Marshal decided to put out a challenge to those of us that can stand to lose a few, myself included. Here are the rules...
1) Goal is to lose 10% of your weight
2) Start Thursday April 1nd
3) End Thursday July 1nd
4) Must be willing to weigh in here at work at the beginning & end of the competition in front of a designated person
5) Buy in is $100 and anyone that does not meet their 10% goal loses their $100 to be divided equally among those that succeed & hit their 10% goal
No backing out now, Marshal... Its been blogged!

2010 Big Climb, Seattle
Marshal, T-Wrecks, Judge & Goblin participated in The Big Climb yesterday. They all made it up the 69 floors of Columbia Center. No regurgitation or passing out!
Seriously though, The Big Climb is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Washington/Alaska Chapter's largest fundraiser and I'm proud that they were part of it.

Monkeys for sustainability!!!
Rossinator, Music Man & T-Wrecks will be appearing in a magazine (of course, they don't know which one) with the Matriarch of our service area promoting the use of re-usable cups vs. paper ones.
We're so eco-friendly.

The REAL Personalysis
So, we all took this survey to see what kind of dog we would be. Of course, Rossinator is odd pup out. He has no green in his chart.
Vino, Marshal, Music Man & Me are all Labrador Retrievers.
The Caretaker
Your family is what makes you tick, and you never "flea" from an opportunity to hang out with the whole gang. A family picnic complete with hot dogs, deviled eggs and a refreshing swim in the lake is hard for you to stray from. Your sparky temperament and dogged intelligence mean you are not only a blast to hang out with, but great to work with as well. Your close pals appreciate your patience and forgiveness, knowing you'd rather let sleeping dogs lie than dwell on the mishaps of the past. Your dashing good looks may one day lead to a modelling career, if only you can tame the unfortunate clumsiness that sometimes causes you to go flailing from the catwalk.
Judge & T-Wrecks are Golden Retrievers.
The Charmer
Laid-back, sociable and well-groomed, you've got your own hip little pack of groupies who just love to be around you. You have a brain inside that adorable little head of yours, though you use it mostly to organize your hectic social calendar. You never poop out at parties, and since you're popular with ladies and men, as well as children and adults, you dish out your wit, charm and luck to whomever is close enough to bask in it. The top dog likes you and wants to be your best friend, despite the fact that he doesn't really know what the heck you do. No one does, in fact, but everyone loves you all the same. A true foodie, you’ve got your keen ears fine-tuned to make sure you don't miss out on the opening of a trendy new place to nosh. But your youthful days of being able to wolf down food 24-7 are wagging behind you, meaning you've got to watch what you eat so you don’t pull a Brando and outgrow your coats.
Rossinator is a Bulldog.
The Comedian
You may look like the troublemaker of the pack, but it turns out your tough guy mug is worse than its bite. You're really a softie, loyal to your friends and family and A-OK with meeting new pooches, but you prefer to do so with a high-five instead of a paw-shake. Proud of your great sense of humor, you've got a whole litter of jokes you draw from to keep the mood playful and the positive energy alive. A perfect afternoon for you involves a leisurely stroll with a pal, followed by a little downtime in an easy chair with a frosty can of brew and a remote control within easy fetching distance. You shed accusations of being lazy, knowing perfectly well that you're kenneling the energy you might need for... well... something.

Version 3.0?
This blog sprang out of a text box of "-isms"on my personal blog. We all say funny things that probably only make sense to us but who cares, right? I posted them anyway because they made me laugh.
Once the other monkeys found out they were featured, blogging about the funny stuff that happens with all of us became a running joke. We are certainly a bunch of characters so I decided to create a blog about all of us instead of just about me. I tried several other places but ended-up back here again.
I'll do my best to re-tell the stories as they are told to/by us but since I'm running this show, artistic licence may (and probably will) be applied. By the way, I typo all the time & forget to spell check but that might make things more interesting so we'll see how it goes. :)
To the right is a link to the current "-isms" page in case you want to read what sparked the mania. Be sure to stop back and enjoy the silliness to come. :)
