The Elephant in the Room

[Sashamorning]

This has been bugging me for a while, so I'm just gonna hang it out there (so to speak)...

I know that Elite Dangerous is not the first game in the series, but I strongly prefer referring to the game as "Elite" rather than any other abbreviation. I don't know anyone out there who would honestly admit to "having ED" or "liking ED".

There I said it. I can rest peacefully now.

OR!

you can call it ED and realize you're talking about the game and not the dysfunction.....

Because that's what you'd be doing.

Context of subject defines the abbreviation.

And now that I've completely sucked the fun out of your post, I hope that you have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

I'm trying to see the link with an elephant. It's not another thread about elephant butt leather, is it?

 

[Kamiyoda]

We should come up with better analogies

Something to do with the trunk, I think.

The ads in the ED subreddit can be pretty entertaining.

What about an elephant with ED?

I didn't even make the ED/erectile dysfunction connection until just reading this post.

I know a guy named Ed, does he have to do with anything mentioned here?

I don’t know, how’s his old chap getting on?


.....or have I misread the thread?

I played the original Elite when I was young... Elite is legendary.

And Elite Dangerous totally succeeded in catching the spirit of the original Elite.

So yes... Elite it is.

I think the next Odyssey reveal should have a middle aged man and woman tending to their hydroponics farm, then their hands brush and the narrator says something about being ready when the time is right.

Frontier: First Encounters had the best ships, it's the only version with waggly tail ship technology.

Sure, that's what she said...

What's wrong with talking about ED?

I'm just wondering how long it is going to stay up. This thread I mean.

Talking of Elephants:

I have said this before. I don't want an 'auto-launch'. I want a troop Elephants, to pick up my ship, off of the pad and then carry it to the mail slot and then carefully push it out into space.

All of which should be cared for in total luxury until their natural demise. Then the skins can be humanly removed and sold at exorbitant prices, to those extravagant enough to afford such foolish indulgences.

...sucked the fun out...

I'd say as long as it lasts. I know it's a hard subject to discuss, but it's something that we should come to grips with sooner or later.

...and not necessarily sooner.

Elephant + abbreviation = EBL
