Curious George

... a few years back.

He's been involved in a ton of Curious George stuff, which is wild.

Um, uh, so, so, so many things.

Yeah.

So what? So what? Man, you want to know? Well, who gives a fuck? No one's going to copy you.

I wanted to do, like, Curious George and the man with the yellow hat.

Yo, what if you should do that? And

Ralph should be the banana guy.

The man with the yellow hat? Yeah.

So you want to be Curious George? Nah, I

was just fucking around.

Fuck, no, I'm not.

As 8:00 PM nears, we jump into his bed, and we read a book or two.

Right now, he insists on reading the mischievous adventures of Curious George.

That is despite my constant efforts to redirect him towards his beautifully illustrated theology readers.

After the good little monkey fixes the mess he's made, we take a few moments to recite a call and response bedtime liturgy that my wife and I adapted from Justin Early's Habits of the Household.

I promise you.

Curious George, picture him swinging by his tail.

No, he doesn't have one.

He never did.

There's C-3PO, the golden robot from Star Wars, or rather, the mostly golden robot.

One of his legs is silver from the knee down.

Curious George, the Fruit of the Loom logo, the Monopoly Man, Pikachu, the Volkswagen logo, and Waldo from Where's Waldo? On those seven, people picked the correct image around a third of the time or less.

With three options in front of you, a third is exactly what blind guessing gets you, except they weren't guessing blindly.

...

I'd spent, like, $100 trying to get a Curious George monkey.

Mm.

And I failed.

[laughs] Muzukashi.

George-

I don't know what Curious George is called in Japanese.

[laughs]

No, it's my face.

It's actually, it was the artist who does Curious George contracted by my company to help create training videos.

Really? And I was one of the people they used to turn into a cartoon.

It's me if I was in a Curious George cartoon.

That's

fucking awesome.

small.

You'll look at it and be like, yeah,

Ringo Starr and George Carlin were in Thomas the Train.

Yep, and I remember William H. Macy narrated Curious George.

Yeah.

Yep, yep.
