This is kind of cool. If you drive to the Wild Safari Animal Park in Winston, Oregon (the SW part of the state), and pay $20, you can get your car washed by an elephant named Tiki.

And if you have $750, you can have a wedding at Wild Safari Park, with Tiki the Elephant serving as your ring-bearer -- cool picture of Tiki at this website

I'm not sure of how Tiki earned her name - she was born in 1970, at the tail-end of the original Poly-Pop era. I guess there were too many Jumbos at that time.

Next step ..... train the elephants in the use of a cocktail shaker ... it would be really cool to drink a mai-tai made by Tiki the elephant.
