Is there room enough for comments on this photo?

Because the joke possibilities are endless! [singsong]

And what’s with all the shearing posts lately? I mean, what’s the deal with that? [Seinfeld voice]

LOL…who knew a lama could look like a dork?

2 Jessie 06.20.06 at 5:08 pm

Awww, too cute :)
PS. JEEY, first comment :)

3 ShelleyTambo 06.20.06 at 5:09 pm

Oh that’s just wrong… although he does look like he’s smiling…

4 Lora 06.20.06 at 5:09 pm

its a q-tip!!!

5 Koneko 06.20.06 at 5:09 pm

*first comment dance*

Would this fall under “head too big for body” category? ^_^

6 bluepaintred 06.20.06 at 5:10 pm

hehehehe look at his wittle teeth!

7 Koneko 06.20.06 at 5:10 pm

Dammit!

8 Redzilla 06.20.06 at 5:12 pm

Awww…it’s a little gap-tooth hillbilly lama: “Howdy, my name’s Cletus. And this here’s my maw.”

9 A thinker 06.20.06 at 5:13 pm

no. no.

That is *not* a popsicle-sized unshorn llama head on top of a skinny shorn llama neck.

I lol’d.

10 KM 06.20.06 at 5:13 pm

This looks disturbingly like a kid I went to high school with. Come to think of it..he did smell a little like a llama….

11 Nickole 06.20.06 at 5:14 pm

I think there should be a “head too big for neck”-category.

The whiplash possibilities are huge, so he should at least get a lot of points for cuteness.

12 A thinker 06.20.06 at 5:14 pm

AHhahahahahaHAhahahahahahHAHAHA

/I cannot stop laughing at this photo.

13 greenighs 06.20.06 at 5:15 pm

lolipop llama! :D

14 Mary 06.20.06 at 5:16 pm

HOLY BUGGER!
That is so cute!!!

15 A thinker 06.20.06 at 5:17 pm

Man, I wanna photoshop this llama so badly. Maybe when I get home…

16 Tom 06.20.06 at 5:19 pm

My wife pointed it out: he looks like Ryan Stiles of, Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and “The Drew Carey SHow”

17 ebichu 06.20.06 at 5:20 pm

Little known fact about llamas, alpacas and their siblings: they have very soft feet and does not scratch hardwood floors.

18 Teughcats 06.20.06 at 5:21 pm

When Theo’s away, the cute-posters will play – FIRST POST! FIRST POST!
He’ll get you when he comes back!

And the lllama is a ADORABLE q-tip!

19 Arvay 06.20.06 at 5:22 pm

I don’t think that’s a llama–I think it’s an alpaca! And yes, they do have soft feet. I know because I once annoyed one by hugging him, and he kicked me, and it didn’t hurt.

Here are some llamas I harrassed in Peru:
http://www.danceswithrats.com/peru7.html

Po beasties. I bet they wished that obnoxious American would leave them alone!

20 belle 06.20.06 at 5:26 pm

Cute or sad? I mean, really, who wants to look like a q-tip? I think the llama is actually trying to get that point across in the picture, “no, don’t look at me, i’m a q-tip!”.

21 M- 06.20.06 at 5:28 pm

OMG!!!! that poor baby is the dorkiets looking critter I have EVER seen… it’s the Urkle of the animal world!!! *roflmao*

22 cheryl 06.20.06 at 5:33 pm
23 Rebecca 06.20.06 at 5:37 pm

My mother used to say my cousin was so ugly he was cute. Now I know what she meant.

24 jaypo 06.20.06 at 5:39 pm

OMG.

25 Theo 06.20.06 at 5:39 pm

2Cats — who’s where?

26 Jay Fry 06.20.06 at 5:41 pm

I love the geeky, toothy grin. I also love how he’s ‘leaning’ forward, like he’s looking through the bars and saying ‘Hi!’

27 Regina 06.20.06 at 5:45 pm

Someone get that poor baby a sweater!! Like Shawn the sheep!

reg

28 Mike G. 06.20.06 at 5:47 pm

He looks like the Shaggy of the llama/alpaca world.

“Yoiks!”

29 Theo 06.20.06 at 5:50 pm

Y’know I’m pretty sure that this photo is missing a few compositional elements necessary to generate the BIG comments…

30 Bubbles 06.20.06 at 5:52 pm

Whose brilliant idea was it to give that poor alpaca a poodle cut?

31 A thinker 06.20.06 at 5:54 pm

…like a *whisper* “young one of the homo sapiens”?

