Anonymous Blogger Really That Weird

Following a recent trend of unnamed bloggers being outed as perhaps the exact opposite of their online identity — a straight man instead of a gay woman, for example — there has been yet another shocking blogger news story. The Lead Code Breaker for chickenmonkeydog has just confessed to being much more weird than he comes across on the blog!

“I am sorry for misleading our readers for so many years. I know it was wrong to pretend that I was just this normal guy living in American suburbia,” the Editor tearfully admitted in a recent interview with NPR. “I really am odd. I say silly things to strangers, I wear silly hats in public, I shout random names at the top of voice in the grocery store. I certainly am not a mild-mannered, quiet, every day kind of guy.”

Found: Chickens, Monkeys, Dogs

Last Friday we finished collecting pictures of the chickens, monkeys and dogs that are part of all of our daily lives.

Thanks to the diligent focus, attention to detail and rapid camera-reaction time of our readers, we were able to locate quite a number of wild and free chickens, monkeys and dogs.

We’ve posted all the entries in an album over on our chickenmonkeydog facebook page!

How about ambling on over to take a look at the entries.  Feel free to Like and Comment on the photos to your heart’s content.

We’ll be announcing the winners of the t-shirts and the occasionally coveted chickenmonkeydog mug next Friday!
