Why sock monkeys are better than men:
Written by ScentofGardenias
1. They never try to take over the conversation.
2. They never take credit for your ideas.
3. They are happy to cuddle anytime without any expectations.
4. They will go to the ballet without complaining.
5. They are always the life of the party but never get drunk.
6. They don't care when you dance with someone else.
7. They don't hold a grudge when you ignore them for a week.
8. They like to dance with you.
9. They don't watch sports.
10. They never tell you your dress makes your butt look too big.
11. They never hog the covers.
12. They never snore.

Death of a Sock Monkey
We are sad to announce that on February 10, 2008, Lucius M. Monkey passed away. With the otherworldly, multiphonic Tibetan Book of the Dead chants playing in the background, Lucius crossed over to the other side. He left behind a note for his family and friends.
Read the letter that Lucius left behind.
You can learn more about his history and family tree.
His legacy lives on.
R.I.P. LUCIUS.

(編み包み, Amigurumi lit. Knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
Amigurumi are usually crocheted or knitted out of yarn. The simplest designs are worked in spirals. In contrast to typical Western crochet the rounds are not usually joined. They are also worked with a smaller size hook in proportion to the weight of the yarn in order to create a very tight-looking fabric without any gaps through which the stuffing might escape. Amigurumi are usually worked in sections and then joined, except for some amigurumi which have no limbs, only a head and torso which are worked as one piece. The extremities are sometimes stuffed with plastic pellets to give them a life-like weight, while the rest of the body is stuffed with fiber stuffing.
The pervading aesthetic of amigurumi is cuteness. To this end, typical amigurumi animals have an over-sized spherical head on a cylindrical body with undersized extremities.
The art of Amigurumi originated from Japan.

Sock Monkey History

the Baby Daddy of all Sock Monkeys!

John Nelson manufactured the red heeled sock at his factory, Nelson Knitting Mills, that became the genesis of the Sock Monkey plaything, eternally etched into our Americana toy history.
The Midway Village Museum of Rockford, Illinois has preserved Sock Monkey history for posterity. The original Sock Monkey used in the patent litigation that won Rockford the title "Home of the Sock Monkey" is on display.
If Rockford, Illinois isn't on your Summer agenda, you can do your Sock Monkey retail therapy by mail order. The Museum Gift Shop has some great Sock Monkey stuff for sale!
Obama Sock Monkey Redux
Above: The Original Sock Obama
The New Obama Monkey. Much ado was made over the purported "racism" of the Sock Obama when it went on sale back in early June. No doubt, mob mentality caused the website owners to close up their online sales. Quietly, a new Obama Monkey has returned online for sale.
Personally, I'm happy to see free enterprise prevail. You don't like it. Don't buy it.
I don't support bully tactics.

In this election year we possess the freedom to vote for the candidate of our choice.
Let us not forget that we also have the choice to avert our eyes and click on the X in the upper right hand of the screen if we find a product distasteful or outright offensive.
I respect anyone's right to voice their protest. However, I was disgusted by the threats of violence and mayhem over a doll. Call me simple minded. It's a doll.
A marketing gimic in a campaign year. Check out the crap on Cafe Press. You can buy a G-string emblazoned with the face of your favorite candidate. BTW, where was the uproar over the Hillary Clinton Nutcracker that was sold online?
Double standard? Nah. Hypocrisy!
The new website gives the Republicans equal time with a McCain Monkey. Somehow, I doubt it will sell as well as the new Obama version. The new Obama doll is pictured with longer sleeved suit jacket and longer pants. And yes, I did order an Obama Monkey. It's a collectible toy in a historical election year. It's the first time in history that an African-American and a woman ran a high profile campaign for the Democratic nomination to be elected as the President of the United States of America. That is what should be remembered from campaign 2008.
