May 10, 2005 : In the Shadows, a Dark Monkey Watches


Just to let you all know that I am, in fact, still alive, here's a picture of a nice monkey I took this weekend.

People have said these things about that :

Also, are all you reprobates on Flickr yet?

Posted by: kaf on May 10, 2005 06:25 PM

That is NOT a nice monkey.

Yeah, but there's not much up yet except for random MeFi images I've used to piss people off with the [img] tag and some old pictures of our cat, but here's a short set of the wild turkey that has been coming to our feeder every day for a week now if anyone is interested.

I still don't believe that you're alive.

I had a brain tumour. And I had visions. I believe the visions caused the brain tumour and not the reverse. I could feel the visions coalesce and become flesh, uncontrollable flesh.

It's true, I tell you! It's true!!!

How was your day at work?

Today was the big annual meeting, which is just about my busiest day of the year. We had all kinds of presentations, two videos, and a skit we put together. The opening video had a boxing theme (don't ask) and at the end, the CEO was supposed to be standing on stage in a spotlight, wearing boxing gloves.

So the lights go down, and I help him put the gloves on - he's kind of crouched down beside my chair. And the video ends, he jumps up to run to the stage, and bumps his portable mike loose from his belt (it's still connected to his collar) and says "OH, SHIT!" right into the mike. So I jump up, grab the mike thingie, which is supposed to hook onto his belt, and I have to STICK MY HAND IN THE WAIST OF HIS PANTS in front of 500+ people to rehook the mike - he can't do it, he's wearing boxing gloves!

I think I need a raise.

I didn't GO to work today, tizzie. You KNOW that. I ate BONBONS and watched TEEVEE with my buddy CRASH.

Damn employed people. Always trying to make us dregs of society feel guilty.

On the other hand, I have never worked at a company that puts on skits, of any kind, so I gotta feel good about that.

Posted by: yhbc on May 11, 2005 10:52 PM

Heh.

Posted by: ColdChef on May 11, 2005 10:53 PM

Did anyone else have to sift through the ashes of a burned down home looking for remnants of 9 cats?

No?

I win.

(Not my house. Not my cats.)

Did anyone else have to edit together video of child molesters, victims of child molestation, "Little House on the Prairie",and Nancy Grace?

Hmmph. I win.

I got a rock.

Uh...I hand the baton to Vidiot.

Posted by: ColdChef on May 12, 2005 09:44 AM

ColdChef -- you play your cards right, maybe one of your work days can also become one of Vidiot's work days.

Posted by: aine42 on May 12, 2005 12:12 PM

ColdChef, how could you not have a digital camera for when breaking news like this happens?

Posted by: dana on May 12, 2005 01:25 PM

Aertker said the monkeys are not aggressive and pose no threat to people.

That's what they say when they want to instill a false sense of calm. That's when the flesh-eating monkeys burst through the basement window and begin eating your face off.

I'm pretty sure.

Posted by: readymade on May 12, 2005 01:48 PM

OMG!! I could be there in, like, an hour! Curse B&H! If only I had that camera today!

(Other thing I could have photographed had I only a new camera: my grandfather was working on a model airplane today and underestimated the power of it's gas(!) engine. It completely severed half of his finger. I had to rush him to the hospital and the only car I had available was...yes...the hearse. Got that bitch up to 95, though. And he's fine, now. We were unable to find the end of his finger in time, so he'll have a nub. Other than that, you can bet there will be a lot of jokes about "finger foods" and "telling the doctor he can keep the tip." Just another exciting day around the funeral home.)

Posted by: ColdChef on May 12, 2005 06:55 PM

Oh, and I asked if there were any fresh bodies in the morgue that wouldn't mind missing a finger. The hospital staff didn't find that as funny as we did.

Posted by: ColdChef on May 12, 2005 06:57 PM

In the spirit of charity, I vote that we all give ColdChef's grandfather the finger.

Posted by: Vidiot on May 12, 2005 07:04 PM

Bless you.

Posted by: ColdChef on May 12, 2005 08:04 PM

Vidiot! *swat*

Christ, that cracked me up.

9622.net: we all give ColdChef's grandfather the finger.

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on May 13, 2005 05:09 AM

ColdChef and his grandfather are in the clear.

Unless, of course, it was an elaborate, multi-state scam spanning months of preparation and possibly even going back in time, since I don't know from the brief description above when, exactly, ColdChef's grandfather lost his finger.

Posted by: yhbc on May 13, 2005 05:48 PM

Maybe we should ask this guy.

Posted by: Vidiot on May 14, 2005 12:03 AM

Clearly, there are WAY too many fingers flying around the country at the moment for anyone to - well - point the finger at any one.

I would also like to point out that in the article I helpfully linked to above, Police Chief Rob Davis is actually quoted as saying,

"the jig is up."

How great is that!!! I mean, you can just feel the palpable and seething jealousy/hatred from everyone that ever, ever, had contact with Police Chief Rob Davis from Junior Police Academy on, because they didn't end up in a position in which they could legitimitly say, and be quoted as saying,

"the jig is up."

I mean, wow.

Posted by: yhbc on May 14, 2005 12:37 AM

I didn't spell "legitimitely" right, did I?

OK, who here is consorting with underage youngsters from the Wyoming Public School System?

Where in the world have I been, I'm so lost and confused! And for some reason, I can no longer pick my nose....
