Elephant in the road...

27 replies
I was walkin down the road this mornin pullin my little red wagon behind me. I was lookin for some fresh vittles for supper tonight when I came along an elephant layin on the side of the road. It had done been runned over by a car and it was layin there with its little legs just stickin up in the air and it was graveyard dead!

Now ole Thad ain't never been one to pass up some fresh kilt vittles so I loaded that there elephant into my little red wagon and proceeded to take it home. If you want to be knowin the truth, there ain't nothin like some fresh-out-of-the-oven elephant fritters! Them thangs just melt in your mouth!

While them fritters was cookin, I decided I needed to get me somethin special to go with it! I went traipsin down to my still... ummm, my sodie water cooker with the intent of getting me some fresh home-brewed... sodie water. Well, guess what?

When I got there ole Sasquatch himself, Mister Bigfoot, was sittin there partkin of my sodie water. I walked up to that ole bigfoot and I slapped that jar right outta his hand. Then, I proceeded to beat the livin daylights outta that big monkey man and taught him a lesson that he won't never forget! Once I was done, I skint that critter and made me a rug outta his fur. Last I saw of ole Sasquatch, he was runnin butt nekkid through the woods just cryin and screamin like a little sissy!

On the way back to the cabin, I used a 20 foot rattler to make a lasso to rope a unicorn. When I got tired, I caught a grizzly bear and rode him like he was a horse. Then I... do what? What do you mean you don't believe a word I said? Are you sayin that you think ole Thad would make up a story? You think ole Thad would be tellin tall tales? You are sayin that you believe my story ain't nothin but ole Thad just shootin air out his butt? HUH!?!?!?

You believe all these folks who say they is makin tons of money online but you won't believe ole Thad! Well, go figure!!!

All I am sayin is that you take what you read with a grain of alcohol... I mean salt! Don't be so desperate that you fall for everythin! Let me give you a word of advice... it ain't how much money any other folks make, it's how much money YOU make!

    I just love the way ole Thad puts across a point.

    After the first two paragraphs I was just about to get myself down to Stumpwoody for my share of the fritters...

    But I guess I'd best go and make some money instead.

    I once had a case where the plaintiff sued for emotional distress arising from events she had read about in the news. Her testimony was if it wasn't true it couldn't be printed. She lost.

        Oh no! Say it isn't so Thaddaeus T!

        I was just about to go and pack my bags to come and visit you there in Stumpwoody!

        Now I don't care much for elephant fritters or mountain oysters or ole Sasquatch, but I wanted to see me a unicorn. You see, my daddy used to sing me a song when I was a little girl and it ended something like this:

        You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese,
        Lots of humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
        Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
        You're never gonna see a unicorn!

        I've been out to prove that wrong all of my life and I thought you could help. I thought the secret might lie in your fresh home-brewed... sodie water!

        But alas, now you say your story ain't true.

          Howdy there Terra! First off, take a look at this here...
          Second thang, I ain't never said my story wasn't true! Heck, sometimes I see unicorns and all sorts of other thangs around here.... specially after I have had a sip of my elixr!

          Don't you be worryin Terra! There is a lot more that's real in this here life than what can be seen with the nekkid eye! Just because no folks have seen somethin in a long time don't mean it don't exist. In Thad's world uni-corns are runnin all over the green pastures and tain't no folks can tell me they don't exist!!!

            Wow, I haven't heard that song in years! It sure brings back memories.

            A million years ago (or so it seems), when I was in college, I worked as a singing waitress in a popular German restaurant here in Portland. We had 3 or 4 accordian players, but one was a woman who was so fun to work with, and extremely talented (she could make an accordian sound amazing, and that's not easy to do!). She taught me this song, and we used to sing it together. The guests always loved it. Fun times (the singing part, that is - not the waitressing part!).

    Thad,

    I've resisted opening this thread ever since you started it. I just knew it would have something to do with food and I'm trying to lose 100 pounds.

    i finally couldn't resist and sure enough its about food. Thanks a lot.

    Now I have to buy the course on how to make thousands a day without working so I can afford a McElephant and fries.
