Utter Wonder: The Idle Thoughts Of C. Monks

Another Open Thread.

Posted 12/07/2004 07:37 AM by cmonks in > you got questions, i got answers.

I had busy day yesterday what with not taking steroids and such, so I have nothing to post for you today. Still, I wanted to allow readers the opportunity to leave comments and exchange thoughts and/or favorite stories about me. So have at it this open thread. Atrios does this sort of thing all the time, and he gets nearly as many comments as he does when he posts pictures of his cat. So let's give him and his kitties a run for his money. My goal is for 209 comments by midnight. Begin!

This post is dedicated to too much XBOX and doughnuts.

Comments.

That c-monks! One time he wrote me this incredible article denying that he had ever taken steroids-- it was freakin' good man. I really wish all of you could have read it.

I remember that! Man, that was awesome. Man, I'm awesome.

Only 207 more comments to go!

Thought I noticed some back acne and increased irritability. This aside, has your performance improved?

Posted by: Jake at 12/07/2004 10:04 AM

XBOX? Why would you dedicate to XBox? Please to explain.

Posted by: fayrene at 12/07/2004 10:35 AM

I don't think those are gay snowmen...one of them looks like a chick to me. Unless its a snowman in drag...

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

Would it have killed Wink to go ahead and wink for the picture? Sure, it may seem a little cheesy, but come on. The guy named the album "Winking at Life."

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 11:29 AM

Hiya Jake:
Shut up! Get your own back acne and stop trying to get famous off mine!

Hiya Fayrene:
Because I've devoted the last two weeks of my free time to it. I'm not proud of this.

Hiya Special K:
All snowmen play for both teams; it's in their blood. I only wish the Red Staters would finally come too grips with this.

Hiya Bob Neville:
Thanks for the spoiler alert. And you make a good point about Wink not winking. I think he was trying to be post-modern. He's like that.

201 to go!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 11:39 AM

Why don't you dedicate more entries to me? Me. Patti. Patti. Patti. Me. I haven't been taking E. Or steroids. Or vitamins.

Posted by: Patti at 12/07/2004 11:46 AM

This comment is dedicated to Patti Freeman.

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 11:53 AM

Who loves comments as much as I do?

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 12:12 PM

What's going on? No one is paying attention to me.

Posted by: Patti at 12/07/2004 12:32 PM

Anybody else at work? What do you do?

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 12:55 PM

After much soul-searching, I 've decided to take up your suggestion -- about the 'roids and back acne. Can you hook me up with your dealer?

Posted by: Jake at 12/07/2004 12:56 PM

Patti.

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 01:52 PM

Hiya Gene:
Me!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 01:53 PM

Hiya Patti:
Stay focused: this is all about me.

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 01:56 PM

Hiya Bob Neville:
Work? What's that? Sounds fun!

Hiya Jake:
My dealer's initial's are R.W. That's all the info you'll get out of me.

190 to go!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 01:59 PM

Oh, and Bob Neville, I am at work! Man alive! I bet there are a lot of things we all have in common. Have you ever seen c-monks on the internet? I love that guy, you should check him out: www.utterwonder.com

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 02:01 PM

So.... this silence is awkward, I feel so cold.

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 03:07 PM

I just wanted to say thanks for writing titles like "How to Have Hot Sex Using a falafel: For Kids" and completely making me forget how to answer the phone in that smooth, professional voice our callers crave. Jerk.

Posted by: Aundrea at 12/07/2004 03:13 PM

Hiya Gene:
The silence might have something to do with that head wound you have.

Hiya Aundrea:
Thanks!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 03:29 PM

If I had kids, I'd probably get 'em that falafel book.

I probably shouldn't have kids.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 03:36 PM

Speaking of attention, no one has worshipped me in hours. What is up with that? Begin worshipping, mortal fools...

Posted by: Special K at 12/07/2004 03:43 PM

You know, the comment count would probably grow a lot quicker if one of us were to express objection at one of our co-commenters. You know, the same way that hip-hop "beef" sells records.

It is for that reaon only that I say you, Gene, are full of crap.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 03:52 PM

That's right. I said it.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 03:57 PM

Has anyone noticed how hot Special K is? Especially in comparison to that Bob Neville character, his rhymes are lame and his style, well, let's just say he'll probably never make kids dressed like that.

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 04:04 PM

Please, son. I got rhymes for days.

