Dancing Bunnies Wearing Shirts that are Orange

Monday, March 15th, 2010

I know. Life without the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange is rough.

It’s just not the same without them.

But, as they have found their way to bigger and better things fighting crime as the super dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, we all have to find ways to adjust to life without them.

Well, with Easter just around the corner, we can look forward to bunnies.

In fact, we found some very, very special bunnies. I think you’ll enjoy them and they may help fill the void left by the absence of the dancing monkeys.

Enjoy yourself some dancing bunnies wearing shirts that are orange.

Snow Planet

Snow Planet

The snow planet… that’s snow place to live!

It’s a tiny little planet with just room for a few trees and a little shed. No idea what’s on the other side of the planet. Just more trees, probably.

Located in the Yardoutback Solar System, the snow planet is a nice little place to visit, but there’s no room to live there!

Unless, of course, you dig into the planet’s center–maybe it’s hollow!–and move the dangling roots out of your way and you could have a comfortable 500 square foot subterranean house. Then, build a stairway leading up into the shed and you’re all set. No one will know you’re living there, so your privacy will be assured.

Also, there are no taxes on the Snow Planet, so the living is good.

The dancing monkeys really were super, weren’t they?

What will our lives be like now that they will be gone?

It’s hard to believe it’s been a full month since they first came into our lives. Before we bid them farewell, let’s take a look back at the past month.

It all began with the original dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. And they were, you know, legendary.

Then came the purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and they were awesome. Those were followed by purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are pink for Valentine’s Day, which were legendarily awesome.

After that, you just could not imagine things could get any better, but then your mind was blown by the retro dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

What could possibly top that? Well, next we had purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and suits that are blue.

That gave the non-purple dancing monkeys pause, so they had to take the day off.

And when they came back, we had drunken dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, which generated a complaint that resulted in censored drunken dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Then, they went for a change of clothes and you enjoyed watching dancing monkeys wearing shorts that are orange. That was followed up by dancing monkeys wearing skirts that are orange, which displeased the boy monkey.

The boy monkey was fooled again the next day when we had dancing monkeys baring shirts that are orange.

The next day the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange were paused. But, things picked back up the following day when we had prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange.

And then we uncovered some vintage purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

After that, we exposed some alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. Not to be outdone, our intrepid dancing monkeys became space dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

By then, you were wondering where the prehistoric purple dancing monkeys came from, so we revealed a shot of the frozen prehistoric dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange.

And then you were treated to a flashback of the original dancing monkeys as it was revealed how dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange make life easier.

At this point, the dancing monkeys were becoming full of themselves and saw such a bright future for themselves that they needed sunglasses. Thus, you were treated to dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and shades.

Then, in the midst of the winter weather, we had dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. Jealous of these snow monkeys stealing the limelight, even if just for a day, the regular dancing monkeys went out in the snow and became the snow-covered dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

But, they really didn’t have to worry because warmer temperatures resulted in thawed dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. The warmer temperatures also meant the regular dancing monkeys got a little sweaty, which resulted in dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and wet.

And then, at the beginning of this week, they happened upon something radioactive, turning them into radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. We watched as the radiation caused them to dance faster, even faster, really fast, really really fast, and, finally, blurringly fast.

And, then it seemed the end would soon be near. That their final days were upon us. After yesterday, it was almost certain they would be no longer with us today. So, when we went to check on them today, with great trepidation, fearing the worst…

STOP… HOLD THE PRESSES…

What’s that up in the sky? Is it a falling banana peel? Is it raining banana peels? Holy cow…

It appears that the radiation did not kill them after all. Whatever it was, it made them faster, stronger, able to leap… er… fly up into the air.

The dancing monkeys now have super powers!

As expected, the dancing monkeys will no longer be with us after today, but they will take on new secret identities and go on to fight crime and corruption as Super Monkeys! (Or maybe Speedy Monkeys or Superb Monkeys or whatever trademark is available. They’ll have to figure that one out…)

Anyway, the Super Monkeys will be out there, watching to make sure no one steals your bananas. In the meantime, whenever they have a free moment, whenever they have a short time without crime, you can rest assured they will continue to dance.

After all, no matter what, the dance must go on!

The end.

Radioactive Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange Dance Blurringly Fast

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Blah, blah, blah, dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Blah, blah, blah, radiation and radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, blah, blah, blah.

Unlike previous days’ dancing monkeys, yesterday’s radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange that dance really really fast didn’t draw in the traffic.

Maybe it’s time to just put them out of their misery. No traffic equals death sentence, ya think?

But, how would we ever catch them to give them a lethal injection?

Anyway, blah, blah, blah, look at them go now. They’re going even faster than ever before. It’s amazing. It’s stunning. It’s a way to stretch out one lame image the whole week whilst doing a minimum amount of work.

Anyway, blah, blah, blah, they may not be around for much longer. It’s still hard to believe that the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are still dancing, despite their encounter with the radiation. Blah, blah, blah.

