I'm outta this multi-horse town for the weekend (there are 3 horses) but there's something I realized today...something magical and wonderful that I want to share with the world:

Monkeys in gifs. Monkeys in gifs! Guys, why did you let me get this far (37 posts?!) without realizing that Monkeys have a near-cat value in gif format?

Well I promised I would adapt to this ever changing world without compromising or selling out to the man so here's my scoring change (and since there have been no monkeys to date, this will not have any effect on any previous scores.)

From now own, monkeys will carry a 3-point bonus. I will argue TO THE DEATH that nothing can replace a cat, and every scientist in the world will agree (including that argumentative asshole Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Zombie Neils Bohr)

And also unlike cats, I don't think you can penalize a gif with NO monkeys in it. No-cats is an imperfect gif, we can all agree (shut up Neil/Neils) but a gif with many cats and no monkeys would certainly still be capable of greatness.

So yes, this monkey is getting hammied, and here's it's score:

HUMOUR: 5/5 - The monkey is drinking a beer

THEME: 5/5 - We are all this monkey and this monkey is us.

AESTHETIC: 3/5 - its small, black and white, low res. And yet... "I want to paint you, drunk monkey" - Leo DiCaprio in Baby Geniuses 5: Time Travel Titanic Babies - featuring Travis the monkey as 'Captain Giggles'

WATCHABILITY: 5/5

CATS: No cats.

MONKEY BONUS: THREE (3) POINTS! I love this bonus.
