Tails of the Green Monkey

[Monkey@Arms]

The Clever-Little-Monkey’s Halloween costume haul: Russian child’s gas mask, surplus military mittens, and a giant cockroach, which he named “Roachie.”


Now on to the UK mother ship. Clan M@A with Jenneviere Villegas, UK’s “Inamorata of Operations, Newsletter Knockout, Donations Diva, and The Pepperspray of Enlightened Compassion.”


A one of a kind hand painted “Seattle Starry Night” kilt.


Hmm, not quite as limber as that other fella, but that’s OK, Mother always told me not to kick my assailant any higher than the knee.


The first one is my favorite (it’s a quote from “Spinal Tap.”)
