e often get asked the question "what the heck does 'Monkey in a Dryer' mean?". The general answer we give is: "it's a long story". This will usually satisfy people (or at least they don't want to push the question any further).   Though the name is pretty humorous, the origin isn't really all that funny. Thus the reason we don't usually get into the details of the name or it's meaning... but since you HAVE to know, here it is... the "long story"....   Way back whenever... several years ago... DCB and Mr. Frothy were talking. Frothy was observing how DCB's life was a constant fight between people pulling him this way and that... everyone wanting him to do stuff for them, but they never returned the favor back to him. He was (and still is) always busy. Doing this or that for everyone else and never getting a moment to himself.   Frothy recalled an experiment he heard of (though he can't confirm if this is a true story or something he made up in his mind)... well anyway - in the experiment he 'heard' about - these scientists would take a monkey and put it into a tumbling mechanism that would continually rotate the monkey - around and around again. The monkey was not allowed to sleep, or eat or just get a moments rest at all. The monkey eventually went insane and died. It seemed to parallel DCB's life quite a bit. (excpet for the dying part). Frothy said to DCB - "YOU are that Monkey". Somewhere in that conversation, the tumbler was referred to as a dryer. Thus Monkey in a Dryer came to be.   DCB liked the name very much and quickly registered the URL. He used the domain as a homepage for all his miscellaneous personal sites. Over the years he has gotten a lot of compliments about the name. One ad agency out east even wanted him to make tshirts with the name and logo on it (before he was even making tshirts). He didn't understand the enthusiasm people had for the name - but decided not to question it and eventually adopted it as the official name of his t-shirt business.   So there it is - DCB is a Monkey in a Dryer. If anyone knows if this experiment was real - feel free to let us know - or maybe it's best if we didn't know for sure.
