I don't think so, Shel. I mean, "Two in the grey, one in the stink" just lacks a certain cache, you know?

ZenGum · 03-29-2009, 02:15 AM

Just wondering, do elephants have colour vision?

xoxoxoBruce · 03-29-2009, 02:18 AM

Maybe some but not much.

capnhowdy · 03-29-2009, 08:37 AM

I really don't think the color will change the flavor at all.

From Bruce: That elephant is in St. Cloud/Clearwater, Minnesota.

Must be a different one then, mine was headed south.

Maybe it was going to Disney World for vacation.

capnhowdy · 03-29-2009, 08:13 PM

This wouldn't be a bad place to go while on vacation.

There was six inches of snow layering everything. I crawl out of my down bag and open the back of my camper shell at 9 in the morning. As I gaze out on the spectacular panoramic view of the local mountain range, this pink Cadillac El Dorado convertible with the top down and white upholstery goes susshing by. There was a blond gal sitting in the passenger seat with little more than one would wear indoors. I remember it all very vividly. It was a most unpredictable and truly surreal sight.

Hmm.. Dunno.. There is some resemblance.

Gravdigr · 04-09-2009, 03:17 PM

Narcuul's pic reminded me of a book I read some years ago about alien elephant types invading Earth. "Footfall". One printing used this pic as a cover...

dar512 · 04-09-2009, 06:04 PM

It's a fun book.

I thought that picture reminded me of something.

SPUCK · 04-10-2009, 05:40 AM

Yeah! It was to be one of the last Niven books before the scumbag sold out his huge following. It also was a total (absolute) spoiler for the entire book. I was really disappointed that he ruined the book that way. In fact, I tore off the cover before I gave it to the next person.
