And your little elephant too?

[Rick Cave]

Does it have a name?

[Mary Hinge]

Does it have a name?

Not yet, but here's a transcript of the cutesy Facebook discussion (it's a Thai elephant):

Zooey 1: should call it âi nŏo!!! thai for "Boy"

Zooey 2: I though chai was the word for boy in thai

Zooey 3: just looked it up Dek Chaai is boy, male child, lad...

Zooey 2: Ai Noo is just boy. there are several words. Chaai is cute too!!!

Zooey 4: what do you think suits him - personality-wise? do u guys hav a nickname for him??

Zooey 5: I thing tong Chaay- or tong chai- golden boy....

Mary Hinge: Dek Chaai sounds like Deck Chair, and Ai Noo sounds like a cry of self defence outside a Glasgy night club... can we call him Kipper?




Taronga Zoo is inviting suggestions from the public via the website, so you should send one in. I am sticking to Kipper as it is a kind of Thai

[Rick Cave]

I like some of them.
Dek Chaai works best.
First they'll laugh. Then they'll ask why?

Dat's me vote, Carol.

[Busta]

Erumbulus Ponternickle III is my vote

[Roark]

He should be named Fuckarse. Fuckarse the benevolent elephant.

[Mr John]

Oh yeah, I found that classic moment in Ponderland, in the next post.


*not a double post accident, honest*

[Mr John]
