Monkey's Paw

I know this picture is a little weird, but hey, that is what this site is now being called by the flying monkeys these days. But that is okay. I feel it is a compliment to be noticed by the subjects my posts. I know the offended one who loves to just mention my full name and the organization I belong to on his website is all to insight the other FMs to post their drivel on his forum and the ever FM free for all TOPIX forum. You know, I could do the same to him and post his full name, his business that he has used to promote his agenda, his forum of unfettered verbal abusive comments and even the supposed benign "friends" getting ready to flap some jacks in the name of community unity group. Is it a wonder that such groups would even associate with a person who anonymously accuses individuals as being sexual deviants or predators, thieves, extortionists, liars, etc. would be so offended by such "weird" postings as Romper Room? I am purposefully not mentioning his name, business and group associations, because it is well known to those inside and outside how he has and does behave. Those inside approve of his message. Outside, they don't. He feels the need to expose me, but those inside and outside my associations know better than he. This all just really proves my point that this person just hasn't got a grip on what he is doing to himself.
This all reminds me of The Monkees episode when Peter Tork obtains a monkey's paw thinking that it would be good luck. It turns out to be bad luck and until someone gains it from him, he is forever cursed. Is this the fate of this Flying Monkey? Forever cursed until he can rid himself of his monkey's paw. Alas, it is attached to his arm.

This reminded me of the old short story...

From Wikipedia:

"The Monkey's Paw" is a horror short story by author W. W. Jacobs. It was published in England in 1902.

The story is based on the famous "setup" in which three wishes are granted. In the story, the paw of a dead monkey is a talisman that grants its possessor three wishes, but the wishes come with an enormous price.

The moral of the story is contained in this description of the paw: "It had a spell put on it by an old fakir," said the sergeant-major, "a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow."


Well, lets's see... Flying monkeys wish for a casino, for wealth and for prominence.

An old faker sold them on the casino.

What price will they pay? Higher crime? Reduced economic development? Less say in their own governance?

No! Because the casino ain't coming! You can't interfere with fate, baby...

That is how it worked on The Monkees. When it was finally passed on to an unsuspecting villain, he wished for a million dollars, then the IRS showed up. Hillarious!

This is not a comedy here. He doesn't get it. If he is brave enough and stands by what he says and does, then he should put his name to ALL his rants and websites. Yes, that is a challenge. Is he up to it? Prove my suspicions wrong.

-- my apologies for deleting my last post, I know how you monkeys despise that but I had a typo that needed fixing. You can see the original post in it's entirety sans typo below --

Let us not forget the classic episode of the Brady Bunch where Peter falls victim to the curse of the Tiki God statue where bad luck plagues him until he returns the Tiki to its cave.

Monkey paws and cursed Tiki Gods.....that's what casinos are made of!

I could have said rats and snails and puppy dog tails...but why insult vermon, invertibrates and puppy parts when filthy a monkey paw say it all!

Oh dear! The curse has left Magilla Gorilla "lost for words" and wondering "WHY?" Not to worry. The self-professed psychic Black Magic Witch can give him a dose of VALium.

I am Sorry Carl!

I won't link to your sites anymore.

You can say whatever you like about people I won't say a word.

Oh, he can link to my site anytime. Just do it truthfully. He just needs to own up to his own words, especially if he wants to allow anonymous commentary and be a party to malicous comments on his sites. Put your name on your site. Make it clear who you are and what you say is from you. There is a difference between poking fun and some of the down right character assassinations that occur. Doing it anonymously is cowardly.
