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

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

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…

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

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!

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

Welcome to yet another day of the adventures of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

As you may recall from just the other day—Wednesday to be more precise—we had some dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

And they were having a good ol’ time, dancing all over the place, even though they were made out of snow.

The snow-covered dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange weren’t so lucky. They didn’t want to be robbed of the spotlight by snow monkeys, so they went out in the cold and snow to do their own little dance routine. But, it was so cold that they couldn’t even move.

Fortunately, today, it’s sunny and warmer out. Still, the snow-covered monkeys are staying inside by an artificial fire still trying to warm themselves up after yesterday’s little adventure. They are also considering suing Al Gore, but that’s another story.

Anyway, the dancing snow monkeys wanted to have another go at it. After all, warmer temperatures really helps loosen up stiff joints and stuff, so you can really move with a more fluidic motion. So, let’s let these thawed dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange have another go at it…

The saga of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange continues…

Yesterday, we had dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Oddly, even though they were snow critters, they were still able to dance.

Well, the regular dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange couldn’t stand for that!

They had to dance too!

Well, the problem is that some monkeys are from tropical areas and can’t handle the cold. Yes, there are snow monkeys, but the regular dancing monkeys are used to the tropics.

Or so they say. Who knows for sure? I could look it up in Wikipedia, but I don’t feel like it, so we’ll just take their word for it.

Unfortunately, the cold had some unfortunate results for the dancing monkeys.

Oops. Looks like they were too cold to do any dancing.

With all the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, it’s hard to believe that we missed some.

But, we have.

And an obvious one to boot.

That is, it is winter. So, how could we have forgotten snow monkeys?

And, now that the snow is melting away (here anyway), it’s going to be harder to keep the snow monkeys around.

Well, the other dancing monkeys got busy and got some snow monkeys together so that you can watch them dance.

How do snow monkeys dance? Yeah, hard to wrap your head around that one, isn’t it? Well, take a look for yourself as you enjoy some dancing snow monkeys wearing shirts that are orange

Apparently, y’all can’t get enough of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, and I’ve got other sites to work on, so I guess it will be a happy coincidence.

On that note, the future for the dancing monkeys appears bright, so they just have to wear shades.

Now, this is the point where I typically spread out a lot of link love to the other dancing monkey posts. For example, I might remind you of how much you loved the prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange or even of the space dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Or beg you to give some love to the alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange because they didn’t get a lot of attention, compared to the other dancing monkeys, so they feel a bit left out. Like outsiders. Like outsides from another world. Is that the kind of hospitality planet Earth wants to show off to visitors from distant solar systems? Well, if it is, it’s no wonder we don’t get a lot of space tourists, which is bad because our economy could really use the influx of gold-pressed Latinum and even regular old gold, which in some cosmic circles is considered worthless because there are planets of solid gold way, way out there. But, for us in this small corner of the Milky Way, that gold is worth something.

Anyway, that’s what I’d normally do. But, I don’t have time for that. I have other sites and blogs to work on. So, enjoy yourself some more dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and shades.
