MONStock 97

Well another year another MONStock. After MONStock 98 had to be abandoned due to the inability of MON members other then me to commit to a date we decided to try again with a bigger and greater MONStock 97.

Man stick insects are cool

Noticed this giant stick insect outside my window the other night and had to take a photo. It was the biggest one I’d ever seen!

Things that annoy me

The joy of discussions in the middle of the night

If you’ve found this site you may have wondered why some of the content on this site is so warped, bizarre and generally non-sensical. No we don’t use drugs. But we do write alot of our stuff at rather odd hours of the morning. In fact some of our best material was written between 1 [...]
