My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are…
I see dead monsters…
and they’re** covered in beeeeees!!!**
I’m going to hurt myself.
Oh WOW! That was my favorite book of all time as a kid-my mother and I would read it every night!
Please. Please don’t turn the page. You see there is a monster at the end of this thread…
I was so afraid of this book as a child that I actually threw it in the garbage. My mother had to pick it out of the trash.
This thread better not go to a second page because you know the monster is on the next page…
Boy, I sure wouldn’t want to be the 51st poster - all alone on the second page. It’s actually sort of scary being the last one in line right now. What if it comes up from the bottom? I’ll feel better if someone else would post, and get between me and the thing. Please? Anyone?
::bravely situates herself between the monster and atypicalcar::
It’s okay there, little fellah.
Where are Calvin and Hobbes when we need them? THEY knew how to deal with monsters; suction cup dart guns and emptying out all the drawers.
Ugh, something under this thread is drooling…
Man, we’re not going to make it to the next page! Those things are going to come in here, just like they did before, man… they’re going to come in here and get us, man, long before…
This is my absolute favorite line from that book. It made me laugh for hours on end.
Grover rules.
Oh no, I really hope that the mods come and lock this thread before we get to the end of it, because I just know there’s a monster there.
Wait a minute…I’m a blood-sucking serpent demon from Greek mythology…this thread isn’t about me, is it? Have you all been talking about me all this time? Oh, I’m so embarassed.
Unless there’s another monster at the end of this thread…oh dear.
Aaaaaah! A lamia!

(Sorry. I was reading Attanasio.)
Ok, as a “child at heart” and having a 3 year old of my own, I HAD to add to this post.
But I also had to make sure I wasn’t the last post on the page or the first post on the next page.
I used to use that method at haunted houses too… Had to be in the middle, lol.
::walks in with a wheelbarrow full of bricks and starts mixing mortar::
Not to worry, this brick wall will stop other posters from adding to this thread and bringing us closer to the monster at the end.
Crunchy, your mortar leaves something to be desired.
:eek:

I’ve seen the new version of that book with Elmo. I am not amused. Grover faced the monster alone when I was a kid, and I’ll be danged if I’m gonna let Elmo cash in on Grover’s gig. I say we start a petition to have the original Monster book reinstated, and the inferior Elmo version can keep us warm while we read it (Through another Elmo on the fire).
Wait, that wasn’t mortar! Ewww… and it’s all over my hands now!
Bah. I’m not afraid of any old monster. hits submit button recklessly
Hey, wait a minute… this isn’t the cookie monster is it? cause if it is i want to get to the end of the thread right now!!! Ok, nobody else post and then we can get to the monster and steal all the cookies!!! I mean borrow, borrow the cookies…
Well at least it isnt me 
Right ?
