Well another year another MONStock. After MONStock 98 had to be abandoned due to the inability of MON members other then me to commit to a date we decided to try again with a bigger and greater MONStock 97.
Unfortunately Dex (Deon) decided to be anti-social not attend this most wonderous of MON occasions, instead whinging about inter-galactic hyper monkeys or some such similar lame ass excuse.
Never the less Devslashtux, Snakyemcgee and myself, Colonel, gathered at a secret MON location for a fervent out pouring of MONificence.
Of course, in true MON tradition we didn’t actually do anything. Well unless you include rustling 14 mooses and teaching them how to eat turkey as something. But I don’t, and you shouldn’t.
Eventually Devslashtux, again following the grand tradition of previous MONStock conferences actually did something. By something I mean a downright awful flash animation that will soon be appearing on the website soon. This is actually the first time any one from the MON team has animated anything and it once again proves that Deslashtux is the only member of the MON team with any talent. (And even his talent is suspect in light of the animation he produced)
But I digress. Well actually I don’t because there’s nothing really to digress to or from. Which reminds me of a story about a duck named Walter.
Walter was a fine duck who went around the land ducking all he saw. That was until the sorcerer Nosganda told him he was no longer allowed to duck. Walter didn’t understand if this meant he could no longer duck, ie crouch/bend down, or he could no longer be a duck.
When he asked the sorcerer to clarify his edict the sorcerer snapped his book shut on Walter’s nose and left to join a acrobatics troupe.
Walter went on to become the head cheerleader for a large US university (which one exactly I can’t remember) and in his later life would become famous as the politician who bought Alaska from the Russians for 7 pennies and an elk.
I’ve heard from time to time that the above story has inspired many people to achive great feats of heroism and drama. But I’ve never believed it when I heard it.
Instead I choose to live the life of a quiet candle maker, which is why I hosted MONStock 97. Well it isn’t really, but is anyone going to notice?
Probably…
