Monkey Fables And Tales

If you spend any time dropping entrecards, sooner or later you’re going to run across Monkey Fables And Tales. The entrecard for it is easy to spot: A red background with an irate looking blue cartoon monkey asking “How about if I spank you?”

This blog describes it self thusly: “Nonsense served almost daily. Some of which may be true, some not so much. Plus some other crap.” and regardless of how true any of it is, there’s a lot of funny to be found here. One Prime example that’s had our house laughing heartily is this recent gem: I Could’ve Used Dear Abby’s Advice

Any time a blog post can manage to work in the phrase “Holy mother of methane, what the hell was that?!”, you know it’s got to be worth a read.

Readability 9.5

Text colors have just enough contrast from the background to make it easy to forget about reading and just enjoy the humor.

Layout 8.5

Slightly customized looking version of a standard “Blogger” theme

Load time 8.5

Not bad. firebug reports 10.8 seconds to load 74 requests

Scrollability 7.5

I found it to be a tad sluggish to scroll although I couldn’t identify the reason.

Writing 9.5

This stuff is Funny!

Total Score 43.5
