Is there an official Monkey Day cocktail? Because my annual performance review is in 45 minutes, and after that, all bets are off.

If you want me, I'll be in the bar.

I'd recommend the Monkey Gland.

God, I need a fucking drink-- just had to deal with someone so dens that they couldn't get their email to send so they FAXED me an email.

TJ, I'll join you - and make mine a double! Fax it over, will ya?

Vidiot, I am taking that recipe with me tonight. I promise a photo of the result (the drink, not me in a heap on the bar room floor.)

If Pimms Cups were the official drink of this summer's monkey jaunt to NYC, I declare the Monkey Gland required drinking at TizzieCon '07.

Woah. Brainstorm.

The 9622.net Cocktail Tour.

Wow. Monkey Day just so happens to fall on the day that romakimmy begins staying with us for two weeks.

Coincidence? Hardly, methinks.

It also falls on the same day as my work anniversary. Definitely not a coincidence.

I think this calls for drinks! I'd make a monkey gland, but I've got no orange juice in the house. (Absinthe I've got. But OJ? Pfft.) Guess I'll have a Pimm's Cup instead.

Yeah, I'm still looking for grenadine that doesn't just taste like sweet goo.

I've made and consumed a monkey gland. The drink kind, I mean. I'm a fan of Pernod and its ubiquitous anisey brethren, so I gave it the opposable thumb up.

Behold the Monkey Gland! I'm not a big grenadine fan, but the Pernod made it complex and definitely drinkable.

Woo!

My simian bonafides are excellent - but I am not drinking anything that looks that much like a tomato soup spritzer. Buhhhhleh.

I find your lack of faith disturbing, admiral...

Grazie mille to ColdChef for the MiX-Mas CD! And to sneaky-pete ufez for surprising me :D

Glad you like it! Still a few copies left, folks!

Got my Chef mix today, too. Can't wait to take it for a spin.

Got mine too, Chef. Them's some tuneful babies you got there, sir.

It has the Hasselhoff!

Woot! I'm nationwide!

Got mine today...thanks!

Have any of you ever cooked a duck? After reading the LA Times article today, I'm tempted to try it. Am I courting disaster?

And where are the pictures from Dallas?

The wimmen-folk are out shopping, but the creation of a very special shoutout started last night. We'll see when we get around to it...

By the way, if you're traveling this holiday season, the TSA knows about us.

The TSA better not even think about touching my monkey, bastards.

And this is good:

The question posted was: "Can you carry a mini-snowglobe on an airplane?"

I couldn't help but notice the first answer was "Nice try terrorist."

Merry Christmas, you great apes.

"Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him...

...and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us!"

Merry Christmas, you magnificent apes :)

Dickens was a dry, humorless, verbose bastard - but that bit, he got right.

It sucks having to be Santa. I want to go back and be Santa-ed.

No way - being Santa is ten times better than relying on others to be Santa. For one, you be sure that your loved ones are properly and completely Santa'd (you leave it to someone else? Who the fuck knows what's going to happen? Not you). Second, serving as Santa gives you license to serve as your own Santa during the post-Holiday sales, which in turn ensures that you get exactly what you want for Christmas, albeit a week or so late, and you don't have to justify doodly squat to the authorities. Why yes, I DID buy myself 146 neckties and a pair of cufflinks in the shape of skull-and-crossbones - how are you enjoying that nice Futzbubbler Deluxe under the tree on Christmas morning, just like you wanted, hmm?

Fes has opened my eyes. I am a man reborn.

Woke up this morning, couldn't find my oldest girl (2). Found her in the living room, asleep on her beanbag. Apparently on Santa patrol.

We'll never be able to keep this ruse up with her on the case.

Chef -- a little whiskey in her evening cocoa and you're all set for a few moments of Santa time while she sleeps it off.*

Happy Christmas, all. I hope Santa brings you all the Futzbubbler Deluxes you asked for, and then some.

(*Note: I am not a parent, nor do I play one on TV. I think we can all see why.)

I hope all you miserable macaques had a joyous frakking holiday and all that. I spent mine curled up in a ball in the back of my closet, with Chef's soundtrack echoing through the barren ravines of my mind like the death rattle of a stillborn puppy. (Also, there was eggnog. Yay!)

Seriously, a heartfelt thanks to Cold Chef, and a happy new year to all. Let's hope it's a good one. Without any fear.

It's only the icy grip of fear wrapped tightly round my spine that I look forward to every year.

Shoutouts!

*weeps softly to himself*...

ARGH! I blame the two week continuing jet lag for my shitty memory.

*pours 40's for all the people we missed*

All better.

yay!

Aww. My very first Care Bear/vodka shoutout.

Do I want to know why you were playing a Care Bear game? Or, more importantly, who won?

*coughkafkaesquecough*

Well aine, the sis had a thing for Carebears when she was a wee thing and our mother has a penchant for funky joke gifts. Thus when Ma saw a Carebears checker set at Tuesday Morning, it was inevitable that it ended up under the tree.

We'll say the carebear with the vodka won.

A 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.
