I AM A NINJELEPHANT

[opabinia]

Went climbing at Metro Rock with saturniidae tonight. The evening started off slow for me: I was feeling mopey, and two of my favorite routes* are no longer with us. However, my mood gradually crept out of the dark, and finally brightened when I came across a route named "Ninjelephant."

I've said this for years: I'm tired of zombies, pirates, and ninjas. With rare exception, these things just aren't funny anymore. However, I am definitely not tired of elephants. Elephants rule. Combine ninja (yawn) with elephant (awesome), and you get much more than the sum of the parts. Best part? The route isn't even a day old. I AM AMONG THE FIRST OF THE NINJELEPHANTS. I don't even care that Saturniidae kept calling me Ninjellyass.** Okay, I cared a little bit. I was like, "Come on! Ninjellyassephant, at least."



* 1 - My personal nemesis, which a setter was dismantling before my very eyes. Snif. 2 - The overhangy NO SMEARING climb fusion_waste would have conquered on the first try, had he not been laughing so hard.

** For some reason, I remembered the house Kozmo account from backintheday, aptly named "Jellyass," and thought "Ninjellyass" out loud. So yeah, she ran with that one. I should work on the brain-mouth filter.

But...an elephant really can't sneak up on you like a ninja would.

Then again, those morons on Sesame Street never saw Snuffleupagus.

and...no one would EVER expect an elephant to be a ninja. hence all the more deceiving!

Sesame Street was significantly less cool when everyone started to be able to see Snuffie.

Oh, maaaan. Kozmo. The sadness of the day they stopped delivering ice cream to my home.

Usage note: "Ninjelephant" is usually used without the article. "I am Ninjelephant" is more correct than "I am A Ninjelephant."

That's because there can be only one.
