the waiters at Belgos are dressed as monks and they are FINE!! i fancied the habits off all of them when i went there, then felt vaguely naughty and sacreligious for doing so. but then i figured, they're not real monks, only sexy waiters in habits. mmmmm!

I'd quite like to be a monk. I hadn't really thought about it since this thread. How does one go about joining a monastery

as IF you would be a monk. you'd be good at the scholarly stuff but you like GURLS too much!

I have never met one, but I believe Monks are very kind,mild and very tollerant as well as helpful.

The Orthodox monks of New Skete are such insightful dog trainers that it makes me wonder if they sleep in a big heap on the floor of an upstate barn. They also make a mighty fine cheesecake.

Isn't the disgusting intoxicant called "Buckfast," beloved by vagrants all over Britain, also made by monks? Evidently, for every monk hawking a delicious lambic there's one brewing a nauseating fortified wine.

You know, besides all the beer and the bread, they are also good at being alone, being very quiet, being clean, being polite, and having weird haircuts and inspiring bands such as The Monks and Monks of Doom.

Depending on the sort of monk a fellow is, he can be skilled at meditating and teaching meditation. Some are said to have the ability to kick ass in order to defend their monostary. Some are said to have the ability to die on command, immediately torching themselves or falling upon another's blade. Still, others take vows of celibacy, paddle each others asses red and take on strange turn-ons such as torture and masturbation behind walls which have paintings on them whose figures have the eyes cut out, from which the monks may peer out from behind the wall to observe anyone in the room, while simultaneously masturbating. Aside from masturbating in secret chambers, they might masturbate while peering out from behind some bushes or from behind a curtain.

Some monks are said to be able to levitate themselves and other objects (big stones, for instance), but this has been unprovable so far.
