Damn Gary your the psychologist figure it out

Obviously Monkeyman is somewhere in that long list and he wants acknowledgement. The irony being he can't openly admit which one he is.

I'm sure you can imagine his frustration.

Some people think being first is a big deal, like virginity or something. What they do not realize that just because you came first doesn't mean you'll necessarily have a long term impact or even be remembered.

For guys like me this is all no big deal. I know I'm not the real deal, or some kind of major figure in kayaking. I mean I love kayaking but it's just one of many things I like to do, and you and I just come here for fun.

For others Kayaking is their one big deal, their five minutes fame, and they have to maintain their delusions of importance and control. Monkeyboy is dead serious here even though we are joking around. He wants to be seen as the real deal even if he never contributes anything real at all.
