A few months ago, Monkey charged me to hire a team of experts and management consultants to sample the last eight months of the cage. Their report is still forthcoming but I was given the executive summary with their conclusions.

The next step in the Monkey Cage's evolution is this: we have to form a religious cult. I mean speaking in tongues, venality and moral degeneracy by the clergy, and maybe even a little grevious bodily harm for any who don't like the new dynamic. You hear that jrv?

Like I said, I don't have the full report but if anyone has some feedback on questions of doctrine or other practices they should probably chip in now. To kick things off, if you give the wrong response you will be tied to a radiator for four days in utter darkness while an infinite loop of Ashlee Simpson singing at the Orange Bowl snaps your tenuous grip on reality. But, like I said, feel free to brainstorm.
