With the lack of success with B34n's Cartoon PC thread's ability to get move away from an earlier controversy it made me wonder.
If I posted a thread that said we could discuss anything except elephants, what would be the result.
So here we are. Post something. Post anything. Just don't mention Elephants (not even Pachyderms).

What about republicans?
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
The first thread is immune since you can't deny something without mentioning it.
Republicans are fine to mention, unless you make pointed comparisons to the large grey not-to-be named mammals.
(On a definate tangent, what if Voldemort gained power every time someone said "He-who-must-not-be-named."

What about mammoths?
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
So, elephants can be mentioned, but only in the first post? What's so special about the first post?
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
Oh no, I said it! Oh, I said it again! Ni!

Well, I wrote it. That automatically makes it very special.
Mighty Cow--get me a Shrubbery.
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
So, the rule is that Dan can mention elephants, but nobody else can?
I don't think I like this game.

You know what I don't like? Hot Pockets.

Honestly, I don't really care that much about the Megatron thing, except that the shiny, spiky thing might not really work for the character. They had to make a choice as to whether they were going to try to be as faithful to the original cartoon as possible or whether they were going to present a modified version. A live action/CG mix just isn't going to work with a huge robot turning into a gun. They could have done the cannon or tank thing, but they decided to go in another direction.
I don't think that this automatically screws it up, if what they go with still works in terms of Megatron's character. I'm a little more leery of the Bumblebee thing, but, in final analysis, I'm not that interested in the movie really, so there you go. . . . . . . . . Elephant.

Hey, even Mr. Rogers talks about elephants! There was an elephant on just the other day!
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
I dont think any sports teams feature our unamed animal as a mascot.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Oh, also, elephants are natural. You all must have a lot of hangups to not be able to talk about elephants.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
How could Mr. Rogers talk about that? He is not alive anymore, were you watching a rerun?

It's not the type of animal that would be associated with a sporting event anyway. "Yeah, let's name our team after a big, bulky, slow, two ton animal, OK?"
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
Nighthawk: On the other hand, who's going to manage to tackle one?
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Nighthawk, reminds me of a Bears game I was at a couple years ago. Big bulky defensive tackle somehow ends up with the ball, lumbers downfield.... roughly 90 second play for about 60 yards and I swear the man was hoping someone would come take him down. I was stunned that he got that far, actually, and I think he ended up tripping on his own feet rather than getting stopped by the other team.

Dan_raven... What if he LOST power everyone said his name??!! I know - that doesn't really make much sense but I like the idea better... ; )

That was catagorized as nudity by SmartFilter, Tante. I didn't expect to have to worry about a link from YOU.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
No nudity. Honest. Just a scene from Dumbo. A G-rated Disney movie, for crying out loud.
You've got really tight filters.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Its not that I am biased against the nameless animals. Its that you are all obsessed with them, and can't go a day without posting about them.

Oh, and they are indeed nude. But it's not HUMAN nudity!

Um, yeah, here, they're mascots of a LOT of teams.
They even regularly ride in parades, wearing ribbons and sporting paint and all sorts of things.
(Fahim's singing. Please, someone, put me out of my misery...)
And they have the smelliest dung of the entire animal kingdom. Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :

H.J.
And last week there was a whole week of make-believe about elephants. You know, with the song:
"You can tell at once We are elephants We are elephants all day long."

Oh, man. Hot Pockets are so good I can literally (by which of, course, I mean figuratively) feel my arteries constrict. Only 74 away from heart asplode.
Death Pockets! Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
I'll bet you could make a ton of money selling something called Death Pockets, if you marketed them to the X-treme crowd.
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
I think we should stop all this secrecy and subterfuge and just be honest and straightforward about Elephants.
Elephants, elephants, elephants. They're big, they're gray, they're cute in an ugly sort of way. They grab things with their noses. They're smarter than most folks supposes.
There! Isn't that a relief? The truth will set you free!

Anyone ever read 'Nobody Knows I Have Delicate Toes' when they were young? It was one of my FAVORITES. My Mom still has at least parts of it memorized.
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
I just ordered a Hot Pocket in a restaurant. It did NOT come with the side of Metamucil that I ordered.
Let me tell you how sad I am right now Posted by cmc (Member # 9549) on :
Hot pockets have a new product out - calzones.
Posted by Palliard (Member # 8109) on :
I do not understand this fascination with Hot Pockets. To me they appear to be sub-standard piroshkis.
Posted by cmc (Member # 9549) on :
I'm actually not a fan - but where I work (home office of a warehouse club) exposes me to all the new products that come out... I was just throwin' it out there. ; )
Posted by B34N (Member # 9597) on :
So what do you ahve against elephants? I like elephants. Dumbo was an elephant and everybody likes dumbo! Why do you have to pick on elephants! There mammals too, you know. I mean seriously why elephants, you could single out "Spicy Mustard" I think this thread would be better if it were made so that you couldn't talk about "Spicy Mustard" and why oh why is it my thread that keeps getting picked on? Geez, you'd think I was some horrible person, well I am, so there!
Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :
You can order Hot Pockets at a restaurant?!?
And, face it, Dumbo was a freak of nature. Plus, he hallucinates and has the strong inclination to jump off tall things. What kind of role model is that?
Posted by B34N (Member # 9597) on :
Hmmm, I see you point. Stil think you should make the thread not about "Spicy Mustard" though.
