1/2 past a monkey's ass

I'm at a pub/club with a group of people, including my family, Kate, Suki, and a handful of men.
There's a huge amount of food -macho tacos, salsa, cheese, kfc, etc.
and a fridge full of green bottles of wine.
Everyone is indulging in the food and drink, and dancing to loud tribal music.
The bathroom has a door that leads outside.
Someone starts shouting that it's "half past the monkey's ass"


Roots

I receive a letter from Melanie Crum, who is living in Blowing Rock again.
She is writing me about her "long roots".
She's looking into her family tree,
and every time she finds something new out her hair grows longer.
This upsets her, as she has to repeatedly bleach her hair to keep it blonde.
