Monkey Man has been holding out on us...

[BKK-OZ]

Well, I'm not saying he has been tricksy or anything, but how come MM never told us about his new guitar amp business???

The brand is 'Big White Monkey' and they make a Chimp II amp/cab combo and a Kong head. Even the controls remind me of Nicky:

• - Poo/Gain
  - Peanut/Tone
  - Banana/Volume

So, is this secret out now, or what?
Own up Nicky, are you getting rich on these amps, or???

[twistedtom]

He has been working in Monkey Labs on that one.

[monkey man]

Oh crap. Foiled again, and this time it wasn't by the infamous, award-winning journalist Billy. I must be losin' my marketing mojo. Great piece of work, BKK.

Glad you noticed the MonkeyLabs' flavour in the design, silk screening and general funkiness of the products. Tom is right - the team had to be locked up for 6 months as it worked towards completion of the project; I deemed NDAs insufficient for a break-through, "branch-out" endeavour such as this one.

Alas, all that effort and dozens of employees kept from their families for six months, and all for... nought, thanks to BKK's stunning journalistic flair and attention to detail. Were it not for the pics, denial would have been an option if only to eek out a few more days of silence, but it wasn't to be.

I hereby nominate Mr. Oz for the 2011 E-Steamed Grand Poobah of Pooparazzi™ Award. Yay.

Off to start counting my poojected losses. Thanks mate.

So what's your market share compared to BarfRankGear?

[monkey man]

Firstly, Phil, I've registered "BarfRankGear" as a component of my comprehensive phrase-lease product range. It was originally BarfRingGer, then BarfRingGear, and now thanks to you, it's BarfRankGear. A Barf Ring is obviously a dunny, but it's been said that MonkeyLabs' Industries'™ is at times poocentric. The "Rank" description is fitting in this case, so I'll go with it. Thanks!

Finally, Monkey gets one up on... someone. Hooray! It's mine now, hear Phil? Mine.

EDIT: In my phrase-lease-induced excitement I almost forgot your question, Phil:
Taking a leaf out of SOS's book (magazine?), I'll have to poll my customers, as well as BarfRankGear's. Of course, I'll advertise the poll somewhere, set up an obscure site somewhere else featuring a voting procedure befitting of the clowns who seek out such things. That'll learn 'em. All's I wants is their cash anyway.... did I say that? Naughty Monkey!

Too much excitement here. Time for a MonkeyLabs MoodBuster Transient After-Dinner Perception Cookie™. That'll learn me... for about 6 hours at any rate.

[Phil O]

Actually it was a mistake. I think I just misquoted you.
But, glad to have expanded your trade-name list.

[BKK-OZ]

Ahhhh...

The truth always comes out, eventually.
Well, with the royalties, the honorariums, the attention from the Pooparazi, and all the rest that comes with being an international man of business, just be careful you don't get a nose-bleed from livin' at such a high altitude, dude!!

But seriously, that song embedded in the landing page on the site... did you have to, did you have to???

Oh crap. Foiled again, and this time it wasn't by the infamous, award-winning journalist Billy. I must be losin' my marketing mojo.

I knew about it, but you made me sign an NDA, and I promise I wasn't the one who leaked this!

[uney]

thanks for useful information...

[kassonica]

I love how the Poo knob doesn't go to 10 or even 11 but to infinity

[BKK-OZ]

thanks for useful information...

Sorry for forcing you to read this thread.

[monkey man]

Yeah, we're overdue for self whippin's anyways. Here fellas, try these on for cries... [hands out braided leather items...]
Context. Nothing is anything without context...

Billy, thank you for obeying your NDA. I knew I could trust you, hence my decision to not lock you up like all those employees. Good boy! A reward awaits your collection at the MonkeyLabs Industries™ reception area. Just ask for package D. Hint: There's over a dollar there - unprecedented generosity from the Monkster himself.

Kass, that's an ass-chute and pootinent observation, bud. Nothing like infinite poo. Heaven.

BK, sorry about that song; let's just blame the marketing folks for that one. Thank you for the sound advice, by the way; I'm already packin' super-absorbent tissues.

I received Package D, but all that was inside was an IOU for one aussie dollar. So I promptly took it to the bank and placed it in a secure safe deposit box. Phew.

I also survived the experience of being in your lab, which between the flinging projectiles and banana peels laying about at random locations throughout the facility, made me glad I had the hazard pay clause in my contract.

That's hilarious what a great site.
I want one

What will they do for an encore?
