    Monkey Wards Catalog???

    Has this been brought up yet? I just got an Astronaut card (thank you so much, Scott) and noticed the mistake in the question on the back-

    "Q:What was the Astronaut called in the 1974 Monkey Wards Christmas catalog?"

    I'm assuming this has been noticed, but it gave me a slight chuckle.

    That's not a mistake. We always called it Monkey Wards in my family! You've never heard it called that? Fit so perfectly with the Apes, I couldn't resist. Plus Montgomery took up too much space.

        Monkey Ward is the right name.

        I have to ague with Scott.
        Everyone I know, always called it Monkey Wards, where I grew up here in Oregon. Even my grandparent in Montana called it that.

          The only one near us was in the big city of Lexinton (it's not really THAT big), and I still heard that nickname somehow. Kinda like calling McDonalds' "Mickey D's" or Wal-Mart "Wally-World". I blame that last one on Chevy Chase though.

            I loved that when I first read it.

              I've seen it so often here, I thought it was even part of the word filter. I just saw it as another great example of Scott's personal touch.
