Draw a house, ignore the bad personality test. Flash-based sketch-a-house. Add it to MonkeyFilter Avenue or create your own neighbourhood.
  • Done (badly).
  • I conspicuously left myself out of my picture because I'm out trying to get a mortgage to buy my way out of my wet paper bag.
  • And is that *gasp* a lurker's house at no. 3??!
  • Methinks it is. I didn't know we had lurkers as neighbors. This is kinda hard with a trackpad instead of a mouse. Not that I would have done much better with a mouse. And yes, I'm passed out in the garden. Last night was rough!
  • Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. son. Cool, graded by Foghorn Leghorn himself!
  • I built my "Wonky Loveshack" but flash is a bit capricious under Firefox in Ubuntu, so couldn't claim title. Mine is the mystery shanty that's just brought down the price of property in the neighbourhood.
  • Number 5 is, like, wow. Abiezer???
  • Tis me! There goes the neighbourhood.
  • Most Foolish. Though I've just to number 7, if anyone fancies some tea and biscuits feel free to pop over.
  • Moved in that.
  • Is
  • Drawing with a mouse suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
  • I gotta get me a "dilapidated manor" like number 9...shweet. Why are the personality tests always RIGHT about me? *looks over shoulders, suspiciously*
  • Either the personality tests always get me wrong, or I don't know how to fill them. Meh. Anyway... party at Glass Manor at #13! Drinks on me! Everyone is invited! Except you, Weezel. Sleep it off.
  • party at Glass Manor at #13 I remember when I was five years old, I used to have make believe tea-parties with my he-man dolls and captain wombat. Now I have you people. Please kill me.
  • It's the slumlord of Mofi himself! You can rack my rent up any day, quid.
  • I drew a house, but couldn't figure out how to get it onto the street. Typical. I'll be outside, eating worms.
  • Quiddy, you're back! *HUGS*
  • Hi Al! Hi A_C! Hi kitfisto!
  • Hey, ya big non-Londoner! Have you brought pie?
  • Now if only I could afford the morgage payments on Dunpervin
  • Hm. I believe the personality test has uncovered my hidden MOPD: "You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone." "You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible." I also, am apparently unable to place my house on MonkeyFilter Avenue. *joins kitfisto at the worm banquet, offers BBQ sauce*
  • *glumly accepts BBQ sauce / makes worm taco*
  • Thought I bee-hived myself...but the picture won't let itself settle on the Avenoo. Might do better on A-Bee Road, who knows? Caution: the jokes here are a-bees'-maul!
  • I wanna live in Glass Manor! I couldn't figure out how to get my elegant Quonset Hut onto Monkeyfilter Avenue, but it's here.
  • #46 The Old Homestead. Actually tried to draw the house I grew up in, but drawing with a mouse sucks, so this house has less windows and is a little smaller. But it is close enough. Oh and I love mct's tepee.
  • I am liking the look of deconstructo's co-op!
  • #54. Watch the first step, though, it's a doozy. (If you can find the door, that is.)
  • No 55! You can tell I just watched 'Sleeper' on DVD, can't you?
  • Surprised you didn't place yourself in the Orgasmatron.
  • Some of these are amazing. I'll have you all know I did mine with just the trackpad on my laptop and a totally bum wrist. (Also, I can't draw, and so retreated to childhood. But that doesn't matter, the other factors mitigate more!)
  • I drew the best house ever, and then couldn't figure out how to add it to the street. Pass the worms please.
  • I also pass worms. Must've been that taco.
  • You know, any house-drawing personality test that neglects to ask "Did you draw a giant blood-shot eyeball surrounded by rays of power on your house?" just isn't up to snuff, in my opinion.
  • A bunch of you have the same personality as quiddy. May God have mercy on you all.
  • I grew up in #68, or something like it. But then again, I'm a lefty who mouses righty, so the drawing, she is not so accurate.
  • My first one sucked, so I drew another one, #70. Not enough rockets at the first one, and way too small to house all my minions. Anyone want to buy #49? Everyone needs a summer home.
  • I don't wanna.
  • Mine somehow automagically put it on Mofi Ave. Dunno how.
