Everyone's invited! There's plenty of room in the bus! Okay: 3.2 million on the left side, 3.2 million on the right! Anyone who wants to sit up top on the roof, feel free. Warning: You just might be blown away! Whiners and complainers have extra-special, designated seats in the luggage compartment!
Adrian Monk will be driving the bus, although anyone who volunteers is more than welcome to substitute or we'll never get out of the parking lot! Adrian'll rearrange the glove box and wipe down the dash before we roll! It's the cleanest Tour Bus in San Francisco! Natalie Teeger is Adrian's assistant and will distribute hand-wipes (which are free to you since Adrian is now paying her expenses)! Leland Stottlemeyer will be issuing your tickets and generally maintaining order on the Bus! Randy Disher will be hanging his head out the window, like an excited pup, hoping for his first car chase! Julie Teeger and Ambrose Monk will be joining us on occasion, so We at MMMTB Tours hope you will offer to share your seats with them! And Welcome aboard to Dr. Neven Bell! Be gentle with us (and Adrian!).
We will always remember Dr. Charles Kroger fondly and thankfully; God Bless you, Stanley Kamel! We all hope you rest in peace!
Andy Breckman and his wonderful colleagues have mapped out our route, filled with drama and comedy, a fun-to-solve mystery and thrills and chills! Don't miss Monk Magical Mystery Tour Bus!
If you post in this thread, you're on the list! WE WILL LEAVE NO MONK FAN BEHIND!

Whoo Hoo! The bus is back all shiny and new looking. I'll be happy to drive it out of the parking lot, but we're still waiting on a bunch of stragglers, aren't we?
Tami
Jul 12 2005, 02:46 AM
Well, I figure we get the MMMTBus started up and everyone'll come running by Friday evening. They already have their tickets stamped, so their seats are saved!

Wow! It's a New Bus!
It's all clean and ... well, new!
And look! My old seat -- only freshly upholstered and check out these cool reclining seats! Remote control pockets, even! Wow!
And built-in bun-warmers! (mdr, I meant for the cinnamon rolls).
This is a way cool bus! And I brought the truffles from the old bus... No, don't thank me...

On a lighter note, I was thinking that someone should advertise on those black-and-white clowns that perform in the park... that way, you can read their mimes.

o - m y - g o d ...
twice he's been asked if he's got a licence, but only once if it is valid; i reckon he'll be showing us his licence "in the bus"...
maybe if he started yawning...
anyways, it's great to be back on the bus; but could i have a front seat by an open window .. i get bus sick. or maybe we'll hire a london bus, then i could sit outside - really on the bus

That's what the MMMTBus was all about, MMIMI! On a board filled with threads with specific topics (that usually meandered off on different tangents, anyway), the MMMTBus just meandered any direction people wanted to take it without worrying that someone would complain that we should "get back on topic!" Conversation usually contained something "Monk-ish" (except the penguins and poisonous truffles, I think).

Um, Tami? Excuse me, but my name's not on the list. That doesn't make much sense...hardly any, really. An oversight, I'm sure.

I just found this board. Hugh Monk fan! Have Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. Well, one is ordered and on the way. I would love to join the bus. BTW--I think that the writers are trying to make a "romance" happen between Monk and Nat--that is why she was able to touch him and he did not flinch. Also, several episodes in the end of 3 led me to believe they were headed that way. NOT very excited about it and hope that it does not happen!

Wait, you left off Raven. She asked for a seat, up above!

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" = Arthur C. Clarke ~~ I don't know who said the corollary...
What I want to know is who said: "A difference that makes no difference is no difference"
And, oops, I thought I added Raven to the list as EarlyRiser! BRB...
P.S. Kevin Dorfman (I can't remember the actor's name right now) and Gail Fleming (Amy Sedaris) are both in the new "Bewitched" movie in small cameos, but they're both memorable ~~ to me!

Hi everyone! I've told all the penguins that the dance floor is back and they're very excited. They'll be happy to partner anyone interested. Such a cooperative group those penguins.
I've opened the bar in the back for those of us who can remember when disco was new and I'm recommending a lot of ice for alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks because it's going to be a hot summer watching one of the hottest shows on television.
What? Oh sorry, I have to go do a slow dance with a penguin.
See ya under the silver ball!

For my contribution to the food list, I'll bring chocolate brownies, with chocolate chunks and chocolate frosting. (Did I mention I love chocolate?)
Cannot wait to finish dancing so I can watch Friday night. I'll also be a relief driver on the bus, but I don't back up well, and I cannot parallel park, so we could be in trouble.

Hey, just a thought---
Is there some way we could rearrange the seating so that there's,like, one huge circle? That way, no one would be in back or up front,and miss some conversations, or food sharing. We could all see each other and be one big happy circle of life.

A rolling hot tub party. Sounds like fun to me. As long as Monk has a private place to change. Otherwise we would all have to leave while he changes. And can be put a penguin guard up around the hot tub. I can't imagine the problems they would cause in the tub.
Og_Of_The_Jungle
Jul 14 2005, 09:02 PM
Well, their idea of a "hot" tub is 40 degrees Farenheit (that's about 4 centigrade).
Plus, they waggle their wings... splashes water everywhere!
The sock monkeys are much better in the hot tub; they just quietly sink. Of course, then they have to ride on top of the bus until they dry out again...
