DM once saved an entire nest of South American wallowcocks from a out of control bulldozer while on vacation in the Southwest part of Colorado, these rare birds where later studied at the Central Newark Institute of Medical Aviantology by the great Dr. Phineas Rupe, who's only daughter, Jessica, sat behind me on a slow bus ride to the museum of Dr. Pepper in Waco, Texas. As she lazily traced figure eights with her pencil on the backpack I was wearing, I felt my ears become warm and eyes melt into my cheeks; but lately all he does is take good pictures.

We all know what happens if you give a thousand monkeys a thousand typewriters and a thousand years. Sammy has done the very same experiment, only with bottles of liquor instead of typewriters. And he doesn't snore at all.

DM, photographs, cocktails. Alcohol, is the main stay in any good photographer's kit, thereby putting in the league of gentlemen. Just don't get in a taxi with him.

Drunken Monkey likes my packaging, and I have to say, his ain't so bad either.

We all know of Drunken Monkey's finesse with liquid. It is his pure and unadulterated appreciation of an Hungarian KISS cover band that puts him and his pictures culturally miles ahead of any of us.

Sometimes when you first meet someone it's as if you've known them forever. Reincarnation, anyone?

He's the top Banana! He's A Monkey, A Monkey Barman, A Monkey Barman Photographer, a drunken monkey barman photographer with style grace and panache. Plotting to take over the planet from his Secret Hill Top Lair one Cocktail at a time.

Drunken Monkey lives in a world of pretty liquids. These liquids are so pretty they will take your breath away and put the hammer to your silly inhibitions. I mean, I would write this with my top off if it wasn't so damn cold today. Drunken Monkey also takes pictures of people like he likes them. Not everyone around he… Read more

Drunken Monkey lives in a world of pretty liquids. These liquids are so pretty they will take your breath away and put the hammer to your silly inhibitions. I mean, I would write this with my top off if it wasn't so damn cold today. Drunken Monkey also takes pictures of people like he likes them. Not everyone around here can do that. So I appreciate Drunken Monkey's pictures and the mixed drinks set...let a smile be your paper umbrella.

Something rude or nasty about DM? Is there any other kind of comment to make about this elitist, power-plant-know-it-all liberal snob? He's so far out there in la-la land, he makes the pacifists in the Liberal Democrats look like the Hitler Youth! But he does have one snazzy mobile phone.

DM tells it like it is, (just wait til he leaves a comment on your photo) and for a photographer, he sure knows how to drink! (or so I've been told)

"Do you remember the light-box my dad pinched from the hospital that I used to put my demijohn bong on?" Drunken Monkey takes interesting pictures - there are lots of people on flickr who do that. His comments however are in a league of their own.

I have no clue what monkey bollocks are, but I can say DM runs with the big dogs.. and does it well. In fact, these dogs adore him. but won't specifically tell me why. Is he feeding them? And if so, why?

He's the Monkey's bollocks and doesn't mind drinking with the dogs.

drunken monkey serves his cocktails with a dose of humor and extra alcohol. for a drunk photographer, his shots are amazingly well focused. be careful though, he just might eat your brain!

My favourite bar monkey, he makes daquiris worth drowning in. More limes please!
