I’m on the I’m-getting-my-elephant-this-weekend-in-Chicago couch. I think maybe **Rue** should badger all wayward elephanteers. ---

**evil laugh** Why Shirley, my love, I had no idea you were still waiting. Look here, I happen to have your address. _rubs hands together_ I’m not your Elephanteer, but … ---

Well, I haven’t gotten a white elephant, but I’ve pretty much decided it isn’t coming. That’s okay, I got a Book Swap package, so I’m content. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tattva \* > \*\*I think maybe **Rue** should badger all wayward elephanteers. \*\* Nope. Sorry. I’ve institutued a “No Badgering” policy. It’s a rule and there’s nothing I can do. But if someone wants to be the Official Elephant Badgerer, I think there’s a spot open in the Organizational Chart. -Rue. ---

I was told it was on the way a while ago, but I think mine got lost in the mail. No biggie, I’ve got enough junk lying around. ---

I think mine missed its way too. No elephants in sight. ---

I’m terribly sorry that mine is still sitting here, ready to go in the mail. I’ve had some minor emergencies happen at Casa Bear that have delayed me. It’s not any of the ones who’ve already posted to this thread. But, after this weekend, I will almost certainly have even more stuff to send someone, and I’d be most happy to. (I got volunteered to help run the neighborhood yard sale this coming Saturday.) {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} to all who haven’t gotten theirs yet, especially mine. ---

Sorry for that server hiccup just now – I had to do a search to find this thread. The point being that I got my white elephant!! **Superdude** drug it all the way with him to Chicago. It’s lucky he didn’t have it in his pocket with his wallet!

I’m on the couch, but I think I’m scheduled to be part of the next White Elephant…unfortunately I joined too late this time around ☹ ---

Still couched. I think Customs has a lot to answer for.
