Actually I do like to parse out the events that lead to a banning. I make no claim to total understanding of what a person really means when they type out words on a message board (so often what we intend and how we say it can differ so much). As a strong proponent of transparent administration of government (and all else) means the opportunity to review and conclude on my own is a process I cherish. The inherent anonymity of the members of the board does tend to make the process less harmful to the subjects of the review. ---

Monkeyhorsecamel sounds like a variation of turducken. Not sure about the order, though. I guess the monkey should go in last, but do you stuff the camel into the horse, or the other way around? ---

> [@Martian Bigfoot](#): > > Monkeyhorsecamel sounds like a variation of turducken. Not sure about the order, though. I guess the monkey should go in last, but do you stuff the camel into the horse, or the other way around? Camel’s bigger for sure. So it goes on the outside. That way also makes for a much more impressive presentation on the platter than a mere horse would. I suppose I’d start from the inside and work out though. So the monkey shouldn’t be last. Let’s try this: First the burrito goes up the monkey’s cavity. Then shove the monkey into the horse. Then finally shove the horse into the camel. Yumm yumm Yuuummm! as Gomer Pyle might have said. Hmmmmm. we’ve got a size gap here. There oughta be a dog or sheep or something in between the ~20lb monkey and the ~1000lb horse. Otherwise the monkey’ll be rattling around in there and might fall out. Maybe a llama; it continues the camel theme. The great part is I bet that if we cooked one John Madden could eat the whole thing. Buuurppp! ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Hmmmmm. we’ve got a size gap here. There oughta be a dog or sheep or something in between the ~20lb monkey and the ~1000lb horse. I think we can work around this. Burrito means “small donkey”. So I think what we need here is an actual small donkey, to go between the horse and the monkey. Camelhorsedonkeymonkey. ---
