Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most brilliantly absurd thing I have seen in months.
Imagine going to the grocery store only once every 6 months. Imagine paying less than a dollar per meal. Imagine never washing dishes, chopping vegetables or setting the table ever again. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

But can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind, I'm about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: "a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes."

Behold, The Monkey Chow Diaries.

And don't miss the full blog.

Scrolling in my flist... you, and the entry right above... both pointing to this guy. How weird is that!

Yeah. I've been checking that out for a few days. He seems like
a very reasonable bloke, which makes it even more fun.

I wouldn't be surprised if we both read about it in the same place.

I think he probably just like an excuse to work the words "Monkey Chow" into as many conversations as possible.

My favourite quote from the video clip day 3

"I'm not an accountant but I do have this clipboard"
LMAO

I also like the line "poop flavoured briquettes"
LOL

Maybe, just maybe, he's onto something here though.
The saving would be pretty benificial.

I can tell the stress of the impending repayment of my student loan is getting to me since my first thought wasn't 'haha, monkey chow!', it was 'hmm, less than a dollar a meal...?' :p
