After we read it, we hurried back to Monkey Island and locked all the doors of Ninja Monkey Headquarters. Richards here now making Banana Pancakes to help us calm down.

The Ninja Monkeys rolled the dice and tossed a Pie at Dave.
They are also giving members a chance to get two entries in the next Pie Toss Dice Roll!


So it's Pie Toss Tuesday, the day we toss a Merit Badge at someone who was nice enough to play with us during the week. Tuesday to Monday. Yes, we have a peculiar time/space concept.
But hey! We're Ninja Monkeys, and for us, every day is Friday, and it's always Five o'clock on Monkey Island.

So hoist your mug of frothy Root Beer and join us in a toast to Dave Author IconMail Icon!

Maybe as an added bonus, visit his portfolio, and mess around send him a nice review!

Do you want a shot at getting pied?

Today is a great chance to get two entries!

And you'll Get An Additional Entry for reviewing Dave and posting that Invalid Review Open in New Window here for the Ninja Monkeys to find. Now go make mischief!!

Hmmm, the Ninjas actually did something useful — they must be up to something ...


Today is MAYHEM MONDAY,
a day where we search out and pester a member by messing up reviewing something in their portfolio.

We decided to bother feature a Newbie today, so we scoured the site and found N.R.Nora Author IconMail Icon
Who has some questions we found interesting!

"Need suggestions for namesOpen in new Window.

We asked Richard to answer for us, since we sometimes can't remember our own names ...

He made some suggestions, but maybe some of you could help Nora out, also?

Post your suggestions in the comments, and get a Pie Toss Entry, and 200 Banana Peels!

Octanium works better for a team name I think, more than just 'Cranium' - though picking the right name for things very much depends on genre, too!
I reviewed her recently with suggestions, does that count? Review of "Need suggestions for names" Open in New Window
Maybe Aireen or Ayreen?

Sigh ... they won't stop pestering me until I repost/share today's message.

Mast for Trinkey Thursday

Yesterday's Wacky Wednesday question was about whether Kangaroos could jump in all directions, so here's today's trinkey with the answer:



“Some people call it Thursday, I like to call it Friday Eve.” — Unknown

We don't know who said it either — But it sounds like something the Ninja Monkey Party Planner would say!

YOU ate them all, you emptied-headed Ninja Monster

We had dozens of them yesterday, and now they're all gone!
Even the crumbs, they licked the dish clean!

Looks like we're going to have to hire some security to guard Monkey Island —
LOL, who's going to protect the island from you guys?

Maybe we need some chiwowwas ChaChawamas (chihuahua, geeze use Google) of those tough little dogs that are guarding Andre's Banana Bar.

Wait! We've got it!

We're going to hire some kangaroos — yeah, that's the ticket, Kangaroos!
What could go wrong?

While we're on the subject of 'Roos, here today's Wacky Wednesday Challenge

Kangaroos are formidable opponents; their strong legs allow them to jump in any direction.
Never, ever get in the water with a Kangaroo

We compiled a list of Authors who interacted with us last week, threw it against the wall to see who stuck (Okay, we used a dice roll).

Thank you for keeping the guinea pigs safe.
It took me way too long to figure out why I might want to correct your a monkey's grandma... *FacePalm* I was wondering whether she was particularly scary, or had old-fashioned opinions, etc.... *Delight*
For Better Or Worse. They're Back ...


Monkey Mayhem Monday!

Well, here it is Monday, and here we are back!

On Mayhem Monday, we raid a member portfolio, and pilfer send that author a nice reviewish type thingy via a comment or email. The reviews are always short and sweet, just like us. (Mainly due to our very short attention spans. – Hey, is that a Guina Pig?

Today we visited Robert Waltz's port, and in particular his blog "Carrion LuggageOpen in new Window.. We like it because it always gives us a chuckle, and sometimes we even learn something. Richard says the description fits us well:
"Items to fit into your overhead compartment" He tells us there's lots of room in our overhead compartment, since they're pretty empty.

Anyway, enough about Richard's shortcomings!

Like we said, we always look forward to Robert's blog entries, like today's "That's CornyOpen in new Window.. It's all about one of our favorite snacks and the right way to eat it! Make sure you favorite/follow Robert Waltz Author IconMail Icon – click twice and turn that heart to yellow/orange/gold!

Yup, the little buggers have infected me in more ways than one!

Sorry that we've been so quiet this week!
(Though some of you may have found that refreshing!)

It seems there was an outbreak of Monk-engitis on Monkey Island. We all caught it, and we even think Castle ~ Fishing For Answers came down with it.

Doctor Shot
No Worries!! We all got shots and are on the road to recovery.

We'll be back next week, with anewed ways to pester, annoy bother harry irk

We had some localized flooding from heavy rains yesterday, nothing particularly damaging, and no loss of life. But this floated ashore in an empty Root Beer bottle (the Ninja Monkeys are getting sugared up for the weekend) The little buggers might be on to something — or UP TO SOMETHING!

A Ninja Monkey Public Service Announcement

It's Freaky Friday, and usually (as if anything we do resembles normalcy) we'd be featuring a monkey factoid that we have made up. However, today we want to share something Castle ~ Fishing For Answers taught us.

Did you know that when you post on the Newsfeed, you can set what levels can access your post? Did you know that members have the ability to set the levels of access they see on the Newsfeed?

That's a good thing, because if a member doesn't want to see Naughty Shanagins, they have the opportunity to block them from their Newsfeed

But here's the rub, if you post a Newsfeed item that's okay for everyone and you don't change the default setting, those members will never see your post

This is where you have to look:

Setting Access Levels
The Box under the red arrow is a drop-down menu that is currently set to 18+,
So any member who isn't set up to get posts at 18+ will not see your post.

What you need to do to ensure the widest pestering audience for your post is to set the proper level, by choosing it from the menu!

For a post like this one that contains No Naughtiness – you can choose E for everyone.

Like This:

Setting Access Levels

Always set the correct level, as per WdC Guidelines, if in doubt, set the post it higher!

Be seen by as many Members as you can be — We all want to be in on the fun.

PS Due to my recent promotion to 'pillar of the community' (that's "pillar", not "pillock"!), here's how to set your own default settings.

Go to Portfolio->Notebook, click the gear in the top left, and not only can you set a CRS level, you can restrict who can see it. For example, I have mine set at '18+' and 'Registered Users and higher only."
Nods head in unbridled 18+ naughtiness.
No, let's please not ask me to check people's newsfeed posts. If in doubt, the rule it to set it higher... not ask me about each post. I wish I had the time to review all the posts... but it's often hard enough just to read the posts I get tagged in where people are telling others to tag me for this or that. I'm just one person. Ya'll could easily overrun my ability to do anything productive... *Heart*


I heard that you are looking for luck.

Mast for Trinkey Thursday

On Wacky Wednesday, we asked how Monkeys made it from Africa to South America —

"Note: Wow! It's Wacky Wednesday #2 , THE SECOND ..."

We could (sic) resist the urge to make a Trinkey!

(But They Clearly Didn't)



Remember, participating by saying thank you or sharing our Trinkey gets you entered into Toss a Pie Tuesday's Merit Badge Drawing!
