A Valentine sonnet from your Gorillas... Take this kiss upon thy brow, And, in parting from you now, Thus me sayeth forsooth! and how. If the milk is free, why buy the cow? I do not know what scuttling means, Across the floors of silent seas. As Crusher's kilt hangs on the breeze. With nary a trace of flies or fleas. Unto Thee mine eyes did see, The nightingale doth sing off key, Of Hershey's kisses, scones and tea. And big fat ladies on trampolines. Comes the pallid and reluctant moon, Hides the sun in evening's anteroom. The stars get baked and watch cartoons. Come see the Gorillas you big baboon! Thank you.

Saturday, January 7th 9:00 pm The Twisted Tail 509 S. 2nd Street Philadelphia, PA Holiday Greetings from the Head Gorilla (more or less)...Ho ho ho ho...(coughing ensues)
Excuse me. Ladies and Gerbils, It being the holiday season and all, I felt compelled to reach out to all of our little friends in Gorilla land, much as I have done in seasons past. Another busy year under our belts and I (for one) am looking forward to what 2012 will bring for all of us. We've been all over the country, making new friends where ever we go. You, dear reader, can consider yourself a part of our Gorilla extended family. Just don't ask to borrow any money. This year we added the great Noel Sagerman to our ranks....we experienced the departure of our good friend Jerry "the chicken" Scaringe and the return of wayward Gorilla lunatic and fellow founding member Crusher Carmean. Please join us on New Years Eve at the Wonder Bar, where we will be shaking the rafters and dragging the new year in kicking and screaming! I've said it before... If you have danced to us, sang with us, shouted at us, followed us, hired us, fired us, loved us, hated us, listened to us, laughed with/at us, been the brunt of our jokes, or allowed us to be a part of your life in any way... You have have my deepest respect and gratitude. Thank you for being in our family. Love, Rick Fink {:8())- NOW GET OUTTA HERE, YA JERK AND GO BUY SOME PRESENTS!!!! Watch our Xmas Video from Mareitta, Ohio!  Turkey and GoRillas!!!

Yay!!! That was one hell of a sentence, Miles Standish and this will be one hell of a weekend!!! I promise. Attend both nights...You'll be glad you did.

We begin this week's newsletter by paying tribute to the man, the myth, the slippery chicken, Jerry Scaringe. During his short tenure with us, Jerry has been the backbone of our little organization. In that time he has worked hard, played hard and provided us with more laughs than most anyone we have ever worked with. If you have not done so, we implore you to check out his band the Slippery Chickens. Godspeed, Jerry. May your feathers never be ruffled and may you always remain a free-range chicken! That brings us to our next piece of business. There have been many great duos in the pantheon of popular culture. Lennon and McCartney. Simon and Schuster. Damon and Runyon. Tom and Jerry. Fred and Ethel. Son of Sam and...well...Sam! The list goes on, my furry friends. Check that list and you will find another legendary partnership. A partnership of the greatest magnitude. A partnership forged in the hearts of the teeming masses and forever immortalized by the immortality of the immensely immortal talent of these mortals. On that list...NAY!...AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST you will find the names CRUSHER and RICK. Well, actually Rick and Crusher has a better ring, but I digress... That's right Gorilla fans...God is in His heaven...the Yankees reside in the Bronx and... CRUSHER CARMEAN HAS COME BACK TO THE GAS HOUSE GORILLAS!  Friday is a Gorilla Day!!!
