The one I remember is the invisible one in the basketball game.
No, the NBA’s Pheonix Sun’s official mascot is a gorilla wearing a team uniform!
Yeah, it’s not like the good old days when you knew you were getting a Land Shark! shakes fist and wanders into the outback
Candygram.
This whole thread I’ve been thinking of the gorilla in the original The Electric Company. He might be in this episode, which introduces Spider-Man as part of the cast.
Reading this thread brings to mind the story of Jack Woolams, the test pilot who wore a gorilla mask when he was putting the P-59 Airacomet (the first jet fighter designed by the USA) through it’s paces.
They would wave them through, you reckon? To disturb and interrupt class and a teacher? I doubt it. They would rather be shot at.
I did not see that one either. Truly mind boggling.
And no, I have never before heard of a gorillagram. Sounds meshugge to me.
Back in the 80’s we put on a 40th birthday party for a much admired senior manager at the company where I worked. The party was at a rented hall, not the workplace. We got her a gorilla stripogram. It was a guy in a gorilla suit with a tuxedo on over that. It was a pretty funny routine as he stripped out of the tux. The finale was ripping off the trousers revealing an enormous pair of boxers with hearts on them.
Nature photography is wonderful:
David Copperfield didn’t just start in megahalls in Vegas; he had to work his way up, yanno.
It does start to get derailed once the whole Lion angle gets introduced.
Back in the 1950s if you wanted to up your gorilla-at-the-party game, you could invite The Nairobi Trio.
Okay, but they could also send flowers with a threatening message. Or a singing telegram about how 
they’re going to break your legs
What is it specifically about this that makes it an issue?
True, but their penmanship is absolutely terrible.
On the issue of large wild animals, who saw the movie, “Cocaine Bear”?
Could someone please explain to me how it is possible for an animal of any size to injest that much cocaine in one sitting and not be dead within minutes?
They say this film was based alot on a true story, but it makes absolutely no since, common or otherwise.
There is no way that a black bear can injest that much cocaine all at once, and go on a killing spree that lasts several hours and days.
I guess you shouldn’t believe everything you see at the movies…
There was bear who ate a bunch of cocaine. That’s about all that matches. In real life the bear was already dead when they found it. It’s a comedy movie, not a documentary.
What evidence convinced you?
Since “Gorillagrams” (what few are left) are sent out by agencies that handle a variety of other novelty greetings, are you saying:
- The head of the agency is sending out the personnel with instructions to take pictures and/or spy on the person getting the gift, or
- The employee is telling the boss “Gee, wouldn’t it be just grand to send out a Gorillagram to Mrs. Penelope Petrocelli at 2333 W. Primrose Park free of charge? Let me get my gorilla suit on and I can be right out there!”?
Did you actually think “Cocaine Bear” was a documentary?
It was D. B. Cooper under the mask all along.
