I wonder if this where the term chimping was born? :p

Some people’s chimps are some people’s champs.

And some people’s chumps.

That last comment really was meant to be in response to the very first comment. OOPS. Obvious noob here.

  No need to apologize.
  
  As a matter of fact, I kinda liked the cryptic nature of your first comment when it was as yet un-explained.

  Wait a minute. Did you present your Steampunk/Maker/Urban Harvester/Shocked Kitteh verified credentials before posting here? They don’t let just *anyone* comment, you know.
  
  Oh, wait. Yes, they do. Welcome!

It’s been done. I’ll not post a direct link, lest someone be offended – but go to youtube and search on the following phrase for a very clever puppy / upskirt ploy

“Dog with the chamber in the street”

He’s probably thinking “too much parallax at this range- I knew I should have brought the F”.

Definitely not a kimono and probably not a yukata either. Design-wise it looks more like a happi to me… but due to the chimp’s short stature, it fits more like a yukata rather than a happi.

And why hasn’t anyone screamed “Racism!” yet? Am I the only one who thinks it’s a blatant jab at the Japanese?

ALL pictures should be photographed this way. everything else is invalid.

I’ve seen more subtle photography techniques. Then again, I’ve also seen less.

Since Mad Monkey Monday was retired, can we look forward to more of this simian bent every Monday in 2011 in its place?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I want to live the life of a chimp.

  Tis pretty challenging, there’s all these folks who keep locking them up without charge, often for life. Lawyers don’t speak Chimp.
  Would help if we had a currency other than bananas.

    No, I don’t want to be a medical experiment chimp. I want to be a playboy chimp. I just can’t wear a kimono convincingly.

Are you sure it’s a chimp?

He looks more like a young Hugh Hefner.

That chimp was living the Playboy lifestyle! I wonder if he also smoked a pipe? I can’t tell from the picture – is he wearing loafers?

  It’s worth pointing out that this chimp is, in fact, enabling a pretty awesome down-bikini shot with his crotch-photography. I mean sure, a bikini model probably wouldn’t mind either way, but it works as a proof of concept.

That must be the only chimp in the world with hairy palms.

That Simian is my hero, getting the beaver shot.

That flooring is definitely from 1963. I remember that sort of flooring, it was everywhere in 1963.

Yay Monday.

I’d rather spend Caturdays watching cartoons, but Monkey Mondays will never ever ever ever ever die.

Spank that monkey. Naughty little monkey.

Has anyone mentioned that that may not be a kimono?

So, when do we get to see the photos?

What about those smart shoes?! And it looks like he is wearing a pair of trousers, with the cuffs hemmed perfectly. This chimp dresses better than most of my friends.
