OK this monkey thing has gone too far.... I know I tolerated poo being flung in my apt but mailing it to me from MN is too much.

I'm so glad you came to Minneapolis, Pete. What's this burner choir I hear mention of?

You have a wonderful soul and are a bright light in our midst. We are better for having you with us. 'Twixt the booty-shakin' and the monkey dancin' lie many good times.

Thanks for being here, Brother.

Pete, you're on your way. You're halfway here, halfway to the epicenter. Come Monkey, Come! There are a lot of bananas here, you know...

I hereby charge Pete with the Twin Cities Burner Choir, to follow its rousing success in DC.

That would of course assume we're letting him leave, of course. Kidnapping plans are underway. What are we without our mascot, after all?

Seriously, though, Pete rocks. A great dancer and devoted tenor. He's an awesome monkey too!
