I don't know... I'm not really into animals, so I'm not sure I'm all that into the monkey's welfare. What are the potential ramifications? Pulling it's stuffing out? Giving it to one of those children who breaks toys?
commenting not to save the monkey, but to tell you how glad I am that we have a new season of Survivor. Hopefully Dave(?-very annoying bossy man) goes this week.
Serial lurker, here. I think I've commented before, but probably not enough since I read you every day. I'll try to shape up. I love your blog that much.
I've always found stuffed monkeys creepy, but this one's kind of cute, I think it's the eyes, they're looking right at me, so I'll delurk to save it from IT, whatever that is. Happy de-lurking day!
*click* 1-2-3 De-lurking, De-lurking, De-lurking. Lurk mode now off... well not really 'cus I wasn't lurking per se just reading under the radar… Save the monkey save the world! *click* Lurk mode engaged.
In consideration of The Great Mofo Delurk today, I am sending this little comment your way. I enjoy reading your blog regularly and look forward to every new post.
i don't generally lurk on your blog, cos i find too much to comment about. cute monkey.... and to save a few strokes, love your survivor recaps....helps keep me up to speed :-)
I was worried about the monkey until I read the post from Oct 3, 2005. If the monkey gets "it", I'm sure Youngest can fix him right up. It won't be his first monkey operation.
I'm finally de-lurking. I have commented before, and you've been inspiring me to want to have my own blog for a long time. I finally started one the other day, so, thanks! I have been enjoying your posts for so long.
I'm always at the end of the comments cause I read your blog at breakfast, Sydney Australia time on the other side of the Pacific. It's better than the first cup of coffee. Save the monkey. Happy de-lurk day!
I see that razor sitting innocently on the side of the tub... Suppose that's why the monkey's eyes are glassy with fright? At any rate, hi, and I enjoy your blog much!

Because that monkey must be saved
Am I first?
Enjoy your day
what? it's october third already???
'Save the monkey, save the world!'
Oh, wait, that was last season...
Happy De-Lurking Day...
Poor monkey! Hope he's/she's saved from whatever may befall . . .
Delurking, delurking! I hope the monkey is saved.
What does the monkey get? And who is LB?
Delurking as usual, Queen Blackbird!
:)

From the look on the monkey's face, I don't think that there is anything better for it than putting it out of its terrorized misery.
I am enjoying the photo-text posts this week.
I'm here, I'm here!
(bathroom looks so clean you could operate in there--with the exception of the monkey)
I'm de-lurking super-quick.
Stuffed monkeys are my weak point.

I almost held out on you...just to see what torture you can come up with for the monkey.
But I didn't.
Who's LB?
i want to know what you used to write on the tile, and what you plan to get it off with. couldn't care less about the monkey. so there.
What fate awaits the monkey? A good washing?
don't hurt the monkey!!!
hello!
Hi! Read you every day --
Hi, Good blog :)

I don't want monkey injury on my conscience.
This is one blog that I might actually be a lurker on, I don't think I've ever commented. Sorry about that. Here I am.
Found you through Bossy. I click because I HEART blackbirds. and your photos of confectionary.
De-lurking DAY? My ego loves this.
I plan to come back for more. The monkey charmed the pants off me.

Serial lurker, here. I think I've commented before, but probably not enough since I read you every day. I'll try to shape up. I love your blog that much.
Indeed-happy de-lurking day to all.
I enjoy your blog oh so much!
Don't hurt the monkey!
Delurking to say thanks for all of the great posts. I've really liked the pictures/messages.
I'm a daily reader... Inspiring. Meant to comment on your shots of Positano - lovely. Have to go. BTW- The Hold Steady are amazing live. Really.
I can see the headquarters of PETA from my house. Don't make me walk over there and report you.
I'm loving this series you're doing, but miss your updates.
Holy Shit is your bathtub clean.
And? Your blog makes me laugh. You rule!
Who me? I'm not lurking. Save the monkey!
I'm here despite the fact that I do not like monkeys. Or clowns. In fact, if that had been a clown doll, I'd have stayed hidden.
Hello from St. Louis.
Based on his expression, I worry about what happened to that poor monkey before he found his way into the (your?) bathroom.
--Nora
DElurking allright.
Is it just me or is that monkey SCARY?
Yesterday's post is AMAZING.
Save the monkey!
Here everyday. I love your blog but Monkey torture aint cool! And wow, that is a REALLY clean tub.
what's the number of critical mass needed to rescue the monkey?
Hello from Seattle.
de-lurking, upon request. hello. i read - and enjoy - every day
As usual, I have nothing interesting to say.
I want to see what you were planning to do to the monkey.
I don't know -- that monkey looks pretty guilty.
hello from South Carolina anyway ;)
wowza! Look at all your readers!!
Delurking because I always like your photos, and no one writes so well about laundry.
Oficially delurking because I think I've only posted one comment in the past. My best to you!
I've never posted here before, but I look forward to your blog everyday. I hope all ends well for the monkey.
Life has been throwing you curves. I hope all these comments make you smile. Wishing you good things.
i vote the monkey should still get it. and by "it" i mean "a banana".
I'm here! I'm here!
I didn't realize that monkeys were indigenous to Tuvalu. Your bathroom is scary clean.
happy day! i check in often and love your site.
Please let no harm come to the monkey.
I've always found stuffed monkeys creepy, but this one's kind of cute, I think it's the eyes, they're looking right at me, so I'll delurk to save it from IT, whatever that is. Happy de-lurking day!
Well, I haven't been lurking here, but this is funny.
Delurking to say, "Hello from Portland!" I love to check in on your blog but I'm not too keen on the monkey... =)
Be well...
KDS
kill da munkey, I aint delurking

