Llama, llama, duck

I'm off to find llama yarn so I can make not just Coquena the llama, but Coquena the llama llama. 


"...fuzzy llama
funny llama
llama llama 

duck..."

Again, it's all Rebecca Danger's fault and it started with alpaca alpacas. I'll be knitting another one since my good friend, Amy, sent me some great alpaca colored alpaca yarn.  Soon I'll need to find bison yarn for Delicious Crochet's American Bison pattern. Somehow in a drowsy state I came across the Llama song. Well, I was looking for llama photos to try and decide on colors.


"...llama
llama llama
mushroom
llama
llama llama
duck..."


 it's more than a song, it's a flash video, and apparently will go on forever until I close that tab.


"...half a llama
twice the llama
not a llama
farmer
llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama
llama
duck..."

It's quirky, it's catchy, it's completely illustrated and captioned - check it out! the Llama song

Not that I could (or would want to) illustrate the whole song, but I do have a great duck pattern already: Duggie Duck, by Carola van Groen, creator of the Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus pattern.

I'm too sleepy to be anything but silly, so listening to this song suits me fine right now.

Merry Christmas, if it's not yet the next day.

I can't stop laughing!

It sure is nice to laugh loudly and uncontrollably every once in a while.  I've been so disappointed and stressed lately and had a lot of aggravation this afternoon, in particular.  The helpful insurance woman at the pharmacy called me around 3:00 pm, after which I called my doctor's office, insurance, pharmacy again... By 5:06 pm I'd been on the phone or on hold for more than two hours.

Queue local news broadcast, the 5:30 portion and I'm watching behind real time via DVR magic.  Channel 10's Beau Zimmer is reporting on the new extended TSA pat-down protocols and interviewing passengers at Tampa International Airport about their experiences.   He explained that the new protocols provoked mixed responses with the additional qualification that women tended to be more likely than men to find the changes objectionable.

Suddenly I hear a woman identified as passenger Perky Olson lamenting, "until the lady came over with the plastic gloves I had no idea."  And I burst into laughter.
