A Year in the Life of a Czech Plush Monkey.
This week's Monkeying around.

Opice not Opus

Allow me to clarify...

While the webmaster has the floor, he'd like to clear up some confusion overheard: Monkey's name is not "Opus."

Opice and Opus share many attributes; but they are very different non-beings.
Opus is avian, Antartican, and panelologistical.
Monkey is primate, Czech, and anthropomorphical.
Neither trusts anyone without a proboscis sized schnozzola.
Both respect anyone who's job title ends in -ologist or -saurous.
Please compare: Opice's Past, Opus' Present, and below.

Monkey pitches his case         
"What? You can't pronounce my name?"
On-camera friendship
1 of these things is not like the other.
        Note Opus' left wing
"Hey! Ape / Penguin, hello!?"

Opice = OH-pits-zeh Opus = OH-pus (sorry about that 2nd sylable)
Opice is Czech meaning "monkey" and worse. Opus is Latin meaning "work," which is bad enough.
Opice is arboreal, but prefers the tv couch. Opus is aquatic, but prefers the Sunday papers.
Opice only speaks thru his webmaster (a.k.a. slave). Opus speaks for himself and his slave (a.k.a. panelmaster).
Opice has never had a nose-job. Opus has had both a nose job and unjob renose... job.
Opice has no self-esteem issues unless you count megalomania. Opus thought finding his mother would solve his problems (note past tense).
Both are flightless, unpredictable, obsessive, caracatures who love classic Star Trek tv and that boffo new film Secondhand Lions.
Neither are anatomically or politically correct, nor show any visible means of support. Yet one might say they are userer friendly.
Opus has never heard of Monkey. Monkey has Opus's complete opus of literary opuses.
Opus is loved and appreciated by millions of readers worldwide. Monkey is appreciated and loved by tens of world-wide-web surfers.
Opus has been known to wear a fruit covered hat. Monkey is known to have fruit (and Carmen Miranda tendancies).
Opus travels at warp zillion speed. Monkey once hitched a ride on a wheelchair.
Opus lives in a world populated by basselopes and uppity roaches. Monkey lives in a world of lowly roachmotels (but at least they have cable).
They regularly defy their caregivers and go off on wild adventures at the drop of a (fruit covered) hat.
Each costs his chronicler hours of journalistic work recording their sudden, rapturous exploits.
One has attitude; the other neuroses, but it's a constant game of "you're it!" as to which has what.
