Monkey Glands

Monkey glands. More monkey glands. Monkey glands ahoy. More glands than you can shake a monkey at. More fun than a barrel of monkey glands.

The last two films contain monkey glands as a plot element.

I'm not sure if the first link was really a good idea for medicine. Here's some monkey trouble that I wouldn't want near my body.

Well the tags certainly are appropriate to the topic.

goat glands:

Brinkley went to work, implanting a bit of goat gonad in Stittsworth's testicle. Within weeks the farmer was back to thank the doctor for giving him back his libido. And when his wife gave birth to a boy, whom they appropriately named Billy...

I drank my first monkey gland last weekend. Right tasty, it was. Don't know how I'd overlooked it for so long.

Thanks, PenDevil. You saved me the trouble. I haven't touched the stuff. I'm not fond of South Africa's idea of 'tasty', which seems to be a choice of too-sweet, too-hot, and too-bland. And monkey gland has this name, you know?

The monkeys that raid my house when they see the chance have robin's-egg-blue balls. Now that's some monkey glands! Last week, one discovered he could fit through the open window, burglar bars and all. He missed the bread and made off with a sack of bananas. Lots of fun at 6:45 on a Sunday morning.

I ate a Monkey Gland in a Greek restaurant a couple of years ago, adrenal, I think, not sure what kind of monkey (it was just listed on the specials board as 'Monkey Gland'). Not exactly delicious.

It was labeled Budweiser.

As a proud South African, I'm shocked that anyone would claim that our fine cusine is a "choice of too-sweet, too-hot and too-bland". As any South African worth his salt will tell you, the great achievement of our culinary prowess is creating dishes that are simultaneously too-hot, too-sweet and too-bland. No bloody choice about it.

Messing with peanuts, outraging dandelions,
intrepid solacers of delinquent oak-leaves.
