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."

So, elephants can be mentioned, but only in the first post? What's so special about the first post?

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.

Oh, also, elephants are natural. You all must have a lot of hangups to not be able to talk about elephants.

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?"

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.

That was catagorized as nudity by SmartFilter, Tante. I didn't expect to have to worry about a link from YOU.

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, 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.

I'll bet you could make a ton of money selling something called Death Pockets, if you marketed them to the X-treme crowd.

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.

I do not understand this fascination with Hot Pockets. To me they appear to be sub-standard piroshkis.

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. ; )

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!
