Welcome to the Jungle, Baby!

That's right, today B-mo and I went back into our native habitat and did some "jungle fever" action! What's that? Er, Brian said maybe I shouldn't use that exact term....whatever. We were exploring the garden...um....jungle, I mean.

I know these hats aren't really "jungle-ready", but I seemed to have misplaced my Pith helmet. That's probably for the better, though, seeing as I can't go for 3 minutes with out giggling about the name. Man, it is really lush and green in here...steamy too! B-man said that we must be spoiled with the air-conditioning, and I think he's right! Everything is very beautiful though. Let's see if we can find a banana bush! Bush, tree, banana-vine, whatever the hell they grow on!

Bernardo took some time to smell the flowers. He is quite up on his botanical facts. He said that he believed the flower in this pic is a Day Lily. They don't have any particular smell. I gave one a sniff and promptly had a bug fly up my nose. Weak.

I think we found a banana tree. The bananas don't appear to be ripe yet, but that's OK...we likes em tangy! Bernardo is going to try and snag a couple for us.

Whew! Apparently B-mo isn't as knowledgeable as I thought. He took a big bite of "banana" and I thought he was going to explode....smoke was coming out his ears! Seems that it was some kind of hot pepper! I tried to be helpful and farted on him, but he was NOT very appreciative, so I left in a huff and pouted for a bit.

Hey, look at me! I'm a hippy! Bernardo forgave me and we explored even more. I found this sweet flower and put it in my hat. He said that I look like Minnie Pearl, but I don't know who that is. She must have a bitchin' hat though!

Then I farted.

It was a fun adventure, but we are tuckered out...man, the jungle is HOT. We're heading inside to catch our suds 'n' bubbles and perhaps a short nap. Gotta be ready for tonight...there's an Iron Chef marathon on!

Till then, remember kids:

mmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy.

Minkees in their natural habitat...

Today, Evan and Kelly had an update of their time in India.  They took some pictures and video of some minkees in their natural habitat. It was pretty cool.  Well, that inspired Guillermo and Bernardo to embrace their inner 'wild' minkeee and have some fun..

Here we have Bernardo playing in the jungle.  As you know there are some plants in the jungle held up by macrame vines.  There was a lot of hooting and swinging around on those vines.  B-man had a lot of fun!  The only problem he had was getting upset when he had some dirt on his little minkee butt.  His arms aren't long enough reach, but Guillermo was there with the assist. 

G-unit had some fun playing in the trees.  He really needs to remember that he has gotten stuck in that tree so many times.  He was quite content with hanging out in there and shouting comments at us all day.  There was also a lot of hooting.  At one point Guillermo asked if he can embrace the inner monkey and throw things.  I didn't ask what he wanted to throw, I thought a solid "NO" would be the only answer for that little guy.  You give him an inch and the poo will fly.  There was a little pouting, but I suggested that the minkees groom each other like the 'wild' minkees do and we heard nothing but giggling for the next hour.

Once they came in from the jungle/sun porch they decided to practice swinging around from vine to vine on the tree lamp.  They really didn't have much room to swing, but they made the most of it.  After a while they got a little tired and swung down to the couch for a nice long nap.  They slept for hours, snoring and farting the whole time.  I bet you can guess which monkey was the farty one!

Jungle Adventure

This one time, when I was in The Jungle, I got stuck in a tree.  I had soooo much fun playing I forgot about being stuck. Eventually, Bernardo came by and helped me out.  He is such a good minkey pal!
