Title: That Okonokos monkey...
Post by: The DARK on Mar 06, 2007, 06:28 PM
My parents and I have come to blows over this, and it may seem trivial, but...

Is that Okonokos monkey making an obscene gesture?

An absurd question, I know. And I'm certain that the answer is no. But it's the reason I don't have an Okonokos hoodie right now. I need all of you to get behind me here.

I don't have the hoodie in front of me now, but I've never noticed.

yeah...he's definitely engaging in auto-erotic activities...j/k...but i could see how stern parents might want to think the monkey is spanking his monkey...don't do it son, you will go blind!!!

I have the hoodie and I've had about 4 or 5 people ask me if why that monkey is flipping people off. Do I think its flipping the bird--not sure. Do some people think its flipping the bird--apparently.

I think it was my mom that asked me if my hoodie was flipping her off...   Since then I asked about a half-dozen other folks and nobody else thought it was.  I always assumed it was picking bugs outa its ear or something.

In any case, I am always nervous when I wear it to work now (a company with a relaxed dress code, but once-upon-a-time required suits/ties even for code monkeys).

It appears to me he is claiming what set he is from.  Gang signs may be seen as an obscene gesture :-/

My 12 daughter insists that the creature on the top left this site is a leemer.  I am glad that she didn't ever notice that his penis is hanging out.   ;)

I think we're getting confused on which monkey we're talking about here. I meant the one inside the "O" in Morning on the top of the screen.

Just put on a pair of mittens, hold it up to your parents and say "Am I flipping you off?".  They wont be able to tell.  That Ape has mitten like hands, how the heck can he flip anyone off???
