182nd Temporal Tuesday - 25 December

This Tuesday was Christmas so everyone stayed home. However Mr. Rusty Monkey did survive the end of the world the Friday before.

************************************************************************************ Thursday, 20 December ************************************************************************************ @mrrustymonkey: * a monkey doll wakes up on #TemporalTues/ Wednesday & looks @ his special countdown clock. It says... 1 day, 11hrs, 11mins & 11secs *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * he quickly gathers up a bag filled with #TemporalTues horns & sparklers & all sorts of "trick" items, & then skips downstairs to wait *

@mrrustymonkey: * in the #TemporalTues conservatory, he drools over a yummy caramel cake. it's sitting on the table next to bottle a champagne *

@mrrustymonkey: * this #TemporalTues table is also covered with odd survival books & tools - even a tiny "bug out" kit, complete with a box of crayons *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * with a tiny piece of orgone in 1 hand & his miniature bible in the other, he takes his seat ... on the #TemporalTues time machine *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, into the internet I delve! Is it the last week on earth, 2012? ;-)

‏@mrrustymonkey: Where are the signs #TemporalTues, will they come from the sky? Will the earth just disappear in the blink of an eye?

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, will God start His game over - go back to begin? Or will He be merciful & let this human race win?

@mrrustymonkey: Who am I #TemporalTues, just a toy chimpanzee... or one of those apes from 2001's Space Odyssey?

‏@mrrustymonkey: Where's that obelisk #TemporalTues? Is there an alien from Lisan? Is all of this some grand, intergalactic plan?

@mrrustymonkey: Should we count it down #TemporalTues, or start counting again? Are these doomsday prophesies just a popular trend?

@mrrustymonkey: * looks at his #TemporalTues countdown clock again, it says 11 hrs 11 mins & 11 secs *

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, there are so many things that we're trying to avoid. One of them, at least, is a giant asteroid...

‏@mrrustymonkey: ... or maybe a planet #TemporalTues. They call it Nibiru. Is this the 13th b'ak 'tun? Did the Mayans really have a clue?

‏@mrrustymonkey: Is this the Rapture #TemporalTues? Will our souls lift into the sky? Is the tribulation coming? Oh no, I'm gonna cry. :-(

@mrrustymonkey: * looks @ his #TemporalTues countdown clock again. it says 1 hr 11 mins & 11 secs *

@mrrustymonkey: * opens his #TemporalTues crayon box & picks out some appropriate colors for doodling @ the end of the world *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * begins to color a final #TemporalTues picture, using his "Aztec gold" "rainforest" & "fresh air" crayons. *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * then, he digs out his #TemporalTues "outer space" "deep space sparkle " & "cosmic cobalt" crayons. *

@mrrustymonkey: * he finishes off his #TemporalTues picture with the "smoke," "dirt" & "shadow" crayons *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * looks @ his #TemporalTues countdown clock one last time. it says 1 min & 11 secs *

‏@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, if this is the end of the world, let the maestro sing... View media...

************************************************************************************
Friday, 21 December
************************************************************************************
@mrrustymonkey: * it's 11 #TemporalTues secs past 11:11 UT ( or 6:11 am his time ) on 12/21/12. he opens his crooked glass eyes with apprehension *

‏@mrrustymonkey: I am still here! Yes, I knew it #TemporalTues. ;-) I am still here. !!!!!!!!!!! *********** !!!!!!!!!!!

‏@mrrustymonkey: * gets up from the #TemporalTues table & runs to the mirror. his reflection shows the same old monkey face, unchanged *

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, My Oh My! What a joyous surprise! No signs of reptilian alien eyes! ;-)

@mrrustymonkey: Nor do I have wings #TemporalTues? Nope, just some fading mohair. Nothing happened! Wait, somehow this doesn't seem fair?

‏@mrrustymonkey: I'm embarrassed #TemporalTues! I could just crawl off & spit! There's no such thing as a zombie apocalypse!

@mrrustymonkey: I was duped #TemporalTues! Yes, I fell for the hoax! Why are monkeys always the butts of these jokes?

@mrrustymonkey: * opens up his #TemporalTues crayon box & pours out some crayons to reflect his new "mood ring" on life *

@mrrustymonkey: * doodles with his "Pixie Feet" crayon * @thisbear warned that I should stop listening to #TemporalTues pixies @ the bottom of the garden!

