Oh I like waiting,
Waiting is fun.
What would be better however,
is to have this elephant thing done.
I posted what I believe to be the list of anxious couch-sitters here.
I hope some of you get to hear the pitter-patter of stubby, round, little pachyderm paws soon.
Still no elephant here.
Not that I’m bitter.
It just serves as proof that no one loves me, that I’m forgotten and alone in a hostile universe, and that the best solution might be to commit slow suicide by Twinkie.
But that’s okay. I wouldn’t want to inconvenience anyone.
Well even though I’m still sitting on the couch, I have experienced the pleasure of a white elephant exhange (first time around). I will be happy to send one of my fellow sitters a white elephant. Maybe Thinksnow will give me another name.
i sent my elephant to texas on sept. 3rd or 4th. my elephant buddy does get other tributes from me and may not have realized it was an elephant. it def. should have gotten there by now.
Nothing. I even emailed by Elephanter (who’d emailed me weeks ago) to guilt him into something. Haven’t heard back. 
I sent my elephant a-packin’ on Sept. 24th, Christ I had to sign about ten vouchers swearing it wasn’t a bomb, and listing the contents, which I sort of fudged, lest I have to write every single little knick-knack in the damned thing.
thinksnow, my guy/gal doesn’t list his/her email, can you let 'em know it is on its way.
Sir Rhosis
I haven’t received mine yet, I haven’t sent mine yet. Honestly, I didn’t know that I was in this thing until after it was a done deal, and the name had been sent to me. I should have said right away that I wasn’t going to have the time, but then I figured I’d make the time. Um, still haven’t. Sorry.
Mother of four, full time college student. I haven’t got time to do my dishes most days. If anyone wants to take an extra name, let me know. If not, I’ll get to it. I swear. Maybe this weekend.
Please, call me Rue. I’m a very casual kinda guy.
Oh, yeah, sure scout (The Grand Mahout, my Special Friend), I already knew that. “Mahout”. Sure. I use that word everyday, in complete sentences. (No, wait, that’s “Sherpa” I use. Verb form - “sherp”.) I know bunches on things. You just never know what I know.
-Rue.
Crumbled White Elephant mistaken for Anthrax! Film at 11!
As hard as it is for me to leave the comfort of couch and kin, leave I must for…
I GOT MY ELEPHANT TODAY!!! 
Cool stuff, too
Good luck friends, see ya on the other side!
Hey - I’m happy to send out another package to anyone that hasn’t got their’s yet. I have tonnes o’ cra… um, stuff that I can ship off.
Maybe the White Elephant Chief can send me another name and address.
Al.
[sub]It’s certainly not like I’m busy with my OWN package, as it has yet to arrive.[/sub]
Still waitin’
sigh
I got a lovely box of Pity Pachyderms from FairyChatMom but neither of my official elephants have shown up yet. Guess nobody likes me. . . <sniff sniff>
Hey Ayesha, come on over here and share another butter tart with me, then I’ll help Tattva do the dishes. . .
Zappo
It’s hard to feel sorry for you all with all this groping going on.
Geez, Pammi, I can’t believe it cost you over $30!! My teddybear was so light, it cost less than $10 to send (not to rub it in) and it made it to Sweden in less than 1 week. I think someone in the U.S. or Swedish postal service is being lazy, refusing to move packages that weigh more than one teddy bear.
MAN-O-FREEKIN’ MAN
Not only, do I not have my stinkin’ Elephant, but I have to do my OWN baking dishes. Tattva gets help, but I have to wash up all on my own!
Well that’s just fine - see if I ever bake again…
Humph.
Al.
[sub]I think my lack of elephant may be making me a tad punchy…[/sub]
Aw, Al, I’ll give you a hand with your dishes.
Keeeeerist woman, how many people did you feed???
A package was mailed to Fort Worth this afteroon. You should have it in a few days.
Oh, dear. Oh, dear. I got it, my dear friend. And I was frankly speechless at all of the amazing wonders in this incredible box. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please forgive my excessive tardiness in responding. A lot has been going on here at casa Bear, I’m afraid.
I love it all, my daughter claimed some of it. My cats have enjoyed immensely climbing in and out of the box. (Sir Wilbur SK has even figured out how to get the box lid off and climb inside!)
As to my intended recipient, both Zappa from the first round, and whoever it is this time (my hotmail has been having issues, I’m afraid) haven’t received theirs yet. I’m afraid I haven’t had two pennies to rub together for anything other than bare essentials for several weeks. Please forgive, and know I’ll send it as soon as I can. Thinksnow, if you would be so kind, please let me know who my intended recipient is, and I’ll do my best to get something in the mail soon. I have gobs of stuff to send, it’s postage that’s a problem at the moment. In this economic downturn I’m afraid my home business has taken a beating, hopefully temporarily. If anyone is interested in hearing more about my business, please email me. And, thinksnow, please send the name I need to purrplebear@yahoo.com Perhaps I’ll have better luck with it there.
yee hah!!! my purple buddy got the box!!! a few more days and you might have gotten another… i thought it might have gotten lost. i have quite a bit of stuff in my basement. i’ve lived in this house all my life.
hot mail bad. yahoo good!
nod the naughty loves paper boxes, she doesn’t know how to get the lids off though, so we just leave them out with the lid off for her. winkin the wonderful does know how to get the lid off and even can ever so gently resettle the lid so you don’t know she is in there.
I have neither given, nor recieved as yet. I have, however, sent an apology to my person, and will be getting a parcel out ASAP.
I’m getting a little worried… last time we did this, I was one of the ones who missed out, and having heard nothing from my person I’m afraid I’m going to miss out again! Mr Cazzle was happy to let me participate the first time, a little hesitant the second time, but if I don’t get a box of crap… err, stuff… this time around, there’s no way he’ll let me go in for a third round!
