AL? AL PACA? Damn, I haven't seen You since high school! So, how's the sweater business?

ExDread I'm pretty sure Santa gets them. How else do You think "He knows when You are sleeping"?

Who here is pronouncing it ee-moo, and who's saying eem-you? Think carefully; much pain results from a wrong answer.

Wow, did I really butcher the spelling of Alpachas that bad?

Albert Paca phoned. He wants you to stop using his name.

As far as I know, it's 'alpaca', not 'alpacha'. There also exist llamas ('yamas') and vicunas (with the ~ over the n). This is what happens when we let the Spanish name animals.

At least the Welsh weren't involved. With that spelling, llamas would be called 'klamas', only instead of a k-sound, it's more like a hairball sound.

Bloody brythonics.

ExDread OOPS too much beer, too much work. The way I read it at 1st, I thought it said "where are they sent to?".
My appologies everyone.

Stupid
It could be Jurasik Park, but that's a different type of dinosaur. It's right next door to Katsulas Park. At first they tried to drive each other out of business, but then they just started bickering like the Odd Couple. They're still damn fine actors, I mean parks.

MrSquiggly Say, do you have a pencil in your nose?
I know that no one in Australia says ee-moo.

I know that too, which is why I asked. Eem-you is the proper Aussie pronounciation. Ee-moo is just illiteracy. It's like calling Deutschland "Germany".

o/~Here's Mr. Squiggle, he's lots of fun for everyone
Here's Mr. Squiggle, sing a happy tune.o/~
Etc.

Ahh, I understand now.

Good, 'cause I've got that song stuck in my head now.

That show's been going for 40 years. I'm still impressed that a guy leaning over the top of a set can draw pictures with a puppet's nose.

This almost sounds like it could make a childrens book. "The Little Lost Emus" or something. If they were llamas, that would work with the title better...

Shostie
You mean, of course, the Llittle Llost Llamas.

"Llook out, Llarry! It's the llandllord!" - Llamas at home, The Far Side.

Well, yeah. But these are emus we're dealing with. How about a 50's-themed horror flick entitled, "The Encounter with the Enormous Escaped Emus!"

<i>Bondith, you made me spit Sierra Mist out my nose, it burns, I no longer like you.</i>

I've turned HTML off. You get the idea.

<*makes chalk mark on wall*>

Aww, and we were getting on so well, too.

Dare I ask what Sierra Mist is?

Well, there's a WHOLE lot more than a "trio" of the damn ugly birds running loose here in Michigan.

I was driving to work one morning, and had one run out across the road in front of me once.

Seems there were a lot of farmers in the area (Southeast- to mid- Michigan) who got caught up in the Emu ranching craze 15 years ago; when the market panned out, many lost track of the things and they ran wild. There aren't many predators to take care of them, either.

...oh, and on a totally different track, I heard there are about 23,000 EMUs on the loose in Ypsilanti.
