TIGRESSA, ELLIE & BEANER


TIGRESSA: Born - April 23rd. Tigressa is the Spanish word describing a female tiger - which, describes this Sock Monkey to a "T". Not only are her colorful stripes like a tigers but, when she feels threatened she can rip you apart. Though I've never seen Tigressa go postal, word is she saved a bus load of sock monkey kids during the "Great Sock Monkey Massacre of '82" when the escaping crocodiles attacked the bus. Tigressa flew into a rage and by the time she was done, it was more like the Great Crocodile Massacre.... What a hero she was that day!
ELLIE: Born - April 24th. Ellie likes to plant trees. Not just any old tree but banana trees (of course). Ellie has travelled extensively planting banana trees wherever she goes. From the Amazon to the Antarctica (which as you may have guessed, wasn't very successful for banana trees). Her goal is to have banana trees on every continent by the time the end of the world arrives as banana trees will be the only tree left surviving whatever disaster happens to our planet. Well, I'm sure that's not true BUT, in Ellie's mind it is AND who am I to stop her from planting banana trees?
BEANER: Born - April 25th. Beaner once had a job as a professional VHS rewinder. Anytime a movie rental was returned unwound, Beaner would sit in the back room with his 7 car-shaped rewinder machines and spend the day rewinding movies. This unfortunately, caused Beaner a ton of grief at parties as he would give away all the endings to the movies they were about to watch before they started. Beaner was sadly out of a job once the DVD came in to play. There is a happy ending here - Beaner found a job rewinding the film back on to the projectors at theatres. Still causes problems in his social life though....
