My Other Elephant Is A Camaro


{One of the more interesting objects I've excitedly pulled from a filthy bus floor or trash can, this Polaroid was found on the street in Portland's Old Town. It was very close to Burnside, a street that sees a tremendous daily volume of transient homeless traffic. It is entirely possible that this photo was the treasured possession of either the adult or child pictured in it, someone whose life is now eons away from this elephant's back. Regardless, I see about a dozen stories every time I look at it.}

I was going to leave some sarcastic comment about riding on an animal's back when I read the above fan letter. Dude, did you make Michael your agent already? HE IS THE MAN.

Remember me when you're famous and hanging with super models.

Mikey can barely negotiate his way out of a bathroom stall, but he looks GOOD in those Hollywood throwback Oakleys.

Negotiating your way in the bathroom stall is the trick. And I got that shit down, brah!
