Depending on your flight, I would be happy to fly right next to you in a full Disney Tigger costume. Complete with head and tail

We could certainly freak out a few people. Let me know and I will see if I can get on the same flight. This is just too much fun for words. (and yes they are very hot, but if one wears only shorts / t-shirt underneath, they are not as bad)

Lionel! From the African Education Conference!

Yah, man, I was Director of Cultural Activities at the Haile Selassie Pavilion.

I remember the pavilion - we had big fun there!

And there is another issue with the gorilla suit, or at the least the ones I rented.

You put it on by unzipping the back and stepping in to it, like some women's dresses. There is no zipper in the front, in the place where most men would expect to find a zipper. So, a gorilla suit-wearer who needs to relieve himself needs to remove the whole suit, then put it back on.

In the spacious confines of your standard B757 lavatory, this could be a daunting task. And that's not even considering trying to get the back zipped up.

No zipper in front? No problem.

Stadium Pal to the rescue. Just don't drink too much.

OK, so how many others of us have worn gorilla suits in past lives?

I did, doing "gorilla-grams" for a year or two. I had one to do at an Army Depot near my hometown, back during the first Iraq-Kuwait go-round. I'd drive with the mask off (really not safe, otherwise), but the suit on. Didn't have any problem getting in the gates of the depot, but might be different now.

Would I try it in an airport? No.

If you are going to wear a gorilla suit, is your significant other going to be dressed in lederhosen as "Helga from Sveeden"? Maybe you should have another one of your friends dressed as a priest, and one dressed as an exchange student from Cameroon.

And don't forget to drink your FCOJ in the morning!

I don't know about y'all, but I am so tired of people coming on the airplane, sitting next to me, dressed in gorilla suits.

They get all the attention, the bananas, everything, and I find I get short shrift from the pretty chimp FAs.

Last time, our orangutang pilot came back and personally shook the hands of all the gorilla-suit pax.

I was totally ignored

This idea sounds more fun by the minute. My real disappointment is that upon further reflection, I don't think I could wear the mask on the plane. It would interfere with my ability to wear the oxygen mask should it become necessary. And how much fun would it be to be dressed as a gorilla and have a normal (at least as normal as my face is) face showing?

I may have to call the CO elite line for more info . . .
