They Eat Llamas, Don't they?

Over on llamasutra's favorite prime-time cooking competition, Top Chef, the contestants were challenged to cook with "strange proteins" last night. Everything from duck tongue (staple here in China), to duck testicles, labeled confoundingly as duck white kidneys, to crocodile. One lucky contestant got the roast llama, and managed to make her way into the top 3. Although normally llamasutra would be inherently opposed to eating our furry friend and main topic of conversation, in this instance, they had a pretty good showing.

Lets *Steam* our way through some more amazing commercials

I've said it before, but these Stanley Steemer commercials are pretty fantastic. Not only are they edumacating the masses about alpacas, they are doing so in a way that only somewhat relevantly sells their product, something I appreciate in a good commercial. Kind of like Betty White playing football to sell Snickers.

Anyways, If I had any carpet, or a home for that matter, I would allow Stanley Steemer to steam the alpaca and/or llama shit right out.

Llama Fire

It's a well-documented fact that llamas have a penchant for getting themselves on the local news. Now I don't want to insinuate anything, but when an RV hauling a llama trailer suddenly catches fire, blocking traffic on a freeway for several hours, in a slow-news region, on a holiday weekend, everybody knows there's a good chance reporters with cameras will be there. Suspicious.

"The drivers of the RV say they were heading to Minocqua when they saw white smoke and pulled over. Soon after the RV was engulfed in flames. Passerbys helped the family get their llama out and tried to put out the fire while waiting for firefighters.

The RV is destroyed."

Take it away WSAW reporters! Handsome, albeit pissed llama on the freeway rumble strip shot about 40 seconds in (sorry about the ad playing in the beginning, we all know local reporters work so hard for the money).



Confidential to news staff: The llama's usually ridiculous name is a pertinent, if not the main aspect to any solid story involving llamas.
