ELEPHANT-DONKEY should give everyone a pony.

Hadrian said 06/06, 02:35 AM
If I could change one thing about ELEPHANT-DONKEY...it would be to end pointless debates about what we would change on ELEPHANT-DONKEY.

Debates about what ELEPHANT-DONKEY coulda/woulda/shoulda been. What is the point, really? Is ELEPHANT-DONKEY ever going to change? Does anyone think Time Inc is actually listening?

As long as we are wasting our time discussing what we want ELEPHANT-DONKEY to do, I'll go on record and say:

I want a pony.

First of all, elepant-donkey should be a site for political debates, not for debating what's wrong with the site, so I agree with you there.

However, ponies are, in fact, expensive. I have a friend who trains horses and she says they can cost anywhere from 1500 to a few thousand dollars, depending on whether or not they are broken in. If you factor in the 49 registered names on Elephant-Donkey, that amounts to at least $73,500 doled out by Time Inc. I doubt they will be excited to shell out that kind of dough for a site that hardly anyone takes seriously.

We have agreement that we should not have "debates" about the site itself. But if these debates do happen, we should be able to ask for any fanciful thing we want. And I want it on record. I want a pony.

There was a man who once said, "I wish I had enough money to buy an elephant." His friends asked, "What would you do with an elephant?" The man replied, "I don't want the elephant, I just want enough money to buy one."

If Time Inc. does not want to give me a pony, then they can make an offer. I might accept a portion of the cost of a pony instead.

You should ask for something much more substantial than a pony. Maybe a Mazerati.

Hadrian said 06/18, 05:20 AM
You complain ponies are too expensive. Then say I should ask for a Mazerati. You confuse me. With all your flip=floppery, I have to ask, "Are you running for office?" If so, I'll vote for you -- provided you promise me a pony.

I want a pony. Lets not make it more complicated than that.

I was thinking of running for student council at my school, but i wouldnt have won anyway.

Regardless, I was trying to make a point that if you are going to break the bank, do it big.

I just had the greatest idea.
We should have elections on Elephant-Donkey.

I would be Secretary of Defense since I am against gun control.
You could be Secretary of the Treasury because, apparently, you are good at throwing away money.
