That's just to irritate Frank. I have no idea why he hates monkies so. If only he'd take my advice about broiling them with plenty of garlic and lots of butter, maybe he'd come around.
I think the current monkey-hatred has something to do with this, but monkeys are a recurring theme on IMAO.
In the interest of further quantifying the blogosphere, I decided to see if Frank posts about monkeys more than other bloggers. Using the magic of Google, I compared the frequency of monkey (or monkeys or monkies)-references on IMAO with that of this site and, chosen at random, Cato the Youngest.
Results:
This site: 3 monkeys/177 posts=1.7% monkey usage rate;
Cato the Youngest: 2 monkeys/911 posts=0.2% monkey usage rate;
IMAO: 43 monkeys/590 posts = 7.3% monkey usage rate.
Conclusion: Frank J. really hates monkeys. Of course, monkeys are funny, too.

That said, I think I'll add you to the massive blogroll for reminding me.
