it seems dr. drake is pretty proud of his monkey, and rightfully so - creative, funny. Dude even showed up with Styrofoam cups with the logo on them for the car-bar at MGRW.
So this weekend, after a kid comes up to me (i was wearing a monkey hat) and requested some monkey swag i decided THAT WAS IT!
Our next Texas Viper stop is the first weekend in May - DCYC Leukemia cup. Team Animal will be breaking out a new logo that will feature ANIMAL with seamonkey in lets say... a submissive pose. The Mrs. has even given the nod for a new spinnaker (well, she didn't throw anything at me!).
But I gotta say, i think the viper fleet has some pretty entertaining flavor.
David Furma came out with a logo'd kite made by the DB guys... I didn't get a good look but rumor has it she's cute. Then there's Robert Millers' mud-flap-girl.... Not to be outdone by the New Orleans boys "last call" spinnaker.
But this is a public call-out to the monkey-boy. It's on..
Don't forget about the panda. We have the kite and gear as well (quick dry shirts, short and long sleeved). Spraytops are a new level though.
That was one angry Panda in 2011. Looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store.
Where am I going to put the logos for those nice people from Switzerland?
The panda kite will make limited cameos in 2012...probably just Charleston/ACC, Larchmont Memorial Day, NAs and HPDO. It'll be the blinding neon the rest of the time for Wickford, all the local Larchmont Viper Saturdays, Larchmont Race Week, YRALIS Champs and the Stamford Viper Open...it may even stay in the bag for New Englands.

FEAR THE ANIMAL
panda? monkey? fear the panda? fear the monkey?
HA! i did want to see that angry panda spinnaker, maybe one of these days.
I can just imagine hiking on a J105 watching all these crazy kites zoom down-wind.
life's short, personalize your spinnaker!
Jeesh Jeffy why all the hostility? I mean, I tow my boat out to New Orleans so you can get a ride........ I let your wife borrow my wife so she can have crew.......
You take your kids spray top instead of yours so I let you use mine (Monkey and all)......I set up a bar with rum and beer (courtesy of yours truly) and you seem to enjoy the monkey cups.....I give you a monkey hat so you can warm that big ass head of yours.........
And now you want war?
Man maybe it's cause I had some creativity and came up with the idea and paid a graphic artist to make a kick ass logo, when all you could do is steal a Jim Henson character and claim him as your own (did you know that there is a brand of lubricant named "animal" complete with pictures and all?)
All because some kid comes up to you and wants some Monkey Swag?
I'm not sure you want to get into a war amigo.
I'll be there at DCYC. Beware what you ask for (hint: I have the number of your artist friend you are hoping to use. I can be very persuasive..........)
1st.. i think a lot of that rum was donated in return for mast brackets or trailer bunks? Ok, you supplied the cups (not very environmentally friendly by the way)
and then there was something about passing out in your guest room and in the morning finding a borrowed bathing suite on my bathroom floor?
I think i've paid it forward.
oh, there will be war. Im trying trying to figure out what a mambo king is so i can spread the love a little
wait, say it aint so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhIV0SbPGV4
still got my doyle boston cap?

The arms race continues.
Think I need a job before I try to get in to this arms race...
I dont know about that Sole, old spinnaker, sharpie and a bit of creativity will get you a long way.

Drake, I think I've sailed on your boat for at least 2 regattas which should qualify me for some monkey swag. Well, maybe one more regatta, but I'm sure that won't be a problem this year unless you did some permament damage on the bull that I don't know about yet.
I can see it now....North Americans in Houston 2013 with 50 creature-like kites coming down Galveston Bay at speed.

So... A martini glass? Handgun? Knife? Scantily clad woman in a compromising position??? That clip doesn't help much!
Wait, I've got it. Shiny double-breasted white dinner jackets as crew gear!
El Rey?

We are the Mambo Kings!
not sure one typically see's the dip / spin move during a mambo.... but from what i've seen on the water you certainly have that one down
ANIMAL
"Gybe" is one of my trigger words.
oh look honey, a mechanical bull
ooh, that kinda hurt
ah boy, yep... monkey's hurt
We don't need no stinking crew gear to race hard and be put away wet! For our next race my crew will be naked!!! Hey, what happened to my crew. Don't understand why nobody wants to sail with me. :)
Hmmmm, I think I do...... :P
kevin, found crew-shirts for you... 13.00 each.
... let's have a party

Animal and Monkey are too scarit to show up for Charleston?
Pull
Lob
Duck.
This is war not tiddliwinks.
We ain't goin because were skeered.
Well, monkey ain't goin, I'll be there with big bad el paso bob. So it's on like donkey kong.
Probably a good thing long term for team mambo- this will give you a chance to determine if your performance anxiety is caused by me or monkey.

Donkeys, monkeys, animals ?
To each their own. All y'all been spending too much time with the livestock.
Looking forward to a show down in Charleston!
Is there anything we can do to help the monkey with his self esteem problem and fear of crowds? Lots of good crew available.
It aint crowds I fear, it's unemployment and the ability to afford my wife that I fear
Works been a real kick in the groin lately, no bull

There's a plan. You pay for the wives and we'll go sailing.
Mine is happy with a modest monthly bank transfer. I'll send you the bank sort code.
Jeff's just wants a new car.
Dan's wants everything, so I would keep clear of that if I were you
Came across this today. Made me think of Texas.

We'll be eating "pork chops" for BBQ at Charleston Race Week. Yum Yum.
Roasted Monkey on a spit at the NAs ?
Its time to make peace not war and I am going to hold out the olive branch by starting a series on Vipers and their loved ones.
In this picture, this hot chick is looking adoringly at the Viper driver and saying to herself "Honey you look so much more handsome driving a full sized Viper"
Good to see such active crew work going on in the boat!
It hurts me to admit this, but I think I'm actually going to miss the Animal on the start line at the NAs next week.
This will be the first NAs in four years when he hasnt been messing with me on the race course and causing havoc in the tent. I'm going to miss the sob.
With the Bermudans bringing their 140 % proof, the Aussies bringing Bundys, and Timbo bringing the class doll...... we'll have to raise a toast to "absent friends" and y'all better expect a 2 am call!

I think the doll went to ride a cactus last I saw her.. she got pricked
I will see if her twin sister can come :)
