the jolly chimp

the jolly chimp may be my nemesis, this bad plush toy is no beanie babie ~

the stuff of my nightmares ~

i used to have one way back in the day ~

but it was evil & too unsettling to keep in the house ~

i blame stephen king for this fear, among others, like the fear of hearing voices from my bathroom sink when alone at night, or the terror i felt when encountering a balloon tied beside my car in a rainy isolated parking lot ~

so anyway i sold my jolly chimp to some poor soul on ebay years ago ~

box & all ~

but then as i've mentioned, i recently have become fully immersed in the fallout universe ~

& i encountered them there! ~

for those who don't know, you press his head to activate him ~

he will bare his teeth & his eyes will light up as he makes a jarring racket ~

then he'll start clanging his cymbals & someone will die! ~

well, ever since fallout i've either gotten braver or crazier? ~

jolly chimps sent from hell! ~

i decided i wanted to get one again ~

& strangely i immediately found this old beat-up one for cheap at a local vintage sale ~

his battery case is rusted out so there'll be no clanging of death cymbals ~

so yes, now he's back, a lost & found toy ~

he sits way up high on a shelf in our playroom ~

but i swear if i ever even think i hear cymbals he's gone.