32 Tiffany 06.20.06 at 5:54 pm

He looks so friendly!

33 Aubrey 06.20.06 at 5:54 pm

Is this little guy’s name Billy?
“Let me introduce to you…”

34 Kathy 06.20.06 at 5:58 pm

No, you guys, he looks like the David Spade-voiced llama from “The Emperor’s New Groove!” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120917/

Pull the lever! Wrong leverrrrrrr!!!!

35 Hannah 06.20.06 at 6:00 pm

OMG THIS THING IS STARING AT ME!!!

36 Anne 06.20.06 at 6:02 pm

Dude, that is one very disturbed alpaca ^_^

37 English Chick 06.20.06 at 6:03 pm

Haha kathy i so agree with you!!

“okay, why does she even HAVE that lever”

38 Arvay 06.20.06 at 6:07 pm
39 Fidget 06.20.06 at 6:10 pm

ROFL! Reminds me of what my chow-chow looked like when we’d shave her for the summer time. Dr Suess animals unite!

40 Lin 06.20.06 at 6:15 pm

He DOES look like Ryan Stiles!!! I wonder if he does improv.

41 Alex 06.20.06 at 6:34 pm

HAHAHA he looks kinda like me…. kinda cute

42 Aubrey 06.20.06 at 6:37 pm

Ryan Stiles?
“Whose Llama Is It Anyway?”

43 Amyvvv 06.20.06 at 6:47 pm

That is freaky! Kind of reminds me of an acid trip I took as a teenager.

44 daphnegirl 06.20.06 at 6:48 pm

Personally, I think he’s a dead ringer for Don Knotts as Mr. Furley…I picture him putting his thumbs in his belt, sniffing, and saying, “waaaal y’know…”

But then maybe I just watched too much TV as a youngster…

45 Svenster 06.20.06 at 6:51 pm

“Ya’know… life in a zoo isn’t all bad. Look at juniors nice furcut, and listen to this: they even have a dental plan! I mean, look at me, do I look as if I could afford braces for this guy as much as I love him. They’ll put it in any day now.”
*continues comfying about in the sand satisfying curious spectators*

46 Sabba 06.20.06 at 6:53 pm

Omg… his little knees are still fluffy. If he stood up, I bet it’d look like he was wearing warmup leggings.

47 Wisefool 06.20.06 at 6:55 pm

Llama lolly.

48 Valeria 06.20.06 at 6:56 pm

It’s Llamapolean Dynamite!!

49 ashley 06.20.06 at 7:02 pm

ew… this is prb why i hate lamas…its so ugly its kinda cute….gross.

50 lemura 06.20.06 at 7:09 pm

Sabba,
That’s not fluff. Those are pockets where he keeps his leftover tater tots from lunch.

51 Teughcats 06.20.06 at 7:11 pm

Oh, hi, Theo. You’ve been kinda “quiet” so I thought maybe you were on vacation.

How did you know that “Teugh” is pronounced “two”? NO ONE gets that right.

52 hedgedog 06.20.06 at 7:13 pm

Looking at the photo of his new offspring, mr deLlama, sales representative in the field of foraging, couldn’t help a spreading doubt about the close friedship which seemed to link his wife with his long high school pal, Joe Poodle…

53 Sabba 06.20.06 at 7:14 pm

Lemura, why didn’t I see it before? That other llama is all, “Hey, lemme have some of your tots!”

54 Laurie C 06.20.06 at 7:15 pm

I guffawed at “Llamapolean Dynamite”. Thanks, Valeria.

55 Theo 06.20.06 at 7:15 pm

2Cats — I *was* out, actually. Family visit.
As for how I know… I don’t, really. ‘Twas an educated guess.

56 marge 06.20.06 at 7:16 pm

you guys! thstop laughing at me! stheriously!

57 xiii.lucky 06.20.06 at 7:21 pm

awww, how precious in an odd and disturbed way! i want one he is too cute!

58 o 06.20.06 at 7:36 pm

Haha, it’s a lloodle!

59 punkpie 06.20.06 at 7:37 pm

HEY TINA! COME GET SOME DINNER!

LMAO!!!! poor lil guy… so cute and dweeby

60 alma 06.20.06 at 7:37 pm

There’s so many pitures posted on this site that make me sqweel ‘favorite!’ but this one takes the cake. The haircut, the overbite, the adorkable expression … Llama geek! Someone get this lil guy some D&D stat!

61 snusnu 06.20.06 at 7:39 pm

There could be a thousand Emperor’s New Groove jokes:

“I’m a stupid, stinking llama! Llama face!”

