I need all of Monkey on video. I have the Water >Margin boxed set but can't get Monkey. Only episodes 1 >to 6 or something. The Monkey video release has only just begun, which is why you can only get episodes 1 to 6 at the moment. Another video will be released each month until all 39 episodes are available. Check out this page for release dates for all the Monkey videos: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/8153/videos_releasedates.html And there's lots more info about the Monkey video release here: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/8153/videos.html >It used to be great back then.

The good old days. Wow, seems like just yesterday :) I used to love all these shows, and remember them vividly. I think The Littlest Hobo was shown around this time too. They don't make TV shows like they used to :) Howell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------------- + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

But the Langdon can only drive when its parents let it have the Saab. The four roleplaying systems formed again, and yet again as endless sourcebooks appeared and revised. Time and pure essences of Fraggle, the moisture of the coca-cola, the powers of the fluorescent light, all worked on a certain skull that was as hard as a rock, and it became magically fertile. That brain was called Thought. The Father Morton said, "I'm not ordering the food, but with our thoughts we should order soon." Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it came a stone monkey. The nature of Hoju was... flannelette." - -- I don't totally understand it (who's Hoju, Langdon, Morton, and where does the flannelette come in?), but it's a good read :) Howell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------------- + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

I just got this bizarre email from a Monkey fan in Portsmouth, UK (he's the one who told me about the crowds of people in HMV Portsmouth watching Monkey on the TVs in the shop): - -- And hey thanks for forwarding my letter to the mailing list, I know it sounded a little far fetched but you had to see it to believe it, I dont know if weve got some kind of Monkey cult down here. (There was an article on southern news afew weeks back about a Buddist school where kids took some time each day for Buddhist prayer and guess what they were resiting "O mani padme hum" (probably spelt it wrong but they were definately saying the headache sutra!) - -- !

My site is called "The Day I Met Masaaki Sakai" and is at http://home.clara.net/n.brown > There's an interesting bit where it compares the plot of "Pigsy's in the > Well" (season 1, episode 10) to Hamlet: > "The parallels between events in the Kingdom of Crowcock and the > plot of Hamlet have often been remarked, for both involve a young > prince alienated from his mother, who has married her husband's usurper". > LOL that's the funniest thing I've heard for ages, I LIKE IT!!! :-) Nikki Brown - --------------------------------------------------------------- + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