  • *wakes up, gets to feet, stumbles over to #13, stares longingly through window* *pees in garden* *wanders to worm banquet, gives quid a jocular punch on the shoulder*
  • It did same with my later treehouse effort
  • #71. Bring your skiing equipment in July, because you know it's below freezing as soon as you cross the border. Don't forget to bring a donation to help preserve the national igloo. Here's the analysis the test gave me. Some of you manage great drawing with the mouse. I'm jealous. I would move into brat's place in a heartbeat.
  • Damnit, Melinika, I was working on the National Igloo. Nice job, though! *pouts, sulks*
  • This nefarious test has made me reveal myself as a lurker. Damn you sneaky house drawing test! I see some people have more time to spare on drawing houses than I did.
  • Welcome to the Monkey House(s), bDiddy! Glad you could make it.
  • Yeah, welcome. Just lay off the worms, dude, they've got to go round.
  • I hate everyone who has managed to post. Get stunned, the lot of you. At least we've got worms.
  • Yes, everyone, please remember to save the worms for the homeless.
  • Especially at this time of year.
  • Kit, you just didn't make it past the Review Committee. Our neighbourhood does have standards, you know. Maybe you should try Baboon Alley or something.
  • There, look, I've run you up a little Kitty Korner (no 85 or thereabouts). Not up to your demanding artistic standards, of course.
  • Well done, Pleg. And in no small part because it's far from me.
  • #89 a camp for the homeless.
  • and don't forget to stop by for free candy and lemonade at Medusa's fun house (#91) BWAH HA HA HA HAH!!!! bratcat your offerings are fantastic!! I would live in any one of them...but right now off to the glass house for cocktails and worm-atizers....
  • Ack why won't mine show up in Mofi Ave? :-(
  • Oh well here's my pirate tree house and personality.
  • I like how there's advertising now. That wasn't there yesterday when Metachat linked it.
  • They wouldn't have me at Baboon Alley, either. Or Lemur Lane, Ape Avenue, Gibbon Gardens, Rhesus Road, Papio-Hamadryus Parkway, Capuchin Circle, Marmoset Mansions, or Simian Street. Can I have Tabasco on my diet of worms?
  • Did you try Howler Highway?
  • My moat has crocodiles! Yes. That's what those squiggles in the moat are. I am inside watching 9874836347 channels of tv brought to me by my rockin' sattelite dish, yo. Come back at five for the Boiling Oil show!
  • #104. Climb down and join me. Plenty of worms for all.
  • I moved my trailer in at #108. Helllllo life of MonkeyLeisure, goodbye property values. And there's a yeti living next door.
  • Sure, I move in and the whole neighborhood clams up. You guys are planning to pee in my geraniums, aren't you? My rabid squirrels'll learn ya.
  • sssshhhhhhh...
  • OK, for us wormeaters unable to build on Monkeyfilter Avenue, try the neighboring slum at Simian-Strainer Street.
  • Hmmm...shall I build a summer home there?
  • We can live/work on the same street right?
  • Nice job on the corporate headquarters! I've claimed my spot on Simian-Strainer. Right above the subway vents. A more permanent structure will come once I get a change in luck.
  • Didn't see your tree house before I made mine, Zanshin. I didn't make a tree swing. Or any porn. Now I'm sad.
  • come on up... swing a while and the porns-a-plenty!
  • Wow, who did #115? And sweet corporate headquarters. Is there a bus there from my place?
  • Damn real estate bubble! I'm living in my car on Simian-Strainer. I swear it's only temporary, until I acquire some money for a down payment and serious mousing skills.
  • Don't think you can park near any of my property! Try it and I'll tow ya.
  • HA! You fuckers on Simian-Strainer Street have a problem now! Check out number 7 and TREMBLE BEFORE MY WRATH!!!
  • Oh fuck. Did you see the street next door? Great. Just fucking great.
  • NickD, your gorilla has boobs and your mushrooms poison. You are one mean MoFi-mofo!
  • Playing with this street, we should do a MoFi version of Mr. Wong's Soup'Partments. Except have it be all sim-city like. Anyone know of any sites for creating virtual pixel based neighborhoods? It could be alot of fun to create a pixelated Monkeytown. Assign plots of land, have ownership rights, the ability to continue to modify property, etc.
  • I have successfully managed to move in to Simian Strainer. I am so proud of myself. *passes leftover worms down the line*
  • Every neighbourhood needs a meth shack.
