    I’m trying to figure out what’s stranger: that City Desk has a “monkeyrotica” tag, or that the presence of this tag implies that Monkey’s secret identity is either Erik Wemple, Andrew Beaujon, or Jule Banville.

  2. upset the setup Says:

    I propose a bail out plan that involves selling upset the setup shirts on u street for me.

  3. Amanda Hess Says:

    “tags,” in this crazy Internet world, are actually pretty easy to come by.

  4. Reid Says:

    Yeah, for reels. I got me one of those tags, and it wasn’t even for a particularly funny joke, even by my low standards.

  5. Stating the Obvious Says:

    Meta funny or just truthful funny? You decide!

  6. Will Says:

    Funny and sad. Come back to college, CP, where we write huge cover stories all the time.

  7. Ernest Says:

    “Who’s responsible for this content bankruptcy?”

    To be perfectly blunt, it’s your crappy content. Why not write with seductive immediacy, broaching topics of universal concern with contemporary succinctness? Maybe then people will like you as they do NYT, WaPo, Huffington Post or AdultFriendFinder and other successful outlets.

  8. Amanda Hess Says:

    Hey “Ernest,” thanks for commenting. Rejoice! It is your very own seductively immediate, succinctly contemporary, universally concerning anonymous blog commentary that shall live on in this brave new content world.

  9. Reid Says:

    And good luck on the SATs Ernest!

  10. Ernest Says:

    I wish you had any, Reid. I sense the pinnacle of your academic achievement was a D- in every subject they teach in elementary.

  11. J Says:

    Ernest - why bother commenting if you hate city paper so much? Go back to your smart reading and leave the city paper readers alone. Fucking loser

  12. Dave Says:

    Yeah Ernest, that is some grape Otter Pop-level purple prose. Tone it down, seriously.

  13. Peggy Says:

    Well, I like Ernest. I think he is absolutely wonderful. Nobody has to be like you two, you know.

  14. Dave Says:

    Oh just get a room already.

  15. Sam Says:

    Sounds like the two really went for it.

  16. Megan Says:

    Who did, Sam? J and Dave?

  17. Sam Says:

    No, the other two.

  18. Megan Says:

    But Ernest can’t have her. She belongs to a navy pilot.
