A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

have we all realised that we're all going to this effort just as the show is about to end? It tickles . . . .

Actually, that's a good reason to go through this process now. We're going to have to make some big decisions as to the future direction of this board...

In order to keep this thread from going 12 hours without a post, I was going to post a lengthy opinion piece on the recent discussions. But as a courtesy to skimmers I shortened it to highlight just the fighting words:

Quorum ..... Representation ..... Majority ..... Moratorium ..... Australiiiiiia ..... Deathmatch ..... Voter Turnout ..... Abstension ..... Discussion ..... Ballot ..... Policy ..... Consensus ..... Monkey ..... Preference ..... Headache

IJS.

Thanks for all the fish.

I was going to turn that list of fighting words into something porny, but then I realised that it would involve monkeys, and that's just wrong.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In that case, I think someone should inform the monkeys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dave Chappelle has a brilliant porny bit about man monkey love.

I'd try and recap it, but there's a reason he has his job, and I have mine, and it has nothing to do with his lack of mad computer skillz.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

For some reason, all this monkey talk keeps earworming me with the 'Abba Dabba Honeymoon' song.

... in monkey talk
means 'chimp, I love you too'
the big baboon one night in June
married them and very soon
they went on their abba dabba honeymoon...

Or words to that effect. I feel it should be filkable, but I'm not up to it today.

Besides, I'm nattering in Like Kafka.

Bad me.

Edit: x-post with Cindy. Sorry.

Yeah, as the saying goes, the love of monkey is the root of all evil. But as the other saying goes, MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY!
