In honour of my return from #tek23, I gathered up my collection of elephpants to share with you. I am looking to trade some of the doubles so let me know. 1/X
First is the large version of Molly, the wooly mammoth elephpant from my old conference, TrueNorthPHP 2/x
The phpday elephpant and the latest phparch elephpant 3/x
A ConFoo elephpant (gotten through trades as I was banned from the event for several years) and a red Zend one. I have two of the red Zend ones, looking to trade. 4/x
A SiteGround elephpant and the original prototype for the wooly mammoth elephpant 5/x
Heroku and PHP Roundtable elephpants 6/x
A Zend 7 elephpant and another phparch one. Willing to trade that phparch one 7/x
PHP Yorkshire elephpant and yet another red Zend one (available in trade) 8/x
A blue Zend elephpant and a Firefox I got while working at Mozilla 9/x
PHP Amsterdam and Laravel elephpants 10/x

SunshinePHP and PHP Women elephpants 12/x
@grmpyprogrammer Does the pink one have the PHP Women logo on the other side? I have purple ones that do, but I’m not sure they made the pink ones.
@ramsey It does not have a logo but I was making an assumption.
@grmpyprogrammer My memory is failing me on this, but some of the folks from #PHPWomen might have worked with @dseguy to create the original pink #elephpant back in 2006 or 07. Depending on where this pink one came from, it could be part of that run, or it could be the later one produced by OpenGoodies.
@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer There were two generations of pink, one with nexen, one with opengoodies. They have distinct fur, so if the bum tag is not there anymore, you can send me a picture and I'll tell you.
PHP women was a separate generation, made later. No or little relationship between the two.
I remember that the pink was a request for babies, along with traditional colors. It probably started like this.
@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer a... now that I read the thread again, I think you can check the bum tag. It looks very pink and is probably a 1rst pink generation. My guess.
