So, I’m all over the yellow drought flowers. [...] [...] I’m a fan of metaphor, symbols, and I know how the universe sometimes uses weeds, creepy monkeys, and free bags of ice to communicate.

I just bought some seedlings I’d like to plant on Sunday evening in tiny little starter pots and I can’t do that if I’m sweeping up broken glass and filing police reports, trying to take inventory of all the creepy monkeys stolen from my home. Plus, all the valuable stuff is locked up in the garage with the broken door hinge, so seriously, start there.)

If I remember right, "The Companion" was actually our son's, Dylan's, toy. I don't think he ever found it creepy. Because he was pure. Virginal in all senses. And I think you have your horror mythology backwards. It's the stoners and the sexually active that have to fear the consequences of sinfulness. The virgins eventually survive, although admittedly in shredded lingerie. Still they get to survive. But the degenerates. They're the ones that monkeys crave...

Crap, crap, crap.

Clearly, Jeffrey, you totally understand how the Creepy Monkey thing works. And thank goodness those Halliwell sisters finally overcame their differences to function as a team. (Wait, wasn't that the formulaic plot of *every* Charmed episode?) Nevermind. The important thing is that peace-loving citizens like yourself recognize the threat is real. Jeffrey, thanks for your comments, as always. I love 'em. Now THIS is practical advice.

Don't let the monkeys touch your eyes, ears, or mouth. A monkey did that to the Halliwell sisters on Charmed and one couldn't see, one couldn't hear, and the third couldn't talk. And then a demonic old lady nearly kidnapped the baby of the blind sister. They had to work together (a huge challenge since they were sisters) to save the day. Who knows how that old lady may have changed the world if she'd won. We could all be monkeys in your house. Whatever you do. Don’t let the monkeys touch your eyes, ears, or mouth.
