“Hol-y Cow!”

by Prongs on November 19, 2009

With such a recognizable catch phrase, it seems odd that Harry Carey would be reincarnated as an alpaca.

Hope you’re a Cubs fan, Jill K.

GREAT picture. Love it. It’s like someone crossed a llama with a Bichon Frisee.

All I can think is “Well Gooooolly”

6 Blondie 11.19.09 at 6:41 am

BEEP!

Alpaca lunch and we’ll go see the game. Oh wait, can’t see . . .

8 KittehsMom 11.19.09 at 7:14 am

Can you see me? I can’t see you. Can you see me???

9 Gigi 11.19.09 at 7:15 am

The original of Mop Top!
All you need is Alpaca, do do do do do.

10 holligans 11.19.09 at 7:30 am

Good one, Desdemona!

11 Prof D 11.19.09 at 7:52 am

IMO alpacas are one of the most inherently cute animals on the planet. I want one!!! They’re quirky, fluffy, awkward, goofy, and just plain strange — what more could you ask?

–In addition to the Floofiness Supreme, you also have a lovely little
Jaw Displacement — with Toofy Teef, no less !!

All ready for your date? :-)

/Looks kinda like me after the hairdresser got done giving me a “great style” for my prom.
(eye roll) My Mom & I spent the next hour before my date arrived trying to flatten it down.
Ahhh, the 80’s./

(doorbell rings)
Ahhh, here’s your date now.

Don’t you mean Phil Rizzuto (aka Scooter) of the Yankees? Or was Harry Carrey also known for saying “Holy cow”?

15 Argyle Donkeypants 11.19.09 at 8:29 am

It’s good to see that scientists have been so successful in creating Q-Tips for elephants, but the nose anomaly is something they’ll have to take care of.

16 Vicki 11.19.09 at 8:50 am

Geez, thanks Prongs. Now I have my boyfriend’s bad impression of Will Ferrel’s impression of Harry Carey stuck in my head. X3;

17 Theresa 11.19.09 at 9:03 am

@Juno, yes, it’s true. But I don’t think Caray ever discussed canolli on the air.

18 Illise 11.19.09 at 9:09 am

so cute and the mouth lol

19 Kristabelle 11.19.09 at 9:11 am

He looks SO SOFT!!! Can you cuddle with alpacas??

20 kevin 11.19.09 at 9:12 am

Juno, I thought the same thing at first – any New Yorker knows Scooter had the most famous “Ho-lee cow!” in baseball. (Rizzuto’s version even made it into the Meat Loaf song.) But Caray said it plenty, too. It was even the title of his autobiography.

21 marthava 11.19.09 at 9:16 am

A little OT…does anyone know why I am contantly getting that ANNOYING healthcare ad on the top right of my CO page instead of the routine pictures of past QTE?

22 Mamamclain 11.19.09 at 9:20 am

*dons Sherlock Holmes hat and chews on bubble pipe*

Anyone else realize the wall mural by the qte guy’s head says, ” Hot Dam!”… interesting…. *pulls off Sherlock Holmes hat, but keeps the bubble pipe*

*dreams of Robert Downey, JR., and falls down ded*

23 Julia (the one in BC) 11.19.09 at 9:26 am

What do you see in the alpaca’s nose? I see the face of a snowy owl…

24 Mamamclain 11.19.09 at 9:31 am

I do too! Now that you mention it… good catch!

25 Rachael 11.19.09 at 9:34 am

Desdemona for the win!

He’s floofiness personified. Does he chew from side to side? Is that why his jaw does that awkward looking thing?

26 Von Zeppelin 11.19.09 at 9:43 am

The camelid family (camels, llamas, guanacos, alpacas, etc) are known for their tendency to spit. I’m wondering if this guy isn’t chewing tobacco and waiting for a moment for Great Expectorations.

I don’t know if Harry Caray used chaw himself, but I understand it’s not unheard of among ballplayers–even the Cubs.

27 Kate 11.19.09 at 10:03 am

I wanna know where to get that poster thats beside him – a bunch of llama’s gathered around saying ‘hot damn’? thats wicked!

28 Susan 11.19.09 at 10:56 am

What a well-groomed floofy head!

29 geoelh 11.19.09 at 10:57 am

Mind if I show y’a'little sumthin? Your swing is all wrong.

Wooly bulleh, wooly bulleh, wooly bulleh!

Yes, “The Scooter” said “Holy Cow”.

31 Paws and Claws 11.19.09 at 11:53 am

He looks like a smart talkin’ wise guy, kinda with a movie gangster accent. He’s very handsome. I would love to brush his hairs.

32 Heather L. 11.19.09 at 12:01 pm

My husband calls them Giraffe Sheep.

33 Juno 11.19.09 at 12:45 pm

Nah, I actually don’t know anything about Harry Carey, or the Cubs, or the Yankees, or baseball for that matter. Everything I know about Phil Rizzuto I learned from 1) “Sea of Love,” which I’ve watched a ridiculous number of times, and 2) the Seinfeld episode where George loses his Rizzuto key chain (or was it a bobble head?) and it gets paved over.

34 Brandi7920 11.19.09 at 12:47 pm

….where it was promptly purchased by goldenpalace.com /snerk

35 MandyMo 11.19.09 at 1:14 pm

I’d like a “Hot Dam!” llama poster, please. :)

36 paranoiagirl 11.19.09 at 1:56 pm

“Hey, I’ve got a question! If you were a hot dog, and you were hungry, would you eat yourself? Well I know I would. I’d pour on ketchup and relish…heck, I’d be delicious!”

anyone? anyone?…..::crickets::

37 Sorcha the cat 11.19.09 at 2:09 pm

Oh, dear! My first post and I’m afraid it’s rather nuffish. However, the poster may be llama-porn. A female llama is a “dam” , so a herd of (possibly) males making that comment…

I’ve been visiting this site for a while now and my impression is that so many here are wonderfully over-educated!

38 DaytimeDeb 11.19.09 at 3:37 pm

Marco….Polo!

39 Monica the Tiara Chick 11.19.09 at 7:07 pm

I personally want that print behind him. “Hot dam!”

40 Jill K 11.19.09 at 7:50 pm

Eeeeee! My photo!! She was chewing at the time, so that’s why the jaw is crooked. Sorcha the cat, you’re correct about the poster behind her! It was PG, though, nothing too hardcore. : )

41 KittyMarthaPoo 11.20.09 at 4:42 am

OMG! What a McFlufferson!! LET ME KISS THE SOFTIE…

42 HonorH 11.20.09 at 6:56 am

Freaky. Where are its eyes? Where did the eyes go? Did the ‘fro eat the eyes? I’m disturbed.

43 Katrina 11.20.09 at 8:39 am

Sorcha the cat-I’ll be happy to take that personally, and welcome, bienvenue, vallcomen, kocktiparsheviayitsia! We are Peeps, and there are all kinds of Peeps!
