Planet Of The Bubbie
I was trolling Facebook on Saturday afternoon and spotted this shot. For a second there, I thought my late bubbie (grandma) had dyed her hair black and thrown on a picnic tablecloth. Actually, it turns out Carolyn Graham just went to a garage sale.

That DOES look like a picnic tablecloth. I haven't seen one of those in years! Though I have no idea what a "bubbie" is.

And the Lord said, "Let there be Bing," and there was Bing. (Let there be no Google, since they give your user information to the government.)
"Bubbie" is apparently from the Yiddish "bubeleh," meaning "grandmother."

Thanks for clarifying,darlin'. I thought it was some kind of monkey, but you didn't seem like the type to go for exotic pets.

That looks like something from the original Planet of the Apes.
