uncle freddie: "Sammy, i don't see what the fascination is with alpaca lips, has the world gone completely mad?"
me: "alpaca lips? i think you mean: The Apocalyspe, Uncle Freddie"
" exactly, Sammy, what is the world coming too, when pet humans talk about them on the radio, write blog posts, are completely immersed in pack animals' lips!??"
me: "Freddie, they mean The Apocalypse. T H E Apocalypse, you know?"
"i know, it's ridiculous, Sammy, i for one have much better things to do"
me: "is this why you called, to discuss a critter's lips? i'm trying to BBQ over here, and the dogs are out there howling for me to join them for a romp in the woods"
Uncle Freddie: "well if you run across any alpacas, Sammy, check out their lips, and see if there's a story in all this. probably just another pet human craze. it'll die down. it's not like anyone is predicting the end of the world or anything...jeesh. alpaca lips. it's crazy!" and he hung up.
i have to convince him to get his hearing checked.

I think those alpaca lips are kinda adorable. Could we have an apocalypse of cute? Do alpacas spit a lot, though? Because that might change things for me. I don't like spit.
ReplyDeleteThe word "spit" may be one of the funniest words in the English language, along with "underpants" and "dingleberry."

it were dat hack Picasso what said, "iffin' i spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art" and then there was dat ovver one, what went like: "pride will spit in pride's face" i thk dat was fullerton.
Deletebut da one dat get's me is, "you is da spittin' image of my uncle freddie, i swear you is da spittin' image" when did an image spit, and who said when it spat dat it meant that there was a mirror in da way?
as for those other words, they sound kinky, and we ferrets run a family program here... do those berries make good wine?
I wonder how Uncle Freddie would hear the word supercallifragilisticexpiladocious... now my spelling could be off as it usually is... I understand this is the longest word in the dictionary... spit this in his ear... Oh by the way the sky is falling... @chowpawpaw twitter
DeleteOh Sammy we could talk Alpaca lipps, Apocalypse & just 'big lips' ~ 'fish lips' ~ 'critter lips' all night long. Quite a viable subject! I'm @grammakaye on twitter.
ReplyDeleteHa, i smiled when i read your post. Also a gramma, i often use the lips to describe people, sensitve lips (if they cant take a joke), my co-worker once gave me a b day cake w giant lips on it.
DeleteOh, i tweet as @beckyjean
DeleteAlpaca lips? I recently went to an alpaca farm on San Juan Island, and they were so fluffy I never even noticed their lips. So even if you were talking about alpaca lips instead of The Apocalypse, I think Uncle Freddie is being a bit over dramatic.
ReplyDeleteAlpaca lips make great ear muffs. Better convince Uncle Freddy in writing, since he doesn't seem to be hearing you. That shouldn't be too hard for you, since you are such a champion Sam. ;)
