• speech! speech!
• Congrats. Here are my bananas! (Including a guard)
• *throws confetti, blows horn*
• Seems so long ago that our user-count was only in the double-digits. We've come a long way, folks! ) ) ) Bananapunch ) ) ) all around!
• Okay, I brought the Cockpunch... Now, does "1000 or bust!!" mean a kind of "Monkettes Gone Wild" display is imminent? (And does that mean the "Space Kitty Bits" running joke is making a comeback?) Anyway, for those of who who didn't bother to go to the already existing "100 Monkeys" thread: Apparently, this is the monkey that turned the counter over: Sundown (Gordon Lightfoot), who is also known as "UberMatt". How ironic (Alanis Morrisette).
• Aren't we supposed to give a dollar to something now? Welcome Sundown. )
• I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don't confess Sundown you better take care If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs Sundown you better take care If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailors dream And she don't always say what she really means Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin'better when I'm feelin'no pain Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin'better when I'm feelin'no pain I can picture ev'ry move that a man could make Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake Sundown you better take care If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I fell like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans She's a hard lovin' woman got me feelin' mean Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin'better when I'm feelin'no pain Sundown you better take care If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs Sundown you better take care If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I fell like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again Sundown you better take care If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I fell like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again
• ;p
• Now, the 2000th MoFi member will have to be Edmund Fitzgerald.
• Okay, I brought the Cockpunch... Wendell, that was all kinds of rad.
• Woo!         )     ((()))   (((())))   (((())))     ((()))     ((()))       (()) A banana bunch?
• That looks like a bunch of grapes, but still impressive :)
• Craziness. Monkey #1000 is my brother; he must have read about it on my blog. I'll make sure to pester him to comment every once in a while.
• So uh...what now? Couple of thousand more, maybe?
• Oook! OOK OOK OOK! ) The Monkey King can't be far behind! Bring us the book from the west, o Monkey King!
• bevos, genial: Dems ain't grapes-- dey's upside down nanars!
• One mustn't forget Hanuman either. Wukong (The Monkey King, or actually Monkey God would be more fitting to his Chinese title [which means roughly The Saint Who Is Equal to Heaven {Qi1 Tian1 Da4 Sheng4 in Hanyu Pinyin or Seiten Taisei in Japanese}]) left his little kiddy monkeys behind to travel to the West, donchyaknow.
• sundown must now come out and play! immediately!
• ooo! lookee! do a google image search on sundown banana and look what comes up! weird banana boat riders!
• yep i'll always like that song... gordon lightfoot is some good stuff. one of the records i stole (oops, i mean "liberated") from my dad when i moved out of the house. now if only i could get a damn record player that would hook into my stereo for a decent price... all they seem to sell these days are turntables for scratchin'. 1000 monkeys, sittin' in the trees, cockpunch, nanners and flinging poopies...
• So how close are we to adding "In an effort to better handle the crowds, Monkeyfilter is no logner accepting new signups"? It will be interesting to see how MoFi handles this issue when it gets big enough. Another l33t venue in the making?
• And to think it all started on a tiny little bulletin board system with five people and now we're one big happy family. With poo. And bananas. *sniff*
• Craziness. Monkey #1000 is my brother that's beautiful pmdboi - *snif* I think we should all learn from his reaching out to other monkeys. He's my brother too! (can I say 'brotha' though? That always sounds cooler.) And now - bring forth the Space Kitty Bits! *clap* *clap*! rolypolyman you can enjoin more discussion about "size issues" at The Cult of Wendell
• I'm 1002... damn my timing! Hi everyone.
• Howdy ahfixtwothreesevenvee! Fancy name you got there! Have some bananas. )))
• afx... Actually, you got here early. Sundown is user #1045, which is #1000 in monkey-speak. Banana daiquiri for you.
• *counts on fingers, mumbles names If there's a thousand or so Monkeys, where are the rest of them? HEY, YOU! YAH, YOU! What are you doing lurking over there? Come out so we can see you. AND PUT SOME PANTS ON BEFORE YOU DO.
• dangit, there goes the time thingus on the posts again must be all them new-fangled furrin Monkeys comin' in an' messin' 'round with the keys
• is #1 reserved for Matt?
• Ok, ok. Now let's close membership and start making drawn-out, self-important threads about how we need to protect our online utopia from the unwashed masses.
• Mmmmmm unwashed masses
• is #1 reserved for Matt? Time to get a clue, Mister. Or you'll be looking at the eyebrow of death.
• Wolof, 100-ton hammer time? *hefts hammer hopefully*
• *whistles, looks in other direction*
• Let me be the first to scoff at these newbie 4-digit monkeys, and how easy they have it. Why, back in my day, monkeys only needed 2 digits. And did we complain? No siree. We got by on a mere handful of FPPs a day. And we were lucky if a post got 10 comments. And another thing....back then the comments were listed in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER!!!! Damn kids.
• Ach, now, monkeys need ten digits on each pair of hands! [monkey have a pair of fore-hands and a pair of hinderhands, for a total of twenty twiddling digits apiece]
• Electro-truncheons for everyone!
• *twiddles digits*
• I'm still jealous of the 1 digit crowd.
• I'm jealous of the 2 digit crowd. *looks sneeringly at dng*
