And we shall mourn

For my next sidebar update, I had been planning to add a link to the Daily Monkey. But now, alas, the Daily Monkey is no longer to be either daily or monkey. Dude wants to spend more time with his family or something like that. A sudden spate of whining in the comments has encouraged him to relent somewhat and he has promised occasional monkeys and an RSS feed. Eventually. Maybe.

Go and click on the pictures to work your way back through the monkey annals. My favorite is the Furi-furi Monkey Dance. We have one of these wind-up monkeys from World of Mirth. The appearance of the monkey drinking anisette coincided with Oz's sudden interest in ouzo, and we subsequently purchased a set of coasters featuring that monkey image. Thus have the monkeys become part of our lives.

Good-bye, Daily Monkey.
