| If they were Monkeys, they'd be Ninja's too... Page of Honorary Ninja Monkeys |
| Honoree Number 1: Chuck Palahniuk Chuck is the awesomest of the awesome modern fiction writers. We love his books, and so we love him. If you haven't had the pleasure, experience it now. Honoree Number 2: Flat Eric Flat Eric is obviously the most excellent of all stuffed animals. Perpetually thrilled and easily poseable, he doesn't just brighten up the room, he brightens up the whole damned house. And man, can that guy dance. |

Honoree Number 3 (who should really be number 1): Bjork How we missed this is beyond anyone's ability to comprehend, for truly Bjork is the most ninja of all. She is so ninja that she's nearly more ninja than the entire crew of Ninja Monkeys combined. It's almost possible to make the assertion that never before in history has there been someone so talented as she (the only reason not to make the assertion being that none of us--except maybe The Aye Aye--has been around for all of history) but we can definitely say that there has never before been anyone so mysteriously elfin, so bitchin'ly cool, and so wildly talented all at the same time as Bjork. If you don't already have it, Homogenic is a must. |
| Honoree(s) Number 4: The Beastie Boys No, this is not turning into music-tribute-page-number-2099; it's just that when we think of Bjork, we invariably think of the Beastie Boys as well. No, they have nothing to do with each other, but they're just so frickin' awesome, and we love them so much, that thoughts of one conjure thoughts of the other. Licensed to Ill is one of the best albums in the history of album making--so good that we've listened it to death and will now have to buy a new one--and seriously: how ninja was it to enter the rap world as three skinny white dudes from New York and not get capped? Props, I believe, are in order... |
