Are you in touch with your inner Monkey?
Edited on Thu Jun-07-07 08:29 PM by Atman
This is long, but a great read. It's got an underlying political undercurrent, and lots of good laughs along the way, but it really does wind up being quite the sage advice. A very brief excerpt that doesn't really do the article justice (but it fits within fair use laws);

---

From "Inside The Monkeysphere" by David Wong

<snip>

First, TOTAL MORON. That is, accept the fact THAT YOU ARE ONE. We all are.

That really annoying person you know, the one who's always spouting bullshit, the person who always thinks they're right? Well, the odds are that for somebody else, you're that person.

So take the amount you think you know, reduce it by 99.999%, and then you'll have an idea of how much you actually know regarding things outside your Monkeysphere. Once you accept this you can no longer smirk over other people just because you think they're morons.

This way you won't, for instance, snidely dismiss all religious faith as ridiculous and in the next breath solemnly share your experiences with the conspiracy of reptilian overlords who secretly run society.

3. Oh yes!
I live in Fort Monkey. And we speak Monkey.

But this piece doesn't say anything at all about smirking over morans.
