Strange Things That Scared You (But Aren't Obviously 'Scary')

[Mythopoeika]

These jokes are a-llama-ing.

 

[Dinobot]

I don't believe you.
It would be almost impossible to get one sent to 'scargs 'in the post'.

Almost being the operative word....

And now, if you will excuse me, I am off to the post office....

Do you spit or swallow?

Do you spit or swallow?

Neither, we are both cultured....

Depends who was being the llama that night.

Was looking for a llama spit warning sign but this is better.

Don't you just llove llamas. Obviously spitting right in your face is a sign of affection. Humans are just so weird they don't get it.

I think the llama was irritated by the kid sticking his face into its space. It was just relaxing and chewing its cud. Kid starts to bug it.

Ms P attended a wedding last year at a converted farm venue. Had some animals for the kids to stroke one of which was a llama. The bride was terrified of it but the animal appeared to love the groom and would not be separated from him. Consequently many of the photos included the llama resting it's head on the groom's shoulder and peering at the cameras. They can be lovely affectionate creatures.

the llama was irritated

Someone should've calmed it down.

This a link to an advert for the Fiat Strada from 1979, showing the cars being assembled by robots. It gave me the creeps at the time, particularly the spray painting robot. Even now I don't like it, although I now see it as part of dystopian world yet to come.

Why let the kid stare eyeball to eyeball at the Llama. Surely it's perceived as aggression to many mammals.

Funny that the parent (presumably) just kept on filming until the inevitable happened. They were probably thinking 'how long do I have to wait for that llama to spit in my kid's face?'

Lovely parents, eh?

Is it still £250 they pay on "You've Been Framed" ? I hope they bought the poor kid some Lego out of it, at least.

You gotta learn some time, though the parents were probably just as clueless.

it was the mean chuckle just after the spit that got to me

it was the mean chuckle just after the spit that got to me

I have to admit that I would have laughed. It is kind of like when something unexpected happens to someone else like hitting a thumb with a hammer, I tend to laugh and then ask if they are ok. I just can’t stop myself.

Though, I would have noticed that the llama had put its ears back - a definite sign of irritation - and would have warned the kid to stand further back. He had questions and unfortunately neither parent knew the answers. He asked what was the llama doing (ruminating) and mom said she didn’t know. He was curious.

In some circles, I believe it would be called 'getting the money shot' - though as I understand it, this only rarely involves a llama.

I'm not sure we can be certain that these are the boys parents. I don't hear them called mum or dad at any point.
It seems more like the actions of "your Uncle Dave" who was always known for being a bit spiteful.

You know my Uncle Dave?

 

[kesavaross]

At least the spit was environmentaly friendly spit.

They're all called Dave, aren't they? Uncles.

My Uncle Dave was called Dave.
And so was his wife.

My Uncle Dave liked to be called Loretta. On Saturday nights, anyway.

I had an Uncle Bob. When people said 'and Bob's your uncle!' I'd wonder what it had to do with him.
