Monkey School, Puan S. Korea

This post was originally aired on Sunday, December 4th, 2005. The pictures were taken on October 8th, 2005. Yes, I sure was lazy. But now I'm leaping back, setting right things which once went wrong, just like on Quantum Leap! On with the Post:

The three of us who went on this excursion decided to use aliases, so with me are Matt McCall and Baxter Tanenbaum. Mine was Art Van de Lay. Yeah, I didn't try too hard on that one. Baxter is the guy with the flaming pink shirt.

So this was my 2nd trip into Puan, but I didn't know how to get to the Monkey School. We didn't know anything about it, just that we had to see some monkeys!

We found the place finally, and got there in between shows. Plenty to see before the show. There was a geological museum and dinosaur eggs, fossils, and skeletons. There was a crocodile area, where we walked on a glass bridge about 2 feet over the crocs. There were monkeys in cages and a big plant and bug section. Then it was time for the show.

We laughed our asses off. It was probably the funniest stuff I have seen in years. The pictures didn't come out all that great in there I'm sorry to say.




Me and Baxter at a Totem Pole.


A big-ass Geode, or Amethyst thingy.


It's an angel! No wait it's Matt in front of a giant oyster.


Here's the giant oyster, sans Matt.


Baxter didn't stand a chance.


Some crocs, or alligators, I'm not sure. There wasn't a little sign.


Here's another Crocigator now!


Oh my god, That Crocigator's doing god's dirty work for Matt's Blasphemy. Or however you spell it.


The not so golden Golden Ticket to the Monkey School show!

Ever see a calm monkey turn into a blind-rage filled minion of evil and carnage, trying to chew through a plastic coated chain link fence to rip your face off and play in your disembowled carcass when you came around the corner? This guy was disturbing.


Even closer to the madness.


And then, the money shot! So darn cute, I could just puke.


Bald-ass monkey with a pink shirt. Who dresses these guys?


The show


After the show


Kim Jong Il's proposed new flag of a Unified Korea. I can't read Korean, but I bet it says :

On the left in white: The new Unified Korea will be open from 10:00 am until 10:00 pm. 120 days of the year.

On the right in red : It'll cost you 2,500Won ($2.50) to buy the new flag and 4,000Won ($4.00) per wave of it. Democracy ain't cheap, sports fans!
