Amazingly enough, this has absolutely nothing to do with monkeys. It's an "email forward", though, so I have no idea of its wider exposure or provenance, so I'll test it out here - The Monkey Man Song.
I have heard it, on Comedy Central if my mind's not failing too badly.
For some reason, though, it keeps stopping and restarting even though I have a broadband connection. Odd.
Posted by: Crash on August 1, 2002 12:09 AMNow that I clear my cache, it does the same thing for me, too. My guess is that whoever put this up set it to start playing before it was fully loaded - once it goes all the way through once, it should play straight through the second time!
Sorry! Sorry! * ducks poo *
Posted by: yhbc on August 1, 2002 12:28 AMI hate to be the spoilsport here, Commish - but this wonderful little piece worked perfectly for me, straight through. First time and second.
*satisfying "No Beer Nuts But Decent Telecommunications" Third World gloat*
You Americans should really consider investing in some decent cable and telephone lines. Sure, the Fifties are cute and all that but this is the 21st Century, folks! Heh heh.
Posted by: Miguel on August 1, 2002 01:33 AMokay, i'm dying to know: why is yhbc "commish"? i'm guessing it stand for "commissioner" but--why? inquiring minds want to know.
Posted by: witchstone on August 1, 2002 09:18 AMmy supervisor is a condescending bitch. somehow, i am supposed to document her errors for her, and things that only she knows are supposed to be obvious to me. i just keep imagining her with monkey poop on her head, and it seem to be getting better.

Posted by: kafkaesque on August 1, 2002 11:35 AMIt got me so mad I am now sticking up for thomcatspike in the grey.
Posted by: adampsyche on August 1, 2002 11:56 AMWhat she probably really needs is a systematic program of making her look like a hump in front of the people she needs to impress, which a technically proficient person can do quite easily. Step one: Crack her windows password, log on, and delete some shit :)
Hey, the corporate world can be bloody. Wear boots and carry a nice pointy stick.
Posted by: UncleFes on August 1, 2002 11:57 AMStep two: Outlook "accidently" fills her Address Book's contents with virus-filled emails! Make sure her boss gets one :)
Posted by: UncleFes on August 1, 2002 12:01 PMStep Three: mocked up email to friend complaining about bosses response to virus-filled email that "accidently" ends up in local snitch's Inbox as well (don't send it directly to the boss, that lacks subtlety)
Posted by: UncleFes on August 1, 2002 12:02 PMSorry, I get going on these sorts of things, they take a life of their own. But you see what I mean.
Posted by: UncleFes on August 1, 2002 12:03 PMStep three: stalk her and imprison her in your crawlspace. After a couple of weeks, when she finally claws her way out and, still bound, drags herself by her eyebrows back to the office and accuses you of kidnapping, make absolutely sure to deny this charge.
This will make her look whiny.
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 1, 2002 12:04 PMAdam: I actually think it's kind of funny. I now refer to that kind of thing (to myself anyway) as "Thomcatspeak."
Posted by: ColdChef on August 1, 2002 12:09 PMYeah, I guess so. I just see it happening so much, and, well, the guy has kinda grown on me.
I like kaf's idea. I also love office pranks.
i think i'll steal her mouseball.
Posted by: adampsyche on August 1, 2002 12:28 PMChange her Win hosts file to point at goatse.cx. Then claim righteous shocked ignorance:
"*gasp* I never knew such filth was to be found on the Internet!!! What twisted soul would have pulled such a prank?! What's the world coming to?! *sob*"
I like the trick that was in Maxim a while back: go into her Microsoft Word, and use the AutoCorrect tool (ya know, replaces "teh" with "the") to replace the word "the" with "vulva."
Does Windows 2000 use a host file? c:/winnt/?
Posted by: adampsyche on August 1, 2002 01:24 PMOr offer her some ExLax brownies.
Not that I've ever done that...
Posted by: romakimmy on August 1, 2002 01:24 PMAdam, Win2000 *should* have a hosts file, but I'll be damned if I can remember where it was. (on XP Pro I'm finding it in C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc)
Posted by: romakimmy on August 1, 2002 01:29 PMI like the trick that was in Maxim a while back
there's something majorly wrong with this sentence. oh, i know, it's the words "like" and "maxim" in the same sentence. ;)
Posted by: witchstone on August 1, 2002 02:07 PMYou're right. It should be "subscription since day one" and "Maxim"!
Posted by: adampsyche on August 1, 2002 02:09 PMIt also saves time for all who have had to provide the same functionality as maxim does.
Posted by: bittennails on August 1, 2002 03:11 PMi love maxim. just thought i'd speak up that, y'know, some girls like maxim too.
Posted by: pikachu lolita on August 1, 2002 07:20 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.
