And the Jackass Texan.
From Navy Times:
The threatening radio transmission heard at the end of a video showing harassing maneuvers by Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz may have come from a locally famous heckler known among ship drivers as the “Filipino Monkey.”
Now you tell us. Not that anyone is really covering it in the major media.
[A] former cruiser skipper said he thought the Monkey might be behind the audio threats when he first heard them earlier this week.
“It wouldn’t have surprised me at all,” he said. “There’s all kinds of chatter on Channel 16. Anybody with a receiver and transmitter can hear something’s going on. It was entirely plausible and consistent with the radio environment to interject themselves and make a threatening comment and think they’re being funny.”
This former skipper also noted how quiet and clean the radio “threat” was, especially when radio calls from small boats in the chop are noisy and cluttered.
“It’s a tough environment, you’re bouncing around, moving fast, lots of wind, noise. It’s not a serene environment,” he said. “That sounded like somebody on the beach or a large ship going by.”
Now there’s a reason to attack Iran, Mr. Bush. This one ranks right up there with non-existent WMD.
Of course, it worked for you before.

Let’s torch the bastards.
I think in the Chimp’s mind this makes a lot of sense.
Filipino Monkey
my baby was crying the other night
she lay still just like a stone
she said ’honey, I will get you’
but the voice was not her own
I looked underneath the bed
I looked around the door
I looked every damn place I could
until I couldn’t look no more
but when it was time for loving
she made just like a junkie
she said she had a new lover
the filipino monkey
filipino monkey
took my baby away
filipino monkey
laughing in the bay
come and get me, monkey
come right out and play
but there was only laughter
the filipino monkey way
I joined up in the Navy
to see the seven seas
headed over to Hormuz
got a new pair of jet skis
a speedboat left me in his wake
and I very nearly drowned
what the fuck just happened?
what the fuck is going down?
I heard a voice familiar
calling back to me
I heard him laughing in the water
the filipino monkey
filipino monkey
took my baby away
filipino monkey
laughing in the bay
come and get me, monkey
come right out and play
but there was only laughter
the filipino monkey way
later at the barbecue
we set our grills into the sand
got some steaks and whiskey
got the amps and got the band
things were awful funny
Captain Ed was falling down
ain’t nothin’ like a drunk man
there ain’t nothin’ like a clown
but then the flares went flying
the smoke was thick and funky
upon the beach surrounded
by the filipino monkey
filipino monkey
took my baby away
filipino monkey
laughing in the bay
come and get me, monkey
come right out and play
but there was only laughter
the filipino monkey way
the filipino monkey way
