“I will withdraw the monkey in me,” she said while standing on the edge. “Crime rates *will* go down in this here Collagesity, 25 in a series of 1.” Who is she to be so small yet so wise?

I still have a definite presence in NWES City over on the Jeogeot continent, just diminished. We’ll see how that develops.

“Dear, can we go to the temple… now?”

“Not yet. I’m still trying on shoes.”

“Lordy, *pheh*.”

“Maybe it just means Monkey City, Jeffrey.”

“Means,” he replies.

in the shadows we are all monkeys

Nighttime, Collagesity, on a full moon. Okay, so it’s always a full moon every night. No total darkness here. But that allows the criminals more light to accomplish their dastardly deeds, while still providing deep shadow for hiding. Will the pattern of homicides and attempted homicides continue, not to mention the 18 burglaries, 6 larcenies, and 2 Petty thefts (the new police squad assures Mr. Petty he will be reimbursed)?

April Mae Flowers, wife of the former Herbert Glenn Gold, has confessed to the latest and last of the 3 homicides. “He said he was a doctor,” she tried to defend herself. “He was no more doctor than that chimpanzee hiding in the shadows up in the corner of this room.”  She points. There was no monkey clinging there in an upper corner, but Officer Raymond Boxboom didn’t tell her this, obviously gauging her as a fruity loop ready for not a paddy wagon this time but a padded room. Since this one hadn’t been painted yet, maybe they could just pad it over and leave her in the middle, outfitted with a straight jacket but still sitting in the same chair, with the desk and lamp removed. Okay, we’ll leave the desk and lamp there and the jacket off so she can keep writing the pathetic semi-autobiographical play that got her in deep doo doo in the first place. “Doctor it up, he said he could,” she said, starting to talk somewhat backwards already, like someone getting unglued from time. “He more no doctor than, say, that passing giraffe at the front of the station.” Officer Boxboom turned to surprisingly see the head of a giraffe bob by: Ricardo Petty, here to pick up the money for his lost microwave and Sony boombox. Maybe they can get a conviction on this one after all. He then checks deep into the last corner of the room, beyond the light and into the shadows. Indeed.

dark side

Amazing. He’d found it.

Kevin thinks the following: This structure where I grew up as a child reminds me of the cool compassion of my father compared to the fierce competition with my mother. On the one hand, I was asked about renewing my rent not once but several times before snatching a legally deeded property away from under my feet. On the other hand: destruction/removal of a piece of art representing *all* my art without warning. I could go with the kindness and empathy of the former. But my fiery rage identifies more with the latter. I will burn this structure *down to the ground*. It will not exist just like my childhood art doesn’t any longer. Monkey City *this* dear mother.

Sorry father.

Rocket Man

There are many things yet to be fathomed about WH X-ing. What is Pocket Rock and why was I compelled to bring it back home in that empty Starbucks coffee cup? What does the white resin mean?

I can theorize that it stands for Rocket (Pocket + Rock), even though it got that name because I carried it into Whitehead Crossing in my back pocket. And I carried it out in another “pocket” (Starbucks cup).

If president grant had had another one of those general lincolns in his back pocket.

Pocket Rock now sits on a filing cabinet next to a table downstairs in my study, beside another empty Starbucks coffee cup, coincidentally. The 2 different species seem to like hanging out with each other now.

Is Pocket Rock the same as the toy avatar Rock? It would be about the same height as the character.

Rock Meadows, toy avatar movie star

Rock, after all came in a *rocket ship* to Whitehead Crossing in the projected movie “Fade to Moss”, written, directed and produced by Mossman Gene Fade. He is truly a Rocket Man, then. His crashed ship still exists on the southern edge of the area.

Can the Rock toy be fit into a Starbucks coffee cup as well? That may be an ultimate test.

Carr.:

Your collection has been rearranged, you think.

bb:

Seems to have been, Carr. Could *rock* have done it? Is there psychic transference going on?

Carr.:

Careful what you write here. Remember when I said “do do” [that time]? I get jokes about it all [over the place] now. Do you want to bring Rock[ Meadows] here to Collagesity? That could be an answer. Spongeberg could bring him the next time he comes.

bb:

Spongeberg really does live in Whitehead Crossing, then.

Carr.:

Yes. In the teepee I provided him. Stupid humans. But they give me my hands, my feet I need. In a slightly different dimension the teepee is insulated from the weather. And now we have entered a slightly different dimension in Collagesity where actual weather appears. Coincidence?

bb:

I don’t know.

Carr.:

So you think the rock you brought home… well, I can’t say it here.

bb:

The rock is Rock Meadows, star toy avatar. I’m pretty sure about that.

Carr.:

You now know that the *true* artists of Whitehead Crossing do not need that Rock. Either one of ’em.

bb:

Yes.

Carr.:

I am an alien being. What you are dealing with now is alien art, in essence. Terrestrial aliens, but aliens still. I know a little about that. What am I to you, baker b.?

bb:

An alien from both Pluto and its moon Charon at once.

Carr.:

You have been getting a lot of hits for that post about Charon, Georgia in your Sunklands blog.

bb:

Yes. I’ll link the post to your comment.

Carr.:

You have been given the Bigfoot art happening as compensation. The whole landscape was developed by the artists of Whitehead Crossing. You should thank them sometime.

bb:

I will (!)

Carr.:

They understand you and your happenings better now. But they don’t want it in The Crossing still. My Crossing.

bb:

Everything can’t be yours, Carrcassonnee.

Carr.:

Can’t it?

—–

bb:

I came back, Carrcassonnee, to ask if New Monkey City near but not technically part of Whitehead Crossing could instead be the site of a toy happening?

Carr.:

Can it?

“Hucka D., I’ve found the Second Life monkey seen in ‘Lose It. ‘(pause) Hucka?”

Anyway, here it is.

Zooby Monkey Avatar

It appears at 1:37 in the video.

Actually, in looking at the coloring I believe the monkey in the video is not the avatar but the pet it is based upon, called Mango here (right). You can tell the difference via the whiter arms.

So it’s this Mango we’re looking at here. It can’t be an avatar. That is, it can’t be an actual person or user inside that monkey. Instead it is a pet, an unoccupied object, sans soul. This can’t be the person or user she “never knew” she sings about in the song at the time the Second Life images first appear (freebie waterfall). But it could be his/her pet, an identifying object.
