Cy is turning 34 today! He truly is an extraordinary chimpanzee and we are so grateful he was born! What an honor it is to know him, we love him so. Please join us later today to see his celebration with his friends and family!

    Thanks for honoring dear Cy, Tami.

    I am so happy that the Nine have Cy as the leader of the group. Happier that Cy has taken Willy B under his wing. So, because Cy brings me so much happiness, I too honor him on his special day by sending him wishing for happiness in his life all throughout his 34th year!

      Aprile,

      You mentioned that you reside in Newark, Del. May I recommend to you the Maryland Zoo down the tracks in Baltimore? I had the great honor and privilege of being introduced to Bunny Chimpanzee who resides there with her daughters.

    I wish Cyrus Maximus a happy birthday and a very enjoyable new year of life. Given his apparent fondness for Ryan Gosling on screen and in his movie mags, may I offer the following song lyrics in the birthday boy’s honor:

    “I’m just Cy
    Handsome and spry
    But where I see love
    S/he sees a well-read guy…”

    In any event, we who follow this blog certainly adore and admire Cy.

    My Dear Cy,

    I don’t know if your beloved Stanley will have the time to take five from his movie set to send his regards, so I will be more than pleased to substitute for him. I wish you the happiest of birthdays, Cyrus Magnificus. What an amazing and highly agreeable person you are! I am so glad to know you, and to know that we share the same disdain for brightly painted furniture (quel tres gauche, non?).

    Chimp CEO! I love that!

    Thank you to the Parellas for sponsoring Cy’s special day today. He is such a wonderful example of a benevolent, Kind, calm, intelligent leader. Any chance we can get him to run for office in Congress. Happy Birthday, Cy. i hope you have some Tucci photos to make you smile.
