1. What do monkeys like to eat? - bananas, there is a giant war going on right now where clowns have set up circuses in the jungle to harvest bananas for their peels, they use them in their act. Monkeys hate this because they are stripping the jungle they also like ant hills so maybe they have one of those in a bowl vs a bowl of fruit
2. Do monkeys like flowers, or do they maim some other living thing to stick in a vase for their personal viewing pleasure? - monkeys would have a tasteful reminder of the jungle something that shows their roots, I have seen monkeys have grass planted in bowls, and some like sculpture that looks like clockwork as they are proud that they can use tools, They also enjoy puzzles and blocks that they can stack, something to fiddle with.
3. Do monkeys sit up straight and walk tall, or are they still swinging around (does the kitchen need 'vines' or poles)? - these monkeys are ambivalent about their old ways, proud of where their from and how far they’ve come, but always trying to prove that they have evolved, and hate it when clowns patronize them, always afraid of looking stupid, but don’t “get” clowns, because their sense of humor is fetal. They do walk with hunches still, but poles and monkey bars are for strip clubs where some have been seen sneaking off to vent latent jungle memories.
4. Are monkeys vain? (ie: like mirrors) – monkeys are very vain and all about appearing civil, and still pick nits out of each others hair. They can get obsessive and stare and comb and pick. Some have that neurosis of skin picking until they break the skin. They all have bugs in their hair no mater what.
5. Do monkeys eat off of plates & w/ silverware? – plates, no silverware, they are communal and always eating of each others plates. They are touchy and always touching each other when communicating. Clown hate that because it is all about the separation between performer and audience.
6. Do monkeys cook??? – I imagine they are into a raw diet. So preparation with stirring chopping and beating without much fire or baking. They can use a microwave. They like watching the carousel move the food in circles, it seems productive.
7. What's the weather like where the monkeys live (tropical? mountain?)? – They are all over but congregate in cities since they have all the jobs. They would like green and I can picture outside the sliding glass door a porch looking out on mountains, so mountains, they built cities on top of mountains.
8. Do monkey's recycle? – yes because they hate the frivolous and wasteful.
9. Do monkey's wear shoes? (what will the floor be like...) No monkey’s wear shoes, they would like a nice warm textured floor. Interesting carpet.
10. Do monkey's drink coffee? – Hell yes, and go to 1950’s beatnik coffee bars and are major coffee snobs. They are paranoid about anything but coffee being in their coffee.
10a. Do monkey's smoke? (just had to ask ;) Cigars. Cigerettes, cigerellos, and constantly. They would have ashtrays everywhere.
