Saturday Stops - Elephant

All Aboard the Meme Express – Saturday, November 7, 2009

The elephant officially became the mascot of the Republican Party in American on this date in 1874. (The donkey is, of course, the mascot of the Democratic Party.)

It’s time for Saturday Stops at Meme Express. Each Saturday, we offer a weekend word or two for that day’s prompt.

Regardless of political persuasions, the Meme Express prompt for today is:

elephant

Why not write your own blog post today?

Do elephants really never forget . . . or do they forget to remember?

What is the proverbial elephant in the room, that everyone refuses to talk about?

Are you facing a task or decision of elephantine proportions?

Do you ever feel as if you are working for peanuts?

Perhaps this concept will inspire you to create and post a drawing, a poem, a photograph, a short story, or a journal entry. Then return here to leave a comment with your link. (Be sure to include a link to the Meme Express. Grab our train graphic from the sidebar for your link, if you want.)
