mōnks of HōM


...sounds a bit like a robin hood-esque group from the middle ages, but more interested in butts and beads and smeg and cheese of course.

anyways, i think that since we're throwing out ideas for icons/mascots, etc. i think we should seriously be thinking about a good epic theme song/battle cry, a honorable pledge, a poem or two, and a flag. we seriously need to get working on this stuff. ...or maybe i seriously need to get back to work...

...wasn't i supposed to be at a meeting about now or something...?

EXTRA! EXTRA! trash or content!

WILL there be anything of substance and/or quality posted on this blog? Or will it remain a sup-par comedy site? Experts speculate that the outlook is grim, as the only posters thus far on the blog have nothing of consequence to say. "Members who are possibly more articulate are encouraged to contribute", says local HoM member. More updates on this captivating story coming soon, LIVE!

EXTRA! EXTRA! imposter or tru-mōnk?




Who IS 4aSafeWorld!? Our blog community has been pondering this burning question for nigh on 13 minutes. Are we safe? Can he/she be trusted? More updates soon.

"[HōM] rearranging..."


some of you will notice i've been doing a lot of "HōM] rearranging..." hopefully for the better. we now have an awesome "TAG/LABEL cloud" which is why i want people to label their posts. we also have a winner in the Who's Your Monster contest by way of mathematical impossibility of the others winner so i'm going to work our new mascot into the design somewhere. we also have a new slash animation at the title bar that i am told reminds people of what the imagine the inside of my brain looks like. SO... what are you thoughts, please do share?

uh-oh

i think luke died.

i haven't heard from him in a while (like, almost a whole day), and he doesn't respond to emails, OR answer his phone. so something MUST be wrong, because that is just waaay too unusual.

of all the great ways i think luke died, i think the most probable is that he was walking across the street and bent over because he saw a plastic bag on the cement that he remembered he had put his keys in the night before. He left the bag on the curb, where he had been sitting and opening his mail the night before - which included a pair of new vampire fangs from dentaldistortions.com. He needed new fangs because the one on the left broke a few weeks ago when he had a few too many glasses of wine and bit down hard on a crosswalk button on the corner of the ave and 45th - on his way home from a ballerina party where he had met a wonderful woman named Shaquandaleelah (who is wonderful except her shelf butt - but luke has actually come to the conclusion that this might be a GOOD thing for a woman, because he can use it to hold his coffee mugs) and they had gone out to eat and he actually managed to eat MORE than her, finishing off her extra large bowl of pho. anyways, when he bent down to recover his keys from this plastic bag, so that he could go inside and check if his animetorrentporn had finished downloading, he was hit by a car and dragged all the way to dicks, where he finally died. ...they probably could have saved him because all he needed was a bite to eat, but he said "no thanks, I don't eat DEAD flesh..."

like barfentunnigwall opened up his head and then his brain barfed all over me.

this page looks like a messy room.
theres too much crap all over the place and i can't make sense of it... it's like getting a sneak peek into chris' adhd head. and its a little scary.
i know someone is going to say "well then change it, monk"
to which i will say "you told me that if i participate i wouldn't have to do anything."

hey, i like on david's blog how he has a list of 'recent comments' on the side. lets do that here.
(and yes, by 'let's' i really mean 'you')

Tickle Me Shimbers.

I saw that movie that Luke recommended, "The Last Winter," and I didn't love it. Interesting concept - it was a man vs. nature theme (which is rare in movies, i think) and was a heck of a lot better than the new Might Shalalayalaholla movie "Dangerous Breeze." There were some interesting/cool parts, but I was generally a little bored. ...And I didn't want to SEE the bad things in any sort of form - it was cooler when it was in my head. Can't anyone do any awesome Hitchcock movies anymore, where you play with the viewer's imagination?! the shit that I imagine is always more scary than what they show, and not knowing is more scary than knowing.

so, anyone got any GOOD suggestions for horror movies (to rent)? ...I can't find [rec] on netflix, dammit.

barfentugginwall running away with it!!!

I voted for him... you most likely voted for him... looks like we are going to have a clear winner for the [Hom] mascot/logo.   

so what do you think, are you happy about this... is it going to be hard for david to out do him?  let us know hahahaha

help! ...rss, igoogle, writing on these internets things.

hey, help me someone.

i'm using igoogle to track blogs and news sites and stuff, and it works great - whenever a new post comes up on a blog or on my email or on boingboing or something, i see it on my igoogle. ...but i can't view everyone's RESPONSES to the posts. is there a way? that'd be tite yo. da bomb diggitty.

Who's Your Monster???

alright guys... i've got some logo ideas i've been working on as place holder until david whips something better up. for now though who do you like and what should his name be? maybe it will help david out a little ={ grrrr

Reader Poll: Why is Gary such a Contrary Curmudgeon?

Post your theories in the comments.

ok guys... time for slogan ideas

.... the current "[HOM] is a place for...." is just not going to cut it. let'em fly. winner gets a pop sickle

What is the purpose of a blog?

I don't really see what the purpose of a blog is (for us) really, how is/could this be any more differenter than just really long emails? ...at least on email everything is there together in one cute little package, and i don't have to click on a bunch of other stuff. i see the point of david having a blog though, because he uses it to communicate with a lot of different people (like family), and because he's ass far away, so he can chronicle his adventures for us, and eventually illustrate them and publish them for millions and millions (yes, i am expecting part of the profit from that, as it was my genius idea). Or for people like some political guy or human rights activist in india or some famous person, like scooby doo or bambi... someone argue with me.

Let's see some ridiculously cute baby pics, yo!

Hey this is hella bomb, yo. Let's see some posty posty action! Long live HOM!

The GROUP BLOG experiment

hey guys... so here is the deal. david wants us ALL to blog and we all know that will never happen, thought this could work though. we are all authors of this "group blog" i set up and the idea is that it will basically become our own little forum or whatever you want to call it for our group of friends. so invite everyone and change things up if you have a great idea =) lets let it work it's self out organically.
