Why a Blog About Monkeys?
.gif)
Monkeys have many of the good traits and lack many of the bad traits of humans. We feel an innate connection with primates, which is why we are naturally drawn to them and why we think that they are so interesting. They are fun house mirrors of ourselves. Monkeys are like humans - before we went apple picking in The Garden of Eden . . . or was it The Olive Garden? I dunno, I always get those two mixed up. But I know that one of them has really good breadsticks!
Recently, I expanded the scope of Monkey Prose to cover other subjects like books, movies, art, wine, consumer issues, and anything else that I think might be of interest to my readers. Because, hey, you can't write about monkeys all of the time!
I am always looking for interesting and unusual stories to publish, so I welcome suggestions from my readers.
So that's the deal. Word up. May all of your bananas be ripe! :-)
About Moi
- Monkey Bob
- I set up this blog at the request of the voices in my head. I work as a sales rep in the medical research field. It is a good job which pays well, and which I like. However this blog allows me to exercise more creativity and to learn new technology. I like learning new stuff. I am married and have a daughter and a granddaughter. I also have an imaginary friend named Roland, but it's very painful to talk about him. He's been such a disappointment! I love wine and movies, especially foreign movies. Once you get past the subtitle barrier, it opens up a whole new world of cinema that isn't made by committees of Hollywood accountants. I think that YouTube will profoundly change television and civilization. I also believe that there are THREE RULES to follow if you want to have a happy and fulfilling life: 1) Always try to tell the truth 2) Always give your employer an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. and 3) Never drive into New York City, during morning rush hour, after having two cups of coffee and a bran muffin. To all of my blog visitors, I wish you health, happiness, and a good friend to groom you!

No Monkeys Were Harmed in the Creation of this Blog.

No monkeys were harmed in the creation of this blog. However, two humans were injured. I got a paper cut (stings like hell!) while loading my printer, and my wife's feelings were hurt because I was too busy blogging to watch Two and a Half Men with her.
We are both expected to recover.
Monkey Bob's Editorial Guidelines for Monkey Prose
.jpg)
I have been asked by a number of people about my guidelines for the content of Monkey Prose. A number of these inquiries came from primate conservation groups.
In order to protect their reputations, these groups only want to be associated with blogs and websites that present primates in a proper format, and that don't contain offensive or prurient material.
My guidelines for Monkey Prose are:
* No pictures of monkeys or apes in television, movies, or other media that present these creatures in non-natural settings. An example would be TV commercials, where chimpanzees are dressed up and are performing human functions. Many of these animals are treated poorly by their handlers, and many primate groups consider such use to be exploitation.
* No adult content material. This site is about primates, not porn.
* No material that would be considered to be in bad taste.
My goal for this blog is to present information about primates that is interesting, amusing, and/or educational.
I am open to suggestions from Monkey Prose readers. If there is something that you would like to see a post about, please contact me at bobsher54@verizon.net. The same goes if you see something that you find to be upsetting or inappropriate.
While I retain the right to control the content of my blog, I am sensitive to my readers' feelings. If I think that your suggestion or complaint has merit, then I will give serious consideration to making the suggested change.
I look forward to hearing from you!
- Monkey Bob

Thanks for stopping by my site and for the link! I don't see this group on your links, so check out The Gorilla Foundation at www.koko.org. It's a fascinating place.
Thanks for the response. This site looks great. I am linking to it today.
