tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149396922011-04-22T00:01:30.042-04:00Seriously, I couldn't think of another title. <br/> <br/> It came from a very funny exchange on the blog for the book "Freakonomics." <br/> <br/> Direct quote: "... But there is a monkey ranch with the car seats as well" <br/> Reply: "...

The monkey ranch sounds like more fun!Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326833734247567834noreply@blogger.comBlogger191100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14939692.post-1167861113543396682007-01-03T16:48:00.000-05:002007-01-03T16:52:01.440-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1747/1368/1600/720972/624.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1747/1368/400/443104/624.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Only takes $1.</span></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14939692-116786111354339668?l=monkeyranch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326833734247567834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14939692.post-1163599995292215772006-11-15T09:12:00.000-05:002006-11-15T09:19:52.983-05:00Stylehive likes me!<br /><br />http://blog.stylehive.com/index.php/weblog/entry/hot-product-allumonde-ring/<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14939692-116359999529221577?l=monkeyranch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326833734247567834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14939692.post-1154728091593023282006-08-04T17:48:00.000-04:002006-08-04T17:52:51.166-04:00<object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/ABLmlMQ3jts"><embed src="http://youtube.com/v/ABLmlMQ3jts" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425"></object><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />One of my favorite scenes from Arrested Development!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14939692-115472809159302328?l=monkeyranch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326833734247567834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14939692.post-1154725453909109272006-08-04T17:02:00.000-04:002006-08-04T17:51:01.820-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" >The Current Terror Alert Level is:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.geekandproud.net/terror/"><img alt="Terror Alert Level" src="http://www.geekandproud.net/terror/terror.jpg" border="0" /> </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14939692-115472545390910927?l=monkeyranch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326833734247567834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14939692.post-1154094993683311792006-07-28T09:52:00.000-04:002006-07-28T09:56:33.730-04:00<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarfreak/199089955/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/75/199089955_d646918c99_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarfreak/199089955/">Hampdenfest06</a> <br /> Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/sugarfreak/">sugarfreak</a>. </span></div>YAY!
