Meet Ghost. He's a four year old alpaca. My dairy farmer friend brought him to the craft fair today, thinking he might draw in a crowd.  He seems to be right. Ghost turned out to be a big hit as the day went on.  It's almost hometime but we have to visit a few people first.  Say hello to the nice people, Ghost!   Now it's time to visit one of the local pubs.     She was a huge hit. The owners thanked us - for all of the 15 minutes we had her in there. I took her up the street and asked my sister if I could take Ghost into her bar. She was being a bitch as usual.  Jokes on her. I emptied all; the customers out to take a look at Ghost anyway. Ha!  After the day was over we joked about putting her into Santa's grotto instead of Santa, she seemed to be more popular with the kids anyway. Sorry folks, don't come back next year.

Looks pretty fun, Valko. Definitely spreading good vibes and cheer. Reminds me of a time I showed my high school friends the new farm town I lived in. We closed the bars down at 230 am and the locals took me and my friends back to one of their family farms to hunt chickens and ride around on 4 wheelers. The photo that looks to be an antique shop or something, why does it have a photo of America's founding fathers?

A lot of American presidents can trace their roots back to Ireland. During the summer an American couple on vacation from Georgia came over trying to trace their own roots. We have lots of documents. A man from our town became a native american chief over there a long time ago. I'll have to look up details.

The main takeaway here is that Valko's sister is a bitch.

I was told she was upstairs, ran up and called her and she came out of her bedroom - straight from the shower wearing nothing but towels - and just immediately asked if I could bring an alpaca into the bar. She can be forgiven for being a bit bitchy.

Pragmatica posted:cool story, valko Thanks. I didn't have to wait until Tuesday to find the story of how a man in my small town became a Sioux chief. My mom called and I asked if they had a copy of the book 'Famous Maghera Men'. She did, one which she bought in 1980 - before I was born. I remember my primary school teacher telling me this story when I was 8. The book this story came from was first published in 1971. I think this is the first time this has ever been posted on the internet.    e: Yikes!!!! I just read over the story. Yeah, a lot of terms wouldn't be PC today... Valko fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Nov 30, 2024 |

Did your sister do that thing where she "pretends" to pull her hair into a ponytail, but doesn't?

I arrived just shortly after 6pm on a Saturday. She was getting cleaned up and ready for a busy night ahead, hoping things wouldn't get out of hand. Last payday before Christmas means it was going to be a busy night. Me turning up and asking if I could bring a large non-housebroken animal into the bar? I might as well have slapped her in the face with a fish. Of course she said no.

Honestly? Don't give the alpaca beer. What if it bites the glass or is rude with attitude? Has a jacket already
