I'm not really in the elephant category....

Starting to lose some. Every little bit helps. I don't expect to be high school weight. Nor do I expect to have all my high school teeth.

"Valium by crop duster."

let people alter the sex on their birth certificate even if they have not had sex-change surgery.

This'll get the boys into the girls High School/college locker rooms. Simply change your "sex" back after college.

And can you imagine the girls basketball team?!? Damn!!! Those are some tall, hairy, flat chested, women...

This is extremely bizarre.

I also want to pick my own race, and then I'll finally be able to beat the affirmative action game.

Could I claim to be an albino black?

Now this whole issue would fit in nicely with the people who want to grant human rights to apes. Hey, if we can label ourselves as some kind of animal, we'll get treated a whole lot better by the left that if we insist on being human.

My head feels like it's going to explode.....

I actually don't even belong on this planet....

I remember the conversation - I really thought I could grow up and be an elephant.

Funny thing, I DID grow up and become an elephant!

(Not really, but I need to lose about 35#...)

Awwww. Kids are so adorable. It's really amazing how little we change.

[little jeremiah]

I really like elephants still, thanks!

I loved the Mowgli books by Rudyard Kipling. Read them over and over.

I don't know if you have children, but if you do/when you do, one of the best things that a parent can do is share their most beloved childhood books with their children. I still fondly remember my mother reading to us before bedtime.

My kids are grown and I've got a couple of grandhchildren; unfortunately they live 1000s of miles away...

BTW, I like your tagline!

[trisham]

Thanks! :)

LOLOLOL!!!! I want to be a Mexican because then I could sneak into the country, demand free education, free health care, voting right, lower interest loans, citizenship, and everyone to speak my language!
