi,

This is G.
I am on a dating site (----------.com screen name m------8) and although I have been on dates, I have not found that special someone yet. I have a 4 day 3 night vacation that I won to go to Cozumel, Mexico. I have not set the date yet but it will most likely be May 16 to the 26th.

I decided to find an attractive, fun, romantic, intelligent single female to go on a sun filled, relaxing, romantic, getaway there. I hope that this email may land in a mailbox of that woman or might get passed on to a friend of yours that would become that person. If you are interested email me back here so I can get to know you a little.

You can also see my personal profile on --------.com so that you can learn a little about me.

Talk to you soon,

G

...and here's my response to the fan:

Dear G,

Well first off this crazy monkey was really flattered by your fan mail and especially the offer to go to the very exciting land of Mexico! I know that I'm attractive, fun, romantic and intelligent enough to qualify for the trip... But then upon reading the message's fine print it said you wanted a female. :( That rules this monkey out, but as you can see in the image above my distant crazy monkey cousin Melinda just might be the one! (she's the one with the pink bow on)

G, I hope you find the right woman for your excursion, but please keep my inflated cousin in mind when making your selection..she's quite the party animal and would love to party it up in Mexico! Throw me a few bananas and I'll put in a good word for ya! ;)

Your main monkey,

Crazy Inflated Monkey

Blogsvertise & Twitter Time!

I'm a curious, antsy and fidgety sort of party animal so I need to find new things to occupy my time online. As of today I've been accepted into 2 new cool sites in the WWW, Blogsvertise and Twitter, and I'm anxious to use both!

Blogsvertise is cool because they said they want to pay me to talk about their stuff on my blog..So as soon as they start sendin me assignments, I'm down for whatever! I'm all for tryin to make monkey online so I can buy bananas or a fence for my garden!

You can also sign up and use Blogsvertise for doing your own blog advertising too. Give it a try!

Twitter is twitter-tastic, because it's like a big conversational website where everyone just says what the heck they are doing..I've heard it's crazy addictive and everyone's doin it! Below is my very first Twitter transmission:



Kinda like Entrecard...You can even Twitter from a phone from what I hear! Biz Stone and The Twitter Team already sent me a warm welcome by email!

You can follow this crazy monkey here at Twitter. - my profile's new so cut me slack til I make it look crazier and cooler! I tried to put a background but received the following cryptic message:



By the way I'm accepting anyone who tries to advertise with me on Entrecard, no matter what they're blog's talkin bout...So far I've had the most interest from people who try to make monkey online! Keep sendin me your ads, it's all good friends!

A Garden Update: Critter Protection 101

It's a beautiful sunny day over here, so here's a garden update for all you crazy monkey fans. Today I added some blue powder to water which makes a magical formula called "Miracle Grow". I'm expecting some 50 feet tall Broccoli, Squash and Tomato Plants now. I accidentally spilled a bit on one of my feet so I'm hoping it doesn't become a lot bigger.

I'm also researching how to keep those pesky deer, rabbits and other critters away. I have nothing against the other wildlife round here, but I do want my crops to grow rather than being their food. The owners of the property won't let me borrow their trusty family dog to keep outside 24/7, so I looked at Lowes' website on "Deer & Your Landscape".



It lists the following odd things you can use near your garden to scare off deer or others:

This list reads like Halloween night prank gone bad, but various applications of the following have been tried with mixed success. Unpleasant odors or odors associated with danger can keep pests away. As with many of the mechanical deterrents, a persistent deer is likely to become accustomed to these and resume feeding.

* Feces or urine from predators (such as lion or coyote)
* Hot pepper
* Garlic
* Rotten eggs
* Human hair

So it looks like I have to start eating more eggs, clipping hair off family members while they're sleeping, or go on a crazy adventure to catch a lion or coyote and make it urinate in a bucket.... Yeah that'll keep the deer and everyone else away!...Rabbit fencing it is!



Time to get to work and mow the lawn here...Gotta earn my keep before the weekend! Have fun folks...

Monkey See, Monkey Do!

Hey friends....Yesterday I decided to venture out into what they call the "Blogosphere", which is basically a vast jungle full of blogs covering all sorts of crazy topics! I wanted to see just what all the other crazy bloggers are doing out on this world wide web thing...During my surfing trip, I discovered this curious 125x125 box was appearing on many other blogs. It had cool pictures on it and read "Drop Yours"...when you clicked on the picture, it instantly transported you to other people's blog sites...Very fun and very addictive! (INote: 'm still not sure what exactly they wanted me to drop!)

So naturally I had to get in on all this crazy action! I wanted my own cool little graphic to put on some other blogs so people could know all about my adventures..The box device is called "Entrecard" and it is completely free! See my cool 125x125 image below? It's got me hanging out with a crazy hot guitar heroine! True inflated party animal style....



Above: My Monkey Entrecard box thing

Many bloggers talk about this flashy little square box so it must be something quite special! I've also seen some bloggers who dislike talking or hearing about it. But I'm all for fun and this 125 box is tons of fun so far! There's even other monkey blogs on there...

If you are part of the Entrecard guild online with your blog, use this link to get to my page so you can put your 125x125 box up for display:

Fools Garden Lemon Tree Lyrics

In honor of my recent gardening project, here's some music lyrics for the fun and fruity tune called "Lemon Tree" by the group Fools Garden. It's off their album "Dish of the Day". I thought about planting a lemon tree and a banana tree, but instead I went with the more conventional vegetable garden. Ok, enough about me and my Crazy Monkey garden, here's the Fool's Garden...

Lemon Tree
By: Fool's Garden
Album: Dish of the Day

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

My Crazy Monkey Garden Begins!

