Really.  You don’t want to know.

Rear Exit No.2

“Daddy!  Daddy!  Were you watching?  I’m an elephant poop!  Watch me! I’m gonna be a BIG elephant poop!  Watch me!”

Climbing up into its butt and being elephant vomit just can’t be nearly as much fun.

Elephant Hides

Forget painting their toenails red to hide in cherry trees. That is SO old school.

(Pssst… don’t tell her… pass it on.)

J. V. Lafferty’s Contribution to the World

If you lived here, you wouldn’t need to keep your old trunk in the attic. From Wikipedia:

James Vincent de Paul Lafferty, Jr. (1856-1898) was an Irish-American inventor, most famous for his construction of Lucy the Elephant. Born to Irish parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he received Patent Number 268503, on December 5, 1882 to protect his original invention, as well as any animal-shaped building. Broke by 1887, he was forced to sell her and in 1898, he died, and is buried in the cemetery of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Philadelphia.

This architectural gem was built, still stands, and is protected as an historical something or other. [You can see Lucy in all her glory in this previous post.]

Who says elephants can’t jump. (Don’t bother turning up the sound… just watch it and you’ll hear it, especially if you already have a headache from too many Mondays this week.)

[Standing rules: As with all .gif’s posted here, the original sources have been misplaced, even though I looked behind the couch to find them. Post a comment with the verifiable source(s) and we’ll credit them. –Bunk]

Because I like that one a lot, here’s a bonus.