‏@mrrustymonkey: * starts coloring with the "Magic Potion" "Illuminating Emerald" & "Bittersweet Shimmer" #TemporalTues crayons *

@mrrustymonkey: * gets out his "Sea Serpent" "Sasquatch Socks" & "Big Foot Feet" crayons & gives #TemporalTues the raspberries * ;-)

@mrrustymonkey: * puts back the "Ogre Odor" "Gargoyle Gas" & "Alien Armpit" crayons - cause they're just too smelly * Yuck #TemporalTues! * :-)

@mrrustymonkey: * takes a whiff of the "Fresh Air" "Wintergreen Dream" & "Twilight Lavender" crayons & starts to shut his #TemporalTues eyes again *

‏@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine... I will see you again in my dreams, it seems... #end…;-)

************************************************************************************ Saturday, 15 December ************************************************************************************ @vonHogflume: #TemporalTues I have returned from Hawaii as I learned that 2012 Britain has warmed up. 8.5 degrees C today, not -5 as last Tuesday!

180th Temporal Tuesday - 11 December

‏@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues I am going to Hawaii in summer 1970 to warm up on the beach. It is too cold in Britain in December 2012.

************************************************************************************ ‏@mrrustymonkey: * it's a cold day in the #TemporalTues twitterverse. a car door opens & a monkey doll steps out, reluctantly. *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * he heads straight for the #TemporalTues gym, that's connected to Doesn't Really Matter Junior High. *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * he spies an empty section of the #TemporalTues bleachers & climbs to his perch. he pulls out his study papers as he waits for the bell. *

  ‏@mrrustymonkey: * this introspective seat on the bleachers of life seems to always be his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine. *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, you're so sadly self centered. You greatly irritate me! It's 1980.

@mrrustymonkey: You're so childish #TemporalTues, wearing ONLY name brands. You prance & you flirt, as I sit quietly in the stands.

‏@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, you gossip too much & you hang out in cliques. You pretend to be "metro" yet you come from the sticks. ‏

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, you're all surface level & plastic, as shallow as can be. I need friends with depth of character around me.

@mrrustymonkey: *suddenly, he flashes forward to present day. he's sitting @ the dining room table, waiting for the #TemporalTues morning meeting to start*

‏@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, you claim you're so smart but you're an illiterate fool. You use "like" every other word, as a general rule. ‏

@mrrustymonkey: You're too expensive #TemporalTues, in every possible way. No, I won't keep you around - not even one more day.

@mrrustymonkey: So goodbye #TemporalTues, you've lost your place at my table - another chapter in my book, an unfortunate fable. ‏

@mrrustymonkey: Have a nice life #TemporalTues, now be gone forever! * whispers * "Good luck in all your future endeavors." ;-) ‏

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, she is out of our lives. :-) It's time to sing! View media

@pinkbunnyr: @mrrustymonkey Rusty? No more #TemporalTues?

@mrrustymonkey: Oh dear, that wasn't what I meant @pinkbunnyr. I had drifted off into the past & was tweeting about someone/ something else. :-)

@mrrustymonkey: I love the #TemporalTues time machine @pinkbunnyr. Sometimes I like to remember the stressful times, so I can make sense of the present.

@mrrustymonkey: * a Moravian Star porch light turns on, somewhere in the #TemporalTues twitterverse & a monkey doll scurries nervously about *

@mrrustymonkey: * he opens the door along the mezzanine & peeps out, watching for any #TemporalTues guests to step inside *

@mrrustymonkey: * outside, there are tables & chairs set up for a fabulous #TemporalTues party. the trees are illuminated in pastel colors, as always *

@mrrustymonkey: * the #TemporalTues guests begin to move about & there are sounds of glasses & dishes clinking. the band prepares for the 1st dance *

@mrrustymonkey: * he heads downstairs to his #TemporalTues hiding spot under the stairs - a tiny, gothic, child's chair sitting in the corner *

@mrrustymonkey: * once again, this "waiting chair" is his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, I'm feeling kinda grouchy. It's my old wedding slump. It's any weekend in the Spring / last month.

@mrrustymonkey: There are SO many weddings #TemporalTues! And most times they're quite nice. But sometimes… I tire of rose petals & rice.

@mrrustymonkey: The $'s never enough #TemporalTues. I wish there was some other way... to save the old house & be able to stay.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, the caterers steal food & always leave trash behind. And we loose precious days off / our only chance to unwind.

@mrrustymonkey: And #TemporalTues, tent rental trucks drive all over this yard! Watching their abuse is incredibly hard.

