Monty by Jim Meddick for December 01, 2020

I’ve read that there are a lot of people migrating out of the big cities and buying up country property, to the annoyance of those already there. :P

They’ll have a hard time fixing or replacing their glasses.

Monty’s last name has suddenly become Python. Anyone else remember this sketch?

Wait a minute…I have a 55 year old brain cell flopping around like a pike on the bottom of a boat…was this a Python skit?

Have you had your HOA interview yet, Monty?

Monty looks much more studly with that beard.

No phone, no lights, no motor carnot a single luxurylike Robinson Crusoe,it’s primitive as can be.

Something tells me we’re into something good. This is a fun arc. Now I realize why I subconsciously picked my Herman’s Hermits Greatest Hits CD to listen to yesterday while on my treadmill.

Hermits I hate Hermits I’d rather Have Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Is that Neil DeGrasse Tyson?

Living in the wild leaves little time for peaceful contemplation. The search for food (and shelter) consumes ALL your time. Only the hermits with an epiphany AND luck make it back.

Apparently there’s a store near Cheesequake, NJ where they sell hermit sticks with little branch stubs at the top, which is how you know which end is up.

E.B. didn’t come with him. Must’ve got the E.B. Jeebies.

I would prefer a tropical island, like Gilligan’s.

And the next cave will be occupied too, by a bear.

Those don’t look like caves; they look like dolmens to me (artificial constucts, used for burials). But be that as it may, the surfeit of hermits is a problem Monty needs to avoid. Go deeper into the woods, lad!
