• It ain't a double but it's old and sappy and would probably embarrass the hell out of Johnny Cash.
• awww... I kinda liked it. Especially the 'Wanted' poster. You think we can get one of those for a sub-logo?
• That song is a pantload, even if the great man did sing it.
• And if anyone says "What? You mean Don Henley?", I will stamp my ickle foot.
• <blasphemy> I liked the Karen Carpenter version. </blasphemy>
• I liked the Karen Carpenter version. I found it a bit skinny.
• I like the Emi Fujita version best. And if anyone had found Karen Carpenter skinny, she might still be around.
• What? If somebody had said, "Gee, Karen, you look like you could use a sandwich", she would have started eating normally? It's unfortunately how Karen saw Karen that would have had to change.
• Unfortunately, people who've decided they don't like their body are bad at listening to contrary opinions, Alnedra. I once had a girlfriend who thought her sister was better looking; she wasn't but my saying it wasn't so got me dismissed as crazy 8-/
• Jinx!
• I don't get it. Why a monkey? What's that got to do with anything? The desperado is a monkey? I don't get it. And I hate the fucking eagles, man.
• B/c we're ALL monkeys, Nostril.
• "Tis good, and 'twas.
• I knew I had seen this here before! Praise to your hivemind, beeswacky.
• Jeez, I didn't even notice. I'll leave this one up, since the original link was some time ago.
• Wow, MonkeyFilter has gotten old enough to have posts so old their doubles are let stand. *gapes in simian wonder*
• Stupid double posts, making me decide stuff. *sniffs*
• It was between Christmas and New Years - we were all too bleary eyed to see it properly. Okay, I was too bleary eyed. And away from the internet.
• Wow, MonkeyFilter has gotten old enough to have posts so old their doubles are let stand. Yeah, good for us, eh?
• So many new monkeys since the first post, this is obviously fresh to quite a few. Seems to be difficult for us to know exactly what word or phrase we should use in a search -- for example, neither using "Johnny Cash" nor "Desperado" brings up Sullivan's first post. Searching for "monkey" results in a long, long list of possible FPPs. Searching for "chimp" doesn't bring it up at all. Using "cowboy", it turns out, does work, but how many of us would persist in searching to this point I don't know. I could recall the first post happening around January or December, though wasn't sure exactly when, so it took me a while to pinpoint the original by searching, item by item, through the Jan-Dec archives. Realize some monkeys seem irritated by double posts, but to me, the comments from a seond post, such as this one, with now more monkeys to comment than was the case back in early days of December, can often be just as good if not better.
• I don't give much of a fuck if it's a double, myself, but others (including #1!) seem to. If I've pointed a few out, it's more in the nature of an in-joke.
• I agree with Wolof. Also, usually when I point out a double its more to highlight the previous conversation. Although 78 consecutive posts about that bloke selling that wedding dress might have been too much...
• I hear the train a-comin' it's rollin' round the bend and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on but that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone For what it's worth, this and Orange Blossom Special were the ones of his that first grabbed me. Didn't plan to be grabbed. But sometimes these things just happen.