And they keep getting faster and faster, blah, blah, blah.

They continue getting harder and harder to see. While they continue to last, enjoy another shot of them dancing their little monkey hearts out. Blah. As has been said, again and again, and again because I’m at the point where I’m just copying and pasting stuff, still, the dance must go on…

Radioactive Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange Dance Really Really Fast

As I previously mentioned, thanks to the radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, this blog has scored some of its best traffic yet.

And, thanks to the radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange that dance really fast, the traffic got even better. In fact, the radioactive dancing monkeys are approaching the “Twitter Phishing” traffic levels, which I believe were among the highest trafficked posts on this blog. Ever.

Which is kind of sad, really. The highest day of traffic on this blog was the Twitter phishing post. The second was the next day, which was people reading that same post. The third highest day of traffic was yesterday.

Mind you, I didn’t do a comprehensive look at traffic. I’m just going by memory here, as I don’t recall any other post reaching those Twitter traffic levels.

So, dancing monkeys are approaching Twitter popularity levels.

Too bad they may not be around for much longer. It’s still hard to believe that the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are still dancing, despite their encounter with the radiation.

As noted the other day, one side effect of the radiation, aside from glowing a green color, is that they appear to be moving faster and faster.

And they keep getting faster and faster.

Now, they are getting harder and harder to see. While they continue to last, enjoy another shot of them dancing their little monkey hearts out. As has been said, again and again, and again because I’m at the point where I’m just copying and pasting stuff, the dance must go on…

Thanks to the radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, this blog has scored some of its best traffic yet.

Which is kind of sad, really.

It’s still hard to believe that the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are still dancing.

Even harder to believe is that people seem to prefer the dancing monkeys to the regular drivel I post here.

Or, maybe that’s not so hard to believe.

Anyway, as noted the other day, one side effect of the radiation, aside from glowing a green color, is that they appear to be moving faster and faster.

And they keep getting faster.

Right now, they are dancing along so fast that it’s getting hard to see them.

I fear it won’t be long before we won’t be able to see them at all anymore.

Will they have vaporized themselves into the dance? Or, will they continue to dance on—forever? Even if we may never see them again, we’ll know in our hearts that they dance on…

While they last, enjoy another shot of them dancing their little monkey hearts out. As has been said, again and again, the dance must go on…

Radioactive Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange Dance Even Faster

It’s hard to believe that the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are still dancing.

This in spite of the dose of unknown radiation they received that turned them into the radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

As noted yesterday, one side effect of the radiation, aside from glowing a green color, is that they appear to be moving faster and faster.

The doctors and scientists are befuddled. They don’t know if the poor dancing monkeys will die due to the radiation first or speed away into nothingness first.

You see, the slower that molecules and stuff moves, the more solid the material. So, ice is really slow moving water molecules. Speed them up and you get water. Speed them up some more and it becomes water vapor, a gas.

So, will these monkeys turn into a gas and just evaporate away? Or will they at last succumb to the radiation first and simply pass away quietly, hopefully peaceably in their sleep?

We will have to wait and see.

Until then, enjoy another shot of them dancing their little hearts out. As has been said, the dance must go on…

The dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are still dancing.

As you know, yesterday they became known as the radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange because the curious monkeys got into some kind of radioactive materials somewhere.

We haven’t been able to identify the radiation source. They may have ingested it. We don’t know. All we do know is that it is probably fatal.

Still no idea how long they have left, but the radiation sickness, in addition to giving them an eery green glow, is apparently making them faster.

Just look at them dance now!

I don’t know what happened.

I left the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange on their own for a bit and they found something.

And, being curious monkeys, they got all into it.

Nobody seems to know what it is except that, whatever it was, it was highly radioactive.

I’m okay. I had a dose of sodium iodine so I should be fine. I’m not exhibiting any symptoms or problems.

The dancing monkeys, however, are being kept in quarantine, in a lead room. They have a single lead glass window so we can still see them and they can still see the outside world.

We don’t know how long they have. We don’t know what the half-life on this stuff is. They could be gone in a week.

Or less.

They seem to be taking it in stride, however. After all, the dance must go on.

So, take a look at what could be some of your… give me a minute… um… what could be one of your fi… um… okay… final… Look, this could be one of your last chances to see… um… the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, now that they are the radioactive dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Say a prayer for them and enjoy… uh… enjoy another dance.

Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange and Wet

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

As we mourn the loss of the thawed dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, life continues for the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Well, things are beginning to warm up, as we learned the hard way yesterday. So, what better way to cool down than with a wet t-shirt, especially a wet t-shirt that is orange.

The boy monkey got excited about this.

But, as usual, the boy monkey didn’t get what he expected. But, life goes on.

And so does the dance.

Dance on, monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. Dance on!

Dancing Monkeys Wearing Shirts that are Orange and Wet

Yep. The dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are sweatin’ it to the oldies. Probably.
