Who's online?
 
Did I miss an announcement about the reasoning behind the "whose online" facility being disabled?

I used to find it quite interesting to see what guests were reading and to follow the trail to things I wouldn't have otherwise searched for.

Philip,

No worries. It's just down for a little while. Some tinkering is happening behind the scenes. Life will be good again in a week or two. In the meantime, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... but watch out for flying monkeys! ;)

Thanks,

Bill

And here I thought this was going to be an Abbott and Costello sendup: "Who's online? What's on the cell phone? I-don't-know-who's on Twitter."

A poem about flying monkeys, please.

Thanks,

Sorry, someone took this, so it has to come down!

36 minutes flat - a bit more than a minute a line, and a bit faster than I can type - what took you so long? :)

He had to drink a cup of coffee first, he was tired.

Extrapulous. You are truly Highly Magnified and Thoroughly Educated, just as was in Oz the Woggle-Bug.

Flying Monkeys

Of course you know that witches lie,
the monkey cannot really fly.
He seems to fly, but jumps and climbs.
All the same you might sometimes
mistake a monkey for a man as
he sits around and eats bananas,
or hops from bar to bar with friends;
but that’s where the resemblance ends.
For monkeys like to live in trees,
always groom themselves for fleas,
don’t get bigger than their britches,
and fear to fly or work for witches.
