BlackSpark.nl

Welcome to the monkey house!

This is the home of Black Spark (BS), tribe-leader of the BSilly Drunk Monkey arMY.

BSilly monkeys are very cute little monkeys who browse the net and the real world in their infinite beer-searching quest. They are very naughty and play tricks almost 24/7, but they mean no harm. They can get carried away after a few kegs, though.

They are also there for you when you need help or comfort. People with a fridge full of beer get higher priority, for obvious reasons. Hee hee hee!
