IMAO has been having some site trouble, and once again the IMAO guardian angel spacemonkey has been busy at work. I think things are about under control, but if you have more comment trouble go ahead and e-mail me… unless you’re a troll. I don’t care if trolls can comment. I hope they choke on their Cheetos and die.
Anyway, since spacemonkey doesn’t get enough credit for his behind the scenes work, I think we should use this post to all come and praise spacemonkey. As you are praising him, remember that that comment box is only functioning because of his hard work. And if it isn’t working, then this could be the end of spacemonkey.
I miss the little fella. Give him some Cheetos, Frank.
Way to go spacemonkey!
So is he going to get his own Spacemonkey branded Presidential Seal like the Obamessiah? Will he speak in front of a greek temple? Has Spacemonkey ever organized a community?
—chanting—-
Yes He Can!
Yes He Can!
Yes He Can!
Yes He Can!
Yes He Can!
Yes He Can!
Yes He Can!
We want spacemonkey!
We want spacemonkey!
We want spacemonkey!
We want spacemonkey!
We want spacemonkey!
I come to praise spacemonkey, not to bury him.
Please to accept these bananas, most honored Spacemonkey. May your Pampers never be filled.
In space, only spacemonkey can hear you scream.
Gimme back them nanners! I got Epic Fail from the Top Ten Palin post’s comments. (shakes head sadly)
Thank you! The site seems to be working fine now and 000000000011110111101110101110pppproblems at all. It used to be that 0000001011101101110000 ,but now there don’t seem to be an of those sorts of 0001111101010100111100110111 and it’s very easy to post and see your posts appear just as 1100010101101011001101110110. So, thank you Sp0011101000111101111001111011101. The site is working great!
Hooray for spacemonkey! I was worried for a while there that I might not be able to verbally abuse the trolls with everyone else, but things seems to be (mostly) working again. Thank you spacemonkey, how can we ever repay you?
P.S. It would have been really ironic if the comments for this post were broken.
I’m glad you made the comments work. Spacemonkey, you’re alright with me. But I still miss the Thursday Doodle
Palin/Spacemonkey ’12!!!
The only good monkey is a Spacemonkey!
Thank you, O mighty Spacemonkey!
Here’s kudos to you, our orbiting Australopithecus.
Damn you, Spacemonkey! Now these racist crackers can post comments again, exposing the libelous slurs against Palin that I….uh, I mean, unknown parties…have been spreading.
Yay, Spacemonkey!
Not much going on here at work today. Can you tell?
Spacemonkey saves IMAO!
Archie, give the hairy lad a bowl of cheesypoofs and a Lucky Strike.
NUKE THE SPACEMONKEY!!!
Although college, and thereby an actual a life, has drastically reduced my commenting, I’m glad Spacemonkey’s working so hard to let me read everyone else’s comments, despite the noticeable absence of contributions from myself.
Thanks, Spacemonkey!
Have you ever scrolled to the VERY BOTTOM of IMAO? There used to be a little pic of spacemonkey. Now when I check, he ain’t there! All this work he does, and he is denied even this tiny bit of recognition.
Shame on you! Again, I say “Shame!”
Hurray Spacemonkey! Only I wish you’d actually post now and again. I miss the Right Foot Mondays. That anyone would post anything so out there was just so oddball it made me crack up to look at your foot.
Then again, I’m one to talk…. I’ve posted like a total of seven times this year.
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go spacemonkey, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go spacemonkey, yeah
[With appy-polly-loggies to B.O.C.]
You are the man SM. Or would you prefer, you the monkey?
Frank: Whatever it is, Spacemonkey, Trolls – whatever – get your digital act together and keep posting and posting. If you don’t keep up, how can I continue to rip your stuff off and, with a few ingenious minor tweaks, pass it off as my brilliant own? You are being very selfish my man. If you don’t starting posting quicker, I am going to organize a community of fellow e-plagarists and e-picket your site until you give us free gov-r-ment cheese.

This is quite awkward, but my family and I may have just eaten spacemonkey for dinner. The cat left something under the porch, so we fired up the grill. Gosh, I’m sorry.
Off topic, but since we can’t post right now on the other thread:
I’m sure everybody here has already guessed, but – from Ace of Spades, regarding the trolls:
David Axelrod’s Other Public-Relations Business Makes Extensive Use of “Astroturfing” to Dishonestly Shape Public Opinion
– Ace
“Astroturfing” is the practice of creating a false impression of widespread public support through the creation of dummy websites and organizations which are merely parroting their corporate parent’s line (unbeknownst to the reader, who thinks he’s reading an “independent take”), and of course spreading memes on the internet through sockpuppet commenters.
As Treacher noted, that line Kos got from “a reader” (unnamed), that “Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor” sure did rocket through the interwebs quickly. Problem with the theory of it spreading rapidly by real, organic transmission? It’s f***ing laugh out loud stupid!
And of course there may be a couple of big bloggers representing themselves as the sort of people who, say, struggle to see the truth in front of their noses, who just might be benefiting from Axelrod’s astroturf campaigning.
TY much space monkey!!
I wrote a poem about Spacemonkey
Monkey from space
Here and there
All over the place
Is he Frank J?
What does Sarah say?
No I’m not talking about Sarah K.
Thank you.
I’d like to thank the academy…
SA-LUTE!
Spacemonkey I don’t know who you are or what your interesting name means but let me just say great job man!! The comments seem to be working and this ship seems to be in perfect shape!!
thxforfixingitspacemonkey
Gooood little spacemonkey.
yeah!!!
now can you fix the comment page so it doesn’t throw up two javascript errors everytime it loads?
sure, most non-developer typs don’t see those errors… but look at the status bar: “Done, but with errors on the page.”
tsk tsk.
Solution: Turn off devloper tools
