- QUOTE OF THE DAY: “We didn’t pay 37 million zlotys for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there. We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio prefers male friends over females how will he produce offspring?” [Sky News]
WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY
Holy crap, the zloty is a real currency? I was 100% sure the above was a quote from the Hitchhiker’s Guide (or one of its sequels) that I’d forgotten about.
37 million zlotys? They were screwed! That’s the normal price for 5 elephants.
37 Million zlotys is like…$13.67.
How this relates to DC politics is beyond me. Oh, teh gay repub elephant. Never mind.
“Getting things done around here is like mating elephants…”
Unfortunately, our gay elephants somehow reproduce (PROLIFICALLY) before they get discovered for what they are.
Is that REALLY a currency? REALLY?
Ninio? Isn’t that Scalia’s nickname?
*imagining elephant teabagging*
A right winger freaking out over what is essentially an elephant that hasn’t went though puberty?You know this is a guy who likes his weenie on the down-low.
Maybe they shouldn’t have named it Ninio? Ever thinka that?
If it was called Tusks’O'Fightin, this never would’ve happened.
loudmouthredhead: Been there and still have few zlotys somewhere, which, based on Polish inflation must be worth less than the ink on the paper. But, I did love the country and the people. Lot’s of fun.
Clearly this elephant is choosing to be gay out of spite because God would never create a gay elephant.
Horton Hears a Homo.
Of course, he’s blind drunk on Chopin vodka and all the elephants are pink.
I found a picture of Ninio:

So right wing wackos are threatened by homosexual pachyderms, too? Man do these people need some serious therapy.
Maybe Ninio and his male friend could adopt an asian elephant - that seems to work for everyone in Brooklyn.
NoWireHangers: All because of the gay marriage.
Jim, epic fail. Clearly, you should have used this picture:

It’s not too late. Just slap it up there. With alt text. Pls.
bitchincamaro: An elephant may actually be able to teabag the White House in some form, although not as well as say The Jolly Green Giant (as Jon Stewart pointed out) or the Statue of Liberty, if she had a nut sack. Which she may well have, because she’s French and all that shit.
choinski: Win!
rambone: Yeah, someone needs to snap into action and make a commercial condemning gay marriage among elephants….
I blame Iowa and Vermont.
In these tumultuous times, I think I prefer the Vietnamese Dong to the Polish Zloty
Adoption. A herd of Dumbos, poor little elephants left w/o a Mom after the evil children torment her into a protective rage! That’s how Neno fathers a herd.
Well I guess Ninio can always move to Vermont.
I always wondered what gay elephants do with their trunks during elephant gay buttsecks
Bruno: I’d like to stick my dong in her zloty, if you know what I mean!
How can this elephant be gay? I don’t see a pink tutu in any of the pictures.
2goats: or, like Babar, except there it was a little, old white lady adopting an elephant, but otherwise, just the same! Sort of. Nevermind.
So what you’re saying is the
Polish People’s Purchase Promising a Plethora of Pachyderm Progeny Probably Won’t Pan Out.
Ninio, I have someone who’s dying to meet you.
How much is that in Blingies?
And is this the real reason PETA wants the Pet Shop Boys to change their name?

Having just typed “37,000,000 zlotys” into google, I now realize that I was royally ripped off during my last vacation to Poland.
queeraselvis v 2.0: Mr. Snuffleupagus is a furry!
Oddly enough, I just typed “Gay Polish Elephant” into google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 597,000 for gay polish elephant. (0.31 seconds)
This guy needs to pull his pants down, turn around, and take it like the closeted queer he is. Maybe he can get it from the elephant….then again I wouldn’t want him to set the bar too high for his future partners!
Seriously is this all this man has to talk about!?
He’s worried about breeding? Surely they can just borrow some techniques from farming - i.e. the non-robot AI. As they say round here, if you milk a bull elephant, you’ll have a friend for life.
A million zlotys here, a million zlotys there, pretty soon you’re talking about a gay elephant.
queeraselvis v 2.0: but…but…what about Big Bird? You just want him to be dumped like so much litter on the side of a highway?
WIld Turkey: Don’t google images- I’ve already seen three horrible things people can do to elephants. Now I must cry.
lobo2009: Polish conservatives are actually quite similar to American conservatives, with the religiosity, racism, homophobia, and what have you, but minus the creepy twins.
Doglessliberal: Big Bird knew what it was.
It’s even more grosz.
Brendan M.: that is so very sad. Next, you’ll be trying to set up Bert with some young stud.
i want to write a children’s book about him and Babar running off to Amerika to get married.

Custerwolf: that should have an ‘e,’ on the end, but I temporarily ran out.
Doglessliberal: For shame. Thank of the children!
I see the problem:
“‘We didn’t pay 37 million zlotys (£7.6m) for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there,’ Mr Grzes was quoted as saying.
‘We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio prefers male friends over females how will he produce offspring?’
Mr Grzes, from the right-wing opposition Law and Justice party, is a councillor in the western Polish city of Poznan.”
Mr. Grzes has jealousy issues because he needs another vowel, and Ninio has an extra “i”.
queeraselvis v 2.0: well, in all fairness, we know Bert had some multiple-partner thing going on with the pigeons, anyway.
Jim, why have you been talking to my mother? I’m going to get out and find a job Mom!
Ohhh, Sky News, the British equivalent of Fox News. I had to endure their bat shit insanity during my jet lag induced insomnia in Europe. It’s more fun when it’s in another country, I have to admit. Good times!
Well, you dont just give it away for free.
Its a fucking valuable thing.
We didn’t pay 37 million zlotys for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there.
That was one of the sentences they had us translate in Polish 201 at U-M.
Actually, I was there, in 1990. I never tire of this story–it was 2,900 zlotys to the dollar at the time, and a member of our group was offered a special deal for $50. He tried to rip the dealer off by slipping a $2 bill in for a $20, but when he got the wad of currency, after the first couple of 10,000 notes they were all 2 and 5 zlotys, which literally weren’t worth the paper they were printed on.
Doglessliberal: You’re goddamn right! If Ernie doesn’t put a ring on that finger, what should Bert do? It will be recognized in D.C. and New York, and they can do the ceremony in Des Moines.
Warning, sciencey kinda stuff:

They’re fucking everywhere…haha my little funny
MGBYG: And one for teh gheys coffee table is “Biological Exhuberence.”
Custerwolf: Priceless.
Doglessliberal: italics…or, like Babar…
Is that one B or two?
These zealots need to think about one of their little beliefs: “When God gives you a lemon, make lemonaide”. Think out of the box people.
How about making a 37m zloty gay animal exhibition. I’ll bet most of Wonkette would like to check that shit out.
Or if you’re really against the gayz, you can have a 37m zloty gay animal re-education center. There must be lots of other animal owners around the world in a similar predicament.
Doglessliberal: Take two and……or, like Babar…
Is that one B or two?
hobospacejunkie: Two — just not next to each other.
Bruno: Or, they could sell the trunker to the next circus to hit town, and spend the zlotys converting the elephant house into a hoare house, with a secret VIP entrance- That would no doubt shut this twerp up.
