ROFL!
I didn't know anyone else knew about that!
I was planning on doing a poster based on that and slipping it in with the ones the kids will do for their Educational Projects and see if any of them noticed the gag.

Yes!
My daughter has one like that.
I see you've met him.
Yes, as did Mr. Corwin.
*Evil laughter*
Hi, Tia!
Question about llamas: what's the deal with the llama with two heads thing? What's the joke to that? I've seen old cartoons, new photoshopped photos, and all are llama with a head and neck on each end. What am I missing there?
I tried to get the original spanish lyrics.
Cuidado!!!!
That thing is the "PushmePullyu" from the Doctor Doolittle books, and later it was in the Rex Harrison movie of the same name.
It had two heads, one on each end, and was a poor confused beastie that could never decide where it was going.
It occurs to me that a two-headed llama is easier to clean up after!
LOL!
;-)
A two headed llama would be twice the trouble though.
Two heads full of llama-y mischiief.
Now I gotta quote the esteemed biologist and llama scholar Ogden Nash on the subject:
The one-L lama, he's a priest
The two-L llama, he's a beast
But I will bet a silk pajama
There isn't any three-L lllama.
And the footnote: "The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh."
Twice the spitting.
If you have never experianced it, llama spit is VILE. The smell is horrendous, and the stuff is often green and gloppy and it STICKS.
The smell is bad enough to drive you right out of a show-tent with all of the sides rolled up on a breezy Spring day. I gag when it happens, but I'm allergic to llamas anyway.
AND the critters have very accurate aim, and they can be vengeful.
Can you get one of your llamas to wear a burka?????
NEVER EVER laugh at a llama.
And never feed one a marshmallow.
Hi Xena!
I was wondering who would post that!
I like the llama topiaries in "The Sims".
Llamas seem to be a running gag in that game.
LOL
No, but I'll try to hum a few bars. ....hehehehehehe....
Actually, two years ago, in the 4-H Animal Costume Contest, there was a boy who dressed up as an Arab Sheik, and dressed his llama as a harem girl, with a little round hat and a guazy veil over the llama's nose.
(It was very fetching with her long eye-lashes!)
So not quite a burka, and I don't recall if he got a prize or not.
If I had had a camera handy, I would have taken their picture.
