Earl Stussie was never one to back down from anyone. Especially, when talking to the likes of his attorney, Cadwallider Snipe, or his banker Ebenezer Pennypincher,
Earl Stussie is no stranger to the art of negotiation. Climbing up on the desk is a strong power position that his opponent will have difficulty matching. (Clive Smythe, Esq., briefly considered climbing up on his chair to regain the advantage, then quickly remembered his recent one-day surgery for double hip and double knee replacements at Ballard Orthopedics and Dry Cleaners, and opted to stay seated.)
Recent surgery and a wobbly chair on wheels cost Clive the deal of a lifetime!
Earl (3’9") is at the top of his game…a giant in the Ballard business world…today.
beviek, thanks. I almost suffered for my art. I laid on poison ivy for an hour to get that shot. Due to my lack of sensitivity to the stuff, I got about 6 tiny red dots.Carlyle620, Fum!
Monkey Business Indeed ! Who is out to try to ruin MonkeyBlues’ stellar…er… excellent… er… pretty good reputation ? This smells of political skulduggery. Don’t worry Monkey. I have hired ( at my own expense ) two renowned private investigators, I. Seecum and Will Catchum, to get to the bottom of this and find Little M’s real daddy.Rest assured that while you’re out of town, everything will be done to uncover the truth. No rock will go unturned , no file will go unread, no shady critters will go untailed, ( no puns intended ) and no lead will go unfollowed.
I was just thinking about this whole horrible situation re: FSMB, and what’s been nagging me about this is those two out-of-towners that caused some trouble here back on July 13 . I don’t know how they are involved, but I’ll bet my bottom dollar they have something to do with it! They didn’t seem too bright, so my guess is someone hired them. I can’t prove any of this, but I think it bears checking out.
Oh my goodness…Monkey, I am SO glad you saw Ms. Beviek’s post!
I have to admit, that I suspected everything you just said….
NOT the part about… well, you know, your inability to be a father…
at my age, obviously not something about which I need to inquire even should the situation otherwise demand it… and …OK never mind.
But I know you well, and …. all right, let’s just say … there are questions I’ve purposely never asked….
But it’s always been my firm belief that even though you very well MIGHT have a wife, or even wives… or girlfriends…. in Turdmunkestan or elsewhere…
(Ok, I mean, you ARE a musician …. AND a monkey …. )
you go back there (and everywhere!) all the time, and you are a …. Ma … well…. a Monkey of Principle.
I couldn’t believe anyone would accuse you of abandoning a baby!! The MonkeyBlues I think I know would never DO that…. in fact he’d be carrying him around on his shoulders and showing him off!I know how well you treat ME…. I can’t believe you would treat your own son less admirably.
There were other reasons I suspected a hoax…. One, this baby shows up just when you have announced you’ll be away for a few days…so you can’t fight back till everyone has seen him.A dirty blow!
He speaks almost full sentences IN ENGLISH!I’d think a baby abandoned in such a fashion would speak only Turdmunkistani, and not much of it.
Makes me wonder whether this isn’t an American born midget monkey child…. not a baby, but still too young to be aware of the havoc he’s wreaking for the shiny coins he’s being given.
I really wanted to say something earlier …. but I was half asleep and in shock.And I didn’t want to hurt my friend Beviek, cos I’m sure she meant well….but I’m convinced she’s been DUPED!Had you not seen the post, though, I would have pointed it out this afternoon.If you need a foot rub after all this, just stop by.

Mr Stussie just came from buying himself a controlling interest in the firm.

He’s obviously a classy guy — his pants aren’t square…. and they come all the way down to his shoetops!
Maybe he commutes. I mean, maybe he doesn’t actually live on Ballard Street.

His labour probably paid for that desk. Never think yourself better than your employees.

I bet when he was young the guy was a shoe shine boy. Mr. Stussie remembers very well the awful shine he was given. Shameful.