  • I think I lved in that house once, Jane. Except the rusty pickup was red.
  • Is there a bus there from my place? Lara, your place IS a bus!!
  • "When it comes to love, you shut yourself off. It's difficult to win your heart because you have decided to keep your feelings deep inside. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people." Well, crap. Kinda hard to argue with that, considering the source material: House #160.
  • I am a leader. I seek out love. I live in a surf shack (in my dreams). I like my neighbors, mostly.
  • Don't bogart that worm, my friend. Pass it over to me. Guess nobody wanted to live next door to a stable. :( The BlueHorse HorseHouse was not accepted on any street.
  • NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
  • I'm #176 on MonkeyFilter Ave. My drawing skills seemed to peak at about age 5.
  • I've also staked a claim on Simian-Strainer, because sometimes you just need space to stand around and blow raspberries.
  • Ah, can't see a horsie without a place to rest from the day's hrad work... Here's your very own Ranch, BlueHorse! Btw, I never specified to include the houses on any given place; it just appears in the Monkey street after the 'personality analisis'.
  • That ranch is teh awesome!
  • Yeah, I figgered out what I was doing wrong. If you click on tracicle's first link, it takes you to where you build your house and it automatically places it on MoFI Ave. I was going to the second link, to VIEW MoFi Ave, and clicking "Draw a House" from there. Silly chimp, me.
  • Yeah, well it's all a bit late now! I'm full of worms! *cries*
  • Come on, kit. Move your wormy self to the neighborhood. We won't make fun of you. much
  • I can't be chuffed now. My house yesterday was so fab it could never be repeated. *Sadly throws pebbles into moat. Yes, that's right, moat. It had a moat.*
  • If this post has revealed anything, it's how many lurkers are out there. HEY LURKERS! PLEASE COME OUT AND PLAY! IF MOFI IS LEFT TO THE COLLECTIVE WITS OF PETEBEST AND I, THIS SITE IS DOOMED! We won't bite. Well, maybe moneyjane, but she's a pro -- she knows what she's doing.
  • Indeed.
  • I, however, am rank amature, but will still bite.
  • I thought your thing was to suck. Woop! Woop! Woop! Woop! Woop! *Curly-shuffles off stage right*
  • *secretly low-fives petebest*
  • Ah, never mind these three... stooges. De-lurk, lurkers. New blood is always good.
  • yes, and when I bite I like to drawn fresh blood! I mean...um! welcome lurkers, join in the warm furry embrace of monkey love....
  • just imagine the thread length if every lurker was to join in! I think we should try and organise it.
  • Offhand Manor has been built at 205 Monkeyfilter Avenue. Just a little something for path and me. Her wing's the one with the huge windows and stained glass.
  • We now have the best Neighborhood Watch ever at #11 Sim-Suck St.
  • It's really hard to draw with a touch pad. My house looked like it was done by a three year old with both arms in casts.
  • Maybe there should be an official "lurkers check in" thread! Everyone could just say hi, then go back to lurking if they wanted.
  • P.S. Moneyjane, I went to your meth shack, but some dog jumped out of that rusty truck out front and bit me!
  • That was just Quid. 'Sokay he's had his shots.
  • Then we could draw the lurkers into amusing exchanges, and then it would be like a great big fluffy mofi love in!
  • kitfisto, I think the idea of "a great big fluffy mofi love in" is exactly why they're lurking.
  • Yeah. Your report from the clinic was mailed to them accidentally. They know where you've been.
  • Flagpole is my hero!! Thank you, THANK YOU, Flagpole, how can I ever repay you? I promise never, ever to leave road apples laying around the place. **strolls casually over to Zanshin's lawn**
  • Screw you guys. I'm going home. Oh, wait. I haven't got one. Balls. *opens another microwave worm dinner for one*
  • Buy Microworm. When you want a hearty feast, but don't have the time to make worms from scratch.
  • now in 5 delicious flav-R-combos! HungryMan Humus Delite Epicurean Earthworm Casserole Nightcrawlers pesto with potatobugs o'gratin Chowfun worms in black bean sauce Worms o' the world pilaf with fresh birddoodoo topping!
  • Or try new Microworm & beans! It's like the backyard in a can!
  • I prefer Red Wigglers - The Cadillac of Worms
