I don’t know how much longer I should keep the poll going; Agent Monkey-for-a-Head has nearly a third of all the votes. You know, I have the IP addresses of everyone who voted for him; I could ban you all. But I won’t. I guess I’ll have to start rewriting my About Me page to explain why I have a monkey head.
Lessons Learned
I guess holding a digital camera at arm’s length isn’t the best way to take a photograph (who knew?). Maybe later I can have some more professional photos taken – maybe by my know-it-all sister – and do another vote later.
I also learned that if you give people a monkey to vote for, they’re going to vote for the monkey. You see, that’s why I hate monkeys
Anyway, polling was fun and I think I’ll do some more polls in the future.
Blegging
Just to be clear, I’m joking about all the money stuff. I’m not quite ready to try and make my site a revenue source like Bill Quick. All I want is to recoup my server costs ($11 a month) and any extra money will go back into the site, maybe paying someone to give me a more professional design. I’ve always wanted a logo, too; my thoughts are of a dolphin leaping majestically out of the water, and then, at the peak of its jump, it’s struck by lightning.
I hate dolphins, too.
I am serious about the t-shirt idea. I think a “Nuke the Moon” t-shirt idea is pretty cool and will just have to settle on a design.
Anyway, thanks a bundle to those who have donated so far, but I want to say I’m thankful for all my readers, donors or not, and especially for those who didn’t vote for the monkey.
UPDATE: If you’re going to donate through Amazon, please don’t do it anonymously. I came up with a little little something I want to give to my donors as a thank you. For those who have already donated, I’ll be sending it out tonight.
Dont’t hate me because I voted for the monkey. Even if I used a dynamic IP and voted more than once or twice.
Yeah, I voted for the monkey, get over it. And I’d do it again, with an even bigger ‘tude about it the second time.
Hey, since carpin about the money thing, and you were nice enough to let us vote for you to have a monkey head, go check out cafepress.com. They can have you marketting all kinds of specialized IMAO/I heart Frank/Ihate Frank stuff in no time. Several other bloggers use it. We do at SR, home of the world famous ‘no tree-hugger’ thong.
Another traffic idea. Go get one. Put it on the monkey.
I got a million of em….
Uuum… Isn’t that a chimpanzee?
The head was taken from a baby chimp.
You monster! 😛
But if it helps at all, I voted for picture #9.
I wasn’t simply trying to be a smart-assed nitpicker. I just think it’s important to note that the chimp is a higher order primate than monkeys (and some hippies). For instance, chimps possess more advanced and responsible firearms handling skills than say a howler or spider monkey and perhaps if you’d given a gun to a chimp rather than a monkey you wouldn’t have been injured.
I do share your distrust for monkeys and monkey-like creatures in general, however. I especially have a problem with the monkey-ish lemur. Agents of Satan they are.
Get your stinking paws off me, you damned, dirty ape!
Isn’t the phrase “a little somethin’ somethin'”?
ken,
Yeah, I know a lot of people who have a problem with lemurs.
Scott,
I was just trying to emphasize that it is not a new car or a week in Hawaii.
“Nuke the moon” sounds like that Mr. Show bit where NASA wanted to “blow up the moon” and protestors said they should blow up stuff on Earth first. And then a chimp almost ruined the plan. So “nuke the moon” will always remind me of that Mr. Show skit.
Hey! I like monkeys.
Lemeurs are cute 🙂
But seriously, what’s IMAO stand for? I thought the “I” was an “L” first, and that made sense. But then I noticed it was an “I” and now I’m all confused 🙁
Vince, for the last time: it means Idiocy Mayhem And Origami.
Hey Frank, you have an out on this whole monkey-head vote thing.
All those who voted for #10 are in a State of Denial about what the purpose of the poll was. Since Denial is a very small State, they only have a small number of electoral clout.
The “popular vote totals” are irrelevant, as 2000 made clear. It’s the electoral votes that count, so the voters in the State of Murderous Clarity, who voted for the candidates proper — actual photos of FrankJ — have the upper hand.
So, who’s the leader, #7??
Since Rachel Lucas said she liked #7, I think that made it the leader.
Don’t listen to Rachel Frank! She got another guy drinking his own urine our of a cup!
Nooooooooo!
I want a Nuke the Moon shirt.
How about a picture of the moon with mushroom clouds (plural) and the saying “Nuke the Moon, a Plan For World Peace” With your URL on the front and on the back have a monkey or a ninja pushing a button and the phrase from that brilliant philosopher, Nelson Muntz, “Hey, gotta nuke something.”? Or maybe put the URL on the back.
I’d buy it. I might even wear it.
Stinki,
So I’m a “know-it-all,” now? Frank, I don’t know it all, I just know more than you. A LOT more than you, about many many things.
So, I guess I can see how you would think that, but you should know the truth.
Also, Please be sure that the background for your new photo is plain and not distracting.
With Love,
I voted for the monkey, then saw the poll results, felt bad, and voted again for an actual photo. I figured you would throw out the monkey and go with the lead real photo anywa…
Wait, why am I explaining my actions to someone I’ll never meet?
I BLOODY HATE MONKEYS. IF THE MONKEY WINS IM GOING TO ASSASSINATE IT. I HATE YOU MONKEY LOVERS. DIE MONKEYS DIE.
