I got my mother laughing hysterically, even though I couldn't explain a third of the jokes to her. She still loves your stuff. I just choose not to offend her moral sensibilities. This means that you can still deliver amazing sh*t to those types of people, without them getting the hidden jokes. Seriously, good work, man

      That sound had so many emotions. The excitement to be moments away from the internet (Nick Jr, Yahoo! Chat, Runescape, Albino Black Sheep). The frustration when picking up the phone to call a friend. The anguish when you hear the yell from the other room that someone else needs the line.

    When I lived in Brunei as a kid, I'd often see Proboscis Monkeys while on safari through the mangroves, but the funnier story comes from when I visited a zoo in Malaysia. Essentially, i brought a toy jaguar with me as I wandered around the place, and when I got to the Proboscis Monkey enclosure and propped myself up on the viewing platform, they caught sight of the jaguar and quite literally went ape shit, the males roaring and flopping their red chillies towards the jaguars direction. In hindsight, probably wasn't that funny for them, but its hard to take them seriously when they were doing that.

    Fun fact: In the Polish internet the proboscis monkey is used as a symbol of middle-aged lower working class men. I mean, just look at those monkeys, it's obvious their only hobbies are watching soccer games from the 70s (when the national team was still quite good), drinking cheap beer and not-washing their brand new German cars (of the 1992 vintage), and their greatest enemy is the neighbour who recently bought himself a 1993 Opel Astra (he must have been stealing from his work place, no way he'd be able to afford such a factory-fresh car otherwise!).
