I Am The Monkey Prize Winner
October 17th, 2007
I have no idea what this means, but I won the monkey prize on Woot!
After my failure mocking the president of Iran, I was about to give it all up.
Perhaps there will be a new comic this week after all…
Nicely done!
re: Iran. Is the stick figure riding the bomb wearing a beige windbreaker from Bass Pro Shop?
Hey, I got one of these for Christmas last year. Great fun, but tricky to get the body balanced correctly. Some tips:
1) Throw away the little weighted stickers that come with it. Buy some of that sticky-tack stuff you can use to hang up posters. Put a little blob under the nose. Takes only a tiny bit. You want just enough that when you turn a bit, it flies straight.
2) Carefully trim (follow the directions) before trying to do any real flying. You will crash repeatedly. Remain calm, follow the directions.
3) Start on hard floors, not carpet. Especially if you have hairy animals in the house. The hair will get in the tail rotor immediately (you can pull the tail rotor off and fix it easily but it’s annoying). After it’s trimmed and you’re not crashing it constantly, it doesn’t matter as much.
It was a blast in the office until I sheared off a prop on the white board.
Hey, looks a little like Dr. Strangelove there!
