Monkeys Spanked!


















A brief Recap of this weeks events in Chug Monkey Land:


This Weeks Official Chug Monkey: George W Bush (an uncanny resemblance?)


Game Recap:

Scores were tied early, until the game started. Our one weakness! The Chug Monkeys, still clearly drunk on their own sense of power from last weeks win, were sadly on the wrong end of the scoreboard in both games.

Highlights:

- Betting on the opposition continues to make Sean a happy camper.
- We learnt a simple equation: No Dan equals no win
- Chug Monkeys redefining the term “human garbage”. Perhaps I’m being too harsh, but remember everyone; each Chug Monkey Victory adds another pub onto our end of season pub crawl. Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug.

Inside the Chug Monkeys:

After last week being interviewed himself, this week Dan thought it was his turn to interview his controversial teammate; Leanne. So this week, even while still at the peak of her steroid rage, Chug Monkey Moose took time out for ‘Inside the Chug Monkeys’.


Dan: Now I thought I’d start with some hard hitting questions. Is it true that you are not actually a monkey at all, but rather some more highly evolved form of one?

Chug Monkey Moose (Leanne): Who are you and what are you doing in my house?

Dan: Touché. But not to shy away from the big issues, is it true that you once lied to a team mate, who shall remain anonymous and said that even the male members of the team were required to get bikini waxes?

Chug Monkey Moose (Leanne): Has that rash healed yet?

Dan: Not even close. But now let’s talk nick names for yourself, I was thinking “Captain Liability”??

Chug Monkey Moose (Leanne): Why are you still here?

Dan: Mum’s got her book club tonight and there weren’t enough seats for me to join in. But speaking of the ladies, another accusation is that you tricked another anonymous team mate into joining the team by saying it would be a great way to meet chicks.

Chug Monkey Moose (Leanne): But then I remembered it was you I was talking to.

Dan: A valid point, but I do think Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mocking Bird” goes far deeper into such issues.

Chug Monkey Moose (Leanne): Uh Dan, you’re not at book club.

Dan: Sorry it is Friday night after all, so you can see how I’d get confused.

Chug Monkey Moose (Leanne): Unless your next question isn’t about when the Chug Monkey’s first official wet t-shirt contest is, I want you out of my house!

Dan: I loose interest, plus I’ve got 9 more chapters to read before our next book discussion at Mrs. Shepard’s, her tea and scones are just divine!

(Door slams in Dan’s face)


Thank you to Chug Monkey Moose for donating her time and left over scraps so Dan could have some Friday night dinner. Next week we can either interview Chug Monkey Trent or Chug Monkey Jace – So please email in your votes!!

Monkey See, Monkey Brew, Monkey Wins!



Monkey See, Monkey Brew, Monkey Wins

A brief Recap of this weeks Events in Chug Monkey Land:



Chug Monkeys Rule! First win ever!


Thanks to Leanne, Trent, Gemma, myself, Richard, and 1st gamer Sean for your efforts. Thanks also to Jace for his moral boosting support on the sidelines.

Game Recap:

Kathy showed her anticipation skills by sensing defeat 2 days in advance and calling in sick accordingly.

After a tough first up loss in their opening match of the night, the battle hardened Chug Monkey soldiers went on to win a tense contest 38-35. I forget the opposition’s name so we’ll just refer to them as ‘losers’ for now. Highlights included the chaotic and euphoric scenes after the final siren and Gemma coming 2nd in the sand castle building contest.


Injury List:
Dirk > foot injury – cricket related
Kathy> flu
Dan > Wrist injury – no comment


This Weeks Official Chug Monkey: Evil Monkey from Family Guy


Inside the Chug Monkeys:

With our team mainly consisting of strangers who have banded together to serve out their community service sentences, some of us thought it would a good idea to give everyone an insight into their fellow Chug Monkeys. This week Trent took time out from his busy training schedule to interview Chug Monkey Dan.


Trent: Now Dan, would you please give our readers an insight into the emotions you felt before your first match two weeks ago.

Chug Monkey Dan: I was quite nervous, the club was crowded, the men were so loud and just started throwing their money on stage, so when the music started pumping I just worked the pole as best I could.

Trent: Um ok…anything else?

Chug Monkey Dan: And the best part is I lost 5kg!

Trent: Moving on, and we’ve received several complaint letters from other team members about your halftime “pep talks”. What do you have to say about accusations that your on court comments such as “get your sh*t together!” and “losers walk home!” are damaging for team moral?

Chug Monkey Dan: I see them more as catch phrases.

Trent: I see. Now tell us some more about your life away from your indoor beach volley ball career.

Chug Monkey Dan: Well I’ve got a great job in the city, a new house and car, plus a loving wife and cat.

Trent: You really are quite lonely aren’t you!

Chug Monkey Dan: It’s that obvious huh?

Trent: Maybe you should come to some collectable stores with me sometime?

Chug Monkey Dan: I don’t think it’s quite come to that.

Trent: Well we could probably keep this quality banter up for hours, but finally I just wanted to ask you about what you thought the Chug Monkeys needed to take their game to the next level?

Chug Monkey Daniel: Good cheaters don't get caught.

Trent: Wise words indeed. Anything to say in closing?

Chug Monkey Dan: Do you think those people still reading would have realized that pole dancing line at the start was just a joke?

Trent: I doubt it!


Thank you to Chug Monkey Dan for donating his time for the interview instead of attending to urgent matters at work. Next week we go further than ever before into the Chug Monkey psyche as we interview Leanne, otherwise known as Chug Monkey Moose.
