Utter Wonder: The Idle Thoughts Of C. Monks

It's Like Winning the "$25,000 Pyramid" But Not Having to Deal With Dick Clark.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket My Lady received a special award yesterday. I don't usually like to brag or boast about somebody other than myself, but in this instance I can't help it. My Lady is an Educator of the Year and I am very proud of her.

Of course, I can't help but think that my glorious toes have played a part in her success. Is it a coincidence that she should get this honor just after I've shared the power of my toes with the world? I think not. That's why I'm going to push hard for an XBOX 360. Not for me, of course; for my toes. They love Halo 3 and want to play it all day long.

And my toes deserve it. Well, not the big toes, really. No, they're jerks. But my other toes shouldn't be penalized because of them. And what's an XBOX 360 when we're $25,000 richer? That's what my toes want to know.

So here's hoping that My Lady Educator of the Year does the right thing by her students and finds it in her heart to finally buy my toes an XBOX 360 with that award money my toes helped her win. It's only fair.

Congrats to your lady. Guess she's pretty psyched she decided not to publicly publish her letters to Star Jones now! And good for you getting on stage and making it more about you. I only hope you wore open-toed shoes so your toes got some glory.

Congratulations to your wife. I always had a feeling that the woman you married must have either been in a coma or was a truly exceptional individual with the patience and ability necessary to both teach young people and deal with a funk-footed goon such as yourself. It's great that she's been recognized for her efforts.

If your toes were to have surgery, I'm thinking a lobotomy wouldn't be out of line. They are doing way to much thinking on their own. You know C, most men don't think with their toes.

That's excellent and sweet news.

Bottles of blue skies to you both.

I'd like to add my congratulations to your lady. The Milken is a very prestigious award and goes to exceptional people. Take good care of her. She deserves it.
Have the toes been successful in their XBOX campaign?
