New Icons - New GOO and fun 4 you! That's what you get as we roll out 3 New Icon Sets in the Gallery for this week's Icon Edition. So without further ado, let's just DO!

Leslie Javorek - Now really, folks. It's not such a hot idea to take up the cigarette habit. But once you see the "smokin'" new set by Leslie Javorek, you'll see that it won't affect your cyber health. MacKool System is the latest in cool icon creations by Leslie that combines the classic cool in menthol stogies and everyone's favorite Mac. Hot stuff!

 

DV Graphics - Nope...It's no secret that Apple has become a "switcher" in their own right. But it's also no mystery that DV Graphics's Paul Sahner always stays on the cutting edge of all things Mac! As soon as Apple made their announcement to begin using Pentium processors, Paul had his "single shot" Intel Inside right out the door!

 

Steven Ansell - Out with the new, in with the...Old? Perhaps it should be the other way around, but with one look at newSystem by Steven Ansell, we're sure your heads will be spinnin' around! In this all-too-cool collection, Steve combines his classic retrospective point of view with a flash from the future to create a timeless icon collection...Enjoy!

 

Thanks Department --

Leslie, Paul, and Steve...

You're all too Kool for your own good!

THANK YOU!

Flea Dog!

Sign In Pet Store: "Buy one dog, get one flea..."

PEANUTS!

A doctor at an insane asylum, decided to take his inmates to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands.

When the day of the game arrived, everything seemed to be going well. As the national anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up nuts!" And the inmates complied by standing up.

After the anthem he yelled, "Down Nuts!" And they all sat. After a home run he yelled, "Cheer nuts!" And they all broke into applause and cheers.

Thinking things were going very well, he decided to go get a beer and a hot-dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned there was a riot in progress. Finding his assistant, he asked what happened.

The assistant replied, "Well...everything was fine until some guy walked by and yelled, 'PEANUTS!'"

Home Sweet Home

Home is where you can say anything you like 'cause nobody listens to you anyway.

Bacon Tree

A man and his three friends were moseying along somewhere in the American midwest when one of them says

"Hey, that looks like a bacon tree over there"

They talked about it and decided it was.

The first one said "Well, I really fancy a bacon sandwich, so I'm going over there, I'll see you shortly" and off he goes on his horse.

A couple of hours pass and the two remaining friends are getting worried, because that tree wasn't very far away, when their friend comes staggering back into sight, his hat full of arrows.

"What happened!!!" they cried.

"It wasn't a bacon tree after all", he said "It was a hambush"

Giveaway | Winners Disclosed Friday! | Desktops | Community News | Bananas

At The Top: Winners Announced Friday - Are you a winner? Will you have a new iPod, iPod shuffle, Bundle of Fun, or iTunes Gift Certificate in your pocket? There's only one way to find out: Stop by this Friday to see if you're one of the winning entrants in our 4 For Four Birthday Giveaway! And even if you were not randomly selected from our list of names, everyone's a victor as we roll out this week's Wednesday Desktop Edition! There's plenty of GUI goodies, News, and Bananas to place a smile on your Monkie platter. So let's get to the goods!

New GOO!

New Desktops - Ready to freshen up your desktop view with all new GOO? Then you're in luck as we roll out 4 New Desktops for this week's Desktop Edition. From nature's splendor to the dimensions in digital design, you're sure to find just what the Monkie Doctor ordered!

Nature - When in need to feed, plant a seed...Indeed! Well, you may not be able to satisfy your solar plexus, but your eyes will be appeased with Stem, a beautiful taste of Nature by Adam Dickson of Pictures and adicons. Doing what he does best, Adam captures a moment in time for a timeless design!

Whoa doggies! It would certainly seem that pixel popper Bob Wiley has been rather busy crafting some succulent snapshot selections as of late! One of his most recent photos, the Dades Valley of the Atlas Mountains showing greenery, and lots of small towns built on the edges of these green belts.

3-D Rendered - Ahhh... Existence on the beach can be a bunch of blissful bubbles! Or is that just Life in the eyes of Dave Hornsby? Either way, the reach for your desktop "tops in pops" is certain as this fine selection will easily rise to the surface of your favorites and still keep your eye candy appetite afloat!

You know what the song says, "The nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin' away!" And so would be the story of Slide by MacMonkies' Bradford Wiles. Originally from the Bryce wire frames of Fracture with an alternative twist, it was the run up to FractureerutcarF (minus the copy, turn, paste). Enjoy!

Connect The Dot

I earn a seven-figure salary. Unfortunately, there's a decimal point involved.

Office Rules

1. In any organization, there will always be one person who knows what is going on. This person must be fired.

2. a. Anyone can make a decision given enough facts.

b. A good manager can make a decision without enough facts.

c. A perfect manager can operate in perfect ignorance.

3. The one time in the day that you lean back and relax is the one time the boss walks in your office.

4. Teamwork is essential. It allows you to blame someone else.

5. An easily-understood, workable falsehood is more useful than a complex, incomprehensible truth.

6. If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you just don't understand the problem.

7. The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made.

8. Anything is possible if you don't know what you're talking about.

9. If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy man - he will find an easier way to do it.

Checkout Time

I gave my son a hint. On his room door I put a sign: "CHECKOUT TIME IS 18"

Lobsters and Asians

Q: What do a lobster and an Asian run over by a steam roller
have in common?

A: They're both "crushed-asians"

Argh, That Woman!!!

The clerk asked me, "Cash, check or charge?" after ringing up my purchase.

As I fumbled through my wallet, she noticed a remote control for a television set in my purse.

"Do you always carry your TV remote?" she asked.

"No," I replied. "But my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the meanest I could do to him!"

Car Talk

What did the Chevy sat to the Ford?

Would you like a tow home?

Boss

A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot. The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said, "The parrot to the left costs 500 dollars."

"Why does that parrot cost so much?" the man wondered.

The owner replied, "Well, it knows how to use a computer."

The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.

"That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system." Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot.

"That one costs 2,000 dollars."

"And what does that one do?" the man asked.

The owner replied, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a thing, but the other two call him boss!"

What is a Dog?

They follow you around with their tongues out.

They only respond to simple commands.

Their needs are basic and predictable.

They whine when their needs are not met.

They always need to have something in their mouth.

They scratch a lot and sometimes drool.

They make loud noises and sometimes smell bad.

They need to be trained.

You can always tell when one has lived in a house for a long time.

They're rude and rowdy, especially when they're with others like them.

Conclusion: They're little men in fuzzy boxes.
