"hail the monkey" is not masturbation - Nubblies.net Forums

buckeye · 12-08-2002, 10:37 PM

Recently the English scholors at WCHS, met during their lunch time to discuss the this topic, and in their ultimate wisdom, they concluded it referred to masturbation. Contradicting their superior wisdom on this issue, i would like to offer the true meaning to "hail the monkey" as was said on the announcements friday.

The monkey, a swim team idol has been around for about 7 years now it was created by John L. in ceramics class. The monkey was offically adopted as the idol of the men's swim team, and since then before every meet we "Hail the monkey". Hailing the monkey consists of the "keeper" of the monkey hoisting this beloved idol into the air and screaming "Hail", while the rest of the monkey faithful reply "the monkey". This is repeated 3 time in sucession, until the 4th time in which the keeper yells "Go", and the faithful reply "Warsaw".

The above is the definition of hail the monkey in reference to what was said on the announcements. It is clear cut that this does not pertain to masturbation whatsoever, and further proves that the English department has thier minds in the gutter.

The monkey has been featured on the announcements in years past, and there was no problem with it, however for some reason this is not the case this year. Rumor has it that I am supposed to get into trouble for this come monday, for my "reference" to masturbation. To this i say perverts bring it on, i imagine i can dig up some dirty meaning somewhere that pertains to your daily english activities.

i can't believe that they thought that was masturbatory but then have always in the past completely overlooked blatently 'inappropriate' things. refucks.

I've got to be honest, I'm quite a perverted fellow and I'll take any opportunity presented to turn a random phrase into a sexual innuendo...but, upon hearing the words "Hail the Monkey," masturbation could not be further from my mind. In fact, when I hear the term...as I see you holding a real ceramic monkey...I think of nothing sexual at all... In closing, the English folks are clearly trying to make this into something that they can use to get you in trouble.

The "choking the chicken" bit that you pulled before the "hail the monkey" thing was much MUCH more masturbatationary than "hail the monkey." You should try to use "releasing the hostages" sometime...just to see what kind of response it gets

I dont know how hard it is to believe you on this issue here Orgazmo. I mean come on... look at that avatar...

wow
i've been doing this cheer for 4 years now and have never thought that the school would think to go as far as to think it was inapropriate. Now i would understnad that if you siad it out of the blue and didnt have any reason behind it but since it had to refer to swimming and this has been a tradition for 7 years i dont know what the heck they were thinking. the "choke the chicken is a 2nd year cheer that came around last year after we found this lonely creature in our locker room and thought that what the hell chock the chicken and hail the monkey what could be better to the guys swim team. i think the school needs to back off and let the monkey and the chicken live on for years to come

lando · 12-10-2002, 12:52 AM

It seems to me that because the mention of "hail the monkey" was said in conjunction with "choke the chicken," many uninformed adults would assume that both have masturbatory significance. Now a little "spankin'" instead of "hailing" changes the meaning altogether.

Since Mr. B was not there that day and those who made those statements to the student, faculty, and community members took advantage of certain Kinseyan sub, it seems logical that the administration would assume double meanings.

12-10-2002, 01:15 AM

I can see how the administration could come to that conclusion via assumption...but coming to any conclusion via assumption doesn't necessarily make that conclusion valid. Basically, I can see how they could suspect that "hailing the monkey" could have a different meaning that buckeye intended...but I don't see how they could try to pursue any type of repercussions simply because they think that he may have meant something perverted. Now, had he said we "spank the monkey" before every meet, or even "we hail the monkey, if you know what I mean..." (please visit this thread for more information on that subject) that would be a horse of a different color...but he didn't, he said only "hail the monkey", which really isn't similar to "spank the monkey" at all. If saying a phrase that was one word away from being perverted was a persecutable offense, I wouldn't be able to say things like "I'm going to visit the clown" because "visit" could be replaced with "punch."

Lando....you need to shut the fuck up you fucking moron. No one wants to hear your two cents you worhtless peice of shit. If they wanted it to be "spankin" they would have said spankin, but they said hail. Hail the monkey has nothign to do with jerkin off your penis. If you think it does I'll smack you right in the face with my monkey, if you know what I mean.

Ugly Bastard · 12-12-2002, 02:31 AM

Lethal-

Actually, I think lando has a pretty interesting point. If you read his message instead of just pulling the old Mexy-Skim (Mexy-Skim: reading something without actually taking the time to comprehend what it is saying. I just coined that phrase, let the record state that.), you might actually see that lando makes quite a few valid points worth serious consideration.

So next time you see a post by a Newbie, don't automatically assume it's shit (even though it usually is), because sometimes they actually have half-way decent points to make.

Titan · 12-13-2002, 03:24 PM

I actually had this thought myself... and now that you mention it, I bet it's not that hard to figure out who it is... he's got a name and avatar from Star Wars... hhmmmm...

And I shall add, if the "Kinseyan" sub he is refering to is who I think she is, I fucking hate that BITCH!!

lando · 12-13-2002, 07:30 PM

Lethal . . . whether you spank or hail, you should try doing one or the other because you're wound too tight.

12-14-2002, 08:04 PM

you are one fucked up son of a bitch lando. you just told lethal to jack off...why the fuck would tell him that? sick fucker.

anyways, back to the topic at hand, hail the monkey has no correlation at all to masturbation. so hail the monkey all you want...and fuck the school.

Lethal · 12-16-2002, 01:37 AM

I hail my monkey plenty, if you know what i mean. But i sure would let you do it for me anyday.
