New Sock Monkey: George “Lumpy” Washington
Filed under: Obsessions - March 22, 2007 @ 5:48 amI was down on Cherokee and saw a shop called Panorama. The chalkboard sign by the front door advertised “ANTIQUES & WHIMSIES.” I KNEW any place that sold whimsies would have sock monkeys. And sure enough, I found an old fellow the owner found at an estate sale. Oddly though, Lumpy is my least whimsical sock monkey. The truth is, he’s kindof worn out, run down, and an alcoholic. But he’s a very sweet guy, and check out that pom pom! I really don’t mind supplying him whiskey, as he is willing to share.
