Elephun Wednesday

I'm glad that the Magic Kingdom is taking safety seriously and not just letting every freak with huge ears fly around.  I mean, that would just be chaos. 

Happy Valentine's Day!  We will not think about the origins of this dubious holiday.  Instead we will look at this adorable elephant and think thoughts of love.

I have no idea why this exists.  Although I have to admit that I am glad it does.  I also have to admit that the bill, which looks like big lips to me, freaks me out a little bit. 

A Parade of Elephants Review

A Parade of Elephants by Kevin Henkes


The title pretty much says it all. Five very colorful elephants parade around.


The illustrations are very cute.  And I like the bold colors.  It makes the book eye-catching and fun to look at.  The fact that the font is also big and bold and there are only a few words on each page make it easier for children to follow along and associate the way a word looks with the way it sounds.  And I have to admit I was surprised to find out that right before elephants go to sleep they blow stars out of their trunks all over the night sky.  I guess it's true, you learn something new every day.

Let's celebrate!  These guys must be Patriot fans.  Sorry rest of the planet but the Patriots win again.  And everyone in New England is going to make a lot of noise about it.  And get drunk, and start fights and...

Yet Another Place Way Better Than Wichit

So Bee Hee suggested that we try Figaro's for lunch.  I wasn't going to be able to be there but that's how the cookie crumbles.  I bet I had more fun doing what I was doing than the other Monkeys had eating sandwiches.  The problem was that no one even thought about taking pictures for me.  They all told me how great everything I missed was, but did they think about my blog and the post I was supposed to make for a new food place?  No.  So this is a second trip to Figaro's.

A variety of things were tried.  A couple of the steak and cheese sandwiches, a couple of the chicken sandwiches, and the meatball too.  Everyone agreed that they were all good sandwiches.  (I really liked the chipotle mayo on my Two-Timer.)  And my sandwich weighed in at a little over a pound.  It was very filling. 

 

It does not look like you can customize anything.  I mean, you can ask, but I'm not sure I would risk it.  You might be banned for ever.  And you wouldn't want that.  Because the food is really good.  I want to try the Italian but I might have to wait until I can get someone to split with me because it will be hard not to order the steak.

I do believe we will be going back.

It's a good thing that our friend here practices good hygiene but I'm a little unclear about what it is he is brushing since he seems to be lacking teeth of any kind.

Ya Know!

Isn't this awesome!  See what you can get done if you know the right people?  Ya know what else is awesome?  How many people you can get to say ya know for no reason at all.  But you never actually need a reason to say ya know.  It is multipurpose.  Or it can have no purpose.  It can mean everything, or nothing.  It's perfect for all occasions.  And all the Shipping Monkeys would like to thank the Super Cobra for spending his own time to make our Ya Know! sign.

Elephun Wednesday

I feel like a nice ice cream soda.  Apparently this guy does too.  I'm guessing it isn't his first.

So, this is pretty creepy.  What is more worrying than the thought that something like this might exist is the fact that someone spent a lot of time and effort to create this so people like us could find it on the internet.

Isn't he cute?  Unlike that creepy elf on the shelf that spies on you for Santa and moves around your house at night. 

Hey there, slow down!  I bet he's the type of old geezer that likes to run over people with his scooter because they think they can do anything they want because they are old.  I don't think I like him. 

We seem to like elephant hybrids.  And there are a surprising amount of elephant hybrids to be found.  If you type hawkephant into a search engine things actually come up.  Who knew?

These party animals know how to have a good time.  See what I did there?  Party animals?  They are actually animals.  Get it?  Babbit won't think it's funny because he didn't say it.

Who's hungry?  I always am.  And I like spaghetti.  But I don't know if I would trust this guy to make my dinner.
