I've been using Lasermonks for years and years. Good prices on toner and even the porn I print out feels disgustingly wholesome.

When I read "lasermonks" I had this image of monks playing laser tag. That would be pretty cool. I might join a monastery if they play laser tag.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have monks with frickin' laserprinter cartridges in their catalog.

I was thinking of monks with lightsabers.

/those are called jedis, I believe

"No sir. That's not a defect in a badly remanufactured and drilled/filled toner cartridge. First, print an all-black page... ok, good. Got it? Yeah, see what I'm talking about? No... look harder. Mmm hmm. See it now? Yeah... that's right. it's Jesus. Thanks for calling, have a good day."

I first tought they were talking about monkeys shooting with lasers but then I saw they ment monks.

/still monks shooting lasers would be cool

Whatever you get on ebay for that will more than make up for the cost of monklasers.

They should change their name to monksabers.

Alright, so I was the only one thinking of the bad SNL skit, "Laser Cats"

DUE TO A NUCLEAR WAR, RADIATION CAUSED MONKS TO SHOOT LASERS OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS.

Saturnalia: DUE TO A NUCLEAR WAR, RADIATION CAUSED MONKS TO SHOOT LASERS OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS.

Spreading the Word and destroying zombies at the same time.

came for the laser cats reference.

/wasn't disappointed
//captain spaceship

Anyone else think of Monks with freakin' "lay sirs" on their freakin' heads?

I went to an all you can eat fish and chips buffet at the local monastery recently. It was hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had. I went to the kitchen to give praise for the fine meal.

I said to the robed bald cook, "Thank you sir, I really enjoyed the perfectly cooked and delicately seasoned potatoes" and he said..

Wait for it..

"Well thank you for the kind words, but I am only the Fish Fryer, brother Tim over there is the Chip Monk."

/Ta-da

Lazar Wolf approves.

The only problem is that some of them have bad dreams.

TFA: They even have a workout room, where McCoy watches James Bond movies while exercising.

Add kung fu lessons, and this may be the coolest monastery EVER.

/on the other hand, bond girls are hazardous to one's vow of chastity

FYI, I've had two inkjet printers die right after switching to Lasermonk ink cartridges. Coulda been coincidence, but now I'm back to rendering unto HP what is HP's...

"Life couldn't be more apart from the world in Sparta -- a quiet, wooded region known for its bicycle trails. The monks live just a few miles from Fort McCoy, a military base that trains more than 100,000 troops a year."

Area military connection, Sparta... too easy, this just writes itself.

/wonders if this is an ascetic monastary, or if the monks enjoy persian rugs...

Son of Thunder: /on the other hand, bond girls are hazardous to one's vow of chastity

Pray harder.

/Or fap harder if you're not a monk

You don't see people named Hildegard anymore.
/luckily

Frankly, I imagined a Lasermonk being some sort of WH40K unit.

Saturnalia: DUE TO A NUCLEAR WAR, RADIATION CAUSED MONKS TO SHOOT LASERS OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS.

The word of God takes on a whole new meaning.

/SHOOOOOOOOOOP DA WOOOOOOOOOP

Son of Thunder: The only problem is that some of them have bad dreams.

May the Great Maker bless you for that reference.

Not a huge fan of religion, but I have a total soft-spot for religious communities that make food. Give me jam and flavored honey and I'm happy.

(Hell, I'll even take that wacky religious bread they sell at the health food store, and let's throw some Dr Bronner's in while we're at it.)

cobaltnine: Not a huge fan of religion, but I have a total soft-spot for religious communities that make food.

I'm not a big personal fan of religion, but if it works for someone else, great. If a group of those someone elses band together and provide a discount service I need and spend their profits on things I approve of, I'm more than happy to spend my money there.

And, let's face it, Lasermonks is a kick ass name.

This is blasphemy. Monks should stick to brewing beer, as God intended.

They have Trappist brandy fruitcake! Sweet!

I'm just picturing the monks from the Cadfael series on PBS running a business:

Prior Robert: Yes, laser toner provides the penitent with greater efficiency and a higher-quality page. But you cannot ignore, Brother, that the frequent purchase of inkjet cartridges brings more money to the Lord!

Brother Cadfael: Are penitents to be harvested, then? Surely the Lord does not wish us to foist overpriced ink on parishioners. And have you not seen that video of the waste-ink receptacles on YouTube, Brother Prior?

Abbot Radulfus: I agree with Brother Cadfael, however, there being so many parishioners who are not blessed with a laser printer, I think we shall continue to offer Prior Robert's cartridges to the penitent -albeit at a sharp discount, to ease the burden of the poor as our Lord requires. Now, tell me more about this moisturizer the brothers in the herbarium have cooked up...

/that would be SO awesome!
//PBS, do this. It beats pledge breaks!

when i read "lasermonks," i envisioned something much, much cooler

:(

Monks with freaking laserbeams on their heads!

nucrash: Alright, so I was the only one thinking of the bad SNL skit, "Laser Cats"
No, I was thinking more like Laserproof Monk

This is cool. I work in a call center for a wholesaler that supplies them with their office supplies & some of their toner. A lady there told me their whole story while placing a supply order with me. She told me about the whole setup and I was a little blown away, especially when I heard their Gregorian chant hold music...
