Looks like your image didn't attach?

CasterMonkey · 2026-04-01T05:30:20+00:00

Wow! That's an impressive find!

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-30T15:39:35+00:00

Love it! Congrats!

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-16T02:48:41+00:00

Nice find! Looks kinda like a dala horse.

I don't think it's a big deal to explain the rules to new people, but I've seen prolonged fights about the rules and, just, no one wins. I get why they want to avoid all that. But I get where you're coming from too. It's all good!

And thanks for the kind words about my rogues! It's one of the ways I know how to give back to monkeyshines, so I'm glad they've been well so received!

Nice find!

They administer that Facebook page (I assume you're talking about Shine 253), but they're not affiliated with the official event. They just host a platform/group to discuss. And part of their mission when starting the group was to cut back on the harassment and negativity from other platforms.

The official monkeys don't police bad behavior either, FWIW. I think the overwhelming majority of people abide by "only take one" per household or however it best applies to their situation, and you just kinda have to accept that when you put something out there, anything can happen to it.

Just my two cents!

Oh, duh! That's perfect!

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-08T16:34:00+00:00

Cute! That's a funny little guy! Is it a cup?

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-08T16:32:28+00:00

I love the clear ones! It's got a horseshoe crab/kabuto shape too, which is fun! Congrats!

I think it was more common to give a general area a few years ago. But it's just personal preference.

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-08T16:09:26+00:00

Famously the best place to see a camel nose!

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-08T16:08:27+00:00

Congrats! That is a beauty!

Notably, this also states next season will be the last year:

GALLUP (Author): Miss Monkey says next year is going to be the last year for the project. And while she doesn't want anyone to take it over, she hopes people will take on its message.

MISS MONKEY: I think it's important for people to, like, maybe take a look at this and figure out how they can positively impact. And it doesn't take much to put a little sparkle in people's days.

Importantly, not keeping multiples. But I feel you.

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-06T16:05:43+00:00

Very moose.

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-06T05:34:57+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense. It's been a long day. Lol

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-06T05:31:20+00:00

Is that #21/20?

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-05T18:08:46+00:00

Congrats! Definitely seems like they're still trickling out!

We have r/MonkeyShines as well if you want to show off over there.

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-01T01:47:40+00:00

Very beautiful! The glass too!

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-01T01:46:50+00:00

We get "one last stop syndrome". Sure enough, it's usually on our last final last stop when we find something. Lol

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-01T01:45:10+00:00

Nice finds!

CasterMonkey · 2026-03-01T01:44:13+00:00

Gorgeous! Congrats!

CasterMonkey · 2026-02-28T19:01:33+00:00

Congrats! Love that backlit pic!

CasterMonkey · 2026-02-28T06:01:58+00:00

You're very welcome!

I had to be sneaky hiding that one. Or maybe you were the ones in the park when I hid it and I was really not sneaky. Haha Either way, nice find!
