And how old is the elephant... yes dude... that's it... how old's the elephant? And what color's the bucket. I see pink and yellow man... pink...
I think it a re-intepretation of the mouse and the tiger fable but in chinese. As in the mouse walks in front of the tiger thourhgout the animal kingdom and everybody is scared, the mouse think they are scared of him but is actually scared of the tiger, when tiger leaves, mouse is kicked the crap of, learns lesson and so on. saying that Yao ming is doing a lot of the grunt work interms of defense, and on offense drawing a lot of attention and the rest of the team is benifitting from his passing and getting open looks because he draws defensive pressure away from CM and SF, but if they stop feeding him the ball and letting him take shots, the defence collapses on them and they are screwed. As in the game winning performances SF and CM are having this year is due in large part to Yao, SF is the mouse leading the tiger army so to speak
I am so, so glad to see this thread, like an old friend. And I am so glad to finally have a chance to post this image: Yao is surrounded by clowns and freaks! ... and, um, a naked woman confused: maybe?) on all fours!
Rudy is the helpless, falling character is the upper-right corner. Notice the sea-urchin style head and the look of fear.
I road on a pregnant Big Elephant through a jungle in the Western Ghats of southern India. Little did I know that years and years later it would all come back to me while reading a thread about Bongs, Big Elephants, Buckets, Rockets and B-Bobs. (Don't be such a Bogart... pass the damn thing! Uh, what?? That's it... pass the damn bucket, Steve!)
austinrocket is cracking me up. Now a significant fraction of his posts, in about 4 years of BBS life, appear in this elephant thread. I love the focus, the clarity of purpose, ... the passion. And of course I enjoy polluting the Game Action forum.
Hey, austinrocket, you are the one who's making this thread out of control. How many times have you replied?
reptile, you should add one more line to your story: Elephant: everyone who have read this thread must forward it to 25 others through email in 3 days. If not, you will have bad luck and turn into an elephant. This will make your post more classic than it already is.
