The Longest, Most Inconsistently-Off-Topic Thread in History

[Phil O]

Summer squash.

I just wanted to get back on topic.

Firstly, this isn't a mere upgrade of existing data-to-cloud interfacing. This is a new, personal cloud... or storm, snow storm and even a sun. Yes, you heard it first here, bud. It's a compact, personal weather system which acts as an aid to effective communification.

The interest in this new product must be sky high, it is already got out on the MonkeyRumors sites:

Yes, Baysey, it'll work indoors as long as there's sufficient moisture in the air to facilitate the darker emotional responses.

Billy, I've searched for well over 20 years for the English versions of that show; it was my favourite for many years (and still will be if it holds up) from the very first viewing. I only got to watch a handful of eps mind you over a period of perhaps 5 years. I've been awaiting the delivery of them since January. I sincerely hope that unlike the "Man from Atlantis", time will have been very kind to it. Let's face it, the show was unique. I loved the fact that the themes (there were two different ones at least) and the incidental music were performed by a fusioney poppy outfit in a tight room. There was a sense of immediacy and warmth about the music for want of a better description.

Sky high, eh? By that I assume you mean higher than the 3 feet of the portable weather system?

I wonder how all of Jungleville suddenly seems to know all about it now that I've told you. These coincidences keep occurring. There must be an ace investigative reporter out there somewhere who has no scruples.

Phil, I agree. Every time I've hoped to introduce a new topic lately, somebody's chosen to feed the monkey, and we all know what happens when we do that - someone's gotta clean up.

Fellas, that product teaser was accidentally posted unfinished. I hit "submit" instead of "preview" and wasn't able to log back on to update it 'till now, 11 hours later. The intention was only to update that post, but somebody's already fed the monkey again [points at all three of you]

Please feel free to reacquaint yourselves with the (updated) post; there's no charge.

Finally... to bed!

[billf]

Please feel free to update the post; there's no charge.

Okay, here's the update.

I invented Cloud Computers.

Yes, you did, and we give you full credit:

[Phil O]

Yes, I did read the sign. It said, "DON'T feed the monkeys." But they are so cute. I just can't help myself.

[monkey man]

Now, now, Phil-o-buster, settle down. Mind you, I can't blame you; Paris couldn't resist, remember? Remember how I used to go out and party with her and Lindsay? Lindsay used to drive (got her in a spot o' trouble on more than one occasion), while Paris and I enjoyed the back seat, Lohan... I mean, limo-style. I was happy to just cruise, and we did for a year or so, but eventually she succumbed to my rugged good looks. Yeah, I took rugged, good looks at her. What a babe; she was my girlfriend for a year. I changed my avatar after I gave her the flick; she interfered too much with the development of the MonkeyLabs Lackintosh Super-Mandibular Array™. Whenever she popped in to say hi at the plant, it cost us half a day.

As I said... I can't blame you, 'Buster.

Please feel free to update the post; there's no charge.

Ha ha ha!

Okay, here's the update.

You're just greasing me up 'cause you know I'm on the board that'll determine this year's E-Steamed Grand Poobah of Pooparazzi™ Award winner, Billy. Flattery will get you everywhere.

And now for something completely different. I always wanted to use a bunch of words in sentences, and have managed to combine some of my faves thusly:

That is how it is done outside of Oz. Inside of Oz, I understand the denizens use telepathy and magnets.

Yes, I too like chocolate cake.

[monkey man]

Agreed, Billy.

The odds of informacation in any quantititty's being communificated are dependent on imagicanation, edumacation and, IMHO, the coconnunderum of wheying up a possissible paradigidum shift.

For starters, you and your journo friends should learn to spell corructlaay - it's "sitizens", not "denizens". Geez. I can only do so much. Still love you though, bro', even though you're the ignoring ant.

Don't mean to sound condescentiding; it's just the way I come across these lofty days 'cause I'm up here and everyone else is, well, down there. Chat soon, Billy... if I can justify the time outlay.

[billf]

it's "sitizens", not "denizens"

Ahem, to quote the great Webster, Knower of All Words Great and Small:

den·i·zen (dn-zn)
n.
1. An inhabitant; a resident: denizens of Monte Carlo.
2. One that frequents a particular place: a bar and its denizens


As you can see, gambling and booze and monkeys all fit.

if I can justify the time outlay.

Good point! Though looking at this video I have to say, I think there's something to be said about hats. Where have all the cool hats gone? Ball caps are fine (I wear enough of them myself), but what happened to the pork pies, flat caps and fedoras? Music needs more than cowboy hats and ball caps, no?

Speaking of ball caps, if anyone thinks that a Vintage Santa Claus Cap is worth $10K, there's one on ebay you might want to bid on. Only $5 for shipping...

[billf]

Where have all the cool hats gone?

Our friend Monkey Man is the Official Keeper of Hat Knowledge, but as far as the cool hats, according to some random guy on a travel forum, the TSA lost all of them:

I lost me porkpie hat when I was flying from Liverpool to Glasgow last year. Or, more to the point, me thinks the TSA lost it.

So there you have it. It is on the internet, so it must be true.

[bayswater]

Is that Trans Siberian Airways? They lost my hat.

[billf]

Is that Trans Siberian Airways? They lost my hat.

That's because their baggage handlers are Yeti, and Yeti need warm hats in Siberia.

[bayswater]

Makes sense. It was a Sasquatch hat made from Ogopogo skin.
