Surprisingly I did too however my German immigrant grandmother grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Chicago so perhaps I have some inside knowledge. ;)

That was fun being able to get into the mind of the "howler monkey".

It was interesting during the middle of football season here, that there were letters to the editor & articles written here in the local paper concerning sportsmanship.

About six months ago, just for fun, I sent in my "howler monkey language" stuff, which I posted on this forum quite some time ago. I'd forgotten all about sending it in, but imagine my surprise when I opened my paper this morning and there it was! :eek:
