JENNR8R 0 #1 September 2, 2005 "Monkey" seems to be a very popular word in skydiving-related names. Can someone enlighten me on its significance?What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewGPM 0 #2 September 2, 2005 I'm going with the "spanking the monkey" as the tie in to the sport. Q. "why'd you start skydiving" A. "I got bored spanking the monkey all the time, I needed something else to on the weekends...." A case could also be made for the origin being someone being told he looked "like a monkey fuckin' a football"...as during a funneled exit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #3 September 2, 2005 Skymonkey: Chuck Blue has partied with you, likes you, and hats you. That, my dear, is as good as it gets. Now, getting a Monkey Name is even more of an occasion. HotMamaMonkey comes to mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotMamaMonkey comes to mind. Skys REPRESENT! Seriously though, I can see a correlation between wild monkey-like behavior and skydivers. However, unlike chimps taken skydiving, we usually manage to stay alive on each jump. Bonus points to anyone if they can name why real monkeys that have been put in solo skydiving rigs die.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #7 September 2, 2005 Skymonkey: Chuck Blue has partied with you, likes you, and hats you. That, my dear, is as good as it gets. ----------- That doesn't explain why Chuck Blue chose Skymonkey. Certainly that must be an interesting story. ------------ Now, getting a Monkey Name is even more of an occasion. HotMamaMonkey comes to mind. ------------ And what, pray tell, did HotMamaMonkey have to do in order to earn that moniker and make it so memorable? Is it some sort of milestone in one's skydiving career to get a Monkey Name?What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
