Every now and then, a story comes along that warms our hearts! Or does it??

Dagnabbit, I forget to change one of the "Peter's" to Steve! lol. Maybe it WAS the same elephant, yes. He was having a bad day I suppose, or had just had an argument with his Missus..... Maybe it was the very removal of the wood in his foot that led to his capture and subsequent placement in the London Zoo? I guess we'll never know! Steve sure as heck ain't talking!

Oooooh, I forgot to change TWO Peter references! DAGNABBIT!

My mistake James.

Ok Steve Alais Peter..

What was he expecting really? the elephant to pick him and put it on it's back.

He sure ain't talking? Maybe the elephant will...

It's actually MY mistake mate, 'cos I wasn't consistent with the same name throughout! I think Steve/Peter would've expected a HUG at least! lol. The elephant's apparently not talking either and is being quite stubborn.

Ooooh, congrats! You've made it back into the Top 10 for Panda Spanking now too my friend! About bloody time I say and long overdue! lol.

The elephant giving a hug to the Steve.

Steve would still not be talking...

And the no10.Thanks...it keeps fluctuating around James from 10- 12..Not spanking enough i guess.

Ah but they are nothing but numbers..... It's no secret that you are one of the most dedicated panda spankers of them all! I'm heading out for a few hours to do some shopping etc, so may the rest of your day be spankerrific! I'll call the hospital when I get back and check if Steve's out of his coma yet too.....

Ahh Haa! Now you know why Steve got slammed into the fence! It was really Peter that pulled the piece of wood out of the elephants foot and Steve was taking credit for it. The elephant knew better and smacked Steve for his audacity!

Smartass! lol. Yep, I didn't edit my discussion wording properly and how fortunate for me to have reminders such as these! But your story angle may just have some merit! lol.

I've heard a similar story myself and the elephant was passing the man during a parade! lol. I say good for the elephant and they've always said they have long memories! Personally I quite like it when endings are not like what we expect them to be. You know, man spends whole life wanting to be with a woman, decades go by and they finally meet up and realize they were always meant to be together..... They start to plan their remaining years as one..... And then an out of control passenger jet falls from the sky and crushes them both! Now THAT'S an unpredictable ending and we need more of 'em!

Reel 'em in with the slightest hope of a happy ending and then DASH those expectations across the rocks I reckon! At least it's something different for a change! WHat did everyone expect anyways? That the elephant and SSteve would end up embracing lovingly and then skip off into the sunset together??? I like the ending I've got MUCH better! lol.

Then I guess, you wouldn't watch the Twilight movie...eh?

I've seen it 4 times and have it here on DVD! I have the first three books of the series here too..... I'm yet to read the books, but my Wife has already. The story's not ended yet, but hopefully the conclusion won't be too predictable.

This is exactly what this story stemmed from! lol. I can't stand those damn chain emails with their messages of hope and "change your life by reading this story" crap! And then they go and tell you you're gonna DIE if you don't forward it to 6,787 people within 43 seconds! WTF is up with that? By these indications, I should have died some 45 times by now.....

Yup, I know...gonna miss ya James..

And here, now I feel almost a little guilty for being down on good. Wonder why that is?
I wonder if I am about to do the goth thing next? Maybe get a stud or two, tattoo my butt, join a cult and just revolt but for the pure and simple sake of it, next..

just as an fyi..

those chain letters usually have stick-like-glue bugs, cookies, spyware and at the very least, email address sharing crapware attached to them. I avoid them like the plaque. My friends think I'm getting old and stuffy and grumpy. Yet, guess who they ask for help if they have a new PC glitch, that they didn't have last week?
Ah well, where's the violin, I gotta broken record to make..

Nah, don't be TOO concerned. I only just bit the head off a live chicken this morning and I feel great! Next I'm gonna get "Love" and "Hate" tattooed on my knuckles and my left knee pierced! The gothic black eye shadow, ripped fishnets and jet black hair with the windswept/electrocuted look'll have to wait for now..... I say go for it yourself though, as it's VERY liberating!

Thanks for the heads-up about the chain mail trapdoors etc too. I avoid them like the plague also, so hopefully I'm safe so far!

