That big self-important elephant wasn't named Puffy the Frog by any
chance, was he? Did he taste vaguely lemony? If so, he's got a lot
of nerve calling himself the "High Pachyderm"! Quite a lofty title
for one who's skin is stretched to just this side of its tensile
breaking point.
Sure, I know ol' Puffy, had a few binges with the old goat myself.
You just don't want to be near him when the stray micro-meteor happens
to pierce his dermis. Much, MUCH messier than eight crates of cornbob
filled to the brim with radioactive gorilla poop, I can assure you!
