A Gainesville woman's monkey business

Although the surrounding monkey walkways hang no more than 5 feet above the ground, Kari Bagnall doesn’t have to duck. Mud splatters from her rain boots as she weaves her way through a maze of cages, trees and hanging metal walkways.

Don’t kick out those semi-welcome guests

On “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” comedian J.B. Smoove plays Leon Black, the brother of Loretta Black, a woman who ends up moving in with Larry David in Los Angeles after being displaced from New Orleans by a hurricane. Despite already having a home in L.A. — not to mention not even being formally invited into Larry’s house — Leon moves in, and quickly becomes a key player in Larry’s antics. When Loretta finally moves out, Larry gestures to Leon, “I guess this means you’ll be…” obviously meaning to ask him to leave as well. When Leon quickly replies that he’ll be “Going upstairs to eat this f****** Chinese food,” pausing to take a sip of soda, “in my f****** room,” Larry can’t even muster the energy to debate the point.
