Gather round, gather round. I'd like to tell you all a story, a story about a skeletal primate who won the hearts and hatred of an entire community.
Now some people would say I knew BoneMonkey closer than any other, some say closer than most.
Then there are others still, who would say I knew him not at all and I they would be spot on.
But I digress
I would like to draw to your attention the striking similarities between GBATEMP's controversial first primate, BoneMonkey, and another man in history, who although accepted by many of his own, was also condemned by the very leaders of his community. Followed diligently by some, hated by others, condemned by the community's elders, soon only to rise again, while his "followers" eagerly await his return. BoneMonkey has become biggest martyr since the man we call Jesus.
From an early age it was clear that BoneMonkey was different. Strange, diabolical, and wildly arrogant, many people were scared and intimidated by BoneMonkey's wild and sometimes downright malicious forward thinking. For many a year BoneMonkey tried to suppress his thoughts and views, so as to conform to something that society deemed "Acceptable" or "Normal" but he could only maintain the charade for so long.
One tuesday afternoon, BoneMonkey got into an argument with an elderly man over the state of piracy on the internet while loitering out front of a local pornography shop. Despite BoneMonkey's best efforts, the man refused to accept BoneMonkey's point of view, telling him he was sick, demented and just down right wrong. BoneMonkey then lit the man on fire, using his giant burning fat spattering corpse as a torch to burn down the entire town. That day BoneMonkey, nearly choking on the acrid smoke of that poor town, left to never return.
It was not until many years later that BM as I like to call him, well would have called him, if I ever talked to or about him prior to this post. Anyhow it was not until many years later that he stumbled upon the place called GBATEMP. BoneMonkey quickly began making a name for himself, when he registered under the name BoneMonkey, and shortly after, his fellow tempers began to take a shining to the crazy primate, many found his sense of humour refreshing, others found it revolting but regardless everyone in the community was drawn to this outrageous, up and coming, calcium fortified GBATemper
For many months(I don't know how long exactly, I was too lazy to check) did people connect far and wide to hear to words of BoneMonkey until one day BoneMonkey had gone too far....according to a MOD. This part I am a little hazy on as I don't actually know why he was banned, or for how long, I just happened to stumble upon the link on the main page. HOWEVER! Many, many people were deeply saddened, some were indifferent, and some extremely pleased that BM was out of the GBATEMP picture, but none are sure for how long, or if he will even be back.
ALAS Retain hope! For those of you who enjoyed the musings of BM, when his ban is over I am sure he will rise again, he lurks even this very day, and when he does he will be even more grand, more over the top, even more not MOD friendly, and lead those who liked him into a new GBATEMP era, and drag the rest of you, kicking and screaming int that era whether you like it or not.
And when that happens, we will all be lucky enough to say "I was there, I was there when that wrong was righted, I was there when BoneMonkey saved GBATEMP"
Good Evening.
