3. Good and evil are subjective.
I would use them to benefit me, which I would consider using them for good.

17. Exactly right. Who could be bothered with namby-pamby considerations
of good vs. evil, when there's an army of flying monkeys to play with? The question just makes no sense...

24. The FAMOUS review of the first (and only) novel by actor Tony Curtis...
"Kid Andrew Cody and Julie Sparrow," published in 1977...



...wish I could remember the source, but it was basically "This book stands as living proof that if you give a monkey enough bananas, it will type something."

:rofl:

My motives would be good, with a little evil thrown in... }(

9. And to make matters worse
that movie was on at the hospital the whole time I was in labor with Lelapin. I can't even listen to the songs from that movie any more. She loves it. I have to leave the room. x(

13. I'd use them on Karl Rove
I'd send him a note:


Dear Karl,

You have two weeks to come clean about everything illegal, immoral, and unethical you've ever done in your political career. No sandbagging, no half-truths, no omissions, no lying. Just as much truth as you can spew.

I would strongly suggest you start a website and begin posting emails, records, and memos. And you'd better be spending a lot of time on liberal talk radio and Keither and Rachel's shows.

If you don't, you'll be miserable.

Sincerely, Krispos42




Of course, he wouldn't. And then I would release the flying monkeys at him, pop some popcorn, and wait for the "Special Report" charon to pop up on the TV, followed by a breathless anchor and some exciting video footage.

:evilgrin:

Hmmm... flying monkey poo. Death from above!!!!

14. What is your definition of evil? Are Bush and Cheney fair game?
Not that that's a deal breaker.

Keeping them specifically to go out and attack PETA demonstrators who dress up in KKK robes.

25. I don't think that an army of flying monkeys is capable of good. You'd have to use them for evil.
