I can puzzle
over this for hours. I can puzzle over
this until my perineum is sore. So far,
my best conclusions are: “…one spit-roasted and served over a bed of greens with
steak fries.” I also like “…one with its
skull cleaned out and placed on the head of a staff as I stand over a pit of
bleating, terrified llamas and ask them to slather the ointment on their skin or else they
get the hose again.”
Admittedly, neither
is real catchy. That’s why it’s a good
meditation mantra. There’s no bad
answer (as long as the llama ends up dead.)
But then I see this uplifting story of a llama given a prosthetic leg so
that it could walk again. T' hell?
Do you know
how many hours I’ve spent devising this animals destruction to then have to
suffer this “feel good” story? The same
people that made the prosthetic tail for Winter the dolphin (as seen in Dolphin Tale movie) are behind this. Here I
thought they were the good guys. What
do you call a llama with only three legs?
A good start. Or 3/4ths of a waste of space but getting better. Or, one dinner down, three to go. I imagine llama meat is very succulent and
lean. I hear their cold, dead black eyes
taste like cherries. Why aren’t we
eating these animals? Why aren’t we
using their long necks for a line of llama neck bed lamps? And what’s the deal with those necks? It’s like a llama is a glued together donkey
body on a half giraffe neck. They should
be called a Halfraffekey.
At the very
least, let’s stop fitting them with cheetah striped fake limbs so they can walk
again and continue their menacing existence. We don't do that for a half smushed cockroach.
Next thing
you know, the filthy beasts will want to run and race. What do you do with a llama with a prosthetic
limb? It’ll be like Oscar Pistorius all
over again. Can he run in the regular
Llamalympics or will he have to go in the Parallamalympics?*
No cheetah stripes. A shame. |
I might just
be a little ornery today. Due to a busy
schedule and other personal reasons (possibly related to my meditation pose), I’ve
been unable to run for 12 days. It feels
like 12 years. I feel like I should be
on The Biggest Loser. It’s the longest
non-running streak I’ve been on in over 6 years. It’ll all come to an end tomorrow as I’ll be
able to hit the road for several miles but, man, it’s been tough. And then to see the whole MIRACLE WALKING
LLAMA thing…
In the
meantime, I’ve come up with an exciting and delicious recipe for roasted llama souls to share
with you. Best served with a fruity
cabernet.
- Kill 15 llamas and harvest their souls.
- Drink a fruity cabernet.
Feel free to
use “The only good llama…” as a starter for your own meditation mantra. Be careful, don’t get lost in the double ll’s
– presumptuous beast, ohhh, I need TWO L’s in MY name because One.Won't. Do. – and split open your
perineum. You’ll be (theoretically) on the shelf for 12
days.
If the
Hangar Clinic isn’t too busy working with the wonderful, can-do-no-wrong llamas, it'd be nice if they could come up with a prosthetic human perineum. Don’t want to bother them with all of their
useful and important llama work though.
Your turn. Get into The Perineum Tickler and consider: The Only
Good Llama is….(fill in the rest)
KummerLama.
KummerLama.
Happy
trails.
Based on the
poll results so far from my last post, the leader seems to be concern for my
lack of fixing the lattice fencing pieces.
You would think that, with 12 days away from running, I’d get that
done. You’d be wrong. And I see many of you are bashful about calling yourself a "race-ist"...at least in the comments. Don't worry, I know who you are. And, Danny, don't worry, I can't possibly drive any more readers from this blog.

I share your dislike of llamas. I've hated their necks with a passion for years. Every time I see one I want to jump over their fence and punch them in the neck. Thanks for the funny post, I was having a long day today and this lightened the load a little, actually a lot. The only good llama is one that's running away after I just punched it in the neck.
The only good llama is the one ruining your day. Hope your taint heals fast. Cheers!
dammit, you're like the older long lost twin brother I never wanted - I just went from April 23 to May 4 without running a mile.
The worst part of not running for 12 days? When you start running every day again, every run feels like the hangover from hell - stiff, achy, sore
Happy birthday to the Nitwife!!!! Sorry you haven't been able to run. That totally bites the big one. Good luck this weekend with your run and hopefully with fixing your lattice fencing. :-)
Damn, had the best answer ever then realized I was thinking of the one "L" lama and not the two "L" llama.
The only good llama is the one that stuck that birthday greeting to your wife at the end of the post.
That'll do, pig.
Lucky Llama with a magic leg. What is your real excuse for not running for 12 days? How you gonna break that 5:38 mile?
And I think Llamas are great for carrying your shit if you're trekking. Right? That might be a good Llama. I mean they can haul all your Onesies and cheetoes :)
Go for a run Nitmos!
