Monkey Chow Diaries

They say laughter is good medicine. If so, I won't be having any major illnesses for at least a year. I ran across this old but hysterical blog series by a guy who decided to eat nothing but monkey chow for a week. He's not doing it to lose weight. He's not even overweight. But he thinks it's an interesting experiment because it would save him a lot of money, he wouldn't have to prepare meals, and he would have no dishes to wash if he switched to monkey chow.

You must watch the videos; they are hilarious. On Day 4 he says he understands why monkeys are so violent. By Day 6 he is so desperate that he soaks a piece of kibble in vodka overnight and then proceeds to eat it. His reaction is recorded on video, and you'll just have to watch it for yourself. I cannot come up with words to describe it.

He also answers a question about what he is thinking. He says he thinks about people who are eating more than he is, and he is considering killing them and taking their popcorn chicken.
