Planet of the Apes

If you keep on posting at the present rate, you won't stay a virgin again for long, I reckon

Sex is one of the few things that the more you give away, the more you get back.

I see the rule as "no human sex with non-speaking Terrestrial non-humans". I'd avoid having beasts communicate with people via sign language or telepathy -- too ambiguous. But sex with Mr Ed or Francis the Mule would be OK, if painful.

I understand that you are being cautious, and the guide specifically says "speaking." But it is hilarious to think that a non-speaking creature that can communicate coherent thoughts such as "you are physically compatible, lets have sex" through mental telepathy is less advanced than we are.

I faced a similar situation in a story that was rejected for being underage. There were no flashbacks and all the characters were at least second year Uni students working at a bar and living in a small house just off campus. (Freshmen had to live in the halls.) "But people under 18 can enroll in college," the all-knowing said. Yeah, but really, if you are balancing a job, rent, and classes you are more mature than anyone on the General Board, and they are supposed to be 18.

Maybe Planet of the Ape-men at this point.

Many types of apes, great and lesser, exist. Do each need their own planet, or will a continent suffice? Our Planet of the Apes can have Continents of the [Bonobos | Rang-Tangs | Rosy-Ass Baboons | Vicious Chimps | Lemurs].

I recall a tale (High Wind In Jamaica) of a Caribbean ship whose captain's pet lemur awakens passengers by peeling-back their eyelids and peering into their optic systems. Hilarity ensues. On our Primate Planet, human visitors awaken to speaking lemurs peeling-back their clothes to examine and exercise genitals. Fantasy lemur rape should win Laurel's approval.

Dont spoil the romance of a movie with common sense or science

Well, in the 1976 version (I'm going by the plot synopsis because I haven't seen it in years), Kong is first put on display in Shea Stadium, which is pretty close to the East River/Long Island Sound. They'd still have to get him across the Grand Central Parkway. When Kong gets loose, he eventually wades across the East River near the 59th Street bridge. He must have made a hell of a mess stomping all of those miles through Queens. In fact, he does destroy an elevated train in what appears to be Astoria. (That part I remember.)

Kong strips Ann

The 1933 Kong kind of reminds me of the "bumble" snowman from Rudolf. I suppose that was deliberate on the part of Rankin-Bass.

You can shorten the list: Gorillas, Chimps, Bonobos, and Orangs are the Great Apes; Gibbons/Siamangs are the Lesser Apes. Baboons, along with many others, are Old World monkeys; Howlers and others are New World monkeys. Lemurs, along with bushbabies, lorises, pottos, and tarsiers are Prosimians.

I guess humans are also a Great Ape?

Biologically, we are, of course, but in talking of "Planet of the Apes," humans are excluded. People don't generally like to think they're just somewhat specialized primates; there was a bit of a fuss at the AMNH when they redid the Hall of Mammals, and didn't make H. sapiens the "Crown of Evolution."

Maybe not a planetful of greater & lesser apes and other simians. Maybe only a planeload. APES ON A PLANE balances PLANET OF THE SNAKES. Cue Thulsa Doom and Set for the latter, and give King King aviator goggles for the former.

Or if we *must* have {rhymes with APES} we may consider PLANET OF THE CAPES | DRAPES | FIRE ESCAPES | GAPES | JACKANAPES | LANDSCAPES | RAPES | RED TAPES | SCRAPES | whatever. Alas, PLANET OF THE GIANT TOADSTOOLS doesn't qualify.

And add Planet of the

GRAPES, ruled by intelligent fruits that share information through vines, or

NAPES, where the accepted form of greeting involves sensuous nuzzling of necks, or

SHAPES, a sequel to Abbot's Flatland, where the number of sides determines social rank, or

VAPES, dominated by sentient miasmas.

For a different take, try Planet Of The Conjoined, where all the elites are 'Siamese' twins, rather interbred, and only pervos take unattached lovers.

Sex is one of the few things that the more you give away, the more you get back.

And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

And the angle of the dangle equals the heat of the meat. I saw that somewhere. I think the hypotenuse of the epiglottis factors in there too.
