This is *such* a trite thing to say, apologies in advance… but Simpsons FTW!

the cutest thing about baby elephants is that for the first few weeks they have no idea how to work their trunks.
Much schnoz-flailing to be had by all!

Liz:

You did. His name was Stampy. You loved him.

Redbone: As I thought, little boys in America have willies too.

Hon Glad, that’s pretty cool you got to see Mancini live! I love his music.

“Wet willie” in the US is just getting your finger wet and poking it in someone’s ear. The origins of this practice are almost certainly vulgar, but it’s a relatively innocent prank, these days.

Oh, my starts and garters, now we have to give another of our precious Murican secrets away-no, no, I can’t do it…somebody else has to…sorry, folks, it is juts too, oh, ….

i loooove the pittsburgh zoo! it’s a very fun place to be, and i’ll have to go see this babe in the near future. how adorables.

Redbone: I had just finished whistling, “Baby Elephant Walk” when up scrolled your comment. I saw Mancini conduct this and his other scores at a “Filmharmonic” concert at the Albert Hall, London, in the 70′s.
Theresa: Elephants Gerald :- I pissed myself.
staticgirl: Me Brit too. Can I say, we demand an explanation, as to what a Wet Willie means in Murica.

Where’s Henry Mancini? Doo doo-doop dee dee dah dah dah doo doo-doop!
(That’s my bad translation of “Baby Elephant Walk”)

My good friend just took her kids to see the baby elephant at the Pittsburgh Zoo on Thursday. I think there are a couple of babies just born there – a tiger, maybe?
I am amazed by elephants. After watching Planet Earth, I feel for them and treks they have to make to survive in the wild.
