I swear I saw those same Aplacas at the Taste of Gahanna....

They actually have to have a fan by them at all times during the summer so they don't overheat.

I'm sure those things cost a fortune to maintain in Columbus. It's not like they are a native species or anything.

People still believe TV commercials? I can't remember the last time I ever bought or did something due to a TV commercial.

They're like a cross breed between a retarded camel and a giant poodle.

I literally can't keep a straight face when looking at one.

I know a hot, sexy young 19yo girl.

Oh yea... as i was saying.... Her parents have an alpaca farm. She says they are the coolest, funniest, goofiest creatures ever and they are very nice and civil.

There was a dirty jobs episode that featured an alpaca shearer. It was a decent ep, but those alpacas live the good life. They don't get killed, just frolic and feed on grass all day on a huge beautiful ranch in Montana and then get shaved.
