================================
IMAGINE:
A WHITE ROGUE ELEPHANT,
ON STEROIDS,
VIAGRA,
AND ROE-GAIN...
A CIRCUS ANIMAL
RUNNING AROUND THE BIG TOP
IN CIRCLES
CHASING THE CLOWNS
AND FRIGHTENING THE CROWD.

"I love it.
The Greatest Show on Earth.
Cause I AM an ALIEN called, E.T.
And Remember,
I always be right here;
even if I AM not all there."
A white elephant is an idiom for a valuable but burdensome possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is out of proportion to its usefulness or worth. The term derives from the story that the kings of Siam (now Thailand) were accustomed to make a present of one of these animals to courtiers who had rendered themselves obnoxious, in order to ruin the recipient by the cost of its maintenance. In modern usage, it is an object, scheme, business venture, facility, etc., considered to be without use or value.
