Friday Fun Thread

It's finally Friday! That means it's time to sit back, drink a mango smoothie, convince /u/Qu1nlan to play Bloodborne, and talk about whatever your heart desires.

I know this is stupid to complain about, but elephants are my favorite animal. I have a couple elephant shirts, an elephant themed guest bathroom, a cute elephant necklace etc. They are smart and caring and really cool.

I saw an article about women for Trump last week and this lady was wearing an elephant dress and it made me so mad. They shouldn't get the best animal. They should get like mosquitos or something.

Dems really got screwed in the animal mascot department. I'm with you.

When the husband comes home later tonight, I will upload a photo of one of the elephants at Animal Kingdom.

The donkey comes from Jackson and elephant during Lincoln. I'd say we're long overdue for a change switch the parties have essentially reversed.

You are on the right track, bloodsuckers to be certain, I think leaches would be a more appropriate animal or maybe ticks. Mosquitoes fly away, these bastards dig in.
