The thing is, he’s a little SCARY looking. His ears are very crooked, his lips are a little “wavery” and his arms are stuffed too stiff.
And he’s STARING at me!
Hey, before you say anything RUDE, what did YOU create on this fine Thursday night? I bet you just watched tv! Well I created life! Monkey life! So get off my back.
Sock monkeys are very scary, but only slightly less scary than a sock doll…with their big vacant eyes staring at you. My aunt had a sock doll collection when I was little. She would line them up on her bed, and I would peep around the door frame at them.
I made my borfriend a sock monkey as a Christmas gift one year. He had been talking about how much he loved the one he had as a child, and how he wondered what happened to it.
So I made him a new one, and also put one of his favorite books in with it (A Ray Bradbury collection…was he a wierd kid or what? ).
He said it was one of the best gifts he had ever gotten. So viva la sock monkey! I’m sure he would just make someone’s day
Whatever you do, please don’t show your sock monkey to MTV. They will probably, if that abomination known as “Sifl and Olly” is any indication, offer you a production deal.
I believe that in hell, demons look like either Sock Monkeys or those little sand people with the glowing eyes from Star Wars. Because really, those are probably two of the scariest creatures ever created.
Oh, and I spent my night at Home Depot going through thousands of paint chips and tile & flooring samples for my house remodel. So I was maybe a little productive. A little.
A serious question: Why are sock monkeys so scary/evil/creepy???
My best friend has a thing about them, too. I’ve threatened to make him one and put it on his bed to surprise him. Then, of course, he threatens to buy me a glittery greeting card (which squicks me out).
Please. Tell me the horrors of the SOCK MONKEY! elfbabe- you must get one of those nurses for QtM and tell us about the fallout. I’m wondering if he’ll end up muttering and drooling on himself in a padded room…
My sister made me boy and girl sock monkeys for Christmas one year, I love em! As a child I had a sock monkey named Sammy, he and I used to have all kinds of adventures together. One time we turned my closet into a space ship and went to the moon.
Secondly, you have created monkey life and that is indeed something to be proud of, congrats.
I have a sock monkey a coworker gave me last year for my cats (it had a little cat nip in it). Apparently, cats do not like monkeys and it didn’t take long for my kitties to gut the poor thing to get at his cat nip innards. I guess Bucky Katt in Get Fuzzy is indeed representative of the feline species in his dislike for the monkine species.
I’ve been thinking of restuffing the poor thing and repairing his wounds. In fact I picked him up from the box he was in just the other day and examined his wounds but I could not find my bag of stuffing so I put him back. When I came home the next day I found him laying on the floor next to the box. I suspect that the cats saw me with him and tried to dispose of the body before I could repair it. I think they may have stomped on him but it’s hard to tell since he’s already flat.
I would like to add; Sock Monkey Underpants = BAND NAME!
