Can I just be depressed that major authors don't come to Utah?
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Yeah, well, that's great... that I can go see him AGAIN. Cuz, y'know, he hasn't been at a million events here for the last week.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

You know, if I wasn't a nice person, I think I'd hex you.  Hm.  Sounds fun.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

You can go ahead and TRY to hex him, that would provide me some entertainment.  No, go ahead, do it.  ;D

the ninja monkeys do not respond well to hex threats. Expect them in the next few minutes.

I don't think I will.  Ninja monkeys always make such a mess.  They never return the books they borrow and they always get jam in the peanut butter jar.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

And, apparently, butter all over themselves. Sweet buttered monkeys! (An image that returned to me this weekend because of all the ninja monkey talk.)

So he does talk about them outside of the forum. I bet his wife surely enjoys taming all of them and getting them ready for their missions. And his children, I'm sure, find the responsibility of picking up after the monkeys (you know, you, know).

Actually, SE didn't have a whole lot to do with it this time. It was Brenna and I, who saw something about monkeys in the program.

I refer everyone to this page again. Specifically this image.

Also, brand new one, in honor of the game that is discussed tomorrow. but since my FTP access isn't working, you must wait.
