Happy Monkey!

[Ubi Dubium]

There is a new meme just started over at Pharyngula. One of PZ's many moronic hate mailers signed off with:

Until then, happy monkey! (or what ever non Christmas evolution people say)

Well, it's caught on. The Pharyngulites are wishing each other "Happy Monkey", posting Happy Monkey carols, and generally revelling in what was supposed to be an insult.

So, from this "non Christmas evolution person", in celebration of this season of celebrating the earth's axial tilt, I'd like to wish you all Happy Monkey!

[Dan (dat haole dude)]

everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey-J. Lennon..& a cheerful colobus to y'all!

I think it's worth posting that rant in full. (ok, Abridged... full version (and all the equally interesting* others at the link above)

I wish I could get a job teaching at a University, but I am not qualified. I am not a terrorist (BillAyers) and do not worship the environment(global warming nuts), do not seek monkeys as my creator (evolutionists) and do not brainwash other people (Marxists). I suppose I am disqualified from teaching. Maybe someday, America will wake up and fire every hippy liberal brainwashed professor and hire real teachers who teach the truth rather than a mock version of reality. How did that terrorist Bill Ayers not get executed for treason in the 1960s anyway? It is amazing that a man of his sickening stature could get a job teaching. Thank you ACLU! (Allied Communist Lickers Union). You have destroyed America. Maybe someday there will be an uprising and real Americans can take back this country from the slaves of deceit and aggressors who seek the destruction of their own well-being. I guess all that dope in the 1960s just hasn't worn completely off yet. Maybe one day America will wake up after the 60s generation is dead and gone and realize that we need to reclaim America again.

Until then, happy monkey! (or what ever non Christmas evolution people say)

P.S. MERRY CHRISTMAS

The most astonishing thing about that rant - full or abridged version - is that the author actually believes what he says. I try to respect the opinions of others, but this level of arrogant ignorance is really difficult to accept. It shows - at least in my opinion - the depth of the education problem in America. That someone could reach adulthood with such a twisted view of how the education system is supposed to work and how the government is supposed to work, and also fail to realize the irony of his own statements is just pitiful.

Happy Monkey, indeed!

I am overjoyed to see followers of FSM willing to acknowledge my people with such a holiday.

I finally came upon this thread while catching up today and I think it’s wonderful! I can now wish my Christian friends and family a Merry Christmas, my Jewish friends a Happy Hanukkah, and my atheist friends a Happy Monkey!

Ho! Ho! EXTERMINATE!!!

**ahem**

I have something like 200 hours of Dr Who on VCR tapes, including Episode 1.

Thank you ACLU! (Allied Communist Lickers Union). You have destroyed America.

Now would that be a union of "people who lick communists" or a group for "communists who lick"?

I think it's probably a union of lickers, with a communist-style leadership structure.

[Scott the Pirate]

Maybe they only lick "allied communists". "Loner"-type communists would seem to be safe.

Happy Monkey!!!.....going to make this my new facebook status.....

OK, who is up for the rousing holiday game of "Spank the Monkey"!!!

[Scott the Pirate]

This is sad, but my mother heard of this before i did. We had a GREAT x-mas conversation about it though. Nothing ruins the holidays like family, right?