@mrrustymonkey: No one cares #TemporalTues, it's JUST a rental you see. They go home, leaving the destruction with me.

@mrrustymonkey: If I had teeth #TemporalTues, I would bite EVERY one! I'd run WILD through their reception & SPOIL all their fun!

@mrrustymonkey: This is MY house #TemporalTues. She's important to ME. We've made too many sacrifices for this jeweled property.

@mrrustymonkey: I'm makes me nervous #TemporalTues, but what can I do? I'll just sit here & wait this thing out with you.

@mrrustymonkey: Look @ that bridesmaid #TemporalTues, was her makeup put on with a trowel? Bet she'll remove it, later on, with my best towel!

‏@mrrustymonkey: Look @ that groomsmen #TemporalTues, he thinks he'll get lucky tonight. If he keeps grabbing that girl, there will soon be a fight!

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, now who is that funky, drunken baboon? Oh… it's just the "unleashed" step-father of another little groom.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, now who is that grinning chimpanzee? Oh… I was looking in a mirror - it's just little old me! ;-)

@mrrustymonkey: Lock the display cases #TemporalTues! Hide the heirloom pieces! Remind me to bring them back out when this event finally ceases.

@mrrustymonkey: * takes a deep #TemporalTues breath, as he remembers all the answers to "why"… once again *

@mrrustymonkey: But EVERY time #TemporalTues… I look out these windows & say with great pride, "These years have been a most marvelous ride!"

@mrrustymonkey: This is the lifetime of sharing #TemporalTues. It's fun to let this place out. It's made many people happy, without any doubt.

@mrrustymonkey: And we have a museum #TemporalTues - a museum of OUR dreams. Those tourists like it too, so it seems. ;-)

@mrrustymonkey: So please forgive me #TemporalTues, now that's all off my chest. Besides, this event's almost over… let's enjoy the rest. :-)

@mrrustymonkey: * whispers to #TemporalTues * "My house is me & I am it…. & it looks like all of my dreams."

@mrrustymonkey: * he stares off into #TemporalTues space, remembering that very 1st time he saw the old house & :-) *

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, it's time for the last dance. It's time to sing …. View video

‏@mrrustymonkey: * a nursery school door opens in the #TemporalTues twitterverse & a monkey doll steps inside. he's carrying a box of crayons & paper *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * he hands them to the teacher & watches as she spreads them out across the #TemporalTues "mahogany" floor *

‏@mrrustymonkey: * he sits down on his little "red" floor mat, just like all the other children. this is his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine *

‏@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues we're coloring with crayons! Oh joy! It's so much fun! It's 1971. :-)

‏@mrrustymonkey: We're making a mural #TemporalTues for our "gray" nursery school wall. All the boys & girls are having a ball!

‏@mrrustymonkey: It's a Crayola world #TemporalTues on a giant "white" paper sheet! The teacher says, "Children, please keep your space neat."

‏@mrrustymonkey: But it's hard #TemporalTues with so many crayons, you see. There's a rainbow of fishes in our deep "navy blue" sea!

‏@mrrustymonkey: At the top #TemporalTues , there's a "sky blue" sky. We're adding swirls of "gold" & "silver" but we don't know why?

‏@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues the center's all "spring green" grass & trees. We add "brick red" tulips & "goldenrod" bumblebees!

‏@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues beside a "forest green" tree, we've drawn a "raw umber" log… & it's complete with an "olive green" bullfrog!

‏@mrrustymonkey: Something's missing #TemporalTues - something to swing from our trees? How 'bout some "bittersweet" monkeys, please!

‏@mrrustymonkey: * he imagines taking a few #TemporalTues bites out of the "apricot" & "melon" crayons, but puts them back down & grins *

‏@mrrustymonkey: Our memories are "sepia" & "maize" & so very "plum". Perhaps my #TemporalTues trip was a little bit dumb? :-)

‏@mrrustymonkey: But you see #TemporalTues , a box of crayons & some paper was our sweet & simple start... to a lifetime of creativity & a passion for art.

@mrrustymonkey: So thank you #TemporalTues for this colorful trip in time, when our world was a box of crayons & everything was " peri- ;-) -le " fine.

@mrrustymonkey: * he was having a #TemporalTues nightmare about selling art supplies out of his apartment, while impatient customers yelled @ him *

@mrrustymonkey: * his tired, twitching eyes search the #TemporalTues darkness for the clock.It's only 3:33 am. whew! he can still sleep a little longer *

@mrrustymonkey: * he gets up anyway, & steps into his sparse living / dining room & sits down on a bar stool - his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine *

@mrrustymonkey: * he looks @ his tiny Christmas tree. he made those #TemporalTues ornaments, but no one's around to notice. he stares into the darkness *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, we're slaves @ our job. Someone please set us free! It's 1990.

