Back in Savannah, I had a friend with a plan. And that plan was Timeshare Monkeys.

He was convinced he could make money from this. To his defense, he never said this when he was sober and he never went through with it. Because it’s a terrible idea. But so much fun to think about.

Continuing the adoption theme of the last 2 posts and building off stars & owls, today we write about monkeys.

Imagine my shock when I found there was a site already established about this. Much to my pleasure, it’s a fake site that tells you every reason you should never try it.  So kudos to these guys.

Don’t get a monkey, folks.

Overall: Too silly to judge. This was fun, but it took a little while to get going. I kept thinking about the social responsibility angle. But I trust you know me enough by now to understand I do not convey renting a monkey.

Lessons:

  • I used memes again today. They helped with a few of the wonderfully awful puns you see. They’re terrible and I love them most of all.
  • It got a little snarky at times, but that’s OK
  • I thought this would be easier than it was. Not just the responsible angle, but overall…
  • Once I had a good base going of about 40 lines, things moved a little easier
  • I wound up on Reddit for the first time. That’s a bad place to be if you want to get something done.

Time: 1 session of just over an hour.

If you’re wondering why some of the last few have been 1 session (which is pretty draining), it’s because life gets in the way and I have to do some real work that pays me.
