Rafikee has officially left for Canada's culinary school. He'll be back in a couple of years with more delicious banana recipes and also his own cooking show (tentatively titled "The Idiot Chef", with executive producer Keith Wong).
Needless to say, the megastar monkey received a big farewell at the airport from friends and fans alike (watch the video here).
Also, in true Rafikee fashion, the baboon left us with a last, blog-worthy, classic moment...
Rafikee and his brother were at a local departmental store, which, due to a post-Christmas sale, was understandably crowded. Rafikee, being mobbed by fans, was trailing far behind his brother.
Brother: Hey, Raf, hurry up man.
Rafikee starts working his way through the crowd, fervently saying "excuse me". Sudddenly, he stops dead in his tracks, as his way was still being obstructed no matter how many times he said "excuse me" to the person in front of him (or so he thought).
Then, it hit him.
Rafikee: Oh shit, I said "excuse me" to a mannequin!
