I think chasing monkeys is okay. Actually hitting them with your umbrella, probably not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe the umbrella has a picture of a charging tiger on it... then the monk could open and close the umbrella rapidly, scaring the shit out of the monkeys.
I was attacked by a heifer once....

A Buddhist monk gave me a super dirty look one day because when he was walking past I was actually saying something like, "I hate mosquitos!" He flashed me a terrible look and I wanted to say, "Listen, motherfucker, aren't you supposed to be all non-judgmental!?"

Have I mentioned my neighbor, he of the hacking persistent cough? I'm in my living roon, with the windows closed and the TV on, he's in the apartment one floor below me and one apartment over, and I can still hear him, and it's been going on for at least a month.
You give me hope that the two weeks I've spent hacking and coughing have been as annoying to my downstairs neighbors as their 3 am raised-voice rants and door knocking were to me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today's oatmeal was made with milk, almonds, and sugar-free Irish Cream syrup.
I am pronouncing it a success.

When Olbermann read that last night, he was sooo geeked out over the fact that John Cleese actually wrote something for his show. Well, he was also (still) geeked out over the fact that John Cleese actually watches Countdown.
After he read it, complete with a spotlight on him from above, they cut to Rachel Maddow who was cracking up both from the poem and from the lighting. "I want that lighting!! We can do so much with that over here!" It was a pretty hilarious ending to the show last night.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's up, it's down, it's up, it's a barrel of monkeys
Only a lot less fun.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Agent Kate is a nice lady with an iron fist. I'm finishing up my manuscript for Sam, and doing polishing tonight before I send it in the morning. Plus! I'm supposed to have the Sam drawings today!
And I'm utterly terrified.
Right now, I'm bringing Sam home, and he's meeting Nina, and they fall in love. I'm calling the chapter Home Is Wherever She Is.
Which is slightly lame, but what it is.
