This is an ode to the missing six.

Oh please don't forget the missing six,
We shed a tear, like when dry heaving while sick.

You will be remembered for eternity,
Like the broken condom that let to maternity.

Your spirit lives on in the hearts of man,
Too bad your brains are now mixed with the sand.

I'm feeling the imminent end of this rhyme,
Please don't haunt the two til the end of time.

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.
- Robert X. Cringely

Is there any crew flight audio? I know what they would have said about the ride:

Ahh AHH! Ahh AHH! Ahh AHH!!!

You rock, Bdale.

I can only hope that one day my woot monkeys will be as heroic and make me that proud.

Some Jokes:

How did they know Monkey #4 had blue eyes?

One blew this way and the other blew that way.

--

Why did the space rocket blow up?

They let Monkey #2 Drive.

--

How did they know Monkey #5 had dandruff?

They found his head and shoulders on the ground.

--

Why didn't the monkeys scream when the rocket blew up?

In space, no one can hear you scream.

--

What was Monkey #1's last words?

"What's this button do?"

Someone should launch a Leak Frog next!

No more rhyming now, I mean it.

Next Woot Project:

Convince NASA to put a payload of at least 12 Screaming Monkeys aboard a space shuttle headed for the ISS. Astronauts/Cosmonauts need Screaming Monkeys and Bags of Carrots too.

I bet if you try to launch a screaming monkey in zero gravity, it stays where it is and you go flying backward.

RIP The Woot 6. We will forever sound off with a heartfelt woot in their honor!!!

Last month, I realized my 10 yr old daughter had never watched that movie. I was astonished. She's never seen Holy Grail either. My daughter has been neglected!!!

I ordered both movies on DVD now, though. All shall be rectified soon Now she'll understand why I giggle and say "Bring out yer dead!" and talk about the killer bunny with the sharp teeth.

As per your tweet...

You should give some to "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" http://www.youtube.com/user/JPizzle1122

So, the monkeys will fly. . . but will they BLEND?

But if you launch "12 Screaming Monkeys", you'll go back in time in a failed attempt to prevent Global Zombie Holocaust.

I think we should pursue alternative means of Woot! Monkey space flight. I'm think the rubberband catapult needs a shot, a la Hedgehog Launch.

What about launching a monkey from one of those hotdog/tshirt launchers from sporting events.

If I had any screaming monkeys, I could take them for a spin on the Zamboni at the rink....that's pretty wild, eh?

Alas Woot monkeys
You have bravely touched the sky
And also our hearts

In your fond mem'ry
My Woot-Off lights spin for you
Well, one of them does

We'll never forget
Your shrill shrieks as you perished
Remember Woot Six!

I know you guys do all of your own music, so is there any way I could get this song? I'm an Air Force vet and I've had this alias for years now. I might even be able to talk my gf into letting me buy something. That and I REALLY WANT THE AIR FORCE THEME ON KAZOO. It would be a great counter to all of those crappy songs people play on their myspace pages.
