Is there a less multi-color elephant option? <br /><br /><3 Dotty-buttonsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67606023570559143.post-4200695348385463802011-04-19T10:18:52.064-04:002011-04-19T10:18:52.064-04:00I just like saying whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaleI just like saying whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaleGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220319070065996557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67606023570559143.post-56424793110182426262011-04-19T03:57:04.798-04:002011-04-19T03:57:04.798-04:00Whaaaaaaaaaaaale

Like for example: I assume since it's red, those whales are probably somewhere other than the ocean. Are they flying whales? Maybe, since they're smiling and by all appearances not dying horribly on a tourist beach in Miami. This is a novel place for a whale, and they seem to want to enjoy it as much as possible. So either we've captured an illusive image of a flock of flying whales on this tie, or someone has chosen to reenact that one scene out of The Hitchhiker's Guide with hundreds more still delightfully oblivious participants.<br /><br />Then you have the elephants. I mean, look at them! Trunks raised and marching in unison in what undeniably is an aggressive manner. The red background takes on new importance, since it's conceivable the elephants are walking. What then is staining the ground red? And then there's the colors of the elephants themselves. No natural elephants could look like that. The conclusion is obvious: what we're witnessing is an apocalyptic robotic army of doom elephants advancing across a field of crimson, heralding the dusk of humanity.<br /><br />Tough call...<br /><br />OR MAYBE YOU COULD WEAR THEM BOTH.IceCreamNinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421233369478238401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67606023570559143.post-40281938585340688952011-04-18T20:18:48.113-04:002011-04-18T20:18:48.113-04:00While I ultimately prefer the elephants, in order ...While I ultimately prefer the elephants, in order to stay true to your American Flag Theme I opted to go with the whales.
