When i was a child we went on a day trip to Blackpool. While driving along the promenade we were stopped while 6 elephants (trunk holding tail of the one in front) crossed the road.

It seems it was a daily occurrence that the "Tower Circus" took their elephants to play on the beach each morning.

That same year they brought an elephants (3) out on a main street for folks to look at, blocked traffic, and, well, made a rather large mess on the street

That's how blind faith works.
BTW, I recommend "vile" instead of "foul".

Turns out this is one of this nit-picky things of English I was unaware of.
Between the two of us I'm sure we can take on Grammar Girl. I'd get more ambitious and seek to replace Purdue Owl, but I don't remember how to do MLA.

While I like being a grammar Nazi,
I don't actually know any grammar.

A note on this, I noticed the phrase "foul language" today on a sign at my doctor's office. That's (thoughts occuring in my head as I type this that changes things) Go pester you them.
This puts me in a complicated position (I often hear all about how reading too much and knowing too much is bad for me, no one says it's really a high degree of self awareness that slaps you more than anything). But the part of what was left out from above that I will put here instead, go bug them about it.

The sign says Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread, but maybe it needs changed to "Radioactive Nerd Levels Overwhelming. Beware." and write it out in a dozen languages, and allow admittance solely based on an assessment of the test specimen's reaction to being told "Hab SoSlI' Quch!"

Maybe we could start a new thread with that title.

I first heard of Hachiko during a business trip to Japan many years ago when someone told me he would meet me at Hachiko's statue.

Mountain biker encounters laid-back bear 'eyeball to eyeball' on Utah trail - UPI.com

A mountain biker in Utah shared details of the moment he was biking on a trail when he found himself within 20 feet of a black bear.

Laid-back bear.

"It was just kind of chilling, hanging out and checking me out, but I was a little scared," Ossalear said.

The cyclist fled the scene, but now admits that was probably the wrong move.

"I just completely panicked," he said. "I took off riding and then, of course, I was like, 'Oh wait, you're not supposed to go.'"

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources recommends anyone who encounters a bear in the wild to back away slowly.

"For black bears, you stay calm, stand your ground, and give the bear a chance to leave," Faith Heaton Jolley with DWR told KSTU-TV. "Don't run away, don't climb a tree, they're really fast, they can run up to 35 miles per hour."

Remember when someone invented interchangeable parts, and everyone verbally agreed that it was a good, American thing and some considered it 'Democratic technology'? It was general good will, and we expected it from manufacturers. What happened?

It turns out it was wrong to place faith in consumers and the idea that dollars and spending is democracy is wrong.
