In 1960, Princess Laura of Upper Suerland left behind all the perks and riches of royalty to try to become a famous pastry chef in Italy. Her angry parents, the King and Queen, disowned Laura and her name was stricken from all official documents. However, the ex-princess did more than achieve her goal. She created dozens of award-winning desserts that are beloved today across Europe. Laura did experience some regrets, having given up a crown many would cherish. In fact, Princess Laura’s most famous dessert creation is a homage to the sadness and remembrance of her rejected past. Today that dessert is popular around the world. This is, of course, “Tiara Miss You.”

Furry elephants are lots of fun, according to noted veterinarian, author, and ivory fetishist James Herriot (1941-1995). However too much hair on your pachyderm can be a very bad thing. Indeed, Herriot recommended should your elephant grow so much hair that it becomes overly furry, you should immediately get its locks cut at the nearest Babar shop.

Aside from James Herriot, there have been many illustrious Mastodonians in history, first and foremost, Alexander the Great. Known primarily for conquering the “known world” as a young man, he is held up as an early example of lateral thinking. His direct solution to the famously frustrating “Accordian Knot”, cutting it to pieces with his sword, has inspired music lovers for centuries.

The missing New Testament book St. Paul’s Epistle to the Mastodonians was originally found between the also missing books of Lactations and Laotians. It contained Paul’s parable of the drunken she-parrot and also his mother’s recipe for black bean and seaweed pie.

The cucumber is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, but it is not really in particularly good standing. The cucumber rarely visits (except when it needs to borrow money) and usually forgets to send even a simple card at the holidays. The cucumber DID manage to show up at the Spaghetti Squash wedding last summer, but got terribly drunk and made several crude comments even though there were several Lagenaria baby gourds present.

Bernadette Peters “suffers” from a reverse version of **Progeria** (the “rapid aging” disease), she is actually 316 years old but still looks 17. Dorian Gray would be proud.
