[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. Nancy, the elephant?

[welshTerrier2]

89. there you go ...

the one selling the peanuts at Sears ...

if i recall correctly, and i'm pretty sure i don't, she had a large gray trunk with a shipping label that read: "Catatonic Steamship Company" ...

i think if you're a passenger they stamp your hand with a stamp that reads: "no refund on birds" ... they told her she needed it if she wanted to go "ashore" ... we tried to bring some of those crinkly paper yellow streamers to see her off but they wouldn't let us get too close because there was some fancy British guy wearing a Nazi uniform or something ... we ended up trading a whole roll of the streamers for one lousy bag of peanuts ... frankly, i found the whole experience a wee bit confusing ...
