Why, Oh Why <A single woman wonders>

[MonkeyPants]

well I am/was a Buffy fan (tho I liked Angel more) but the name actually came from a video game...well inspiraed by a game is more like it. The game Ape Escape. It hit here in the states, you played as a kid trying to capture monkeys (yes why the game was called Ape and not monkey escape I do not know) who were running around in pants with weapons and such..it was funny at the time...still is. Well then a sequel of sorts came out in Japan in which the object of the game was to actually run after the monkeys with a vacuum cleaner and suck their pants off and then throw them into a washing machine. ( leave it to japanese to come up with same crazy stuff eh? ) Well I thought that was hillarious...around that time I started playing some games online and decide the name monkeypants would be funny, especially when they were shooter games and some poor sucker was going to see the message 'you were shot by monkeypants' displayed on their screen. anyway the name has just stuck with me for years now.

I've been wondering that myself. I have that quote on a bumper sticker on the wall of office cubicle. And seeing the reply, I'm even more curious. I am now pondering hippo dignity.

It's okay, Jenelope, we can just sit here and think in a French accent every time we see that name.

And Oz had a good point- why ARE monkeys the only animal cracker with pants?
