Life on a monkey commune ... imagine the possibilities ...
Posted by tizzie at April 08, 2003 12:54 PMSorry about the crummy graphic. Just wanted to explore the idea of monkey utopia. You know, sort of the desert island thread. Where would we go? what would we bring? what would we leave behind?
Posted by: tizzie on April 8, 2003 12:57 PMBakersfield. With a ten pound bag of gummi coke bottles and my ant farm.
Posted by: kaffffffft on April 8, 2003 12:59 PMmmm ants. you bring the farm, i'll bring the sticks.
Posted by: adampsyche on April 8, 2003 01:13 PMOf course, sooner or later sex would rear its ugly head.
Posted by: Miguel on April 8, 2003 01:16 PMInstructions on how to make it rear sooner here. (guaranteed safe for work).
Post-post quandarini:
Is its head all that ugly?
Why the verb "to rear"?
The last time I crossed an apterous female with a white eyed male, all hell broke loose.
Posted by: witchstone on April 8, 2003 01:26 PMIs its head all that ugly?
I've always thought it was kinda cute, in its own way.
Not the ants, the sex.
from adam's link: Mountain gorillas and Western gorillas live in very different habitats,
Are we going for the highlands or the lowlands?
Posted by: tizzie on April 8, 2003 01:48 PM*sings to the tune of "Something To Believe In"*
You take the highlands, and I'll take the lowlands.

Posted by: readymade on April 8, 2003 02:43 PMLet's see. Check. Check. Check. Oh, nope. -- No, wait, there's some; check! Check. Check. Check. Check. Check.
Plus greasy sludge, some toe butter, and my own self-generated smog system.
So, who wants a sandwich?
Posted by: Pig Pen on April 8, 2003 03:03 PMThis thread just gets dirtier & dirtier...started with Gay Paris, moved to Bakersfield sticky sweet & home of sticky hot truck stops/oil fields then onward ho to: Sex (linkage) rears its ugly head. That urge of life which makes one green so we head onward to the western lowlands were we get real dirty, dirtier with a sandwich. Have we found our island yet? Or are we going to take a peek at the mountains?
Posted by: Thomcatspike on April 8, 2003 03:26 PMI guess I've arrived to late to make an obscure quip about the Situationists?
Posted by: kaibutsu on April 8, 2003 03:34 PMI say we go with an island.
(And wasn't that site a Big Blue post a while back?)
Posted by: Cyrano on April 8, 2003 04:02 PMCyrano, I'm no good at currency conversion but those islands seem a bit pricey. Unless we sail in like pirates and steal, errrr, liberate one.
There's always this - we might be able to talk the guy down a little. We have connections!
Posted by: tizzie on April 8, 2003 04:14 PMOh, wait! Las Colipichigual, Melinka, Chile! Two bay island, total of 34 acres, US $55,000. We could scratch that together!
I'll bring the watchdogs and the pots and pans.
Does anyone remember the G.I. Joe comic book from back in the day when Cobra does some weird thing to make an island rise out of the ocean and while the Yo-Joes are trying to fight them off of it Cobra sends lawyers to the U.N. to have the island declared a country? And then when it's a country they get to boot the Yo-Joes off? We could try that. With poo-flinging instead of guns, of course.
Posted by: Cyrano on April 8, 2003 04:22 PMMy previous managers, both female, at my previous job, both referred to me as "Cabana Boy."
Posted by: eyeballkid on April 8, 2003 06:41 PMI assume that was because of your talent in the tiki hut.
Posted by: tizzie on April 8, 2003 06:56 PMTizzie: could we play Food-Eating Monkey Battle in this commune? I just watched the ColdChef/Quonsar duel - boy, was that close!
ColdChef, the Fruit-Eating Attack Monkey: 8.4
vs
quonsar, the Haggis-Eating Vampire Monkey: 8.5
I assume that was because of your talent in the tiki hut.
So as a woman Tiz your pointing out to eyeballkid, it's about ass, assuming when your say tiki hut to a reply on Cabana Boy...anyone else have a woman boss slap or pinch your ass at work?
Posted by: Thomcatspike on April 8, 2003 08:00 PMYou may now refer to me as Marty the Rock-Eating Death Monkey. Just like they did in kindergarten.
