...calendar!
I got two calenders for 2006.
Home: Amnesty International. It was given to me by my friend Justin Guarglia, a National Geographic photographer who has done some work on Shaolin. January's pic is his, a head shot of young disciple on standing his head.
Work: Taschen's Dali. I sold back some books and this was the only calendar left that was in the least bit appealing. In a classic Dali sensiblity, the days and months are in 8 languages, and each week starts on Monday (Montag or Lundi or Lunes or Luendi or Segunda-feira or Maandag or well, I can't do the Chinese characters here...) instead of Sunday. January's pic is Leda Atomica, a nekkid Gala with cradling a white swan's head, which I'm sure confuses anyone here looking at it.
What, you people don't use wall calendars? - Drunk Monk - 01-24-2006
I realize that part of the disturbing entropic zone I'm in may have to do with my calendar choice. The Shaolin disciple on his head may be symbolic of my situation. Of course, Dali will always be surreal. Maybe 2006 will be surreal. That's what I get for getting a calendar for used books, I suppose.

Exquisite Creatures -- the Insect Art of Christopher Marley.
Lots of colorful, iridescent and well-endowed beetle pics to keep me hot and energized while editing dry technical manuals into masterworks of science fiction.
Something like that...

I've got the Men of NCRA (National Court Reporters Association) calendar. Got it as a gift for attending (and contributing) at a fundraiser. Thank G-d they're all dressed. Male court reporters are NOT an attractive bunch.
score another for the queen - Drunk Monk - 01-26-2006
that has got to be the most absurd calendar i've ever heard of. shouldn't it go in the 'my job really sucks' thread?
Absurd, yes, but... - The Queen - 01-26-2006
...they made a lot of money at that fundraiser. You should have seen the line to get the guys to autograph their pictures. These guys are very popular in the profession.
And really, is it that much more bizarre than Greg's "coffins" calendar from last year, or was it the year before. Sure, there were hot chicks draped over the coffins, but...
OK. You're right. My job REALLY sucks.
chicks and coffins, did you say? - Drunk Monk - 01-26-2006
did they make a 2006 calendar?
maybe we should make a brothers of DOOM calendar to raise money to support the site. i'd wear my tux...that is if i still had one that fit. how about monk robes instead? hey, if we can make a easy-cheese-pudding-drunk-monk-iron-crotch-kick t-shirt, anything is possible...

No. Last I heard, I'm one of the items being auctioned off this year -- a day of training with me, that is. Should be interesting to see how much that brings in.

We were kinda hoping you'd buy it... - Drunk Monk - 01-27-2006
...in fact, we were hoping you would buy all of them to make for your free *trade* subscription to the forum.
I was auctioned off in high school once as part of a senior fundraiser. I was auctioned off with two other guys (we were collectively known as 'the trinity', ED knows them). Anyway, it was fairly tramautic. I suggest being well medicated for the experience.
2007? - Drunk Monk - 01-08-2007
I went to the mall at lunch with the specific goal of buying a calendar, but failed on my errand. It was a toss up between the Grateful Dead calendar (an old standard), Llewellan's Witch calendar (need my moon phases, doncha know) and Everlast's girlie calendar (I was going to put it up in the office and say "see why Everlast sells more than Tiger Claw? Hotties. I need a budget to hire real models).
As an aside, that 2006 Dali Calendar really fucked me up. It didn't go SMTWTFS. It went MTWTFSS. So I never really knew what day it was at a glance. Typical. Also appropriate.
OK, I gotta get a work wall calendar soon or I'm liable to get really confused...
Or... - The Queen - 01-08-2007
... you could just print one out. You probably have at least one software product that would let you do that, or could download a freeware program that would give you that capability. With none of those annoying pictures to distract you from working.
TQ - you were asking how to turn up the heat? - Drunk Monk - 01-08-2007

Woulda got that calendar but it didn't have moon phases. Must have moon phases...
Brain Gone! - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 01-08-2007
You said Everlast, I thought Everquest. Why would the DM want to put up a calendar of elves on his wall?
You do need a bigger budget for Hot Models. Kelly Hu would be a good start.
