I like Monkeys

[Fr8monkey]

Why am I alone in thinking that monkey story sucked?

I agree! There are more notable entries that are better than this drivel. Please let it die.

So again, how could this become a sticky? Funny, but not in such a degree that it is worth to get a permanent place on the top of the H&J board. Maybe I'm just jealous, albeit being also confused about it.

I agree with you. It's funny, but more in a; "where the hell did that come from" way than a; "what a really funny story" way. But Lefty appears to have some sort of unhealthy, possibly sexual attraction to it, so .

Edit it, dude, just edit it!

I agree. It's worth a chuckle, but it doesn't deserve a sticky.

I think it was very boring and nonsensical. Not funny, don't know why it was stickied...

 

[eastsidebagel]

BTW Huayna, why did you delete my qoute from your sig? I just noticed it and now I'm kinda saddened by it...
Oh, and I think if this story deserves to be stickied, then at least every second or so post of mine has the same right.

"And who doesn't like rabbi meat?" instead of the classic:
"If life gives you lemons, trade them for crack!"
Are you serious?

"Rabbi meat" needs sigging more because it's a typo, not a phrase that will easily still be being use in the forums five years from now. Hell, I've already used it once in RL. And he appears to have changed it back anyway.

Wise decision indeed, Huayna!
And I'm happy that people begin to bring my posted crap from here into their real lifes.
Thank you guys, that means a lot for me!

Is it safe to post here again?

Anyway, something I found in the Internet:

A baby monkey tried to climb the top of a palm- tree, but when it was half- way up, it slipped and fell to the ground. A party of tourists happened to be standing under the palm-tree and they laughed at the monkey’s misadventure. The tiny animal, however, did not accept the defeat, but with a stubborn look on its face, and more determination than is usual in such a creature, it almost threw itself at the tree, and with desperate movements scrambled up again as fast as it could, angrily waving its tail.
It reached the half- way mark and without pause it went higher and higher. At last it got to the top, and with a triumphant shriek seized a coconut and threw it down. It didn’t hit anyone but the tourists standing near the tree immediately scattered with cries of anger and fear. However, those who were further away clapped and applauded the agile and revengeful little animal.

Funny? Not in the least! But when you imagine that you were being the monkey, this story works sometimes as good as a couple of "Courage Wolves", I think.

I'm not sure you want it, it sounds like it would be pretty hardcore stuff.

What does this mean?

If you don't want to get banned from here for at least a week, adher to the linked forum rules and try to contribute something to the discussions going on in this forum, instead of spamming like I did, or being rude or hurtful to others. For every misfit you commit you're getting points and when you've accumulated more than seven, you're automatically restrained to post here anything. Lurking's still OK though, and you still are able to send PM's, but actually participating here by your contributions is not possible by then. For every thing you do against the stated rules, you're getting proportionally more or less points, according to the severeness of your offense. Basically, the mods are your new gods and you have the right to remain silent.

What does this mean?

"Spam" in this context, means deviating too much from the subject of the thread, or too many posts empty of new relevant content.
It is a meaning, so far as I know, peculiar to several Civilization related sites, and a poor use of a word meaning more commonly meaning unwanted disallowed advertising, but there it is, outside my authority to change it.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Is it really related to Civ sites? i could have sworn having seen it used in other places, and even in speech for the same thing.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

I do not get around much anymore at least not to many non Civ related forums. So my experience of that usage being limited to Civ related sites could be do to small sample size.

Spam e-mail is e-mail without a relevant subject; so it fits the definition
