Early in 2006 I heard that 20th Century Fox was releasing every Planet of the Apes thing they could find on a super-mega DVD boxed set.
The set included all the old Apes flicks (and the pathetic Tim Burton film,) every episode of the Planet of the Apes TV series and every episode of the Apes cartoon.
This seemed interested. But, what was REALLY interesting was the DVD case:
IT'S A FREAKIN' APE HEAD!
Whoa boy! A very well made, and almost full sized ape head. His name is Caesar, and while I have yet to figure out which film Caesar is in, Caesar is my favorite character in the whole series.
I even made Caesar a myspace.com page
Caesar is from Afton, Oklahoma.
Get it?
No, not unless you live there. Then you would laugh and laugh. See, that's where "Monkey Island" is located.
The other jokes are not really that "inside."
Caesar's Blurbs

Did you get all the jokes? Did you just say "ALL the jokes? That was just ONE joke over and over."
Yes, it was.
That isn't the only place on the web that Caesar's presence was felt. He also popped up on the Disney message board micechat.com.
Caesar was modeling some of my Disneyland head wear.
If you have ever been to a Disney park, you know the type of hat I speak of. It's one of those crazy over-sized hats that no rational adult would ever be caught dead wearing.
Caesar is NOT a rational adult. Neither am I.
Here are the hats he modeled:
This is my Chicken Little hat. I got it free with a purchase of a few dozen Pop Tarts. I'll let you try it on if you stop by. Plus you can get all the strawberry Pop Tarts you can eat.
My Donald Duck's butt hat. Yeah, having the hindquarters of a a waterfowl on my head makes me look like I am having much more fun.
My Yeti hat. This one was made in conjunction with the Everest ride at Animal Kingdom, however, the hat IS bi-coastal since the Yeti is also the star of Disneyland's Matterhorn Mountain.
Thank goodness or else I would have trouble looking ridiculous in California.
This is my Frontierland hat. I once got into an argument with a moron who rode the tram and just had no manners. It almost got violent. I wonder if he could have gotten as mad at me if I had Donald Duck's tush on my head that day.
Anyway, that is what Caesar contributed to OTHER sites on the internet. It feels good to finally have him seen right here on bunchojunk.com.
BTW, in fairness to him, CRAIG helped create Caesar's myspace.com page.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness to me, he didn't help very much.
Awesome, but don't start carrying him around everywhere like Al Snow.
ReplyDeleteWhy have you blurred the Mice Chat image? Is it accusing William Kennedy Smith of something?
ReplyDeleteAl Snow used to be a real wrestler before the WWF got ahold of him. Oh, wait this post was about a monkey head.
ReplyDeleteYeah, remember when Al Snow was in ECW? Job Squad ruled!
ReplyDeleteI remember when he was Avatar. I thought of him when I saw your "Mice Chat" Avatar.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching Al Snow in Smoky Mountain wrestling around 94-95 and he was hilarious and a sound wrestler as well.
ReplyDeleteKill some bosses too? Please? OK, guess it's obvious what's on MY mind.