@mrrustymonkey: We're exhausted #TemporalTues, working a 7 day week. As entry level grunts, our pay is minimum wage meek.

@mrrustymonkey: We're going nowhere #TemporalTues, our future's a big question mark "?" We leave our apartment early morning & return way after dark.

@mrrustymonkey: We do the manager's job #TemporalTues, but we don't get her pay. Perhaps the experience itself will be valuable someday?

@mrrustymonkey: But for now #TemporalTues, we'll unbox these supplies. We price 'um & arrange 'um & won't be surprised…

@mrrustymonkey: …if we work a 12 hour shift #TemporalTues, without any help. We haven't eaten today, but we're too scared to yelp.

@mrrustymonkey: We NEED this job #TemporalTues. It's the recession you see. That better gallery position went to a Ph.D.

@mrrustymonkey: Our college diploma #TemporalTues isn't worth diddly squat ... while we're punching this "real world" robotic time clock.

@mrrustymonkey: Now it's Christmas Eve #TemporalTues & it's getting real late. We need to run register totals & close down this mall gate.

@mrrustymonkey: It's almost midnight #TemporalTues & we're facing a 2 hr drive! We want to spend Christmas with our parents. Hope we make it there alive?

@mrrustymonkey: But these customers are screaming #TemporalTues, "I need to buy some more stuff!" We're 2 seconds from yelling, "Enough is enough!"

@mrrustymonkey: * he closes his eyes tightly & skips ahead exactly one #TemporalTues year into the future… then he opens his eyes again & :-) *

@mrrustymonkey: Oh yes #TemporalTues, I really like what I see! Daddy's kissing mommy next to a jeweled Christmas tree…

@mrrustymonkey: … in a large, warm house #TemporalTues - like the ones we'd drive by & say, "Sure hope we have a home like that one someday!"

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, daddy gave us a career / an escape. Our lives changed in a snap! He helped us break from our chains & out of our trap.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, he saw our potential & our value. He even invested in ME! ;-) And that investment paid multiples in love, you see.

@mrrustymonkey: So what's the lesson #TemporalTues? Things can change? Yep, things can go your way…if you can just hold on, hold on, for one more day.

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, love & kindness is the key that allows me to sing… View video

@mrrustymonkey: * a #TemporalTues tune plays in his head, as he gives a paycheck to someone with a familiar ? look on her face. hold on Cynthia. hold on. *

@mrrustymonkey: Thanks old chap for the #FF! @Wendell_Howe - well worth following on #FF... & #TemporalTues! ;-) Thanks for creating my favorite day!

@mrrustymonkey: Where's "The Strip" #TemporalTues? I want to see those bright lights! "Hey mommy, can I pop out & see all the sights?"

@mrrustymonkey: *he looks up to see a beam of #TemporalTues light slicing through the darkness. the zipper slides open & a hand reaches in to pull him out*

@mrrustymonkey: Hooray #TemporalTues! We're unpacked & ready to relax in our room. We're way up in the sky. Did I just hear a loud boom?

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, that fountain outside shoots high up in the air! The water dances to music! Let's just sit here & stare.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, that building's covered with faces. It that Donny & Marie? Now this looks like a Vegas of my memory?

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, but where's Elvis & Wayne Newton... the Rat Pack @ the Dunes? That fake Eiffel Tower seems a bit "Looney Tunes".

@mrrustymonkey: * he continues to sit, mesmerized by the #TemporalTues entertainment below. everything appears to be spinning. he grins.

@mrrustymonkey: OK #TemporalTues. This is Vegas, so just about anything goes. Tomorrow night, we'll enjoy a cool Broadway-style show!

@mrrustymonkey: But tonight #TemporalTues, we celebrate 15 & 45! It's their anniversary & her birthday… & we're all still alive. ;-)

@mrrustymonkey: Let's order room service #TemporalTues & listen to old standards & jazz. We'll save tomorrow for any wild razzmatazz!

@mrrustymonkey: * he hears a familiar #TemporalTues song playing & suddenly he's back in a 1960's Vegas with his daddy. "How lucky can one monkey be!"

