Then I rebuilt it with a narrow entrance.

Nice ..

catsmeow says,

I hope you never forget how Dumbo it was to let that elephant in.

I considered putting mine through a woodchipper. You are a much gentler soul.

TeaTopper says,

Love this.

Staraj says,

Elephants belong in the bush, roaming free. But yeah, I've been a Dumbo so many times, I can wiggle my ears. (True. I can.)

illuminatrix says,

This is simply awesome. Enjoy the free space and the clear air. Elephant stink in the room is remarkably similar to the taste of one's own foot (at least for one involved party), isn't it?

KharisJo says,

congrats on MOTD and being the one to notice the elephant!

Contemplative says,

Your memoir applies to such a wide range of issues and is largely ingenious. Congrats!

TheAngstyPoet says,

This freakin awesome. Congrats on motd!

DynamicDbytheC says,

An all-time favorite. One for Larry's next book or calendar.

Staraj says,

Gracias compadres. But there's a little joke on me. The incorrigible side of Staraj had a "certain six" all ready to launch today, when much to my – well, I really shouldn't say consternation – surprise, I discover that I have the freakin' MOTD! Uhhhhh . . . thanks, Larry. Gotta be a good boy, today, and hold that six. O;-)

JAD says,

Excellent.

ShellDeFelice says,

Superb!

BanjoDan says,

Congrats amigo on the MOTD!

canadafreeze says,

Sometimes, it's good to hold a six - congratulations on the MOTD:-)

jl333 says,

Very MOTD worthy! Congrats!

Loon says,

now you must beware of skinny elephants....

Staraj says,

Wise words, Loon. Perhaps the lesson for all of us is to learn to deal with life's elephants — of all sizes.

mercurial says,

Well done!

oopsalittle says,

Congrats on MOTD - that elephant gets around!
