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.

So, some of you thought I was going nuts, what with all the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange and stuff.

At first, it was just a little fun we were having on another site talking about dancing monkeys, but then I kep getting more and more ideas.

So, I kept the dancing monkeys going.

On top of that, it made posting daily pretty easy. Just come up with a new dancing monkey. Presto! Done! Okay, it took more than a few minutes, but it was still easier than you might think, especially compared with the alternative of trying to figure out what to write about that day.

So, every day, a new site of dancing monkeys. And, if I was hurting for ideas, I could simply recycle with a minor change or two.

I know. You miss the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange already. Okay. How about a flashback?

Anyway, so that freed me up to finish up another site I’ve been working on. Right now, I’m just waiting on the web host to flip the switch. Then, I have a bit more work to do. Actually, I could do that work now, but I’m taking a little break.

So, there’s that.

Also, I’ve been working on another site. Like the Canville Gardens (which I’ve neglected too long), this new site will also cover gardening. But, it’s not a blog. It’s much more interactive than a blog. Think Twitter. Think Facebook. It’s kind of like that.

The site is not yet ready for public view, but is open by invitation-only. If you’re interested in gardening (or house plants, window gardening, any type of plant growing (legal, that is)) and would like to be an early pioneer on the site, just send me an eMail (askdcr@dcrblogs.com) or leave a comment saying you’re interested. Thanks!

It’s come to my attention that, while you’ve been enjoying seeing dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, you’ve been scratching your heads over last Wednesday’s appearance of prehistoric purple monkeys wearing skins that are orange.

You’ve wondered, How can that be? Did we send a camera into the past to take video of these prehistoric purple dancing monkeys? And, many of you have wondered, Can I borrow that time machine?

Well, sorry to say, but the time machine is not available for rent. Sorry. But, at any rate, to answer your question, no, we did not send a camera into the past to capture these prehistoric dancing monkeys on film.

What happened was that they were found in some of the polar regions where the ice wasn’t melting. Some intrepid explorers were studying the ice, when they came upon this pair of perfectly preserved prehistoric purple dancing monkeys, still wearing their skins that are orange.

Carefully, this pair was thawed out. Scientists wanted to study these early dancing monkeys, but were surprised when they became reanimated when they thawed out!

This was a chance for everyone to see the natural behavior of these prehistoric purple monkeys. And, the first chance they got, the very moment their little fingers and toes completely thawed out, they began to do what dancing monkeys do: dance!

They danced well into the night!

At any rate, it appeared all these monkeys wanted to do was dance, so the scientists grew frustrated as they expected these prehistoric monkeys to exhibit other behaviors, but all these monkeys wanted to do was perform.

So, they were shipped out to us, where we keep them with all the other dancing monkeys. We offered them a change of clothes, but they don’t seem interested and never stop dancing long enough to even change into something else.

Below is an image of the prehistoric purple dancing monkeys while they were still frozen in the ice.

You can see that they must have been frozen in the midst of their dance routine—a routine they immediately resumed upon thawing out.

Keep on dancing, unfrozen prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange. The dance never stops. Pauses, maybe, but never stops. Dance on!

Surprise! I bet you never expected to see space dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange today!

You did?

However did you know?

At any rate, the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange felt they had to take their act to the next level.

Only that level was really, really, really high up.

Anyway, perhaps with some help from the alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, the dancing monkeys managed to get themselves beamed or flown into outer space where they could do their thing.

Who doesn’t love a space monkey? Especially a space monkey that’s dancing? And wearing an orange shirt. I mean, c’mon! Does it get any better than this?

While you ponder that, enjoy yourself some space dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

The dancing monkeys wearing shirts of orange are immensely popular. Each and every day, as many as two or three people come here to check them out.

You can imagine the traffic surge that has created, so, if you experience any slow-loading times, it’s those half-handful of people clogging things up. So, just wait a minute and try again.

Anyway, I know you were wondering how I could top the prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange, but then I did top those with the vintage purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

And one or two of those fans squealed with delight.

Now, I know you’re wondering how I could possibly top any of those. Well, to do that, I had to go far out. Like really far out.

Or maybe not so far out, depending upon whether you think we’re regularly visited by space monkeys from another planet, but that’s another post. Possibly tomorrow’s. Or not. Because that would ruin the surprise if it were. Unless it’s not. You’ll just have to wait.

Anyway, so this time around, we have some alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

I know, you’re thinking it just can’t get any better than this. But, you should also know by now that it can and probably will.

Now, go enjoy yourself some alien dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange!

By the way, the dancing monkeys are available for hire for blog parties and such. Contact me (askdcr@dcrblogs.com) for current rates.

Due to the continuing popularity of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange, here today is yet another installment.

Since yesterday’s prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange proved to be so popular, I figured we’d continue the “looking to the past” theme.

Remember, we had those retro dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange? Those were popular too. The videos have gotten over 30 views! And, probably only half of them were me checking the count, so those are some popular dancing monkeys! They have like maybe a little more than a dozen fans.