Tattoo yir butt?.....;shakes head; I ain't saying nothing! heee

Well if it isn't young Irish! It seems eons since I had the pleasure of your presence! Butt tattoo's all round I say!

lmbo...oh...uhm....laughing something ELSE off then.......hee

Maybe we can tattoo "LMBO" on yer butt then?

You think you can catch me you go ahead and try it...I'd advise you NOT to pin my legs though.....just sayin.............

I got a big ol LoneStar picked out for YOU Jimmyboy! hee

I know about the legs pinning phobia, so don't you worry about that one! I was thinkin' of getting a "W" tattooed on each butt cheek so thaqt when I bent over, I could spell WOW! By the way, the Lonestar on a butt is as good a place as any!

Ok..that...visual....that was just nasty! eeeewwwww......

I did my best!

THAT was your best?{{shudder}}

It was my best in relation to that particular "vision creation" moment, sure! lol. This site won't allow me to express myself in a manner that I'd consider to be my best stuff overall unfortunately!

Somehow...I'm relieved! heee

Oh I can imagine!

pppffttttt! Do you feel stifled doll?

You have NO idea! lol. My own sense of humour is crass at best and it's just not allowable here. And of course, you ARE a lady, so I'd never subject you to such nonsense.

I like you just the way you are, fine enough. LOL!

My own sense of humour is crass at best


Heehee! Not sure what that makes my sense of humor, since I find myself laughing at your stuff all the time.

But you get the toned down version of my humour here Diddly! I'd still consider you to be just as twisted as I am though! lol.

one good instance of twists in the movie 'Identity'

E.T? Are we talkin' the alien here or that entertainmebt gossip TV show? Or don't tell me there's now a creature from outer space hosting a TV gossip show???

lmao

e.t - extensive text, sorry lol

Well there you go! All I needed was another form of "E.T" Saying you were allergic to "crapping on" would have been far more understandable. lol.

You had a Tom and Jerry book where Tom actually CAUGHT the mouse??? I thought that was a myth! I've been waiting my whole life to see Tom actually EAT Jerry, but alas, I don't think this scenario will ever present itself. Give me an unpredictable ending any day of the week! I realize that certain formula's get bums on seats, but it's a nice change to be caught unawares once in a while. And no, it's not a true story. It's mostly made up. In the real account, the man escaped and then returned and shot the elephant. The elephant's foot is now used as his umbrella stand!

Nah, he didn't eat him. He suffered a fate worse than that by being put into that empty jar with the cork inside. Nothing to eat or drink, so when he goes berzerk with hunger he will push out the cork and BAM!.. Pretty harsh story .

I remember Tom wanting to read a book in silence and Jerry and that little grey baby mouse would tease him all along. So actually Tom is the good guy, he doesn't hurt the mouses he just wants quiet and locks them up. If it weren't for the gun it would be a very educational story! LOL!

So after all these years I now realize that Tom was not a menace at all and was only misunderstood. Well I never! Jerry starving to death in a jar could've been an interesting storyline.

I KNEW there'd be an alternative side to all of this! As per usual there's always three sides to the story. The man's recollection, the elephants perspective; and the TRUTH. Damn elephants and their convoluted methods. They can't even JUMP! Can you believe that??? Never trust an animal that can't jump. As for the man, well he's probably sitting pretty on the money earned from selling the story for all these years and I bet he's flogged the movie rights too. It's a shame Marlon Brando's passed on as he could've played the elephant. (He did beef up in his later years!)

But fleas can jump higher than a double decker bus! Now what earthly use is that unless you are fare dodging?

Well, when you consider what elese fleas have to do in order to survive, I guess they had to have SOME extra-special traits to compensate? It's kind of like God said "Fleas..... You spend your life sucking blood from a dog's butt, so here, I shall make you able to jump like no other!" Ain't life funny like that!

Hmmm. So if I suck Rover I'll get to jump that high eh? You are a clever man James. They'll build you your very own pyramid you know. I'm having one built in Switzerland out of Toblerone chocolate.

You are? Bravo! I do strongly advise you to keep me the heck away from that pyramid though. Given the way I feel about Toblerone chocolate, it'll be the shortest lived Swiss pyramid in history! Oh and if you DO attempt the dog butt sucking/higher jumping theory, please be sure to video tape the event as ot's important to document this for the sake of our future generations. The "National Enquirer" will probably pay a pretty penny for it as well. You can use the proceeds for Beluga! (And for fortifying the Swiss Toblerone Pyramid, 'cos I AM gonna get to it eventually!)

