Doctor Monkey Knows What You Did



Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be a doctor, seeing all those people come in hurt because of something they know they were doing wrong. It seems like it would be pretty easy to lose touch with the common drunken, drunken douchebag. Science has proven that a significant percentage of accidents occur within arm's reach of an alcoholic beverage. The rest occur within arm's reach of a firearm.

I think about what it's like to be a doctor, and then I think about what it's like to be the person who makes up the names for military operations. "'Operation: Freedom-gasm'! What? Okay, how about 'Operation: Enrage the Well-Armed, Fortified Insurgents?' What do you mean 'too literal'?"

So, he's stoned, has a gullet full of dessicant, and is availing himself of the services provided by a primate with a tail.

Cartoon characters are surprisingly robust; I am quite sure just one of those things would be enough to kill me.

Is that the same monkey as rode a pig? It would make no sense but I will pretend that because it makes me happy. Thankyou for the happy.

The trouble with military operation names is that they aren't cool enough. Stuff like "Operation Enduring Freedom" makes me gag. I was happy when I saw one called "Operation Iron Hammer". Now that's a name you can respect.

Dr. Monkey's nurse has punk hair styling. Is that also a punk birthmark on her face? I didn't know those COULD be punk.

Ya know, I never really thought about that. And I want to be a doctor.

I may be able to nominate someone for a Darwin Award, though! :)

You may want to know that the Pentagon is equipped with auto-launch missiles against any plane that does not have the Pentagon's RFID code. It launches automatically.

Has anyone played Fallout II? Do you remember the FOB? SOB to get, but you need it to beat the game. It operates in the same way as the Pentagon's gear. Any civilian plane approaching the Pentagon without an FOB would encounter very heavy missile coverage.

Ahh yes, Operation Enduring Freedom, not so much a code name as a brand-name.

Aw. I missed the monkeys.

"I got a fever! And the only prescription is more monkey (doctors)!"

The universe demands a "Doctor Monkey Knows What You Did" t-shirt. Don't make the universe angry. You wouldn't like it when it's angry.

the Pentagon will actually intoxicate you with LSD if you lick it. it's like a giant slimy neon Amazonian frog saying watch out, i am made of poison.

The thought of such a powerfully positioned Monkey both frightens and enthralls me...

then again, it's monkeys what we're talking about. Oh, and they're watching you, Rowland. Now that you spilled the beans about Freedom-GASM, nothing will ever be the same... oh, brother.

Holy crap. Rowland, I am channeling you. Note the Monday, 6:16 date (which could easily be fabricated BUT ITS NOT.)

I saw Jason Collett live the other night and he astutely pointed out that the joint US/British/Canadian mission in southern Afghanistan is called Operation Mountain Thrust. Seriously.
