I’ve named this fellow Socrates.
1 “I don’t know; the world has gone crazy.”
–David Letterman
2 The man is a sage.
3 Well now this is always a fun thing.
4 I had written an entire DN last night, and was done at 12:30, and realized that for some idiotic reason, I hadn’t saved anything I wrote.
5 It’s just as well.
6 It had nothing to do with that GREAT monkey at the top of the page.
7 I was just monkeying around online and saw that, figured he had to be a headliner.
8 Good times.
9 I didn’t even care what the DN was going to be about as long as that guy was headlining.10 Smart guy, that monkey. Wise beyond his years.11 He’s thinkin’: “Today is a classic example of why Tuesdays need to be eliminated altogether.12 “Nobody is taking today seriously, unless they are under the thumb of some sourpuss dickwad boss or professor. Two words: blanket game.”13 Hey, I never said that. I’m far too moral. The monkey said that. I thought he ought really to have a name. I checked his demeanor, style, and everything else he exudes, and decided his name should be Socrates. No reason, it’s just that the chimp got game.
10 If I stuck a picture of the REAL Socrates up there, that monkey would look smarter.
11 Here:
12 Personally I prefer the monkey.13 Was Socrates gay? That coiffed beard and cutesy thing with the sideburns would indicate so. Plus he enjoyed wearing robes and hanging with thoughtful men.
14 Doesn’t matter, of course. It’s just that the monkey looks better than Socrates, but this is coming from a layperson.15 I am curious…was Socrates gay…hmmm…
16 Because if he was, he never got any men.
17 Well, LOOK at him.18 M’bad.
19 Moving on: So…Michael Richards’ career walks into a bar…
20 I don’t know; the world has certainly gone crazy.
21 I have a theory about today.22 Here is my theory: I think what people are going to spend today doing is they are going to hide out and get as little work done as possible, so that tomorrow they can officially take off early.
23 Some theory.24 So I guess getting a late-night DN out isn’t so bad.
25 Well, thank goodness for Socrates.
26 I think I’ll leave now.
27 Don’t work to hard. In fact, don’t work at all.
28 It’s turkey time. Yeah it’s a day early, but you might as well do what everyone else does, which is go do whatever you do today and really, just watch that clock.
29 Gobble, gobble. Spend the day hiding. Somehow, hide. Then go home.
30 Peace.~H~
