So it would be camouflaged if it parked in front of an elephant of course

Obviously that...duh :P

Why else?

Desert Pink was the Middle East base coat colour from October 1942 until Light mud was introduced in April 1943

Unless, of course, the elephants were camouflaged.  They are very good at that sort of thing. :-\

Can you spot the elephants in these photos?

You callin' me fat?



I have carefully read G2G's email and he does not mention the word "fat" anywhere. He calls you an Elephant

African maile elephant weighs 6800KG
Indian male elephant weighs  4990KG

So applying the logic and assuming you weigh less than 3500kg or 551 stone you are positively anorexic.  :-\

It also means that your penis is Six and a half feet long - dwarfing FKs claimed Sixteen inches. ;D   

I think whatever you have FSN it must be catching, because since you joined this forum I have increasingly bizzarre thouhts.

551 stone? OK. I've got  a few stones leeway.

These aren't bizarre thoughts. They're your inner thoughts leaking to the surface.

At least that's what Dr Basilisk says.

In the second, of course. But where is it in the first?
