You always see the elephant men wearing burlap potato sackish bags to cover their horrifying faces but I can't for the life of me recall ever even seeing an elephant woman.
I wonder if this this ever happens in elephant woman households to help with their self esteem:
Mom: Ellie, how are you feeling today? Any better?
Ellie: I hate school. I feel like a freak.
Mom: Well I got something for you. (Pulls out fabric swatch book and sits on corner of bed). It's a book filled with pretty swatches. I thought we could look through the book and pick out a nice pattern for your burlap sack. Perhaps one with a cherry pattern? That would be cute - don't you think?
Ellie: You're the best mom! (starts to take sack off of head).
Mom: (covers eyes and looks away). ELLIE.THE SACK. PUT THE SACK BACK ON! Thank you.
I was hoping that picture up there was one of those magic eye things with an elephant man image hidden inside.
ReplyDeleteImagine my dismay when it wasn't.
However, it was a cool effect when I crossed my eyes and tried to induce the Magic Eye picture to come out.
Cruel, Zibbs, very cruel. I think you really are at your best with this kind of humour.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the cool videos I put up on my page, they're odd and fun, you'll like them. :)
Hahahahhaha a swatch book! You are scaring me coming up with this stuff. Do you sleep at night?
ReplyDeleteHAPPY MONDAY!!

Jesus!!! This is how you start your day. I think I'm moving further west.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing funnier than your post were the products that were chosen to be advertised beside them! That being said, I am not so sure young elephant girls would require full head coverage. I believe head sacks to be a more mature necessity, you know like a bra. If I ever need one, I'd like mine to be made of hemp, thank you. A head sack, not a bra, that is.
ReplyDeleteYour mind is odd, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI wish they had those when I was in high school.
ReplyDeleteBanged many an elephant woman without the bag on her head.
Some scary shit right there, my friend.
THAT was awesome.
ReplyDeleteawesome!
From mom's reaction, I must assume that she is a normal. So Ellie got the elephant thing from dad. Funny, I thought both parents had to have elephant face for the kids to get it.
ReplyDeleteyou live in an odd little world.
ReplyDeletewth? you're just weird my friend. weird I tell ya.
ReplyDeletehow do you even come up with this shit?
Glad to see you are back to your normal self..
ReplyDeleteBut half the fun of being a monster is scaring the crap out of people. If I were Ellie I'd rip off my sack while on a bus or train, somewhere where people are packed in together. Then I'd pick one person to stand very close to, staring at them until they freaked. Heh heh. Good times!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Zibbs! I look forward to your series on beauty secrets for conjoined twins!!
ReplyDeleteWe are back to the conjoined twins?
ReplyDeleteBurlap potato sacks reminded me of this lovely picture of Jared Leto, which I saw earlier today:

Yeah, still don't know how to do a link in a comment.... :(
In Missouri the elephant peeps are forced to wear plastic bags on their heads. Maybe that's why we don't have very many anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to include the poignant scene where Ellie says how it's only on Halloween that she can be herself.
ReplyDeleteTsk! Cherry patterns are soooo 2008!!
ReplyDeleteDiscreet textured weaves and moiré florals are where it's at.
dude I too just stared at this photo for 2 minutes till I realized, its not a magic eye photo.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone mentioning the Elephant Man lately. Did I miss a memo on the Elephant Man? I mentioned Wonder Woman, and now *I* feel like a freak!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this pattern a little oldfashion? Then the classmates would laugh at her for using a kitchen tablecloth..
ReplyDeleteYou are quite strange.
ReplyDeletePrunella Jones - your comments are cracking me up!!
ReplyDeleteAnd to others - yes, I do have some strangeness on me.
FYI: I took the (not so) subtle hint and dropped by for some hot click-action ... the bacon wallet and the muscle-bound, action smurf are ... interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you getting links for Jimmy Choos, chocolate sports cars and diamond-encrusted handbags? Cos then I might click more enthusiastically.
Just a suggestion
There's a nice little side bizness for ya Zibbszeeeee. Just think of the hordes and hordes of peeps lined up to buy em.
ReplyDeleteYou would be the envy of all elephantee's out.
peace

ha, that was cute. I think elephant men also have elephantis, so it has to be a male thing.
ReplyDeleteDr Z your mind just doesn't ever stop does it??
ReplyDeleteThis post really cracked me up!! I just do not like elephant woman.....
HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY!!!
Michelle - it never, ever stops.
