He who is known as Crazy Monkey

Now here's a little story I'd like to tell
about a Crazy Monkey you know so well
It started way back in history
with Brian, Mr. X and me, Jedi C
He had a lil problem that was so severe,
so I'd go home and drink a lot of beer
been a throwing up my hands
kicking up plans,
Crazy monkey on my tail cause he thinks I'm a fan.

/*sung to the tune of Beastie Boys,Paul Revere*/

So leaving work today, Crazy Monkey accosted me in the parking lot as I was departing (see The Chronicles of Mr. X for the lowdown) Mr. X swung down from high on Mount Olympus, and with Zeus like strength of wit, batted away CM like the unwanted pest he is. However, with the technique that Mr. X used, there was some follow up creativity that needed to be devised.

(picking up after the MR. X account of events)
CM:So what movie are you going to see
JC: Uhhhh.... Troy
CM: Oh cool, let me know how it is, I hear its good.
JC: Okay CM, catch you tomorrow.

For the moment I am safe, but I realize that I am at a crossroad with my relationship with CM. If i tell him the truth, he will undoubtedly be hurt, become sad monkey. Possibly even morph from Angry Monkey, into Disgruntled Monkey, you know the kind that show up to work with an AK-47 and a pound of C4 strapped to his chest. I know someday that will happen, but i hope when the day comes, that i will be on DM's good side, and his homicidal rage will spare me.

I begin to sweat, knowing that a tough decision is coming. I call Mr. X, to inform him of the aftermath, and to devise strategy. The strategy is set, we made it late to the theater, as we had to go to Ontario Mills, So hopefully Crazy Monkey will not become the super villain Disgruntled Monkey when he learns of the outcome. Stay tuned, more news as it breaks.
