There's only one thing this monkey can have: one Dreamy Monkey coming up!
Posted by: ashbury on June 23, 2002 08:39 PMNice glasses, gummi! But I lack the bravado for cocktails. I'd be greedy and demand a large snifter of Midleton's 26-year old whiskey - I'm an addict of the cheaper(but still exorbitantly priced)Midleton, distilled by Max Crockett's son, Barry - and a 1958 vintage H.Upmann No.22 cigar. If I had to chose a cigar I've actually smoked before it would have to be a delicious Cohibas Robusto. It would almost make it worth it...
Posted by: Miguel on June 23, 2002 08:53 PMOh, this may be heretical, but if there were a MeFi firing squad (or any other kind), I would probably really want the standard Marlboro Light and Budweiser, knowing as I would in the situation that it would be the last chance I'd have to say goodbye to the old friends. In the spirit of the post, though, I'll order a Dunhill regular (I don't smoke cigars) and a large snifter of Courvoisier VSOP, please. The Middleton does sound good, though.
Posted by: yhbc on June 23, 2002 09:16 PMI'll take a snifter of hemlock and the tailpipe of an '83 Buick. I'll be damned before I give those bastards the satisfaction.
Posted by: jpoulos on June 23, 2002 09:28 PMLast smoke, Cartier, of course. I'd just rip the back off the pack and light.
Drink: Xingu.
That's assuming, of course, that a MeFi Firing squad could catch me.
Posted by: eyeballkid on June 23, 2002 09:32 PMI would never, ever worry about the MeFi firing squad. I'd sneak away when the inevitable "Is it morally correct to execute someone?" argument broke out.
Plus, I've already had my last smoke. March 5 of this year. It was a Basic Menthol Light 100, if that's pertinent.
However, should there ever be a time when I would face an actual firing squad, I suppose I would choose the longest, slowest-burning thing I could get my hands on, like the thirty-six footer rolled in Cuba by Jose Castelar Cairo. Maybe they'd give me a week or so to smoke it.
Posted by: mr_crash_davis on June 23, 2002 10:55 PMI'd be honkin' on a big ol' crackpipe, by golly. No messin' around.
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on June 23, 2002 11:09 PMSpeaking of the blue place, is it still non compos mentis? What's the story, anyhoo?
Posted by: yhbc on June 23, 2002 11:38 PMAccording to mathowie, the line the DNS server box was connected to was dug up by a "construction" crew. He had to move the DNS service to another provider, and it takes about 48 hours to propagate.
Posted by: mr_crash_davis on June 23, 2002 11:49 PMConstruction, destruction - same thing. They get paid either way.
Posted by: yhbc on June 23, 2002 11:54 PMI'm back in as of a couple of hours ago. A wee bit quiet 'round there, but it's just nice to know it's there.
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on June 24, 2002 01:23 AMThat is one cool monkey. No Internet for days (I moved this weekend), and this is the first place I come. What's wrong with me?
Posted by: adampsyche on June 24, 2002 08:29 AMEverything and nothing, cap'n. Deny not your simian self, for that way lies madness.
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on June 24, 2002 08:44 AMMy smoke: A single solitary Lucky Strike straight.
And my drink: Draught Guinness.
Posted by: kafkaesque on June 24, 2002 01:22 PMI'd set fire to a protesting monk and enjoy a nice Yoo-Hoo.
Posted by: dong resin on June 25, 2002 06:42 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
