The History of Elmo

Well, anyone who took part in the 2005 season of excavation, knows that the most important figure present at the dig was Elmo.

Elmo was chosen as the official Area E deity after realizing that the “E” in Area E is for Elmo – not Empty. Elmo gaurded over us (see above),

and blessed us with beautiful finds.

Elmo is not one of those selfish deities that is lazy and sits around all day, waiting for others to do the work. No, Elmo helped us excavate,

and even helped us take hieghts.

we were grateful to Elmo, and we let the world know it.

Of course, there are always jealos people, who will remain nameless (you pebbles know who you are!!!), and Elmo was kidnapped, tortured and held hostage. little did these feeble-minded evil-doers know that they were being punished all along (what – did you think falling off the balk was an accident). Elmo returned to us quickly, an we traveled the world with him.

Since the summer, more than 6 months have passed, and Elmo remains in hearts and minds as we await the upcoming season. Of course, its not sure that he will be back with us. Elmo is once agin being held hostage, and this time, im not sure we’ll be able to get him back!!
