I'd become a little too introspective in my posts, and wanted to lighten the mood some. Cleaning up some files on my computer, I ran across the following email exchange between my friend Mike and myself. I believe that I had mentioned Mike earlier - the guy cracks me up. We were both bored at work a few years ago, and just got to rambling about Monkeys. I've edited all non-pertinent information (regular email stuff) out.
....How many incontinent Helper monkeys does it take to refurbish an
average sized Victorian bathroom... in November... Presuppose the monkeys
have poor organizational skills... also assume that one monkey is just the
vehicle for another's thematic festival of light and distance...

festival of light and distance" (the "Company") and the Employee

Monkey no clear. Monkey in state of unatendance. Monkey afraid of
past/future convergence.
Despite the employment contract and its subsequent acceptance
without negotiation, the aforementioned employee has achieved a status
of non-compliance with said employees rating and overall ability to operate
substandard equipment and machinery.
The interpreted note of the original text document would indicate a
technique of confusion and stimulus to better enhance " Monkey's " over
all parameters.
end note.
* The previous advisement was taken an summarized from
chapter seven of the instructional text
" The Monkey That Works For Me " * 1937*
MONKEYS OVER ALL PARAMETERS
A STUDY OF TECHNIQUES IN ENHANCEMENT BY CONFUSION THROUGH STIMULUS

a. Temporal confusion
b. Workload exceptions
i. Terminating before hiring
ii. Use of substandard equipment and machinery
c. Acceptance without negotiation
C. To expose findings through lens of so-called "Jane Goodall Effect"
II - FINDINGS (MODIFIED 8/7/02 3:20pmPST)
A. Aural hallucinations in the form of requests, suggestions and commands
a. Parameters met to satisfaction
i. "Monkey hate clean" seems to illicit screams of what can only be
described as urgent approval

B. Strobe lights and beer
a. Parameters exceeded
i. "Nonattendance" - disassociation and confusion, followed closely by
vomiting

i. A frenzied dash to the door was accompanied by the sounds of xxxxxx
III - CONCLUSION
The findings have shown, without any real or meaningful divergence
of opinion, the utopia of "Affen uber alles" (Aldous Huxley 1954) or
"Monkeys over all parameters" (Desilets summary of "The Monkey that Works
For Me" 2001) will be a sustainable reality within a few short decades.

Appendix to previous summery:1923*
Translated From original manuscript , 1906*.

" I would begin only to presuppose that a Monkey that shares a
brain with another Monkey is a most interesting Monkey, indeed. The
abnormality of the dual or in some cases tri shared monkey brain is a
vague effort in the duality of what we deem as " the Syndrome ", or more
often referred to as post reflexive Monkey panic. Is often found to be,
in most ways, the detracting factor in the Primate labor industry.
It was theorized that when a Monkey "rents" a space in another
Monkey's brain the original test subject shows signs of motor
improvement fed by the subjects terrible anxiety associated with the
transfer..
translators note: much of the text was lost in " The Great
Laboratory Fire of 1908".
" Monkey non pattern.stop.
Monkey dual brain test.stop.
monkey is most displeased." subject became unclear as to
his portion of natural Brain. Subject Now worships a medium weight bag
of yams.
Also demonstrates voilent tendencies.

Well, there's your proof that acid did leave some lasting marks.
;)
LOL!
Hey hey we're the Monkees cause people say we Monkey-around, but we're too busy being read about on KOM's Blog to put anybody down!
That exchange always makes me laugh, and I'm glad that I run across if from time to time. Yes, we did (and still do) have too much free time.
Thanks, Fruitfly - I was beginning to feel secure in my "sanity".
LOL! That's a bit insane... ;)
Sanity should never be a goal. Insanity is far more interesting.
Sane people are normal, and normal is boring.
At least, that's how I like to justify my own craziness.
FF, you should teach shop at a mental hospital! I feel better now. If only I could do something about the clown whispering under my bed...
BTW, if anyone cares, the wheels are turning and I think I may have convinced my friend mike to start a blog. Once it happens you won't be dissapointed. The operative word being "once". This guy is a notorious procrastinator - he would show up late for his own wedding. But I'll keep the pressue on and let y'all know if anything comes of it.
