Those cowards only tickled baby apes....just imagine a grown gorilla getting pissed off because someone tickles him 😀

Oh great, now some poor mountain gorilla is gonna develop a tickling fixation and will want to join the TMF. I think Jeff should be proactive and create a TMGMF (Tickling Mountain Gorillas Media Forum) sub-forum just in case.

This idea of segregation is frighteningly regressive...

Just let the gorillas paty in our forum so we don't look like biggots years down the road when they finally stand up to us.

If any primates other than humans try to tickle me, I'll get all Charlton Heston on them:

"Get your hands off me you damned dirty ape!!!"

I am still laughing at that one. You see that a lot though. I have seen videos in the past in which a scientist tickles a baby ape instead of an adult one. That would be something I would pay to see.

George Bush doesn't care about adult gorillas
