Saw this on my way to work... it made my day

Is the white chick single?

Seriously I think this thread should become posting real World locations and places with Monkey Island names and visual themes incorporated into them. I wish I had a picture of the Murray City but I don't. I drove through it once, would have been nice for this thread.

You continue to be a rather strange person, but I really like your second idea... can the title of a thread be changed?

There is actually a Monkey Island Hotel
http://monkeyisland.co.uk/

I wander if they have a special name for the mini-bar there ....

So anyway there IS a real Monkey Island and it is here.

AWESOME! Thanks for sharing. Too bad there aren't that many places like it, I guess.

Brilliant! Simply awesome! This world we live in CAN be a cool place to be...

There's also a town melee island is based on.. Just remember a news post about it, and looking at pictures. Don't remember what it was called though.

I've been there. The burgers are pretty good.

Oh btw is the white chick single?

Epic Kiwi · 09/14/2009, 03:21 pm

That fish & burger bar can't belong to the real Stan, since this clearly takes place in between Monkey Island 2 and 3, when Stan was trapped inside a coffin. Sorry, this doesn't hold up.

To this post and the above.

I hope that it's not previously owned fish and burgers...

I made a similar thread a while ago I'll just move to here what's relevant.

And then all of a sudden they return.
Sounds almost like a plot for one of the new Monkey island chapters, huh?
Anyway when I entered a restaurant, I saw this:

That's the second biggest monkey head I've ever seen in Lopburi!

Beware of the monkeys! They are listening. And they'll eat your finger if you don't watch out.

In the summer it was fun as a kid to take a row boat and explore the little islands... In fact I should do that with my kids sometime soon.

Actually the woman would boat the goats on the Island and they had the thing all to themselves... Unfortunately... or maybe fortunately I dunno the DNR put an end to it many years ago.

Over the weekend.... I was visiting my grandparents for the fourth of July festivities and feeling adventurous and a little nautical because of all this MI madness I talked my brother in law into taking the single sail sail boat out on the water.... The thing is small but you still need two people to get the thing moving.... any way I decided to take a picture of Goat Island that I had mentioned in my earlier posts..... The Island no longer has the goats living on it that gave it its name but it does have a rather large black bear living there and a family of eagles..... I didnt spot the bear this trip but I did get a picture of mamma eagle in the second pic near the top of the tree... I got some of her babies but they are impossible to spot because baby eagles do not have the white heads like the adults do so they blend in with the trees.... She kept an eye on us the whole time. The picture really doesn't do her justice she was huge and this picture makes her look small.

and YAR!!! those be storm clouds and it did rain that day...

These next ones are not to incriminate anyone...

I live in Maidenhead and unfortunately Monkey Island isn't that interesting. But there is or certainly used to be a hairdressers in Windsor called Murray's that had a skull and crossed scissors for it's logo.
