Speaking of Monitor, did you know he has a Chicago street named after him? Did he have to bribe Blago for this, or is it in honor of his pivital role as a passenger in the airplane in Hitchcock's North by Northwest?

That second one's not just a motto, it's a policy!

Not that he's pretentious, but there's a bit of monitor in every computer display. He's also been commemorated as lizard.

Lizards aren't pretentious. They're prehensile.

Lizards aren't prehensile - parts of lizards are prehensile

So you're saying my post is reprehensible?

Anyway, we're talking Lounge Lizards here, not Reptilians. The later are being discussed in other active DL threads.

I'm not sure that helps your argument - I don't think some Lounge Lizards are prehensile in either sense of the term.

Two of those pictures were really good. The third was taken by yours truly and could have used some improvement.

I like the idea of getting perks simply by laying a few quid on Blago. I understand that is really the only way to get anything done in Chitown.