But you right, kid. K be bangin'.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 04:12 PM

It hurts to be referred to as "son," I'm heartbroken. Can this feud be over Bob Neville? My head wound isn't healing right and the emotional stress of this mind-numbing battle has broken my spirits and my hope for a tomorrow free of head wounds and dirty rap battles. A day when a man isn't judged on the merit of his rhyme or disabling head wound style.

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 04:25 PM

Consider it over.

As Joe Cocker once sang, "the days are marked by the heaviness of the heart / it never mends / until the healing begins." I'm a lover not a fighter, Gene. But don't get the wrong idea -- I'm married and not looking.

Besides, my feeble grasp of the street vernacular makes me cringe. Kinda like watching bad actors play drunk on sitcoms.

I do hope you're seeking attention for that head wound. Medical attention, that is. Not the fleeting-fancy-of-fellow-commenters type of attention that seems to be sought so much around here.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 04:33 PM

I think you knew I was going to sike you. Well played, son.

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 04:40 PM

The name "c monks" always makes me think of "C Moon," that crappy Paul McCartney song. I always pretend that it's my favorite when I'm with my friend Greg, who thinks more highly of Paul's serious stuff.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 04:48 PM

Well, it's 5 p.m., and that concludes my working day. As I'm not comfortable allowing Utter Wonder into my home, that means I'm gone for the day. By my calculations, we're a mere 176 or so comments away from the goal.

Good luck, folks.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 05:02 PM

Wait, Wait! "Bobby lived with Patti/ But they never told her Daddy/ What their love was all about" - from the crappy Paul McCartney song, "C Moon." Bob Neville, Patti-- What is it all about? And why do you continue to keep Patti's father in the dark about your living arrangement? Is it because Bob Neville is married?

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 05:06 PM

I hesitate to address these questions without Patti's blessing -- something we'll never get from her precious "Daddy."

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 05:13 PM

Besides, Gene, as Paul went on to sing, "What's it all to you?"

I'm tired of this inquisition. I'm going home. For real this time.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 05:16 PM

Bob and Gene are proving they're UWHOF members.

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 05:42 PM

169 to go!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 05:57 PM

Posted by: fayrene at 12/07/2004 05:59 PM

Are we playing "Password" or what, Fay?

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 06:22 PM

Boo-yah!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 06:38 PM

Telephones!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 07:01 PM

Pledge Drive?

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 07:03 PM

Jello!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 07:06 PM

Pledge Drive!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 07:08 PM

Wait -- was the Password pledge drive? It's no big deal. Just need to know if I won or not.

I'm very competitive.

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 07:10 PM

You Lost!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 07:14 PM

Good Try!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 07:16 PM

I agree, definitely a good try.

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 07:29 PM

Better than anything I would have guessed.

Posted by: Bob Neville at 12/07/2004 07:40 PM

Damn it. There goes my fucking day. GOD! I HATE games!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 07:42 PM

Come on, C! Give 'er another try dammit! We all know you can do it, you've got the GLOW! You're C- - M-O-N-K-S for cryin' out loud, and what does that spell?!

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 08:01 PM

c'mon K.S.!

Posted by: Darby at 12/07/2004 08:05 PM

Hmm. Let's see. Telephones. Superpowers. Jello.

Is the Password "Wet Dream?"

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 09:03 PM

Fuckpuncher?

Posted by: hsw at 12/07/2004 09:23 PM

I'm not calling anyone a fuckpuncher by the way. I'm just throwing in my guess for the password. Unless someone wants me to call them a fuckpuncher.

Posted by: hsw at 12/07/2004 09:25 PM

New Zealand has made you quite the potty mouth.

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 09:34 PM

I've been back for two months now! I've always been a potty mouth.

Posted by: hsw at 12/07/2004 09:57 PM

When I get old I want to be like Don and Mary Jane from The Amzaing Race.

148 to go!

Posted by: c monks at 12/07/2004 09:57 PM

What's a "Wet Dream?"

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 10:46 PM

I get it!

Posted by: Gene at 12/07/2004 11:11 PM

144 to go...oh, screw it.

It was a gallant effort. Thanks to all who gave it a shot.

Posted by: c monks at 12/08/2004 07:11 AM

By the way, thanks to those who finally noticed that I'm hot and bangin'. Its about freakin' time...
