Would like to thank Axeugene27 on nominating the Monkey for BOTM ! I unfortunately had to decline under the fact its not done but close and hope when done will make it up there !!!

Oh there was no comfort there... That pic was taken shortly after Brad decided to drunken arm wrestle my 275lb ex semi pro hockey player brother in law. To his credit, Brad won. He still can't use his arm 7 months later, but he deserves that for trying to hit me with a samurai sword. That was a good night. Haha...
