Elf No Longer On A Shelf

It has been a rough couple of years for the Elf On The Shelf that joined our family.  To be fair, he kind of brings these hard times upon himself with some of his hijinks.  Over the last few weeks he has gotten trapped in the pantry while trying to steal pretzels, made a toilet paper snowman, stole some breakfast cereal, assembled the other stuffed friends for story time, got trapped in the Christmas tree lights, tangled up in a hammock over the stairs and created a zip line from the kitchen lights to the Christmas tree.  Mostly harmless stuff, I suppose.  It also generally gets a good laugh out of The Heir Apparent and Crown Prince.  However, while these little tricks seem to have found a captive audience with the younger members of the house, the elf still has a terrible relationship with some of the wrestlers that he shares the living space with.  After having some terrible run-ins with Brock Lesnar and Terry Funk, The Elf decided to try and smooth things out by agreeing to an interview with Rowdy Roddy Piper.  However, just when The Elf thought he knew all the answers, Hot Rod changed the questions.  While it might not look as impressive as a coconut, a chocolate Christmas ball in the hands of the Rowdy One can be just as devastating.  The photograph was taken at f/16, 3/5sec, ISO 6400 at 59mm.  It's a good thing that The Elf will be returning to the North Pole soon, it will give him a chance to heal up and get ready for next year.  Maybe Santa can teach him some manners to avoid another similar episode next year.
