It’s a newer holiday. Relatively straightforward, to participate you simply indulge in Hot Monkey Love (aka: enthusiastic sexual activity) at least once during daylight hours. I for one will be participating in International Hot Monkey Love day 2008. ---

Crap! I’d do my best to add to the spirit of season for our new holiday, but I’m going to be visiting my in-laws. All damn day. Why did they put it so close to Thanksgiving? ---

I think it should be extended to Hot Monkey Love WEEK. What a wonderful world this would be! I will be sure to participate heartily on the 23rd. 😉 ---

Does another person need to be involved to make it official? If not, every day is International Hot Monkey Love Day for me. ---

Near as I can tell there is no specified number of required participanties (as they’re known). So 1 to 1,000 is fine I guess. ---

Can we extend it out past daylight hours? There aren’t many of those here in Minnesota in the winter, and we don’t want to miss the event! ---

When I was a kid I’d ask my father “Dad, if there’s a Mother’s Day and there’s a Father’s Day why isn’t there a International Hot Monkey Love Day?” He’d put his hand on my shoulder, bend down, give me a wink and say “Son, every day is International Hot Monkey Love Day.” ---
