Dude. Monkey never gets old.

You can shock it, spank it, puzzle it, bar it, see it, do it--monkey is the monkey wrench of the funny.

Yeah—everything but get the furry little sucker offa the Buffistas' backs.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think the monkeys are keeping Gus away.

Honestly, monkey just isn't funny anymore, even to those of us for whom it was never funny. And I know that makes no sense, but really, all the fun is gone. Monkey. Monkey. Monkey. See? It's just flat. You guys killed the monkey.

Cindy hates my tag. sniff

I think the monkeys are keeping Gus away.

There is in fact a travel book called (approx.) "Do Not Touch the Monkey: Things I Learned About Travelling Abroad".

Gus, by another name, or a book he needed before going?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Proposal: That we open this year's Goodbye to 2003/Thank You to Secret Santas thread as soon as we've moved to our new server and agreed on a name.

The reason -- I came home after T-day weekeng to a mystery gift from an anonymous Buffista! I can't be the only one, so it looks like time to open out annual thank you thread.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Second, although I don't think we need to vote on it because it's been a standing holiday thread for a couple of years now. It more a matter of reopening a temporarily closed thread, like F2F.

That works for me.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Agreed. Although if you want a vote on when to open the thread, I'll provide a second.

(BTW, do we have a date scheduled for the move?)

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

No, we don't. We're out by the end of this month, hook or crook, but right now we're waiting for the server to be set up by the new hosts.
