    lol. Up till I heard that saying I was all, like, “more fun than a barrel of lemurs” or some shit. Glad to see everyone else was having trouble.

    Otto: Oh, I’ve been playing. But some things can’t be suppressed.

    Mark: Yes. It really was troubling me. Now I’m concerned as to whether or not lemurs have MORE fun than monkeys…

    You should submit this to McSweeney’s - they have a whole category for funny lists and stuff. This is right up their alley. Plus, your name is Sweeney. Theirs is McSweeney’s - it’s like you have an instant bond.
