So Creepy They're Cute

I mentioned our bedside lamps in this post when I talked about how I like to name things around here.  There were a *ton* of hilarious comments on that post which you should go read if you missed them.

This is Savannah Monkey.  The one on Andrew's bedside table is Theodore (Teddy) Monkey.  They are the most wonderful and creepy bedside lamps ever.  I totally love anthropomorphic animals!  The monkey part of the lamp is only 4 inches tall.  They are tiny.

For seven years, they've watched over us as we sleep.  Either they are protecting us or planning our demise ... I'm not sure which.

They are soooo scary! I think I'd be too scared to sleep with them in the room (yes I'm a big chicken). Sometimes I wake up and get startled by just a regular lamp that's always been there at the end of our bed. Imagine if I had a Savannah or Theodore monkey, I'd have to sleep with the lights on. Oh wait but then I'd have to look at them. I'd have to sleep with them outside.

Those aren't cute... they're evil! And most definitely plotting your demise.

I think the double comment was caused by a bug in your robot foiler - I got an error message saying I entered the text wrong, but my comment had already posted.

They look like they should be bigger but they are definitely cool. They do remind me of that one Stephen King book with the monkey that plays the cymbals.

I, too, have a monkey lamp! It was recently given to us as a house-warming gift from my mother and holds pride of place in our living room. Most people haven't noticed that it's a monkey, but when they do, it's like a little surprise. :)
