My guess is that someone called Mac or Medi the wicked witch of the west. ;)

"Don't make me break out my flying monkeys"

Fly, my pretties!

So, what happens when you urge a chihuahua/flying monkey out of a window? I don't know whether to call PETA or grab an umbrella.

So, we're basically just guessing.

Nobody wants to come clean with the real answer.

Heh. A very kind and rather concerned and appalled member PMed me a link to a different writers board where someone was discussing the moderation here. "fascist Leznazi flying monkeys" come up, as one description.

It made me laugh and laugh and laugh - and since it's been a while since we were all gopher cultists, potty-mouthed angry women, or sparkly cows, I just couldn't resist.

in my defense, i meant that in the best possible way, though i'm somewhat confused as to why it was truncated from "feces-slinging fascist leznazi flying monkeys."

Hmm...you'd think that the recently banned would come up with something more descriptive and accurate, especially since I have a hard time picturing Silver King or Haggis or Williebee as "Leznazis."

The flying monkey part, on the other hand, I can see.

The feces-slinging part, I very fortunately do not smell.

In my heart, I will always be a sparkly office cow, and no one can take that from me.

shocking, considering the amount of asskissing in your post.

Bitter that your own wasn't included? Sorry, haskins--someone else will have to buff your rear to a shine today.

Back on topic, amazing what you can find out with Google and a descriptive term. Hmmm....

The mods are flying-monkeys?!

Strange, Mac don't look like one. I haven't seen Haggis yet though.

:D

Someone needs to photoshop a gopher, a sparkly cow, and a flying monkey into one monstrous creature. That person would not be me--I don't even have Photoshop and have horrible editing skills besides.

I'm confused. Haven't they always been flying monkeys (apart from SK, who swims, and Derek, who waddles)?
You've been on my list for a while, bub! But now you're near the top!*

* That's not meant to be a good thing!

I am a proud gopher cultist. You folks are doing to us, what Rob and DPat have been rumored to do to iguanas for years---cut it out! We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Seriously this is an awesome writer's community, I like it just the way it is, I love all you guys, except for Rob:D
