Hooray!! It's time to announce the winner of my first blog giveaway. Now I need to apologise for my blog title. I heard this line on Bart Gets an Elephant episode of The Simpson's, nearly 20 years ago now. I found it funny then and I still think that it is funny now, so please indulge me while I have a little giggle to myself. If you want a little trip down memory lane, here's the transcript from that segment of the episode:
Marty: Let's try one more number.
Homer: Y'ello?
Bart: [grabs phone] KBBL is going to give me something stupid!
Marty: Well, hot dog! We have a weiner! [car alarm noise]
Homer: [grasping air] Y'ello?
Bart: I won, I won!
Marty: You win your choice of $10,000 or -- what's our gag prize this
week, Bill?
Bill: [raucous] A full-grown African Elephant!
Bart: Well, all that money sounds mighty tempting, Marty, but I think
I'm going to have to go with the elephant.
Homer: [to Marge, happily] He's taking the elephant instead of the
money.
Marty: [whispering] The kid wants the elephant!
Bill: We don't have an damn elephant.
Marty: Don't whisper into the mike!
Bill: Ahem, kid, the elephant's a gag prize. Nobody takes the gag
prize. [nervous laughter] You want the cash.
Bart: [indignant] I want the elephant!
Homer: Heh, heh, stick it to the man!