@Wendell_A_Howe: @lousmom313 Wise decision! Even if you left Titanic before it sank, would you have fun knowing everyone around you was doomed? #TemporalTues

‏@lousmom313: @Wendell_A_Howe i don't know. I doubt it. I'd probably be subdued, knowing the famous and their fates. #temporaltues

‏@lousmom313: @Wendell_A_Howe i'd probably just try to soak in as much of the ambiance and enviroment as i could. #temporaltues

@mrrustymonkey: * suddenly, an old monkey doll pops his head into the #TemporalTues twitterverse & :-) *

@mrrustymonkey: * he's wearing a red bow tie & an old straw hat. he dances, in soft-shoe, onto the #TemporalTues stage *

@mrrustymonkey: * he holds a candy cane in one hand & drags an old #TemporalTues cardboard box behind him with the other *

@mrrustymonkey: * he opens the box, hops in, & then closes his eyes. this is his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, I'm still sitting in a box... but I'm OK? Yes, I'll be fine? It's 1969.

@mrrustymonkey: It's dark #TemporalTues. I wonder what's happening out there? I can hear all kinds of sounds & it doesn't seem fair…

@mrrustymonkey: ...to be packed in this box #TemporalTues, when I want some cuddles & hugs. Instead, I fear the bite of those awful moth bugs!

@mrrustymonkey: What year is it #TemporalTues, did they forget about me? There's still plenty of life left in this monkey, you see!

@mrrustymonkey: Their world is changing #TemporalTues, but mine stands still while I wait. Someday, this box will open…yes, that will be great!

@mrrustymonkey: And I'll pop out of here #TemporalTues, a Jack in box grinning surprise! Will they notice that I'm missing one of my eyes?

@mrrustymonkey: Do I still look good enough #TemporalTues? Oh, go away awful bugs! You see, a moth eaten stuffed animal never gets any hugs.

@mrrustymonkey: * he closes his #TemporalTues eyes again & imagines the vivid, rainbow colors of a carnival ferris wheel… *

@mrrustymonkey: * … his #TemporalTues ears can almost hear the steam whistle, screamer strains of a circus calliope. he smiles. *

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, while I wait in this box, I might as well sing…. View video

@mrrustymonkey: * he tips his little #TemporalTues straw hat to @WendellHowe & sits there, bouncing around the years with his friend *

@mrrustymonkey: * they talk about who knows what ? & then he scratches his #TemporalTues head, trying hard to remember a once familiar tune *

@mrrustymonkey: * one minute they were there, & the next minute, it'd be 40 years later. he reaches up & puts a coin into the #TemporalTues jukebox & ;-) *

@mrrustymonkey: * Oh #TemporalTues time machine, for a very special friend, will you please sing… View video

@Wendell_A_Howe: @mrrustymonkey Yes, there are days I feel I spend my life bouncing about time like Veronica. *Tips top hat* #TemporalTues

mrrustymonkey: * a bedside phone rings, somewhere in the #TemporalTues twitterverse & a monkey doll suddenly jolts to attention *

@mrrustymonkey: * the #TemporalTues clock says 5:55 am. but what day is it? he turns on the light & sits quietly, knowing what has happened *

@mrrustymonkey: * whatever they're saying on the other end of the #TemporalTues phone doesn't register. he feels hollow & speechless *

@mrrustymonkey: * he doesn't want to be a part of "right now". indeed any #TemporalTues yesterday is a much better choice. he closes his eyes *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, I can't think of the right thing to say. And It just keeps on being today.

@mrrustymonkey: So help me go back #TemporalTues to a sunnier time - when she was young & the world was much more refined.

@mrrustymonkey: I see her now #TemporalTues, wearing her pink Sunday best. Grandaddy "G" sits beside her & takes his first test.

@mrrustymonkey: He'll ask her name #TemporalTues, & with a smile on her face, she'll open her hymnal & point to... "Amazing Grace."

@mrrustymonkey: That's how it began #TemporalTues, in that time from their past. I wish I could make this scene last & last.

@mrrustymonkey: It's all safe here #TemporalTues, this "time out" from our sorrow. Don't worry, I'll be back here again tomorrow.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, now I'm skipping ahead to Christmas 2011. It was the last time we saw her. Today, she's an angel in heaven.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, I wish I could see her & hug her & kiss her sweet face. I will miss you my "GaGa". I will miss you Miss Grace.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, she said, " Now y'all be good to one another & always love one another." Yes Maam. Piece of cake.

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, the little town of Newton will gather to sing... Amazing Grace
