Trick or Treat!?

Posted on 10/29/2004 by Roger

Folks, I’m sorry to say this, but I won’t be going out for Halloween this year. I fear I must now apologize to all the elderly people I have frightened. At first it seemed like a harmless prank, donning a … Continue reading →

Zombies: Brains

Posted on 10/28/2004 by Roger

Halloween is approaching and, while I should be shunning anything to do with the pagan holiday*, my mind instead turns to ruminate upon zombies. Zombies are dim-witted and sluggish, yet tenacious in their singular endeavor: to devour your brain. Why? … Continue reading →

Second Exam–Graded

Posted on 10/27/2004 by Roger

This morning I was handed my second exam back. The grade on the upper right was an 86. I said I was hopeful for a B, but this was great. The teacher said that the grades ranged from high 80s … Continue reading →

Hobbit on the Rocks

Posted on 10/26/2004 by Roger

The original lyrics: Toad the Wet Sprocket‘s “Hobbit on the Rocks“. Admittedly, that was the silliest song that Toad ever recorded. Since I like my song to have meaning, I decided to take their song and make my own lyrics. … Continue reading →

UMaine Ladies Embrace Change…

Posted on 10/25/2004 by Roger

…and each other. Ditto for the men. This week at UMaine is Coming Out Week. I wish I could file this under Monkey News and thereby let it be known that this is just a joke, however it is not. … Continue reading →

Second Exam

Posted on 10/22/2004 by Roger

The first exam I had this semester was in Animal Breeding. To anyone who thinks this may sound cool, let me burst your bubble: It is all statistics (meaning numbers and lots of formulas involving Greek letters). I earned an … Continue reading →

Cheese Food

Posted on 10/21/2004 by Roger

You feed rabbit food to rabbits, and dog food to dogs. You feed cat food to cats, therefore you would think you would feed cheese food to cheese. Someone dropped the ball on the whole naming process here.

Chipmunk Mentality

Posted on 10/20/2004 by Roger

Yes, I said it. Why is it that small, furry creatures wait until a car is coming before they try to cross the road? A squirrel, for instance, will sit by the side of the road happily chewing on an … Continue reading →

“Gone”

Posted on 10/19/2004 by Roger

My wife recently ended a job in a workplace she really needed to get out of for multiple reasons. It was a sad experience for her; she had invested a lot of work, time and emotion. This poem is for … Continue reading →

Until Shotgun Do You Part

Posted on 10/18/2004 by Roger

This man shot his wife after mistaking her for a monkey!!! It’s funny, but I think I can relate. It’s hard to count just how many times I’ve walked out into my back yard and had to ask myself “Is … Continue reading →

My Personal RMFO Hall of Fame

Posted on 10/15/2004 by Roger

(I had some fancy, maybe even touching things to say to introduce this post, but I lost them somehow not once, but TWICE as I typed them up on different days. Now I want to make it short and sweet.) … Continue reading →

Fall Break

Posted on 10/13/2004 by Roger

So, Roger, four days without a post…what have you been up to? Good question. My first response would be “nothing”. The University of Maine just had fall break on Monday and Tuesday and I would say I accomplished not a … Continue reading →

Twinkies

Posted on 10/8/2004 by Roger

Is this the end of an era? Maker of Twinkies goes bankrupt! Where will the world be if we can’t all enjoy Twinkie goodness any time we desire?

“Beside You”

Posted on 10/7/2004 by Roger

I wrote this last night for my wife. It was inspired by the card I bought her. Today is our Fourth Anniversary. That seems like a long time for a young married couple. This is the first and last draft. … Continue reading →

Break Time

Posted on 10/5/2004 by Roger

Seems it is time for me to lay off the humor attempts and turn my writing to something more…substantial. The lame humor attempts will return, though, since my goal is to entertain. Practice makes perfect, right? 😉

Dear God,

Posted on 10/4/2004 by Roger

How are you? That was probably a stupid question; you are perfect. Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi. There are so many things I could ask of you, not all of them even selfish. Instead, though, I just wanted … Continue reading →

Monkey Pizza

Posted on 10/4/2004 by Roger

Get Fuzzy is definitely the best new comic strip out there. Bucky, however, has seen fit to make himself the enemy of monkeys everywhere, and therefore the enemy of this site’s mascot, Qwert Yuppy himself. May the best mammal win.

Closure?

Posted on 10/4/2004 by Roger

After slight reconnaissance of the Union’s entrances and egresses, I believe I have found a way to circumnavigate the Hackeysack Conspiracy. As hoped for by all, this should be the last you hear of it. May this period in my … Continue reading →
