Somethin' Stupid, And Not By Frank And Nancy Sinatra

And now for something completely different...

A Circus Girl being spanked by her Elephant.

Now, you may ask, "What's the story here?!"  Well, that's for you to decide, and share below, if you'd like.  I can't always come up with everything around here, y'know. 

Here's some musical accompaniment:

But the actual inspiration for this was viewing an episode of "The Hollywood Palace" from the 60's that's now on YouTube.   Who else would see a performing elephant and think of that cartoon?

In case you're "very" young, "The Hollywood Palace" was a variety show-- sort of Vaudeville for television-- in which each week, a different Big Star would host a show full of singers, dancers, comics, animal acts, people on top of eighty-foot poles, and more.  

It's still pretty entertaining, so you should check it out on YouTube, especially because these old tapes include the original commercials for cigars, cigarettes, margarine, floor wax, and hair care products. (Holey Socks, I used "Groom 'N' Clean" in 7th grade!!  Then I switched to "Vitalis," then I desisted altogether..)

I suppose some Xmas 'Toons will be showing up here soon!
