I was browsing at Tina’s One Stop Shop over the weekend with my daughter, and a nice and slightly-weird-but-not-scary lady bought this item for my daughter “in the spirit of the holidays.” His name is Muzzley, and in my daughter’s words he is a “freaky monkey in a leopard suit that I can’t play with” but we love him anyway. And by “love him” I mean we place him around the house to surprise each other. He was originally a marionette and was attached to a swing but that broke as soon as we got old Muzzley home. The woman who brought him into our lives vanished down the street but I hope she knows that despite his freakyness Muzzley has actually brought us a great deal of joy the last few days. It’s a regular Christmas miracle on the streets of Midtown!
By the way if the name “Tina’s One Stop Shop” doesn’t ring a bell, you may know it as that junk shop on J Street across from what used to be Taco Loco. It is one of my favorite retail establishments on the planet.

… it’s got a bit of a hannibal lecter / sasquatch / skin-graft-on-forehead / drag queen feel to it.
i’m finding that if you stare at it long enough, the eyes -do- follow you.
fur is dead, baby.

Cha-ka! Yes, the resemblance is uncanny down to there being something funky going on in the forehead region…

This is too much like the Twilight Zone episode. Leave a light on at night just to be safe. Or rotate the sleeping shifts.
