Rhinos are often surprised by how narrow the aisles are in China Shoppes.
Just sayin’…

Play MONOPOLY Day
That’s right! This is it! A day to hone your skills and lose your temper at this board game, invented in 1903 by Elizabeth Magie, later published by Parker Brothers in 1935.
Rhinos venture to play this game at a distinct disadvantage. We own nothing, so the intricacies of bartering and economics are mostly meaningless.
Still, anything with little plastic houses and colorful paper money can’t be all bad, right?
Trailblazing
Sir Wm. S. Gilbert (b.1836), of Gilbert & Sullivan fame, wrote the books, dialogue, and lyrics for the pair’s many hugely successful operettas. Their talents complimented one another in every way. For most people, they exist primarily as a unit: Gilbert&Sullivan. Their influence on musical theatre has been profound.
Of course, Rhinos did not sing their songs to themselves before G&S wrote them; for that pleasure We had to wait. But We have made up for the delay with vigor. As clever as clever can be!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Gilbert. And thank you.
Puttin’ on the Ritz
Rhinos have many Social Possibilities, public personae for all occasions. We call it Sophistication, whatever others may label it.
For some critters, it might be exhausting. But Rhinos are built tough.
We glitter naturally.

Rhinos do not fly in the usual way, at least Not Yet.
It could be argued that Rhinos are not meant to fly ever, simply because We have not done it to date, that We know of. But there’s the hitch, right? Maybe We have flown all over the place when We weren’t paying attention, long ago. Our RAncestors may have suppressed that part to keep Us cheerful today.
So our hopes are high! Optimism is a Rhino Duty, ask anybody.

Makes your blood run cold, right?!?
Fill ‘er Up!
Today is National Candy Corn Day. Candy Corn was “created” by Mr. George Renninger of the Wunderle Candy Company in the 1880s. Like it or not, everybody knows what it is.
The illustration does not truly represent the confectioner’s art; it is more in the spirit of the Halloween season.
Another Conversation Stopper, brought to you by Your Inner Rhino.
Thanks, say We
Today, October 20, marks the third Anniversary of Your Inner Rhino.com.
We are going with the patchwork look, that being the nature of our presentation. A bit of this, a shred of that, loosely stitched together with whatever comes to hand.
As always, We are grateful for your continued Attention. Tell your friends, bully your relatives, collar complete strangers. Semper Rhino.
Back in the Saddle Again
The YIR Staff is on the job, sharing the usual breathtaking Rhino Insights with our Readers, one and all.
Hooray for all of Us.
On the Road Again
We are taking a Your Inner Rhino break, and will assemble back in the office early next week. Keep the faith, Pardners.
Calendars don’t make a lot of sense since Rhinos can’t count, but you get the idea…
