If you have been to San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf anytime in the past 30 years or so you probably came across the World Famous Bushman. The Bushman (his real name is David Johnson) has scared tourists on the Wharf since 1980. He hides behind a clump of eucalyptus branches and when unsuspecting tourists walk by he shakes the branches and growls in his deep, gravelly voice causing his quarry to jump, squeal, scream, and otherwise go a bit apesh*t. Of course this is to the enormous delight of all those who are in the know and watch from afar. Sure it’s…

San Francisco Skylines
It was an absolutely gorgeous weekend in San Francisco. Now, as Kongo pecks away at his iPad at 35,000 feet on the way to MSP with Moby in his earphones the memories still linger. Kongo grew up in the Bay Area and comes back to visit two or thee times each year. All visits are great but the crystal clear weather, the warm days, and the ever beautiful San Francisco light was something special. To those who really know and love the City it is always called San Francisco. Never ‘Cisco, Frisco, or San Fran. It’s a lady. It’s always…
B Boarding Pass?
Kongo is off early tomorrow morning for a long weekend in San Francisco but what was he thinking? He hardly ever flies Southwest but when he does he always remembers to check in early to get that A Boarding Pass for the Southwest cattle call. Today he forgot so it looks like he will be flying in the back of the bus. Oh well, no matter since it’s only an hour flight and any monkey can handle that.
Plane Stupid
Do our personalities change when we fly? If you score an upgrade are you suddenly superior to the poor schmuck with the same mileage status who ended up in a middle seat when his earlier flight was cancelled? Watching people on airplanes is always a favorite pastime. I am always amazed at the levels of cluelessness, arrogance, humanity, panache, obnoxiousness, and just plane rudeness I see on my frequent travels. The following are a few observations I’ve learned to avoid being plane stupid in the sky.
The Last Birthday Video
OK, here is Kongo’s last Jerry 87th birthday video. It’s great.
Happy Birthday, Jerry!
Kongo and Monkey Business Films put together another project where celebreties, family, and friends from ALL OVER THE WORLD come together to wish Jerry a happy 87th birthday. So far, Jerry has six children, 12 grandchildren, and 9.5 great grandchildren and still counting! There’s also a big herd of spouses and significant others. Still counting! This is why monkeys live in large troops in the jungle! See all the fun here.
Monkeys Jumping On The Bed
Three little monkeys, jumping on the bed; one fell off and broke her head… What happens when little girls have too much sugar. This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
