I’m Pretty Sure That’s Not The Way It Was Supposed To Happen…
August 17th, 2011Adam faceplants on his longboard at 30mph without a helmet and cracks his head like a watermelon, dropped on the pavement.
Cale downshifts into neutral instead of first and misses a jump landing ramp, snapping his sternum and his 5th and 6th Cervical vertebrae.
Brent takes a 6″ eyebolt through the forehead when it comes loose from a workout machine, and slingshots back at him.
Miraculously, no one dies.
Everyone ends up at the same hospital, though.
I paint a massive “Get Well Soon, Stupid!” face on the grass of the park outside their hospital windows since giant cards work well for me and it’s pretty much the only view they’ve got for the next couple of weeks. It may be a while before some of them can actually look out the window, but hopefully it will last that long since it’s spray painted onto the lawn.Be careful out there, folks…

Run-In With a Sweatopotamus
Monday, March 22nd, 2011At a political protest rally, someone tries to hand me a flyer, and although I side with their protest, I disagree with various of their reasons, methods, and the “show” they’re putting on, which basically offends me at many levels (which is saying a LOT), and I turn down the offered propaganda.
I walk across the street, to watch from a distance, where I’m approached by a fat guy with a goatee, wearing a beret and a “secret service” earpiece.
FatGuy: What agency do you work for?
Monkey: {surprised/confused} Sorry… what?
FatGuy: CIA? FBI? Home Security?I’m wearing a pair of Vans and a t-shirt of Matt Wagner’s Grendel, and this sweatopotamus thinks I work for some government agency because I refused to take one of their flyers, yet continued to watch from a distance?
Monkey: No agency, mate. Just watching.
FatGuy: {disbelieving/sarcastic} Uh huh…He walks away a few steps before turning back to deliberately snap my photo, give me the stink-eye, and continue to walk around the perimeter of the rally, ready to expose other potential government paid fascists who are there to halt their right to free speech, protest and slander.
I’m annoyed that I didn’t think to snap a photo of him to put up here, but more annoyed that I didn’t recover from my initial shock that anyone would mistake me for a government agent quick enough to play head games with him.
As the rally turns into a march, I see sweatopotamus at the lead, checking for snipers on nearby grassy knolls, and I wonder how many burgers or packs of smokes it would cost me to have some of the ”local” homeless guys tackle him while screaming “23-19!! We have a 23-19!!””
Interesting times.
