You spelled "websight" wrong... and they were referencing 'cock' as a sound a rooster makes, not the portion of the male anatomy.

That isn't necessarily true, Western Ignorance. The Chinese horoscope is a very complex thing and it doesn't mean that just because you're born a certain year as someone else you're going to be the same..

And anyway, Loosen up, it's just for fun..  :D

I Like Monkeys
by Mark Bakalor

I like monkeys.

The pet store was selling them for 5 cents apiece. I thought this was unusual since they were normally a few thousand dollars. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth so I bought two hundred of them. I like monkeys.

I took my two hundred monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one of them drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact none of them were very bright. They kept punching themselves in the genitals. I laughed. They punched me in the genitals. I stopped laughing.

I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt too well to their new environment. They would screech and hurl themselves off the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.

Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive; they all died. No apparent reason. They all just dropped dead. Kinda like when you buy a goldfish and five hours later it dies. God darn cheap monkeys.

I didn't know what to do. There were two hundred dead monkeys lying all over my room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs. I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and one hundred ninety-nine dead, dry monkeys.

I tried to pretend that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for awhile, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell really bad.

I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in my toilet and I didn't want to call a plumber. I was embarrassed.

I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately there was only enough room for two at a time, so I had to change them out every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food so it didn't go bad.

I tried to burn them, but I didn't know that my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the flames.

Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in my freezer, and one hundred ninety-seven dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor wasn't improving.

I became agitated at my inability to dispose of the dead monkeys and I really had to use the bathroom. So I went and severely beat one of the monkeys. I felt better.

I tried throwing them away but the garbage man said that the city was not allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him I had a wet one. He couldn't take it either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones.

I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas presents. My friends pretended to like them, but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in the genitals.

I like monkeys.

BTW, not that I necesarilly think it's hard science or anything, but I've always had an open mind to stuff like this. I remember when I used to go to Chinese restaurants alot, about 10 years ago, I loved reading the Zodiac papers they used for placemats at each table. ;)

I wouldn't too much worry about the "guest"--as Apricot said, some of them are just strange LOL, and by the misspelling of website I sincerely doubt it's anything to take seriously.

Seriously though, I was born in late 1981 so does that make me on the cusp of a dog?

LOL, cool.

BTW I was born in September, so I guess that's not THAT late in the year. Still though I tend to refer myself as the previous age as opposed to the one I'm turning in a given year.

For instance I had my 10th birthday in 1991 but I now will typically say I was 9 in 91 since I was for most of the year.

My younger self and I are pretty similar in most respects, but boy that's one thing he'd hate me for now, LOL! ;D

Hey, Marty, Kettle Queen and Philip - Cool, you're all a Rooster, too, eh?  Like Philip said up above, there are quite a bit of Roosters on here. I'm a dog and I think there is a fellow dog on here, but I can't remember which one..

Roosters are known to be quick thinkers and flamboyant *according to the Chinese astrology books* Your western counterpart is the sign of Virgo (that basically means that the western sign you're closest to is the sign of Virgo). I'm sort of a sucker for this stuff, but in all honesty I don't live by it.. but it's lots of fun to read about and just sort of laugh a bit..

Ohh, how cool! I'm a Gemini Dog - but unfortunately the Dog western counterpart is Libra, so I'm off the mark by a bit..

Yeah, you're not on the cusp or anything, so you're a true Virgin

I'm a cusp person, so I could also be a Taurus, but I like being a Gemini better :0) Unless I start getting stubborn.. lol
