Just pretend that said Monkey Nuggets instead of Braingames. So, what happened? How can I quit so soon? I ran out of nuggets.

I had lots of items when I planned this week but when I started writing I kept thinking of more things I wanted to include until I was spending more time on the posts than I had allotted. So while this week was a bit short a lot of good future posts came out of it.

Have you seen the commercials where Abe Lincoln and a snarky groundhog harass some poor sleep deprived guy about getting hooked on sleeping pills? If you haven't or just want a recap I've cut the relevant pieces together.


I want to know what kind of dreams is Doug having. How do Abe, a groundhog and an antiquated deep sea diver relate to each other? Are they trying to unravel the link between Lincoln's assassination, Groundhog Day and the disappearance of Atlantis? Are they a team of unlikely super heroes? I need to know. I wonder if their pills come with a mini comic explaining everything.

As a little kid balloons fascinated me. I wanted to both hold on as tight as I could to keep it from getting away and to let it go so I could watch it soar through the sky. Either choice ended in tears. If I held on to it it was deflated on the floor by the next morning. If I let it go I didn't have a balloon anymore.

As an adult balloons still fascinate me. I want to know where they go. But more importantly if something goes up instead of down is it still considered littering? Even if I tie something to the end of the string? Even if that something is a half eaten hot dog? What kind of park has both a balloon and hot dog vendor but no trash cans?

While rummaging through my idea list for this week's material I thought this item might be a little too morbid, but after spending the weekend in the clutches of a foul malady I couldn't think of anything more fitting. So I give to you my list of possible tombstone epitaphs:

Husband, Father, Friend, Dead.

You didn't drop your keys in the casket did you?

I think I left the oven on.

Do not open until zombie apocalypse.

I stopped here because honestly I wasn't ever going to top that last one.

I often contemplate the purpose of this site. On past sites I always tried to create lengthy posts since they were usually a week apart if not more. Left in the wake of this type of thinking was a bunch of unused thoughts and ideas that I didn't feel would work as a long post. Why make people wait a week for only a paragraph?

After a while enough short post material started gathering that I considered starting a new site. I was going to call it Monkey Nuggets; two words that I felt deserved to be combined. It would be haven for all the odd ideas that I felt didn't belong on my normal site. As I started thinking about site design ideas my name choice started to confuse me. What exactly was a monkey nugget? Are they nuggets made out of monkey meat or something even more disgusting? After spending a week contemplating the answer I lost interest in the whole thing. Plus some hacker gnomes stole all my material for their Gneet Gnome Gnews site.

So here we are once again. I'm working on getting this place running again and the crappy ideas are building up. Since the archives are already filled with short posts I'm dedicating next week to the revival of Monkey Nuggets. A week filled with post so short and ideas so dumb you'll wonder why I even bothered at all. It's better than nothing, right?
