llamas

[Shadowrat]

Llamas are totally awesome. Their muscle fibers are 180x more densely packed than a chimpanzee. Llamas can easily lift a million times their own weight.

Llamas were once studied extensively by alchemists. Their digestive system turns everything they eat into gold. The mayans kept herds of llamas to produce all the gold they needed for their cities. Sadly, llamas will only produce gold with a steady stream of human sacrifice.

Llamas have a 6 chambered stomach. One of the chambers houses a hive of symbiotic bees! The bees use nectar from the flowers the llamas eat to produce honey. The honey provides llamas with energy for their imense bursts of strengnth and speed.

Llamas can reach speeds of a hundred thousand feet per second!

When threatened, Llamas will often cough up a swarm of bees to confuse and potentially kill their attackers.

Llamas communicate via ultra low frequency vibrations created by tapping their feet on the ground. Llamas are able to keep in touch with other llamas across the pacific ocean.

Llamas have defended South America from ninjas for thousands of years.

Llamas have been known to mimic whale songs in order to lure humpback whales to the beaches of argentina. the Llamas don't kill the whales however. Instead the llamas lay their eggs on the unsuspecting whales.

The parasitic llama larvae live in the whales until they are caught by japanese whalers. When eaten by the japanese the llama larvae assume a new host and create anime until they are mature.

they then sprout wings and fly back to south america to live in the andes and solve differential equations.

Llamas are awesome!

Llamas are legally allowed to drive in 13 countries without a valid license.

Members of one particular species of Leafcutter llama can cross deep rivers and streams by climbing on top of one another, forming a giant llama-ball, which will float on top of the water, carrying the llamas to the other side of the river.

Llamas are impervious to fire.

Llamas are Republican by nature.

Inhabitants of the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu were, until recently, believed to have been wiped out by a smallpox epidemic. In 2008, scholars from the University of Lima have corrected a long-standing mistranslation of an ancient Incan text that disproves this claim. In one particular passage, a phrase was mistranslated as "plauge of little hills", which was thought to be an Incan name for smallpox. The corrected translation of the phrase was "The llamas are coming and they have weapons", leading researchers to the obvious conclusion that llamas were to blame for the abandonment of the city.

If you see a llama, make sure you warn everybody to get out of the water quickly.

To Bill Braskey! I mean llamas!

[Budly]

Llamas wrote, produced, directed and starred in Monty Python And The Holy Grail! The costumes were most human-like and the production top notch!

[Kermit]

In Soviet Russia, Llamas shave YOU!

[armerius]

Llamas are responsible for the world financial crisis

[Temujin]

Your mama is a llama!

[Tai]

confirmed today. The two above will be coming to live with us. :)

[Circuit]

Arm and Temujin are going to live with Tai? :eek:

[armerius]

YAY!!! VACATION!!!!

when do you send me the airline tickets?

[Tai]

Well, I *have* been trying to gather a collection of serfs. Are you volunteering? :) *






* Note: This position comes with no pay, no health benefits, and the weekly duties of mucking out the barn and anything else I can think of. (Help help, I'm being oppressed would be appropriate).

[armerius]

hmmm... a choral and theater director or a serf.

honestly, it's a choice between slave wages and slavery...

not much difference there...

[Paladin]

Tai's offer would get you out of New Jersey. Something I've done and highly recommend...

[armerius]

ya know, i actually live in a very nice part of NJ.

now i know that's like saying i live in an air conditioned apartment in hell, so why move to heaven, but hey... i like it.

[Tai]

Yay for the nice parts of New Jersey! :)

[Tai]

Getting the llamas home is going to be fun. We have been researching our options (http://www.againsttheherd.com/images/personal/farm/LLamas/llamacaroj2.jpg). =P

[Tai]

They are here! :)

[Tick]

So how many animals/what kind do you have now?

[Tai]

I believe it is something like:

1 dog
2 llamas
4 goats
5 sheep

[Kermit]

Did the wild animals get all your chickens? I thought you had them in a coop.

[Tai]

7 of the chickens were eaten by a pair of eastern gray foxes. the 8th was either a fox or a cat. but yeah, the fowl were munched. =/ We plan on getting new ones in the spring.

[Paladin]

I believe it is something like:

1 dog
2 llamas
4 goats
5 sheep

And a partridge in a pear tree!


Oh, c'mon. You were all thinking it. You know you were.

[Tai]

I almost added 3 feral cats, 6 red tailed hawks, 7 turkey vultures, ...

[Kermit]

I'm a utilitarian, if you can't eat it or cuddle with it, I don't want to know.

[Tai]

as a utilitarian, you forgot "wear it". :)

[Kermit]

My hat made of cat? Or perhaps my gopher loafers?

Other than getting some chickens back, sounds to me like you have a very nice menagerie. The llamas look much more comfy for the winter with thier full coats (which most people don't realize is actually where steel wool comes from).

[Tai]

(which most people don't realize is actually where steel wool comes from).

Another utilitarian use!! :thumbup:

[Creole Ned]

Look at the steel wool on his head. That is high-quality stuff there.

[Tai]

That's not a llama. We all at least agree that llamas have (at least) 4 feet.

[Falhawk]

that's the king of lamas
