Gnngghhhhhh... How do you do this?

I'll never manage those youtube tags, here's the url

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3erlxuXqGI&e

I have watched this three times now, it keeps making me laugh. It is also the first video I have ever seen on Youtube where the comments haven't made me angry and/or sad.

Nooooooo!

I didn't know it was broken - I wondered why I had no questions yesterday.

I have fixxored it now.

I wasn't working on WoM though (which I have been neglecting. Monkey is barely speaking to me... :'(

I have been working on brand new Mimi site. Oh yes...

This could've been really good if the person that did it wasn't so heavy-handed with the execution, but even as it stands, it's quite sobering...

Nope. It's a thread about things that warm your heart.

Post subject:  Re: Things that make you go aaaaaahhhhhhh

I thought it was a Kermit thread too.

My vid isn't very happy, but when he looks at the photo of himself with Jim Henson as he sings the line, 'Everyone I know goes away in the end', you'd need to be dead inside not to feel a little sad. Then the videomaker goes and ruins it by overdoing the Muppet-on-the-skids schtick...

Kermit masturbating over a picture of Miss Piggy showing her nipple made me feel dead inside.

I turned it off at that point.

Phew, glad I read this post before watching that. I'll be avoiding that then.

That first video was incredibly cute, although sadly I have nothing further to offer this thread.

Do you get lots of questions via World of Monkey, Mimi?

Author:  Mimi [ Mon Jun 30, 2008 22:51 ]
Post subject:  Re: Things that make you go aaaaaahhhhhhh

I get about 30-60 a day.

They mostly ask:

How many types of monkeys are there
How many types of animal there are in the world.
What do monkeys eat.

Then you get the odd question about vector bosons (which is one I received today) and random stuff like that.

Post subject:  Re: Things that make you go aaaaaahhhhhhh

Yeah, I have to filter them off into a smart folder, or my laptop goes 'ping' ping' ping'. Also, anything that contains the word 'eat' gets filtered off and doesn't arrive at all. I make no money from it, I like being poor. It's good for the soul. Plus, I am rubbish with money. craig once wrote a platscript. here it is in full.

Mimi: [to Money] I don't understand you.
Money: [I don't understand you, either.]

The site needs updating. I am embarrassed that it is so. I am going to get right to it as soon as I have finished the new one.

I also get quite a lot of people asking questions about their relationships. Also, young kids with homework questions (monkey usually answers those with a personal little email answer, because we are softies).

I also dare say quite a few people ask more than one question when they stop by.

Once Monkey got a message saying 'u are so gay'.

What I find most incredible about world of monkey is that when I did a google search for party rings, your site came up. At the time I didn't realise it was you! Small internet.

I just had a look and it is still up there. But it is your hosted version that is riding high. Tut :smug:

Funny thing is, four or five photos along is a picture of some felt party rings - they are made by one of my best friends. We rule the internet on the subject of party rings.

More on Cookie Monster from here.

Quote:
It's funny that it never seemed to be important at the time, but wasn't it weird that the Cookie Monster never managed to eat any cookies? He just smashed them into the back of his throatless mouth and shook crumbs everywhere. This tragic inability to ever succeed in the one purpose he was created for left him a wreck.


The two entries below it are rather interesting as well.

I only realised two days ago that your pimpthatsnack was indeed the pimpthatsnack I knew about and thought was amazing with the giant yorkie bar that lives in a fridge. I got quite excited.

EDIT: Monkey didn't mention the chimps that paint abstract art in that question about painting monkeys, presumably because chimps are apes and not monkeys. I wasn't sure whether to be happy he had made the distinction or sad he hadn't shown the paintings. Some of them are really quite good.

Author:  Mimi [ Tue Jul 01, 2008 11:28 ]
Post subject:  Re: Things that make you go aaaaaahhhhhhh

Monkey is quite happy with the association with all of his primate friends. In fact, Munkeh and Giant Munkeh are both chimps. The names are confusing, I know.

I have also seen abstract painting by elepehants. It's just scribbles. I'm going to Google this when you get back and look into it for a new piece for a site update :)

There was an article in the New Scientist ages ago about elephant music- apparantly they have a proper sense of rhythm and know when to start and stop if you give them all drums they can operate with their feet. That struck me as interesting. I should have drawn my elephant doing that instead of swearing at a mouse.

It always amazes me that random people have heard of the site. A couple of weeks ago we were having dinner with some friends and a mutual friend of my gf. Someone mentioned PTS in the conversation and she (the friend) starts shreiking 'You're the pimp that snack guy? no way!' and then wouldn't quieten down about it for the rest of the evening. I'd prefer fortune to tenuous fame, personally.

But you have tenuous fame in the form of inspiring people to make giant versions of sherbet dib-dabs. I can't think of any better kind.

Do people send you giant snacks often? Do your relatives complain at christmas if there isn't a pudding bigger than a turkey? Is it possible to make a giant aero without the bubbles being wrong? There are so many questions to ask! No wonder people get excited.

I have a queue of snacks to go up, but I'm lazy. I did write a simple interface so another guy could upload them for me. he did about 8 then got bored and gave up too. You just can't get the help these days.

Nobody has made an aero yet. The logistics of creating set chocolate with bubbles is beyond the common man.

Post subject:  Re: Things that make you go aaaaaahhhhhhh

I wish!

'We' did a tv thing recently, for a BBC kids thing called Gastronuts. My bro-in-law was filmed making two giant snacks which will apparently be aired at some point soon. If I find out when I'll let you all know. What with it being a kids show they can't, retardedly, mention the word 'pimp' or indeed the website, making the whole thing perhaps a bit pointless. The best we can hope for is that on seeing the show, kids will either recognise the theme and find the site, or type 'giant snacks' into google (top result, get in).

My bro-in-law was paid £150 for his efforts in making the snacks, and I got the, erm, glory of being tenuously famous, as usual.
