Fear the Monkey

I have this little item on my desktop homepage which refers to itself as, "How to of the Day." Fine. Usually it offers banal instructions on how to do things that no one really needs to do, like cutting radishes to look like roses.

Today, however, it has swerved disturbingly off course - step-by-step instructions on how to create this monstrosity:




That, my good friends, is what's known to at least one person as a "Towel Monkey." Whitey thinks it looks like "Towel Predator" and I tend to agree with him.

Should you want to turn your bath towels into the stuff your kids' nightmares are made of, go HERE. If you ever see one these things, I advise you wet it down and whip whoever made it. Be sure to scream like a gibbon in the process so they don't think you're completely unappreciative of their effort.

  1. When Elf was young, he was treated for a malignant tumor at a children's hospital. Most of the young patients on the oncology ward were there for quite some time, needless to say.

    The nurses used to make stuff like this for the younger children, to divert their attention during procedures, but they made them out of a washcloth rather than a towel.

    That is the only reason I can imagine, that anyone would ever want to make such a hideous thing.
