What, if any, is the significance of this phrase? Is it from something of significance? It's driving me batty.

it is your inhalation of paint thinner fumes that appears significant

From whence is this phrase?

My Lovely Horse?

that monkey looks just fine.

It's from Murakami's 'Norwegian Wood'.

Is it really? Where?

It wasn't quoted and also isn't sub-title../

Lara, you'll have to ask Haruki then! It probablly relates to people disapearing and drinking lots of whisky, and getting weird phone calls.

Have you been talking to Tim Hopkins lately?

Here's the link to the pdf of the relevant page on Amazon, p58.

You truly are a beautiful person. I will buy you a port as thanks. And *soon*.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to check amazon for you but decided to post a picture of a monkey umbrella instead.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

A glass of port. Not Baltimore.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

You are a kind and wonderful person too. I never thought of Amazon. Monkey umbrella v. impressive and *obvious reaction* I want one. (I did think it was unlike you not to turn up the reference in nano-seconds).

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

But ... what is it about rain that makes monkeys tired?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Holding up heavy novelty umbrellas with thin monkey arms?

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Ahh.
