Just left that town. Thought it was uglier and heavier than last time I was there.

/Let the "That town sucks!" parade begin!!

340 lb toddler sounds like a maury show

The dark gray elephant explored an old tire with his trunk..


Shoulda named him Sanford, instead of Samson...


/his parents are from Arkansas... I bet he'll be missing half of his trunk by the time he's 12...damn meth....

The Sun is there? Was it Templeton? You better fact check that.

That poor kid in the elephant outfit.

I'll say this for the Sun.

It's better than the Capital.

/wouldn't even wrap fish in THAT one.

 
scwewywabbit 2008-04-27 11:10:08 PM  
either way, the Baltimore zoo kind of sucks :P

and I'll be chaperoning a bunch of kids there next weekend... that'll be interesting!

Awesome little guy.

...threadjack...

What's the over under on one of the Westboro Baptist idiots getting themselves killed in Essex, MD tomorrow morning when the protest the funeral of the founder of the Chosen Sons motorcycle club? I can't be there I gotta work.

Can't they eliminate all those lame-ass people from the video? No one cares about mayors, governors and unfortunate children forced to wear elephant costumes.

Baby elephant: Do want.

 
ironic_followup 2008-04-27 11:14:38 PM  
for all I know, there is no sun in Baltimore.

 
danar75 2008-04-27 11:16:16 PM  
Awwww... the baby in the elephant outfit is cute, too.

Cue the Henry Mancini...

Baby Elephant Walk = double want.

Awww, but The Capital is an excellent source of Bake Sale coverage and local NIMBY whining about whatever latest project has been proposed - no matter how minor. And a whole special brand of crazies in the Letters to the Editor section!


/Will acknowledge that it's called the Evening Crabwrapper for a reason though

Just curious as to how this works. I submitted the exact same URL story yesterday and it was rejected. I thought submissions of the same thing are auto-rejected?


/don't actually care about the greenlight, curious about the site mechanics of it.

bonehead800: I bet your headline was funnier, too.

Anyhow, that's very ugly ass cute. It looks tiny next to Mom but then you realize that its back comes up to chest height on the trainer. Those are big farking animals.

zoo trifecta in progress?

I love the link to the right of the page. They used google maps to track all the homicides in the city.

 
Je5tEr 2008-04-27 11:34:48 PM  
Wait, the sun is there?

Doesn't Samson mean "of the sun"?

Subby can't possibly be that clever.

I LOVE BABY ANIMALS.

Nah, mine kinda sucked. 'twas just straight-forward factual. I totally whiffed on the Sun connection to the usual headlines.

Woo, Baltimore thread! Two in two days. Keep the streak alive.

That's hilariously morbid. You can even filter by race, COD, age, ect.

Better keep it out of Baltimore, then.

That's what I came here to say. Lamest.video.evar.
Show the freaking baby elephant, already!

Gawd, baby elephants are cute. Right up there with kittens.

That baby in an elephant suit pic needs a subtitle contest ASAP.

FTA:
Samson is doing things with his trunk that elephants don't typically do for several more months. He can get water in his mouth with his trunk, is picking things up with his trunk and has even started using it to eat his mother's manure - a good thing, McClure assured, as the bacteria in it will help Samson's digestive system mature.

I hope he brushes afterwards.

 
califacondor 2008-04-28 01:02:34 AM  
Why, are you gonna kiss him?

This.

And, typical male, the Gov gives thanks and credit to everyone but the mother!

Ahh, but maybe I am...

No, no I'm not.

yeah so that video had about 3 seconds of the baby elephant. they are so gosh-darn cute though. if they didn't grow up to be 7000 lbs...

Cup_O_Jo: I LOVE BABY ANIMALS.

Me too. Especially with sautéed onions and mushrooms.


/just kidding. I think veal tastes gross

SmileLadybug: That poor kid in the elephant outfit.

I dunno. Baby looks pretty satisfied with the outfit.
/They come in ones and two-zles
//But if they so choozles
