...us to carry on.He may be gone but his spirit lives on in all of us and he left us specific instructions.
Lets man up and be all he would want us to be.There are plenty of Wankus' Knox's,gypsie's and the like grazing like antelope on the serengetti.Come on lets separate one of those bastards from the pack and eat.Its just the right thing to do.

We can always bump up old threads if carrying on becomes too difficult. Like those "Ask Christina" threads. I liked those. The thing about monkey that nobody can replace is his uncanny ability to creep up the kind of one liners and cutting observation s that are normally part of a shtick, like james's racing thought botlenecking, as great as james is. Monkey was always remained laidback, a comforting presence, never labored. Everybody else around here huffs and puffs to varying effect, accept for loopnode, who is another sort of lifeforce though wildly different from the monkey. I hope the monkey comes back. I will miss the monkey if he don't come back.

CAOH: It's intriguing that you mention schtick. Do you consider your posting style to be a schtick, or act? Is it difficult for you or do you have a hot key?

Also, I'd like you to go back and read some old posts from the user named "Simp". I'd be interested in hearing your take on them and whether or not you find them to be "schtick" as well.

It's a shtick, but it's not an act. I hate to say that because it sounds pompous and enigmatic and other things which may excite by the smell of blood, but that simply isn't true. I have to keep it simple. I really don't have a choice. And it feels right.

It seems to work for you.

No worries Bishop, I'm going to stick around. Monkey will be back and so will Arab, and if not I'll hunt them down and make them post at gunpoint.

i think everyone here has a schtick, in one way or another.

Unfortunatly I have no schtick.This is exactly who I am.Yes I am ashamed sometimes,but not most of the time

you have a schtick, its just usually in your hands.
