...yoga,” and “yes” kept popping up as well. I immediately signed up for every house yoga program in a ten-block radius. I didn’t find her; yet somewhere between mastering the Perching Crane and Precocious Monkey, I realized that all I had earned for myself was a hernia and a totally new outlook on shit. I decided to drown my sorrows in that sweet elixir of forgetfulness: foam. As I entered Mather Lather, shower cap and lufa in hand, I caught a glimpse of her, a fleeting image that...
...wait nor the $13 million-plus Axl Rose and company spent on its production. The whole thing is overproduced, every song a too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen kind of affair. Much has been made about the decline of rock at the hands of Pro Tools, but a monkey could have mixed this album better with GarageBand. Throughout “Chinese Democracy,” Guns N’ Roses imitate every conceivable style of rock, sounding more like a bad tribute band than the rock messiahs they were once heralded as. Rose whines all over...
...arrived in town a few hours earlier than my boyfriend, so I ducked into a divey-looking bar in the heart of the French Quarter called the Copper Monkey (725 Conti Street; 504-527-0868) for a beer and an awesome burger.

(Stryker, who got a pet monkey as a gift when he was young, is a major donor to the conservation of ape habitats...
...video-turned-Internet-hit. This one takes place in a library and is about a guy who falls "head over heels" for the would-be-hot-if-she-weren't-wearing-enormous-glasses librarian. But like any good 1980s music video, it doesn't make any sense-a monkey, a man in a gas mask, and a rabbi all make absurdist cameos. So when the parody's creator, Dustin McLean, references them directly-"Now the rabbi's walking right behind me"-it's funny. At least, it's supposed to be funny. It is supposed to be funny, right...
