Commentary from Artie

WV Sock Monkey has been holding a membership drive for the West Virginia Sock Monkey Association. With all due respect, he seems to be handing out the title of "Honorary Sock Monkey" rather blithely these days. First, he bestowed the title on Mr. Phil Kabler of the Charleston Gazette, which was fine. Now, however, he is seeking the title for Stella, a dog living in is household. Stella may be a very fine dog and quite convivial, but as most sock monkeys know, dogs can be a little rough on sock monkeys. A sock monkey friend of mine, Guido, was torn from limb to limb by a canine who mistook him for a dog toy. It was a very frightening incident.

I would like to suggest that Stella begin by joining the Friends of Sock Monkeys. Should she prove herself convivial enough, we can vote on the honorary title later.
