Many thanks to Mimi for suggesting this one.
As usual, if you click on the pic it will enlarge, annoyingly this blogger format keeps shrinking pictures down.
For anyone who doesn't know, Banksy is a street artist whose true identity is carefully guarded... although he believes in free art for all, his witty artworks are now worth a lot of money, sigh, capitalism eh? See more at www.banksy.co.uk
Tsk, sorry, link doesn't work, but the website is there!
Move over, dahling.
do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?
after months of preparation Nelly, the ninja elephant, sneaks up on her prey
Could you stop reading? I'd like to have a word about your choice of tapestry...
[btw, it's well worth looking at the paintings in the background]
Indeed yes, File - my caption is: "Stop sitting there pretending to read, I'm serious, there are UFOs coming out of the picture behind you!"
Iraq Diplomacy lesson 4 by Mr Blair of Fettes - ah here we are:
"now that it is invisble try and get it back into the bottle"
"I've told you a thousand times, Nelly, your mother had a brief fling with a chameleon. She never even told him about the pregancy. Get over it."
Some very splendid captions! thanks to all so far.
Mysterious Diane reading in her indian psychedelic 70's printed red chinz boudoir
ignoring the elephant "en trompe l'oeil"-
-It's an all in Diane mystery-.
Mansoon season, everybody's in.
Woman on sofa: "You're an elephant, you're in my living room, you're talking to me and you reckon I should worry about the painted UFOs on the wall? Get outta here."
can I use your phone luv?
Eletelephony
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! no! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)
By Laura E. Richards 1850-1943
Oh, very excellent, Ms Richards.
is Ms Richards the girl on the sofa reading Kipling's Jungle book to Jumbo?
or may be she is reading:
A red Tapir serie.
Guitou, ouch!
i know zeph, it hurts- Elephony puns should be deleted, then I'll keep you busy overtime:)
Lovely lovely elephunk poem.
A caption, perhaps, from the Elephant's child:
Hey, you told me not to do that in the grey green greasy Limpopo, but you didn't tell me I'd look like a pair of poncy curtains!
Not a caption, but a comment I think I should report, from Paddleman who came over for dinner yesterday and was looking at this thread over my shoulder:
"So, you all take substances, yeah?"
I had to deny it. Told him it was just Zeph.
substances?
file - pro-biotic corduroy
mimi - single malt catnip
guitou - absinthe and red bull
docshoot - eucalyptus sap
munni - money (deep-fried)
offie - 'whatever dude ... abide'
zeph - freshly squeezed toad milk
Toad milk, yukk!! Fermented rose petals for me, please.
I don't believe Paddleman is as sensible as he sounds, it must be a front for some sinister activities...
sinister activities? Tusk, tusk, just don't ask what's hidden in his trunk
deep-fried money?! certainly not, I'm a communist for dog's sake. I will stick to very strong coffee, injected intravenously if necessary.
caption: be honest now, does my bum look big in this?
obviously there is a "fresh paint" missing sign.
single malt cat-nip is quite apt really, though I must point out that the nip of a cat type is only for the cats.
The dram however ... is for me!!
[in light of recent debate regarding KP and his skill]
"Hey, forget the toenails. Am I a left or right-swinger with my trunk?"
And sometimes, you ache, so much, and the only thing you can do is cry and cry and then, something stops you because:

And it doesn't make it right, but it stops you feeling so alone when you're hurting.
Thank dog for the elephant!! And the music.
