I knew I could come up with a good reason to go out tonight if I tried hard enough!

You don't have to fast, although some Orthodox Gorilla Suiters do.

I initially read that as "You don't have to fart."

I think Don Martin would have liked it better that way.

Gorilla Foundation rocked by breast display lawsuit

Personally, I think one day a year is discriminatory. Gorillas should have equal access to the courts.

But for which country? Due to the dearth of artificially hirsute people walking around the UK today, I suspect that it's not mine. Not that I actually own the UK

God, already? It seems like just yesterday was National Inane Answering Message Day.

Funny! A friend wrote me to tell me this an hour ago, and sent a picture of himself in costume. I mistook his holiday-sanctioned weirdness for generic weirdness. My bad, Spike.

Apparently he got himself filmed on live FOX news for his troubles.

No no, you have to post this the day before. Now that I'm at work, I'm dressed all wrong.

It's just another made-up holiday to line the pockets of the gorilla-suit manufacturers. Like Hannukah.

Are you doubting the Holy Word of Don Martin, infidel?

I fear I may have made a terrible mistake.