I, for one, am desperately in love with this little feller and want to take him home.

62 DavidBoBavid 06.20.06 at 7:45 pm

it’s a real shame those bars are in the way, because with that facial expression, that would be the best msn/aim picture ever!

63 Aubrey 06.20.06 at 7:50 pm

Bow low before this creature:
The Darling Llama

64 Marla 06.20.06 at 8:00 pm

Such a “special” llama. All it need is some head gear.

65 The Guy Over There 06.20.06 at 8:02 pm

Did “Animal Planet” buy the rights to “Revenge of The Nerds”? o_O

67 E. Collison 06.20.06 at 8:15 pm

Aubrey: groooooaaaaaannnn. [Now I feel *much* better.]

Teughcats, I’d figured out the 1st syllable of your username, thinking it was the same as the 1st syllable of “tewtelly.”

Svenster, I love “comfying about”!!

68 tish 06.20.06 at 8:21 pm

david bo bavid and anyone else who wants it for messengers/avatars, heres a ’shopped version sans bars http://www.blar.org/reverie/example/babyllama-SHOP.jpg

Can anyone see pictures with new Opera 9.0? I get just text without pictures. :(
Everything is fine with IE.

70 beth 06.20.06 at 8:25 pm

I think that is an alpaca. Not a llama. Still cute none the less. They are funny creatures!

71 Snorg 06.20.06 at 8:28 pm

Marla – LOL! …a ’special’ llama!! Love those teeth and he looks like such a friendly teenage llama-dude with a new haircut!! It’s a llama-loaf!!!

72 A thinker 06.20.06 at 8:34 pm

Thanks, tish. To save myself time, I may filch your version if I decide to do something funny with this guy in Photoshop later.

73 pinkle 06.20.06 at 8:34 pm

Two words:
Peter Crouch

74 MLE 06.20.06 at 8:39 pm

It’s an AlPoodle! Imagine it speaking in a French accent…then remember to keep breathing.

75 E. Collison 06.20.06 at 8:52 pm

So far nobody’s mentioned its furry “knees” – they up the ante re. The Cuteness Quotient fer shure.™

76 E. Collison 06.20.06 at 8:53 pm

Oops – supposed to be The Cuteness Quotient™.

77 karen 06.20.06 at 8:56 pm

It’s the Napoleon Dynamite of llamas!

78 Boschka 06.20.06 at 8:56 pm

Oh Lordy…he reminds me of Barney Fife .

” But Ange….”

79 sunnykat 06.20.06 at 8:57 pm

he looks like big bird to me. except he’s not yellow. and goofier-looking.

80 k 06.20.06 at 8:57 pm

He’s so HOMELY!!!! It hurts me in an ‘I-can’t-wipe-the-grin-off-my-face-kind-of-way.’ Much like the video of the hamster who ran so fast he propelled himself out of his wheel. this is right up there for me.

81 christina 06.20.06 at 9:00 pm

oh no! that’s so sad! he looks so awful that he just turned into cute. i want to give him a hug. poor little guy *squeeze!*

82 Klar 06.20.06 at 9:09 pm

Not that it makes any difference but this is an alpaca. Not a llama… They are closly related, (camelids) but alpacas are smaller and have finer fiber… and nicer. I happen to know because I took the original photo. I’m glad to see it here. I thought it was funny when I took it.. It’s like he saying, “why am I locked up in here!” What did I do?

83 Teddy 06.20.06 at 9:11 pm

i want to BE this lama
and i’m not kidding

84 Ponygirl 06.20.06 at 9:18 pm

GAHHHHHHH!!!!

85 connie 06.20.06 at 9:19 pm

Klar – you know this cute little guy? Is he a sweetie??

86 lauren 06.20.06 at 9:23 pm

i can’t decide what’s cuter… the smile! no, the TEETH! no, the EYES!! AAAAAAGGGHGHHH!! definitely cute overload on this one!

87 lilie 06.20.06 at 9:25 pm

Pinkie – maybe we should put the llama/alpaca and shrek on and give crouch and rooney a break?

88 zelda 06.20.06 at 9:26 pm

Llllllllaaaaaama!!

Oh how I adore llamas! I arrange my MN State Fair trip around the llamas and when they’ll be in the barns.

This lil’ fellow looks cute and dorky. Wish I could pet him!!

89 Lillith 06.20.06 at 9:26 pm

Another vote for the Napolean Dynomite look alike contest.

I wonder if he spent the summer hunting wolverines in Alaska?

