Freaky Friday Fake and the Mebuary: The Legend

Some people never learn, do they? Undercover reporter Jimmy Imaturk tried to sneak into the Monkey Lab compound during the week to get an exclusive for several newspapers. Unfortunately Jimmys dreadful disguise wasnt enough to fool three angry Gorilla guards who tried to dismantle Jimmy before throwing him off our property. After discussion our group has agreed that fingers and ears are useful, Jimmy please send your postal address to PO Box 100, Monkeytown and we will return your missing bits as soon as possible. Jimmy is pictured pleading for his ears back....




Mebuary: The Legend

People often ask me what is Mebuary? As the old saying goes, its not quite May, its not quite Febraury but man.....

The roots of Mebuary stretch back to the Democratic Monkey Convention of 1947 when Herbery A. Beaverhead argued that monkeys and apes everywhere should have an extra month. Employers were extremely please with the extra working days while your average ape applauded the inclusion of four Drexdays as well as two Scratchdays. It was enacted and delivered but problems soon followed when arguments erupted as to when exactly Mebuary was, factions soon broke into two distinct camps the 'Post February Mebuarists' and the 'Pre May Mebuarists'.

The PFM claimed that Mebuary followed February and complemented March, calling a pre May Mebuary unfeasible. Meanwhile the advocates of Pre May Mebuarism termed the PFM 'coconut heads' and claimed that Mebuarys rightful place was pre May. A compromise was a pssibility when disgruntled members of the PFM and PMM put forward a compromise of splitting April in half and inserting Mebuary, the PFM and PMM outrightly refused to agree calling them 'crazy eyed monkey heads'.

Mebuary finally found its righful place in 1979 when George Lucas held the first Mebuary Reconciliation Conference on board the set of the Millenium Falcon. Some members of the PFM and PMM declared Chew Bacca a monkey god before it was pointed out that he wasnt actually a monkey, these monkeys are now referred to as Chewbaccanists and their tiny cult has nearly died out. The results of the conference were an agreement that Mebruary would be broken into four phases of ten days and that a Pre April Mebuary would come into effect in 1980. Lucas turned down the idea of Vader stating that he was a monkey rather than Lukes father only after Hansel B Hungwell, junior presidnet of the PFM became intoxicated on banana liquer and tried to show Chewie who is daddy was.

To all those Mebuarists and Drexdayologists out there, happy Drexday!
