ADORABLE SOCK MONKEY NAMING CONTEST 2008!

Neglected you may be, but duty calls, my pearl-extruding readers.

I present you with Exhibit A:

SOCK MONKEY!

Items of note:

  • One nephew, resembling a 1920s speakeasy bouncer, sleeping
  • One sock monkey, resembling a 1920s speakeasy sock monkey, sleeping (with eyes open, like some sort of freaky wizard)

All in all, rather similar.

However, the sock monkey is lacking in one single regard — IT HAS NO NAME!

My sisterwhoeatspoofortwo has asked me to not use my own singular talents to come up with the perfect name for the sock monkey.

No… she asks YOU for YOUR help.

In this, her hour of darkest need, you can do no less.

You… can do no less.

[Genuflects out of room.]

Over the holidays, I found myself in a conversation with My Lovely Wife and her parents about our dreams.

I got a few odd looks when I announced that the single most common recurring theme in my dreams was overly-elaborate underground shopping malls.

Am I the only one?