That’s more people than read this blog!

And you wondered why I was doing so many dancing monkeys posts lately!

Anyway, for today’s installment, enjoy yourself some vintage purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

That’s right: vintage. You can see how the clip has gotten discolored with age. That’s what makes it vintage.

Awesome, right?

I know that you just can’t get enough of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

And, of course, you loved the purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

You also enjoyed the retro dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

So, how could we possibly top those?

How about if we combine them? Purple dancing monkeys + clothes that are orange + retro.

Heck, forget retro. We’ll go vintage. That’ll make it even more awesome.

And, you want even more awesomeness, right?

Silly question. Of course you do.

Purple dancing monkeys + clothes that are orange + vintage = Even More Awesome.

So, here you go. Enjoy yourself some prehistoric purple dancing monkeys wearing skins that are orange.

Ever have one of those layered dreams? You know (I’m guessing), the ones where you have a dream within the dream sort of thing?

Last night’s dream had a backstory that happened before the dream. Apparently, I did something bad, only I didn’t realize it was bad. You know how sometimes you might say your friend Ted had such-and-such happen to him or whatever, only that it was really your friend Mary and you were simply trying to protect her privacy? Or, maybe Ted was really you. In either case, Ted isn’t a real person, and was merely a pseudonym meant to protect someone.

Apparently, I had done a blog post about Ted. Not a bad thing, right? No one in the blogosphere knows who Ted is, and no one knows that Ted is really Mary or Sue or you.

Apparently, though, it was a bad thing. Why? I don’t know. No one found out who Ted really was.

Anyway, that was the backstory of the dream. Complicated, I know. And I’ve had to surmise that because, throughout the dream, I really wasn’t sure what I had done that was so wrong.

So, there I was having a blogging party at my house. It was a party for bloggers, not for people to blog. And, only those bloggers that lived in relatively nearby states attended. Anyway, Michelle calls me out on the Ted thing. In a panic, I said Ted was real and was at the party.

Naturally, that was a dumb thing to do because where could Ted be hiding in the house and how could it be that no one had met him yet even though I insisted that he had just been there.

So, things go from bad and worse and now I’m some kind of blogging pariah.

At which point my cousin shows up with her family and, as a distraction, I decide to do a magnet hunt for the kids. Instead of hiding Easter eggs, I’d hide a tiny magnet and they’d need to find it. Only I didn’t hide the magnet until they had given up looking in the front room, then I hid it there, next to an electrical outlet where there was a stud.

At some point, they all vanished and then my father is giving me a stern talking to because he can’t believe that I did whatever I did with the whole Ted thing.

Then, I’m in bed trying to sleep and I can’t get to sleep because I’m thinking about the whole mess. And, yes, this is still part of the dream where I’m dreaming I’m awake trying to fall asleep. Layered dreams. And, I’m worried I’m going to have to quit blogging. But, then I’ve got all these other sites and I don’t know what I’m going to have to do. I might have to change my name or go into hiding or something.

Things are that bad.

And I still don’t know what I’ve done. Nobody even found out that Mary was Ted or whatever, so no one’s privacy has been compromised or anything.

So, then the next day, we’re eating hot dogs at a hot dog place and that’s when I decide to do a series of posts on dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange to distract everyone from whatever it was that I did.

The worst thing is that, when I wake up–for real–I still feel guilty for whatever it is that I did, only I didn’t even do it because it was all a dream.

Though I still had to go back to the pre-dancing monkey posts to see if I had mentioned a Ted…

It’s Monday and I’m afraid the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange are getting a little out of hand.

Again.

You know, you just can’t control these dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange. They’re like wild animals or something.

After yesterday’s episode, where we saw dancing monkeys wearing skirts that are orange and the boy monkey being none too happy about it, the girl monkey agreed to do whatever the boy monkey suggested for today.

The boy monkey chose to bare shirts that are orange.

Yes, they means stripping off their shirts.

The very thought made the boy monkey happy with a big smile on his face. Even happier was he when the girl monkey agreed without any hesitation.

Poor boy monkey. He didn’t realize he’d been had.

I know that you just can’t get enough of the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange.

Yesterday, however, we had a change of pace as the dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are orange didn’t wear their orange shirts. Instead, they wore orange shorts, so we had dancing monkeys wearing shorts that are orange.

Before that, we had purple dancing monkeys wearing shirts that are pink for Valentine’s Day.

But, the brown monkeys like the orange. They say it reminds them of bananas.

Yes, I know bananas are yellow. Do you want to argue with a monkey? They start throwing things–filthy things–when they get upset.

So, we’ll just accept that orange reminds them of bananas.

So, sticking with the orange theme, this time the monkeys voted to wear skirts that are orange. Actually, there was one vote for and one against, but somehow the girl monkey’s vote counted for more. Sometimes, democracy isn’t perfect.

Anyway, enjoy yourself some dancing monkeys wearing skirts that are orange.