Well you will have to break through the box and silver foil first. I know. We have a Valee des Pyramids de Toblerone. That way you get your own. By the way. Rover says "come near me with those gnashers and it's more than jumping you'll do". That darn dog thinks he owns the place. [No you don't. Don't Don't Don't Don't.... Ok. But I'm not sleepng in that basket again]

AND he can lick himself! Talk about living the dream! Anyways, you can always distract him by letting him hang his head out the window of the car. His butt will be well within reach and he'll be too caught up with the sheer ecstacy of the wind in his face to really notice I think. Either that, or give him a second set of balls to lick. Both of these approachs should give you the access you need with little or no serious repurcussions. Please send me photo's of this Pyramid as soon as you're able.

I've spoken to Kraft and they have suggested the photo below as a good layout. It's not too big a picture, but I'm sure that you get the idea.

Why thank you Mr Pike! It deserves the same title as bestowed upon you during bonfire moments..... MAGNIFICENT!

The 80's were full of excitement all round mykl. Especially when it came to fashion! lol. Good first day back at work Sir?

;snickers;

You have Snickers??? Share the chocolate, Irish!

;hands it all over; I'm off of it for a bit anyway. LOL!

;hands jimmyboy a glass of milk;

Good second day at work...especially since Boss pays cash and pays every Friday!

Ohhh..I just sent you a suprise...I hope you don't mind and you like it! I'm nervous. LOL!

2nd day? Oh, my bad! I thought it was the first..... And payday already? Cool!

So who got a surprise then Irish? Me or Mykl?

Mykly..I couldn't get the one for you to word right.

Jeez.... Mykl gets ALL the treats! lol.

Welll..see...he sings stuff I know. LOL!

But I don't even KNOW any songs about cattle??? I'd sing 'em for ya if I did!

Mykly I think he just insulted us!

Don't be stirrin' up trouble now Irish. Mykl doesn't sing about cattle..... He sings about SQUIRRELS!

And you...you sing about...what elephants?

Yep, that's it! EVERY song I've done so far has the word "elephant" in it if ya listen hard enough! Even Wicked Game.....

Yippers..just as all MINE mention CATTLE!

See! We can always gain an ultimate understanding of each other if we just make the effort!

Good Lord Irish! The last thing I ever wished to do was make you chuckle! oh ewell, what's done is done..... It's my own Mother that sends me a majority of the chain mail I get and it drives me absolutely insane. I've tried to tell her that she's on the verge of causing my death because I DON'T forward them like I'm supposed to, but she just doesn't listen. I wonder if she's up to something?

If she's like my mom she's just unaware that those same letters have been circulating for about 15 yrs. LOL! She thinks she's the first one ever to see it.

Maybe your Mum and my Mum should swap email addresses!

;nods; groovy!

Well, I must not have minded because I haven't deleted you from my friends list...

Ohh..you charmer you! LOL!

Wow! If this isn't proof of an elephant having a good memory, then I don't know what is! I have my own memories of feeding an apple to an elephant when I was just a toddler and all of 3 or 4 years old. My Mother used to recount the story of the elephant's trunk coming over the wall of it's enclosure and grabbing the apple that I was holding. The funny part of it all is that I apparently refused to let go of the apple at first!

I've always loved elephants also and I remember being at Perth Zoo as a child and being very distraught at the enclosure for the elephant they had there. The poor thing was in an enclosure made entirely of concrete and had one leg chained to a large concrete block in the centre of the enclosure. It was very depressing to see, but thankfully this was in the laye 70's/early 80's and the Zoo has long since upgraded it's environments into far more adequate settings.

In your own instance, it does sound very lucky for you that there were bars in the way of the stick! No wonder the elephant was pissed off! For all you know, Kathy had been waiting patiently for all those years for the lady to come back with the peanuts and fruit, Then all of a sudden, here was thqat very lady, but she was peanut and fruitless! lol. How sad thet the poor thing died from a viral infection. From my basic understanding of elephants, 42 is quite young for an elephant. Thanks for sharing this story with me.
