    Canada is sweet. Any time I've seen a monkey at the Atlanta IKEA, they're always wearing an SEC school t-shirt and baggy cargo shorts.

    off-topic, who is teaching reporters to write like this:
    "It must be somebody’s pet because he was wearing a jacket," the Ikea
    spokesperson said earlier, referring to the monkey, which was wearing a
    miniature, brown, shearling-type jacket.


    And Exhibit A:
    Fortuntaly [sic], the woman was ultimately allowed to vote. "The woman was ultimately allowed to vote," the local report reads.

    I'm glad it had a coat. Toronto can get some bitter cold snaps this time of year.

    I'm the closest we have to an ALOTT5MA correspondent in Toronto, and it was a giddy, monkey filled afternoon. The fact that he was wearing a little shearling coat just made the story. Took about 30 minutes for an @ikeamonkey account to start.

  7. I love that it didn't take long for the Mayoral #ikeamonkey2013 hashtag to appear either.

  8. The decision of the Maple Leafs to grow "lockout beards" proved unfortunate.

  9. Did we ever find out if the monkey was wearing a green dress under that jacket? And was it a cruelty-free green dress?