90 Aubrey 06.20.06 at 9:26 pm

An Alpaca? Really? Pooh. And I was all ready to say something about crossing the Himallamas. Oh well, thanks for the sweet photo regardless, Klar.

And Theo – good to hear from you, my brother.

91 Valeria 06.20.06 at 9:34 pm
92 chackler 06.20.06 at 9:35 pm

Looks a lot like my senior year picture from 1988!

93 arbed 06.20.06 at 9:57 pm

Oh, I want to laugh, really I do. But gosh darn it, I just got back from having some tooth fillings fixed and, well, owwwwwiiiiieeeee!

/heehee funny alpaca!

94 Allie 06.20.06 at 10:17 pm

Oh what a dorky llama. It reminds me of me when my bangs were growing out and I wore hairclips. Thankfully not at the same time as the headgear (which this llama needs! It would be the best!).

Arvay, I think the animals at Machu Pichu are so used to humans that they see them as part of the natural cycle of things. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows, sometimes silly people come up and take pictures of them… I have a few similar pics somewhere from my trip there.

95 Klar 06.20.06 at 10:19 pm

I do know this little guy. He’s not mine but I caught him right after he was shorn.. I have two of the little critters but not a little one until July… hey wait… that’s NEXT MONTH!!..

96 Denita TwoDragons 06.20.06 at 10:20 pm

I dunno, he reminds me of Bob ross instead:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ross

Put a paintbrush in his hooves and stand him in front of an easel so he can paint his “Happy Little Trees”. Hee!^___^

–TwoDragons

97 lisa 06.20.06 at 10:28 pm

Cute or Sad?

Sad!

How would you like pre-braces pictures of you taken during your awkward stage and with a bad haircut plastered all over the internets? Huh? Poor fuzzy guy.

98 Mia 06.20.06 at 10:29 pm

OMGATZ this is priceless! lovely face.

99 Jo 06.20.06 at 10:37 pm

I am thinking a very effective toilet bowl brush with a fairly large handle, easy to grip.

100 Amelia 06.20.06 at 10:40 pm

Just so ya know, it’s Glampyre, not Glamphyre

101 Debbie 06.20.06 at 10:44 pm

You have no idea what this picture does to knitters. It means there’s a gorgeous baby Alpaca fleece out there somewhere, ready to be spun and knitted up into something amazing. Dorky Alpaca haircut = deliriously happy knitter. :)

102 Arvay 06.20.06 at 10:53 pm

Allie, good point!

It wasn’t in Peru that I got kicked, BTW. It was at an alpaca breeder near me, whom I was visiting just to ogle. (I’m not really in the market for farm animals at the mo!)

103 kate 06.20.06 at 11:07 pm

woo hoo, it’s Glampyre! and seriously, I wish I could get my hands on that nice fleece that got shaved off of him, such lovely (but expensive) stuff. but really, such a cute odd ball little guy.

104 A Fine Morsel 06.20.06 at 11:22 pm

Oh, how sad and adorable! Toothy, with that circle of fur around his big head! He just wants to make some friends!

105 Nater 06.20.06 at 11:27 pm

This is what happens when they breed llamas and poodles.

106 Michele 06.20.06 at 11:34 pm

In Carlos Mencia voice “dede deeeee!”

107 Jeanne 06.20.06 at 11:58 pm

Looks like one of those bunnies in Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit…

108 DavidBoBavid 06.21.06 at 12:26 am

holy crap tish, that’s all kinds of awesome!!

thanks! :D

109 Laurie C 06.21.06 at 12:52 am

arbed, we are kindred spirits today – I had a root canal.

110 Stacia 06.21.06 at 1:55 am

Waaah! Llama faaaaace!

Most awesome picture ever.

111 Andrea 06.21.06 at 1:57 am

OMG so cute! It’s like Kleetus the slack jawed alpaca!

112 arbed 06.21.06 at 2:00 am

:-( Laurie C – another old filling might need that in the near future… Edgar (my kitty) is sticking nice and close to me though, so I feel a bit better.

113 ElfOwl, B.S., M.A., I.W.T.F.M. 06.21.06 at 2:37 am

Q-tip yes. Also, dandelion, toilet brush, and one of the little pink or blue people that you put in the cars playing the game of Life. This is what he reminds me of, aside from all the *animate* objects people keep comparing him to. :-P

114 Nova 06.21.06 at 2:51 am

If there were more baby alpacas in the world, it would be a more peaceful world.

I loves them so!

115 anna 06.21.06 at 3:15 am

so that was where i stuck my shower brush! ..when did it grow eyes?

