After scanning the comments on the "Dan wants a monkey" entry, it has come to my attention that you people are not backing me up. Y'all think he should have a monkey. So what I'm asking you now is when he gets a monkey, can he come and live with you? If not, then I think it's time for you all to ponder your previous comments and then TAKE THEM BACK. Otherwise, Dan will be calling you soon to work out a rotating schedule for his room and board. Let me know what you decide. Because Dan is doing a victory dance as we speak.

OK, Haley, I'll chime in. The fact is that Dan is right: monkeys can be quite useful. Spider Monkeys are often trained to be assistants for people with severe spinal cord injuries (such as Christopher Reeve had). However, after once making an inquiry about getting such an assistant for myself, I learned, rather much to my dismay, that the little "helpers" are REALLY a nasty mess to clean up after. The agency that deals with training the monkeys insists that there must be an able-bodied person in the household to deal with all the MESS (and let your imagination run wild considering that term...you won't be wrong, no matter what you dream up). All in all, unless you _*REALLY*_ _*REALLY*_ _*REALLY*_ require the assistance of such a beast, you're better off without one.

I vote for no monkey. Also, no dog, no cat, no bird. Perhaps a goldfish? Nah. I'm all for no responsibilities until Baby Wachdorf comes along (someday... not today... I'm not starting rumors here.)

Dan and "Junior" Wachdorf are welcome here ANYTIME. Just make sure they wear name tags (so we can tell 'em apart) and poop flinging will not be tolerated (the monkey will be easy, it's the Dan I'm worried about.) Nya-ah-ah.

Tell Dan to ask his father-in-law aout monkeys. If Randy doesn't remember Dr. Landry's monkey in Texas I'm sure Haley's Uncle Steven will. NOT a pretty sight!
I VOTE NO MONKEY. I'm with you all the way Haley!

I've always liked the name Burt Reynolds for a pet monkey. :)

He can come live with me, I want a monkey too. Maybe we could teach the monkey to play foosball. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!