BB I am not a lurking but you should know that all the "DE" lurking has actually crashed haloscan today. Anarchy rules.
i don't generally lurk on your blog, cos i find too much to comment about. cute monkey....
and to save a few strokes, love your survivor recaps....helps keep me up to speed :-)
Too too too too too funny.
Delurker here. I am nothing if not obedient. Do we each get a reply as a reward for our delurking comment? or maybe a cookie?
Good idea, though -- lets you know roughly how many weirdos are lurking in the bushes :)
Not really a lurker, but signing on anyway. Got to keep the impressive comment count going.

Delurking from Las Vegas.
de-lurk...love your blog. I read it when I need an escape from my mind-numbing job. Your Italy pics have me green with envy...lurk
i read every day, and love it! sorry for lurking but it really helps pass my time at work :)
I don't want monkey guilt on my hands.
De-lurking from Richmond, VA
HAHAHAH you are the funniest human ever.
I fall more and more in love with your blog every day... Thank you for your kind comment.
Dat monkey's got sum crazy arse eyes.
I read your blog every day here in Athens, Georgia! I found my way here from Susie Sunshine's page!
please don't hurt the monkey
hi Blackbird thanks a bunch for the interview
Um, are you going to slit his throat with the razor?
I'm finally de-lurking. I have commented before, and you've been inspiring me to want to have my own blog for a long time. I finally started one the other day, so, thanks! I have been enjoying your posts for so long.
happy de-lurking day to you and greetings from sunny ca!
holy cats! you have so many lurkers!! I can't imagine. :)
I hope the monkey is grateful.
Okay, de-lurking from Baltimore! Thanks for writing! But since I hate monkeys, can you please harm it anyway?
I guess this means I've been "officially" reading for a year--shoot dang. The rainy NW is now represented...
I'm always at the end of the comments cause I read your blog at breakfast, Sydney Australia time on the other side of the Pacific. It's better than the first cup of coffee. Save the monkey. Happy de-lurk day!
How fun. Hello from Minnesota.
Very, very clean bathroom (except for that writing on the wall). Are you OCD like me?
BB-Been reading your blog for over a year. Now, please save the
monkey. Thanks!
Make the damn monkey share.
This is what happens October 3rd? I guess I haven't been around that long... But I've enjoyed every minute!!
I am a mysterious stranger from the other side of the world who is secretly in love with you!
Nah. Kidding. It's just me, Miz S.
But, I am very fond of you.
I'm 84th! I'm 84th!!!!!! And although I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a lurker, well, I'm delurkifying. 84th!
De-lurking to say the monkey's too cute to hurt. Long live the monkey!!
Yes, but can the monkey write shakespeare if it pounds at a typewriter long enough?
De-lurking in San Francisco. Your blog is my favorite daily read--I must check on the happenings in Tuvalu. What does the monkey get?
It's hard to de-lurk when I don't think I was actually lurking in the first place, but I haven't commented in a bit.
The past few posts have been lovely and left me speechless.
And I've been sick.
(but that's no excuse).
Happy delurking day.
am i really a lurker? dunno. if so, consider me de-lurked. i'm still going to stalk you, though.
me me! you know I love you, and the monkey!
Save the monkey!!
An every day reader and occasional commenter. I can't beleive it is de-lurking day again already!
Hi Blackbird!
I love your writing. I read from Brisbane, Australia, and i've been happily lurking for a very long time, although I don't mean to sound creepy.
Greetings! I have delurked before for you, but I'll do it again for a Twix! Still love your blog and your style...
Actually haven't been by in a while... but I cannot leave without dropping a comment now can I?
Wow you are near 100 responses. I wasn't going to comment as I'm not a lurker, but would love to see you hit 100. Is that lipstick or photoshop?
Clearly that monkey is well loved. As are you, bb.
ErinH
okay, okay, i'm de-lurking. love your blog. always brings a smile to my face. hope your son is doing well. loved your positano pictures.
I see that razor sitting innocently on the side of the tub... Suppose that's why the monkey's eyes are glassy with fright? At any rate, hi, and I enjoy your blog much!
Now aren't you glad you didn't give away those chairs? That creepy little might have made a mess in your nice clean tub!
Smile
i'm a day late, but what else is new?
i've commented before, but not frequently. i LOVE reading your blog.
:-)
Am I the Hundred-and-fourth?!? Woohoo.
Yeah okay, here I am.
Two days late, but I'm prone to procrastination... ;o)
Simply love the "written words" posts!
Cheers, and take care!
A Brit expat currently in Cairo delurking at last to increase your comment count.
A daily lurker from Townsville Australia. Love your work.
HAHAHAHHAHAAAA!

Brilliant.
I'm really late. And WOW that's a lot of de-lurkers.
Late to the de-lurker party. So sorry. Love your blog!
