Time To Light The Monkey?

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

Image

The 3rd Annual Burning Monkey Festival is but days away. I have been told, we cannot use Rozi's Building anymore. He seemed upset from the animals, the fire, the monkeys, and the people on the roof. Though he loved serving wine before and after.

Maybe from the clock tower at Marc's Plaza.

Any suggestions?

Jim,

Would you post links to the photos and discussion of last year's burning monkey drop?

I think that a little reminder of that heart-warming event could really draw an even bigger crowd this year.

8) It might not have the drama of a multilevel drop, but I sorta like that new ticket shack at the new Harding.

I am predicting that Harding will lead Lakewood to historic heights and by featuring its multi-hectare playing field the LO could highlight this new prominence.

Good point, and one not far from the LO NY Party!

Jim,

Have you picked up a monkey from the lab yet?

Nope, remember Brian's bite wound last year! We never did find out
what they were testing with that monkey.

They deliver that afternoon, tranquilized.

:shock: Heather---welcome to "The Twilight Zone" , the bizzaro aspect of the Lakewood Observer and the Deck.

Because the flashbacks caused by the LSD I mistakenly took a VERY long time ago are only now wearing off, do I have a vague understanding of what's being proposed here.

But basically, I think that all prior building owners and businesses have decided that one burning monkey is one too many, the LO apparatchik is now in search of an alternate site to drop this monkey.

Just so everybody knows, these are product testing lab rescue monkeys. They are usually in pretty bad shape, and with awful rashes, so most of them don't even live long enough to hit the pavement.

What we do is not only a kindness, but a celebration to bring in the new year with hope for testing lab monkeys and all primates, including us.
