If often gets lost amidst all the made up holidays Hallmark has created, but today is National Gorilla Suit day-- so throw on your furries and host a traditional Simian Supper! Bananas are on the menu, of course, and there is the option to throw your own poop.
I've always wanted a gorilla suit-- my favorite Gorilla Suit of all time is the one worn by Ray Corrigan in many a B-Picture, serial and episodes of The Three Stooges.
The suit dyed white for (you guessed it) White Gorilla |
Far from lifelike but frightening nonetheless, Corrigan was the guy for Ape Suit needs from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Add a horn and you've got a space gorilla I guess |
Later on, Corrigan retired and sold the suit to Steve Calvert who carried on the tradition for a few more years. I'd love to know where the suit is today.
