July 23, 2007: Monkey on a goat on a platform on a wire - Page 2

MalzB · 07-23-2007, 03:23 PM

I love monkeys!

I'm going with not a fake and that the platform is permanently attached to the wire somehow.

Main reason not a fake: no reason to fake.

If you look at the picture in the link, the goat seems to be floating around the wire in some way.

Their reason to fake? For attention. That's why there are hundreds of wacky photos of them sticking hooks in their eyelids and stuff like that. They're attention ho's.

More overzealous 'shop-calling...

Shawnee123 · 07-23-2007, 04:18 PM

I'm not trying to be difficult. Did you look at the pic where the goat is stepping directly on the wire? It doesn't look right somehow. I was hoping you, and your kind, o grand experts of all that is photo and shopped, could explain why the goat seems to be hovering on the wire. IN the picture IN the link. Was hoping one of you photogs or big-time cartoonists could tell me.

I gotcher overzealous shop calling right here, bucko.

And your nose is showing.

If all four feet were touching the wire, he wouldn't be walking. Understand, this isn't a big deal to a goat. He's just waltzing along.

There's a bump on a log on hole on monkey on a goat on a platform on a wire at the bottom of the sea....

Come on - sing it with me...

I think what Shawnee is seeing, is the half of the cloven hoof that's not on the wire, is hanging down on the other side.

Quick, someone PM Bri and get her in here to translate for us!

Well who ISN'T walking a fine line when you have a monkey on your back?

I love the look on Flint's dog's face...its like "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...I'm gonna get em"

Nivek · 07-23-2007, 09:25 PM

Both the goat and the monkey are more talented than I'll ever be.

Holy crap, I just realized that "Wrangler" (post #13) was IotD for 10/29/2002. My Google Image search hit on Neatorama's caption "Cowboy Monkey" but it linked back here. And I have to say, I think Wrangler is photoshopped. I noticed, after posting the pic, that he is surrounded by image artifact.

I assumed "Wrangler" was real, because I thought he was Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey, seen below. As you can see from his website, Wrangler is real enough to be sponsored by Wrangler jeans and Justin boots, among others. I think I've seen Whiplash in Ye Olde Videoe Clippe Threade.