116 E. Collison 06.21.06 at 3:30 am

Pre-shearing pic (of *alpaca*):

117 Theo 06.21.06 at 3:39 am

E.C. — hmm, that kinda looks like “mid-shear” to me. The neck isn’t finished yet.

118 Aubrey 06.21.06 at 4:06 am

You know that the alpaca resting next to him is trying SO hard not to laugh.

119 mercy 06.21.06 at 4:54 am

…it’s don knotts!

120 Andi 06.21.06 at 5:24 am

This makes me want to watch the Emperor’s New Groove again. “STINKY LLAMA!”

121 Correen 06.21.06 at 5:48 am

Can I be this little guys llama mama? Too cute for words!

122 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 06.21.06 at 7:38 am

Cuidado, llamas.

126 Krissy 06.21.06 at 1:49 pm

We need way more Llamas on this sight. Go llamas!!!!!!

127 KC623 06.21.06 at 2:32 pm

He went from David Spade in the preshear to Larry the Cable Guy’s little brother!

All that’s missing is the cutoff shirt (but the ball cap picture works, too).

128 reese 06.21.06 at 3:15 pm

you know sometimes when you watch celebrtities and their all like :”yeahh and this is the new style of the season and I have it..” blah blah blah and really its just UGLY!

this llama is sporting the new couture look for the llamas–very uber chic.

129 ariel 06.21.06 at 3:41 pm

awwwww, he’s just going thru his awkward phase. look at that tentative grin!

130 katey 06.21.06 at 3:48 pm

hate to ruin all the fun, but that’s an ALPACA, folks!

http://www.glampyre.com/blog/archive/001495.php#comments

Alpaca are prized by knitters and weavers for their wonderfully soft fiber. It’s redonk how soft it is and it’s really warm as well.

131 katey 06.21.06 at 3:49 pm

he still looks like Napoleon Dynamite tho.

132 Valeria 06.21.06 at 7:29 pm

ariel = fun vaccuum

j/k

133 Valeria 06.21.06 at 7:30 pm

My apologies. I posted the wrong name. That should have been katey, not ariel.

134 lulu 06.21.06 at 7:36 pm

so NOT cute :<

135 Gina 06.21.06 at 7:38 pm

That is the coolest llama picture EVER!!!

137 jesus 06.21.06 at 11:35 pm

looks like a young Martin Short,,,, but larger afro… let’s all adopt him… we can share? right?

138 Emerson 06.21.06 at 11:39 pm

The little fella’s grown on me, and now he’s now my monitor’s background. All he wants is to be my pal, and my pal he is.

139 Aubrey 06.22.06 at 2:25 am

Sure…sure…whatever you say…you don’t —- with the Jesus.

140 Eric 06.22.06 at 1:27 pm

Poor thing looks like a toilet brush with buck teeth! TOO CUTE!

143 s gambrell 07.13.06 at 2:06 pm

Cutest thing I’ve seen. I want one

144 Chimah 08.05.06 at 10:23 am

This is one of most hilarious pics I’ve seen in a long time. I just burst out loud laughing when I saw it. I can not stop laughing whenever I see it. I downloaded it to my desktop and still cannot stop laughing whenever I see it.
Thanks.

145 Phins 08.09.06 at 2:35 pm

It reminds me of the character “Mater” in Cars…

146 jj 10.04.06 at 9:56 am

llama poodle!

147 K Kelly 10.08.06 at 2:25 pm

Just because I’m gorgeous doesn’t mean I have a big head!!!

148 Elie Karabunarlieva 12.07.06 at 7:01 pm

I fell in love with the image, so I GIMPed it to remove the bars and fix the contrast. Here is the result: http://www.18mb.com/v.php?i=498520.bmp

149 Theo 12.07.06 at 7:21 pm

Elie — really nice cleanup job. And you actually used GIMP, even? I’m impressed.

150 Stephanie 12.09.06 at 7:41 pm

hahaha!!! he’s even smiling… i love it :D
so cute!!!

151 Manda 01.30.07 at 6:56 pm

Surely someone has already said this in here (157 comments!), but if Napoleon Dynomite were to reincarnate, I think this would be him :-)

152 Alice Shortcake 03.29.07 at 3:45 pm

For British cuteologists only – does the young ‘un remind you of Ken Dodd?

153 Dracwolley 07.16.07 at 8:16 pm

“Hello, My name is Llama!

I’ll just tell be about my *camera snap* self.

Hey wait, you know everyone looks funny when you take pictures in the middle of a word!”
