Unique Gift: Ape-stract Painting by Cheeta
I loved watching Tarzan movies when I was a kid. Johnny Weissmuller was my favourite of course, but I'd happily watch Lex Barker, Gordon Scott, and even Ron Ely. Of course regardless who played The Lord of the Jungle, the real star of the show, at least for me, was Cheeta. So it blew me away when I found out that Cheeta is still alive and kicking, and is the world's oldest living chimpanzee!
The really cool bit is that Cheeta is an artist, and for $135.00, he'll do a custom painting for you. You can pick up to 3 colors from 11 choices, and he'll whip you up a masterpiece. Yeah, that's a fair chunk of change for something that's going to look like it was done by a 3-year-old kid, but hey, it's CHEETA! And the money goes to help the C.H.E.E.T.A. Primate Sanctuary, so it's all tax-deductable. And they take Paypal! Woohoo!



I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy one of these suckers, but the thing is, I'm going to have to be careful who I bestow with a gift of such erm, unique charm. My Dad's birthday is coming up, but I'm thinking he's not really the kind of guy who would appreciate something like this. Christmas is coming up. I'll have to look through the list and see who's worthy of some serious chimp art.
