Monty by Jim Meddick for March 09, 2025

The bar is set a lot higher when you are friends with your friendly ghost.

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs and makes a slinkity sound?

A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it’s Slinky.

So, back in 1967 hippies were considered freaks because they thought the Vietnam War was a terrible idea; that Ronald Reagan was an idiot; that pot should be legal; that men and women should be equal; that pollution was going to destroy the planet.

The hippies were right about everything.

[also, Manson wasn’t a hippie, he wanted a race war that would leave him on top]

Not scary – startled. Directors who put jump scares into movies take note.

I tried a “Marble Waterfall” once. That’s when you take all your marbles and slowly pour them down the stairs, over to the side, where there’s no carpet. Unfortunately, the marbles do spread all around the bottom and some get lost.

Mum was not amused.

Yes. I lost my marbles, when I was young.

He probably also thought the Etch-a-Sketch operating on its own would be scary.

Startled? It’s a start…

(⊙_ʖ⊙)

Ah, just in time for Spring.

I liked the spelled out sound the slinky made as it came down the stairs.

“Coil Descending a Staircase” by Marcel DuChamp.

More Fleshy please.

I want a fun ghost…

Jerry, smoke a bowl and come up with something better. :)

Jerry, make the Slinky jump out of your stomach