As you all know my favorite food of all-time is the banana. I really wanted to plant a few banana trees outside so I could enjoy my favorite fruit, but the climate just isn't right for it in my location. So instead, I began to study up on the wide world of gardening.


Studying the How to Garden Books

After a lot of in-depth research, I knew what I wanted to plant. I was able to purchase the seeds, plants and soil from good ol' Wal Mart, home of the smiley face guy and rollback specials. So I picked up some potting soil, seeds for Cucumbers, Squash and Tomato plants, and then Broccoli and Spinach plants. After a bit of work outdoors, things are now ready to start growin'!


Workin' hard on some spinach crops

So after a lot of careful consideration I chose to plant Spinach, Cucumbers, Broccoli, Squash and Tomatoes. Once I get some plants, I can start preparing some great salads and other healthy meals (to counteract the bad effects of my wild party animal life!) You can see in my diagram below that certain plants require more spacing than others to grow.



My Garden layout diagram

The above diagram shows you my eliptical entire garden layout. "S" for Spinach, "B" for Broccoli, "Sq" for Squash and "C" is for Cucumber, that's good enough for me :)

Gardening is a fun and rewarding hobby. I recommend that everyone starts their own garden because it's cool to watch the results and have fresh fruit or vegetables to enjoy...One thing I have to beware of is the animals from around here messin' with it. There's a lot of hungry deer and rabbits on the prowl, and an open garden for them is like a free outdoor salad bar! But if I can protect it, I'm expecting some great veggie crops in several weeks!

I'll provide more updates on how my gardening adventure unfolds...stay tuned!

A Crazy Monkey Traffic Romp in Orlando!

Run, Monkey Run! On Friday one of my good monkey friends tried to make a break for it! He decided to go for a romp through the crazy traffic in Orlando, wearing just a diaper. A man named Rommell Gray was driving along in the rush hour traffic with his wife and mother. He decided he wanted to try to catch the little fella and keep it as his pet. Us crazy monkeys don't always like to be put on a leash and taken home, so this crazy monkey really took offense. He started to chase the man around. Some of those Animal Control handler type people came by to capture my good pal, who's now living the good life at a local wildlife refuge. They used the good ol' banana on a string trap to catch him...

The monkey decided to escape because his owner went away on a business trip. He made his escape route near some studio apartments in a neighborhood in the block of 550 Conway Road

When Rommell Gray was asked what he'd name this monkey (who's name is Prada), the man remarked "Crazy". Imagine that!

The Top 10 April Fools Pranks!

Happy April fools! This crazy monkey decided to take a look around cyberspace for the Top April Fools jokes ever pulled on people...A website called Museum of Hoaxes has compiled the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of all time!

Here's a look at the Top 10 pranks pulled:

1 - Swiss Spaghetti Harvest of 1957 - BBC reported in 1957 on its news show Panorama that the Swiss were enjoying a plentiful and good Spaghetti harvest due to elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil. Footage of Swiss peasants pulling down spaghetti from trees was shown to add to the joke. I'm planting my seasonal Spaghetti crop as of this entry!

2 - Sidd Finch - In 1985, Sports Illustrated ran a story about Sidd Finch, a new rookie pitcher planning to play for the New York Mets. He could throw pitches up to an amazing 168 miles per hour! He was said to have mastered pitching in a Tibetan monastery. Mets fans were overjoyed, flooding the magazin with requests for more info on their new hero. However, they were merely April Fools victims.

3 - Instant Color TV - Sweden had just one TV station in 1964, and its technical expert appeared on the air to announce an amazing thing. Viewers could convert their existing B&W sets to display color today, simply by pulling a nylon stocking over their TV screen. Thousands fell for the prank putting their TV in hose. Color broadcasts didn't start in Sweden til 8 years later.

4 - The Taco Liberty Bell - In this 1996 stunt, Taco Bell announced its purchase of the Liberty Bell, a huge marketing move. Many angry people called Philly's National Historic Park to complain, and luckily the sale was not real. Taco Bell and the Libery Bell are still two historic landmarks in the US.

5 - San Serriffe - The British newspaper, The Guardian, published a 7 page supplement in 1977 about San Seriffe. It was a small republic in the Indian Ocean which had semi-colon shaped islands. Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse were its main islands. Basically all the names of people and locations were named after printer's terms.


See the Toilet Monster at Prankplace! - Not recommended for the elderly or those with a weak heart.

6 - Nixon for President - A 1992 National Public Radio show announced that Richard Nixon was running for president yet again. "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again" was his campaign slogan, and as the radio played soundbytes of Nixon's speeches, angry calls flooded the station.

7 - Alabama Changes the Value of Pi - Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0 The story became viral and circulated all over via email and word of mouth. Today, PI remains at its normal value of 3.14159, everywhere.

8 - The Left Handed Whopper (1998) - Burger King ran a full page ad in USA Today newspaper announcing a special new menu item, the Whopper burger which was rotated 180 degrees for lefties. According to BK, 1000's of customers wrote to request a right-hand version as well.

9 - Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers - 1995's Discover magazine published an article saying a biologist, Dr. Aprile Pazzo had discovered a new species: the Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers. These odd, mythical creatures were complete with bony plates on their heads which could become burning hot, allowing the crazy animals to bore through ice at high speeds. These do not exist folks, but if you see one, contact me!

10 - Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity - A British radio announcer fooled listeners in 1976 saying that Pluto would pass behind Jupiter at 9:47 AM. The announcer told listeners if they jumped in the air that exact moment, the Earth's gravitational pull would be lesser and they'd experience a floating sensation. Amongst hundreds of calls, a woman did report her and 11 friends floated out of their chairs.

Those are some crazy stunts! I'm hoping my owners don't try to fill me with helium or any other gases today, because that might not be too funny!

Remember to watch your backs and fronts today, you never know what someone may be trying to pull!
