The Elephant, The Foreign Object, and a Long Cup of Coffee

You remember that old joke, "How do you hide an elephant in a jelly bean jar? Paint its toenails."

Meanwhile, I'm starting to hear noises about a 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons, and hell yeah I'm going exactly where you think I'm going to.

Stop laughing, you insensitive bastards!
