Rev. H.V. Monkey's Interests
General
Devolution, mutatin', being driven to insane degrees of irritation by all the ignorance around me (there's something kinda masochistic about that), letting people live their lives and hanging out with interesting spuds. I also like Halloween (the holiday), comics, cooking, screenwriting, MTG and sanding wood...
And now a word on monkeys...

Good horror, bad horror, sci-fi, comedy, ..ary. Also, just about anything from John Carpenter, M.

Heroes
I don't believe in heroes--except the ones from the comic books (they're far more reliable).
About me: I'm just a simple ape stuck in a world I didn't create, watching as all the subhumans around me screw, kill or otherwise tell each other how to live. I'm also an ordained minister in the Church of the SubGenius. If you would like to get to know me a little better, take a trip into my mind. I like to make DEVO-doodles in my spare time--it keeps me from blowing things up. To check out my work, click on the link below. And, if you ever feel like chatting it up about anything at all, my Yahoo screen name is simply devodude71. I'm usually up till the wee hours of the night.
Who I'd like to meet:
The Atlantic Paranormal Society, The boys on Mythbusters, Stephen King, John Carpenter, Willie Nelson, Elvis (you KNOW he's still alive), Stan Lee & any/all Sub Genii, chronic flounder-pounders and DEVOTEES--much love to the Spuds!

there's no such thing as de-evolution. evolution is a forward moving process, everything is forward moving. the human idea of progress is where the phrase/idea of de-evolution came from.
