The Hero Within?

I think they must have misspelled my last name.

I am the Monkey King!

Actually, the Monkey King stories are among the most enjoyable Chinese opera plots for Westerners. Happy the man who watches the acrobatic feats of the Monkey King on stage!

You're Jon! The Mon-key King!

Are you getting any urges to take over a Chinese holiday?

I can't think of any to appropriate. Hmm. Maybe I could knock the bunny and its pestle off the moon and take over Mid-Autumn Festival . . .

"Kidnap the Lune-y Bun;
Bump him off the moon!
Serve him to the ladies
And see if they all swoon!"
