Drown them out by alternately screaming and laughing.

Lovely stuff!

# You'll need stuffing too
An old T-shirt saw me though a few of them, but since then I've invested in a bag of proper stuffing from the sewing shop (£3 lasted for about six monkeys)

# Awesome!
I had a read of the guide link you posted. Seems a little confusing, but I am sure it makes more sense once you are actually doing it :)

After the first one I didn't look at the guide again

# Terrible waste of potential monkey.
If you made monkeys from my socks, they would be down and out wino monkeys.

you'd have monkeys covered in unicorns and anchors.

an Aimee, an Anna, a cup of coffee (thank you Anna) and the pooter. Also lots of paper that I'm pretending isn't there.

I need to come up and see you at some point actually. We've been going on about this stoner meet for ages and, in somewhat predictable fashion, have done nothing about it....

# The missus has a picture of three of them in a pub
The other two I made and then had to give as gifts before I could snap them. One had SOCK MONKEY 4 LIFE written on him in gaffer tape, though.
