Utter Wonder: The Idle Thoughts Of C. Monks

Another Retraction.

Posted 01/13/2009 07:38 AM by cmonks in Hopes, Dreams...Regrets.

I'm sorry for having to do this again, but I have to take back yesterday's blog post that featured a blurry photo I took of Conan O'Brien at The Children's Museum. It was a total invasion of Mr. O'Brien's privacy. Plus in hindsight I realize the juxtaposition between the post and the post about me not being intimate with a string of Christmas tree lights while not running a cockfight in my basement was a little awkward. In no way did I mean to suggest that Mr. O'Brien had anything to do with me not being intimate with a string of Christmas lights while not running Eastern Massachusetts' premier cockfighting exhibition. While I understand there's an internet rumor going around about Mr. O'Brien's passion for holiday lighting and animal fighting, I can assure you that he hasn't been in my basement. In the last month. So please accept my apology, Mr. O'Brien. I hope you enjoyed your visit to The Children's Museum. I know I did. The lighting in that place is awesome.

Comments.

Man alive! This is just a crazy rumour! During an interview on Larry King Live, O'Brien--JOKING--said he was a fan of "Holiday fighting and animal lighting" not "Animal fighting and holiday lighting." Not only did Larry King not get that this was a joke, but he got it backwards, too, and kept talking about it, even after the show. Consequently, some opportunistic kid who goes by the handle of Monkzrawkz39 started to post on the Larry King message board, implying that O'Brien attending his weekly cockfighting night he staged each week at his hillbilly compound during Monday Night Football.
Speaking as a Canadian, this story could hardly be more American.

My dog Sam wishes to categorically deny any involvement whatsoever with the emerging O'Brien scandal.

hey, so what's this blog about, anyway?

Enough already! In the past week you've:
1. Dangled off a ski lift bare assed naked
2. Did awful things to your Christmas tree and the poor innocent lights that decorated it.
3. Did even worse things to poor helpless fowl.
4. Lied to us twice

I have a feeling that The Gypsy may be coming to visit you real soon.

yes, he *has* done all those things, but by-God he did it for *us*! you remember that, missy.

He may have given some a (small) thrill with number 1. Maybe he had to do number 4. However, numbers 2 and 3 were done for his own pleasure and twisted enjoyment. You remember that, buster ;)

Hi Chris Monk: I found your blog while trying to find out if Traci Bingham was a man and found the cutest story re: her, by you. I never watched Baywatch, so I'm at a loss as to who she was/is. I really just wanted to know if she was a man before she was a woman. Welp- turns out you have a pretty kool blog, so I'll be back! :-) Amanda Penny

Welcome Amanda! Once you have had a taste of the C, you will never go back. Hmmm, perhaps I should have worded that a bit differently.

tasted C? Really? I heard he was Atkins-approved, but I'll not take the chance.
