Drunk, knife-wielding monkey pursues bar patrons

https://boingboing.net/2016/02/19/drunk-knife-wielding-monkey-p.html

Guard your cabanas!

A drunk monkey turned "belligerent" at a bar in Brazil, reports Arede, grabbing a knife, pursuing patrons and climbing onto the roof.

After the tiny primate—said to live at the bar—downed a glass of rum and armed itself, firefighters had to be called to subdue it. The monkey was later released to the wild, according to the report, but was spotted menacing homeowners on the outskirts of town. After recapture, local authorities now plan to move the monkey to the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources for evaluation.

It'd be the Brazilian equivalent of Quahog, R.I.'s favorite watering hole.

Mom tried to take me there once, but they have a flippin' dress code and I flipped out when they tried to loan me a jacket.
