Is that a variation on the Purple Elephant Gun?

I thought the elephants were yellow?

Only the white and purple variants.

The purple are easy to cull, but the white need a strong nerve.

You have to sneak up on them, grab them by the trunk and hold on until they turn purple. Then it's easy, if armed with the purple elephant gun!

I'm going to have to remember that when i go shopping...I lost my last purple elephant gun when the sewer erupted...it was flying high in a jet of effluent...and then it was gone.

Chap in the pub sold me a green elephant gun, thought it was cheap!

Need to hold a strobe light in front of the white elephant until it goes green.

Be sure to probe your custard thoroughly!

Edit: That sounds wrong on several levels!

Probe the custard if you suspect the elephants are swimming upside down.

But, despite the camouflage, the bottoms of their feet are round and flat. So, the custard surface will have 4 regular bits looking like floating dinner plates to give the game away.

If there is an upside down elephant in the custard, then the only way to get rid of them is using a deep level custard depth charge. The noise makes the elephant's ears ring, and as they don't like to hear ringing, they clear off.

The yellow elephants only swim in custard they know is shark free, and this applies to all colours of elephant.

But, ones with pink toe nails don't tend to skinny dip in custard ... too thick for fast swimming, and the lumps in the custard hurt when passing them.

Man, busy last 2 weeks since coming back to work. Between going down to Sacramento, working overtime, and going back down to Sacramento next week, I'm beat! Oh well, kids are doing well, I'm still doing well, wife is doing well, can't ask for anything more, well, maybe win the lottery, or hit a huge jackpot at the casinos, but thats wishful thinking. LOL

Dare I ask just how many elephant sandwiches are available?




Yesterday was a maul, I had to go down to Mum's to remove her washing machine, and have a look at removing the gas cooker. Got the washing machine out and into the back of the little car, but decided that removing the gas cooker is going to need a "man who can" as it doesn't appear to be on a self sealing connector :-(
Then went on to see mum in the nursing home, she's looking a lot better now, both physically and emotionally than for a very long time. Wrong time of year to be thinking about selling houses in the tourist area, so the house sale will probably be left for a few months...
Finally drove back up here in the little car. Boy is that thing hard work.

So, here I am sitting at the monitor on another coolish cloudless sunny day without wind.

I think it's time to get dressed and walk the dogs. That should give me an appatite for some Barbie elephant.

Well it was nice and bright, but now its clouded over and there are some high velocity spots of rain flying around.

Why does the first high velocity spot of rain always so accurately target one of my ear canals???

Delivered Mum's old washing machine to its new home - I really love moving washing machines, I really do love moving washing machines - and if I say it often enough I will believe that statement.

Clouds looming here, but still intensively sunny and warming to 9C. Wind now light and no rain, targeted or otherwise.

Dismal and raining in South Central Pennsylvania today...

A nice glass of Pedro Ximenez would warm the cockles nicely right now...

It started out overcast and rainy but looks like it's clearing up. We've got to go downtown to the passport office today so I might take another look at the Occupy Vancouver camp outside the art gallery.

It was fairly compact when I saw it on Monday, but I hear it's getting bigger.

Greetings everyone. How many elephant sandwiches? Well if we all have them for breakfast, lunch, tea and supper there's enough for approximately three maybe four months. Ish.

I don't like moving appliances around myself, moving the settee into my current abode such phrases as "Twist it that way", "Turn it the other way", and of course the ever popular "No, the other left" were uttered quite frequently with an ever increasing amount of profanity. After two hours I was quite tempted to remove the lounge window so I could just throw the bloody thing in.
