I did not name the blasphemous creature. I am using the nomenclature of the original post.

The name confuses me. I would expect an owl monkey to be a monkey with some traits reminiscent of an owl. But you are clearly describing an owl with some traits reminiscent of a monkey. What I would intuitively call a monkey owl. Weird name.

...and now I find myself afflicted. They're out right now, howling their "Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoaah-Hwaah-Ahh-Ahh-Ahh" chant, mercilessly. They've been out every night for a week, and for at least half the nights since I moved to the neighborhood in June. The neighbors say they hear the hooting in the distance, and say it's a new thing. For me, they're right in the back yard. A tailfeather was found this morning. I ask myself, "Isn't it bad for hunting to be making such a racket?" If this is a mating call, I hear at least two other owl monkeys Hoo-hwaahing back to get in on the kinky owl monkey action. Probably more. Insatiable brutes! Figures they'd be monitoring Usenet, so outre in their tastes and habits. Their grotesque, non-Euclidian chanting is driving me mad. I warn thee fellow posters, do not speak against these devils.
