#3 Poor baboons are just jealous that the children get such special treatment.

Why don't they just invite the poor baboons to lunch instead of making them crash the party?

#5 For some reason, I thought this was going to be about Palestinians.

I guess there is a difference between Hamas baboons and Hamadryas baboons. Never mind.

#7 Hey, hey, they're just monkeys, and people say they monkey around, but they're too busy storming church halls to put anybody down. They're probably just trying to be friendly, so come watch them sing and play. They're with the primate classification, and they've got something to say.

#10 Sounds like the baboons are just copying the humans in that part of the world . . . It's a baboon jihad!

Seriously--that had to be frightening to the little ones, but the baboons are animals, and are just trying to survive. Not enough natural food for them in their natural habitat, evidently.

#11 I have believed for some years that monkeys and their relatives were plotting to overthrow human civilization.
That's right, you think they are cute hairy little bare-ass creatures, but don't let the sly beasts fool you!
Someday the signal will come and awaken the conciousness of every ape, monkey, and baboon... spider monkeys and lemurs, too. Then the little bastards are going to rip and sack their way through the unsuspecting nations of the Earth.

Many leading humans have been aware of this simian conspiracy for some time. Why do you think experienced ape-fighter Charlton Heston was named to lead the NRA a few years ago? Heston is out of it now, but others have taken his place in preparing our resistance.
Stock up on ammo, guns, and bananas! I plan to hold my ground.
No monkey is going to piss in my toilet, that's for damn sure!

#12 Can we be sure that all of our posters are loyal humans?
Couldn't one or more of them be the proverbial monkey pecking at a keyboard, sent here to spy out the Rantburg Resistance Front?
Hmmmm?

#15 This is by no means an isolated incident:
Monkey uprising overruns Bangladeshi town.
Monkeys terrorize Indian government.
Monkeys invade Indian embassy in Nepal.
(An alliance with Maoist rebels perhaps?)

The conspiracy seems concentrated in the Indian subcontinent. An attempt to gain control of Indian or Pakistani nuclear weapons at an early stage?

#16 AC, don't you mean the Resistence Front of Rantburg?
Sorry...I couldn't stop myself...

#17 AC, I don't think so.

The monkeys are way too bright to be Maoists. Probably unreconstructed Trotskyites.

#18 I hate them all from Chimpan A to Chimpanze!

Just keep an eye out for whoever starts typing some Shakespeare.
