A Special "Man Conquers Space" Tribute to s.s.h.

The animal looks like a baboon. Baboons are monkeys? Or are we the
monkeys? Or may be the critter is a bobtail monkey. Cute no matter what.
Which gives me an idea for Survivor XV. Sixteen morons are sent to Mars.
Each month one is flushed into the vacuum of space.... Oops ran out of
morons, oh well it was just an idea. Now to have that nationwide search for
the Mars Survivor XV Morons! Trust me after watching Jay Leno's man/woman
on the street it'll be easy to find 16 people that are five levels below the
moron standard.
No, not me guys and gals :-0 We should start the search on
alt.aliens.imprisoned.

Huh. When about a third of the way through, when only the monkey's head
was visible (I've got a glacial dialup connection, so sue me), I felt
certain that it would show something quite different... AMFAF. Which
would have been a more honest tribute to SSH...

This is a rhesus monkey.
Like Able.
Hint. Hint.

So his( her?) name is "Boris", David? Congratulations on bringing a
beautiful dream unto fruition by the dedication, patience, skill, and hope
of your heart- one does not get to see that ultimate expression of the
possibilities of humanity's dreams very often- but when one does, we all
know that the phrase " A Labor Of Love" really means... ( an inside joke
doesn't exactly suck, either...)

You missed the bobtail joke but I bet some people got it.

So you are saying Cain or Baker killed Able? LOL
Okay. You made a nice compliment to the group!
I get it!! :-) and all I can say is very cool and back to phylogeny school
(actually I missed that class-darn.) The riddle of genetic relatedness will
turn some phylogenetic trees upside down over the next 50 years (pun
intended.)
I am constantly reading new space history books. I am addicted. The
Mercury and Jupiter ages are kind of near the bottom of my list, but I'll
get there! My true feelings about your work were posted this morning on
another thread.

This "animal" is a monkey owned by some friends of David's, who rescued it
from a zoo, and tried to give it as normal life as possible... considering
that it's entire world had been lost, due to the fact that it had no other
of it's own kind to interact or relate to.... it was a rough attempt at it's
happiness, and in some small measure to give this small soul some hope of
regaining that which it had lost...but David and his friends thought that it
was worth the effort:
"And God sent forth unto creation the angels; so that the love, and hope,
and dreams of all that lives in creation might be guarded- and that all that
has lived; lives today; or ever shall live, might achieve their first,
greatest, and most perfect destiny..."
Way to go... all of you....

So Pat, these David and his friends nicknamed the monkey Boris, in honor of
the USSR's space monkey? If what you are saying is true, and I believe you,
I think that is awesome! I have a dog we named Sarah, after the woman who
plays Witchblade, (before it became a TV show)--when it was only a comic
book.
We get all of our pets from the pound, where many animals face almost
certain death in our city. It is nice to rescue them and give them a second
chance at life. We never get a kitten or puppy. We get adults pets because
no one seems to want them. Sarah was already house broken and could do
several neat things, like barking when anyone comes near any door, sniffing
everyones crotch when they come in, etc.... My favorite thing she is that
she a sneek. Once she climbed on the table and ate a bag of M&M's (poison
to a dog.) Like the smart dog she is, she politely puked them all up on the
tile instead of the carpeting :-) All true stories.

...Ironically, History Channel had one of those "Modern Marvels" that
dealt with CORONA on the other night. The one where they interviewed
Dwayne (*), who uncovered Boris' existence for the sake of historical
accuracy.
(*) And here I always thought Dwayne was an old, hairy fart like
Henry. Now I find he's just a snobby-looking frat nazi. Go figure :-)

But can he play the William Tell Overture by snapping his fingers on
his throat, like his brother Daniel Simpson? And does he still have
the .45 (With blanks)?

David wrote me about the little guy several months back; IIRC his friends
have three monkeys of which this one is the most photogenic, but also most
highly strung- it wasn't treated well by it's former owner, and it shows- in
other words, it is a squirrelly monkey (Hee-Hee). But watch him while you
can, the baby satellite that he goes up in has no heatshield, and his
ultimate fate is to end up with Laika.( Actually, that would make a good
title for a Russian kids show: "The Boris and Laika Show".) I told David
that he is going to have trouble with this aspect of the film come Oscar
time; and that the monkey should descend safely into Africa, and fight
Apartheid.

...Already been done with that idea. Give 20th Century Fox enough time
to let us forget Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" mess, and we'll see
that's exactly how General Thade turned Earth into what we saw at the
end of that abortion.
