For some reason I’m thinking east coast with the leather jacket. Reminds of the late 70s on the Long Island seashore.

A few years ago, tism and I were sitting in a restaurant. There were two guys at the next table and one of them was going on and on about his super awesome job looking after celebrity yachts. He was describing all the fancy boats he had supposedly looked after, name dropping left and right. Finally, he was describing Mel Gibson’s yacht, and he said all the barstools were upholstered in (and this is a direct quote) “elephant nut sacks”. The second guy, who hadn’t said a word up to this point, finally spoke up and said “Actually… Elephants don’t HAVE balls.” This was followed by a stunned silence and moderate back-pedalling.

Of course we looked it up later, and sure enough, it’s true. “Actually… Elephants don’t have balls” has become a catch-phrase. It’s surprising how often you can work it into a conversation,

I needed to look:

…most mammals have the testes outside the body because sperm apparently needs to be produced at a slightly lower temperature than normal body temperature.
Elephants have a lower core body temperature than most other mammals so don’t need the testes to be outside the body for them to produce viable sperm.

Neat! Although, I’ll never look at Babar the same way again.

My two cents but all testes should be on the inside. It’s a flawed, evolutional design. Genitalia exposed.. the horrors.

I’m not sure I’m qualified to comment on that design… I’m only a casual user of the system, not an admin. ;)

we were talking about “in” jokes and our own personal “theater of the absurd” going on, but this crosses some lines.

You’re absolutely right. No accordion should ever be violated by a man with this kind of mustache.

The French Horn guy in #12 just looks like he’s pleading with somebody off to the side to please let him stop. There’s a backstory there, I just know there is.

the girl with the french horn guy doesn’t look exactly delighted by the business either. just sayin’.

But did you roll in it? My kitten used to roll in his oatmeal. THAT’S WHAT ANIMALS DO.

“Cows in the hole” as I never say.

Or, as I learned on the internet: If there were two cows in the hole, those two cows would collectively be Edgar. Like the Borg. Because Edgar is the one in the hole.

I suspect it’s a Zen thing.

It’s hard to find these gems in Minecraft but they are out there.

Ryan had set for the lads and led another cow into his house by growing wheat and using it to lead the cow into the hole. After much confusion, Ryan explained and said “Look, you don’t understand, Edgar is the one in the hole.” Ryan’s sentiment implied that Edgar was never a specific cow, but any cow in the hole.

Given the day, rooster teeth will play.

You know what’s weird? The oatmeal-cat? His name actually is Edgar. I think the comment string has collapsed in on itself.

Fell in that damn hole with the other cow-ments.
