I've been a little pre-occupied lately... sorry about the lack of updates. Maybe you don't care, but I always do. I had projected targets I wanted to achieve, but I haven't quite made those yet. I also promised you updates on the adventures of Max: The Mad Maniacal Monkey of Mayhem but he too has been a little on the quiet-side lately. I think it's because his best mate doesn't have a name and he's been deep in thought, toiling day and night to find one for him but is only coming up with heavy-metal inspired entity-type names like Baalthazaar, Zacktron, Quidditor or Lars. It's at the stage where the light-hearted pseudonyms, like Fleabag or Banana-Butt, can only go so far. Max never likes to admit it, but I think he needs help. I need help. We both need a little! 

So what's goin' down people? Step up to the plate! This poor monkey needs a name!

Max's name suits him because he is unassumingly strong, strangely handsome, can be unpredictably vehement and beserk, can take charge of any situation and get what needs to be 'done', done. On the other hand, this yet to be named monkey is like the Ying to Max's Yang. The fat red cat in the Ren & Stimpy relationship. The sanity-keeping numbskull, Pinky to the genius megalomaniac that is The Brain. Like the characters in these (IMHO) classic cartoons, even though they are worlds apart in more than just personality, the thought of them being apart or not being a team is almost unthinkable. The pain! 

So, to best complete the picture I am trying to paint here of this wonderful primate, I will tell you he is pretty laid-back, suave, unobtrusive, always willing to lend a hand or an ear to talk to, loves to make people feel comfortable, he can get a bit worked up some times or really excited, enough to do some crazy things n' get all wiggidy-wak out there. He doesn't like trees anywhere near as much as he loves metallic objects such as light poles, cars, air-conditioned shopping centres, kids play sets, etc... He skateboards, listens to music all day, eats too many pizza-related products and likes to spend time meditating on spiritual matters. Coconuts and Mangoes are his fave fruits. This is about all I can think of for now but, if I've figured him out correctly, I'd say that there is a whole lot more to this guy then first meets the eye.

Now c'mon dear readers! I think I've given you sufficient insight into how this guy works... now make some suggestions! Give the funky t-shirt wearing fleabag a moniker to live with!

A rare moment. You would never tell, from their apparent tranquil demeanour and silence, what this pair were really capable of. (Max, lower left)

And for all you people new, and not-so-new, to the world of Strong Bad and Homestar Runner, check out this little snippet. Its fun for the whole family, your pets and your friend in the fridge! Can you find ALL the secrets of the Talker?

Don't be shy... I don't bite... hard...
