Elephants!

posted May 5, 2009 at 12:24 PM

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is in town and it's scheduled to walk its elephants from the Port of Albany to the TU Center this evening along Pearl Street -- it was actually last night. [Thanks, Ellsass and Brad]

Actually, that was last night! The train finally came in around 11:30 at the port. Sorry guys!

I went there last night (like a dope) and stood around for an hour before someone told me the elephants were going to be late (after 9pm) are they coming from India directly?

Since this thread seems to have lived it's useful life, I'll take the time to comment on the craptacular ads that are showing up directly above where I'm typing this. Now, I'm fairly certain they're google ads, and the National Organization for Marriage is not posting ads directly to AOA, but is there any way you can opt out of ads that are sponsored by groups whose sole purpose is to hate people that happen to love somebody of the same sex?

I can't imagine many of the readers of this site would support such a group... Is there any way to contact google ads to voice your displeasure with their selection of ads to send AOA's way?

Yep, by train, straight from India; in similar news, my parents got me a bitchin' Camaro, they drive it up from the Bahamas.

Please don't go to the circus! Ringling abuses their animals (go to circuses.com for more info)! Please only support animal-free circuses to show that keeping animals in circuses and dragging them around the world to "perform" is inhumane!