Posted by: Mars Crash on April 8, 2003 08:24 PMThat's funny. As Mars you come out as a Gravel-eating Disco Monkey; as Mars Crash as a Fish-eating Proboscis Monkey and as marscrash as a Beef-Eating Mini Monkey. And only once did you you get your ass whupped.
So where did you get that? :)
Posted by: Miguel on April 8, 2003 08:38 PMWhile spaces in your nickname are good, real names give eerily accurate descriptions.
Posted by: romakimmy on April 8, 2003 08:54 PMOn average, you still come out ahead. Believe me, Kim, I've tried every way and none works. Anyway, it was a pleasure. :)
Posted by: Miguel on April 8, 2003 09:06 PMSo as a woman Tiz your pointing out to eyeballkid, it's about ass...
Actually I meant his skill at mixing banana daquiris. Thom, you have a dirty mind.
Food-Eating Battle Monkeys! Yes, Migs, we'll play all day. Our island, our rules.
Posted by: tizzie on April 8, 2003 09:14 PMNative(?) spellings, Migsy dear.
Your language is better but guess who is better in the sack?
Posted by: romakimmy on April 8, 2003 09:16 PMI am having way too much fun with this.
Heh.Ti voglio bene Migs. Nuthin' personal. ;-)
Posted by: romakimmy on April 8, 2003 09:37 PMWhat would be monkey heaven on monkey island:
Miguel mixes the drinks.
jonmc plays the tunes.
and ColdChef cooks dinner.
But, what would probably happen instead, and be monkey hell on monkey island:
ColdChef mixes the drinks.
Miguel plays the tunes.
and jonmc cooks dinner.
Oh romakimmy, please take this exactly as it reads, but once more you've made my day. We're talking that sweet mixture of laughter and being-thoroughly-charmed that is, if not unique, very, very rare. Well actually unique, yes.
Not to be more obsequious than I can possibly avoid but you, signorina Kimmy, miraculously seem to have all the virtues of the Americans and Italians without being even remotely Italo-American and having none of the defects of both.
From now until the day I die I shall make an effort to, in all its many meanings, divertire you! :)
Posted by: Miguel on April 9, 2003 12:39 AMHa! I kick all ya'll's asses! I note it only for this: "9622.net: Cigarette Eating Giant Monkey."
Funny how fast monkey paradise descends into food eating battle monkeys. Maybe Socialism won't work after all.
Posted by: kaibutsu on April 9, 2003 06:01 AMThom, you have a dirty mind.
Sorry Tiz, didn't mean to put you on the spot, guess Tiki Hut, went over my head...and I did read into it, which I tried to leave you a big hint: "ass, assume" which you first used, assume, my bad.
It’s cool the monkey island will be equipped with a bartender with accessories, eyeball, kid & a Tiki Hut. Actually eyeballkid has a nice ring to it for a shot. Our weather this morning is 34F in Dallas yet with the current climate of news headlines; the weather is the best thing going today for folks to have a pleasant topic of chit chat. Hope this monkey paradise will have a comfortable climate.
Like that Melanie song:
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
You've got a brand new key.
No, that's not right.

Posted by: Server on April 9, 2003 08:57 AMComfortable climate? Hell, this is going to be a bannana paradise!
Posted by: kaibutsu on April 9, 2003 09:02 AMI love that John Ashcroft is a "Dirt-Eating War Monkey". Also, I kick his ass.
Posted by: jpoulos on April 9, 2003 09:59 AMI thought we'd all move to Portugal and live off Miguel's earnings writing cult novels.
Barring that, there's always Thailand. They feed monkeys very well there.
Posted by: b*nnyfire on April 9, 2003 02:01 PMI just had to say, my nick is fair-to middling, but in real life, I can safely lay claim to being the worstest monkey ever!
See, like Michael Jackson, I'm a lover, not a fighter. (And there, trust me, the similarities end.)
Posted by: Chico on April 9, 2003 03:30 PMAdmit it, you love it when I tie you up and call you slave.
Posted by: witchstone on April 9, 2003 04:05 PM"I love it when you call me slave." Wasn't that a song by Joan Armatrading?
Posted by: Mars Crash on April 9, 2003 10:44 PMI'm sorry kaf. I've been instructed to keep you out of April threads on order of death by firing squid.
I don't know what a firing squid is, but I hear it can be quite nasty. Don't you think it's time to go back to the future now?
Posted by: readymade on September 30, 2003 01:08 PMI'm thinkin' we need to adjust his meds, readymade.
