Deep in the Mighty Jungle...
An orphaned infant was discovered...
by friendly, slow-witted apes!!!These dumb yet kind and noble beasts accepted the little one as one of their own.
They named him "Car-zan", imparting to him their wisdom and raising him solemnly in the ways of the ape:
Showing little Carzan how to find food in the dangerous jungle...
...how to swing on vines high above the treetops...
...and how to defend the troop from savage predators!Under their tutelage, Carzan grew dumb and strong! Subsisting only on bananas, he grew and grew. Oh, how he grew!
He became...LORD OF THE JUNGLE!!!
"Ah-ah-yee-ah-yee-ah-eh-aha-ha-ah, etc., etc!!!"Then, one day...
He fell in love...
"Me Carzan--You Plane!"
"What?! You conceited jerk!!!"Alas, what she had heard was:
"Me Carzan--You plain!"
Off she flew!
(Thus ending abruptly their tempestuous romance)...But that was not the end of Carzan the Apecar! Or was it?

WOW!
You are to good for XANGA!
What about the plane? Where did you find such a lovely picture of a plane?
(Nice story)
Thank you, but I'll NEVER turn to the dark side (Myspace)! Well, probably not, at least for a few days.
RVMann,
I took those plane pictures at the St. Louis County Fair this Labor Day, where they had a big airshow. That particular plane was used in the Berlin Airlift.
Did you happen to notice the pilot?
Can't tell for sure what/who it is...a bear? ...a Koala?
Very nice!
BTW - I made a copy of "The Foreigner" video and I will be in Salem tomorrow.
Dan, how do you come up with these ideas? This is wild but really clever and funny. Couldn't help but see a similarity between this and a certain jungle story I saw on video.
RvMann, it is a somewhat cuddly-looking teddy bear. Somebody had a good sense of humor to put it there.
Cookiegrandma (It would be so much easier to just type "Mom" but then I'd give away your secret identity), someone was talking about the Tarzan cartoon movie at work and I think somehow I either heard it wrong and/or the thought came to me that "CARzan" would be a funny twist on the story. I made the blog entry several days later.
Chesswrangler,
Sorry I missed you this weekend. I was in Memphis for C.E. sponsored by my alma mater, the Southern College of Optometry. The C.E. was actually held at the Peabody Hotel but they had a "Homecoming" event at the school, complete with "Interstate Barbecue". The meat was not roadkill, as you might imagine with that name, but really quite good anyway (much better than Corky's, another chain in that area).
