How many llamas does it take to create a Zelda avatar?

That is a good question RWood. Conventional wisdom states that llamas sit around all day and create avatars for Zelda. In fact avatars are not made by llamas but are made from llamas. Surprisingly one llama can produce many avatars. To help illustrate this I have created an educational graphic which shows which part of a llama is responsible for each avatar.

you are absolutely right, patricia, how remiss ! i should have mentioned that. rest assured that it is addressed in part III of my "llamavatar" conferences mentioned above (which will now be illustrated with the brilliant educational graphic of madame b). yes indeed, llamas are thrilled to make avatars and make an extra effort to grow the finest quality wool and toenails as raw materials. that is why they are so much fluffier than camels, which are selfish, bad-tempered creatures and want no part of spreading the joy and good-humour of avatars throughout the world. |

I know MobileRead threads are famous for staying on topic so please forgive me this one time for straying away from the subject of avatar creations for Zelda Pinwheel. I have noticed that Zelda does not use capital letters in many of her posts. Perhaps she is channeling ee cumings or perhaps the caps lock on her keyboard is broken. Since the llama for Neko Chipin fundraiser was a resounding success I propose a buy Capital Letters for Zelda Promotion. The attached graphic is just an example, I have not started the promotion at this time.

you are right madame b that we are very very severe about straying off topic around here, as you've noticed. but since you are generally an upstanding member of this community i suppose we can let it slide this one time. for you.
i am really sincerely touched by your fund to purchase capital letters for me. actually, while i may sometimes channel ee cummings, the truth is that i save my limited supply of them up for times when i am really furious or excited about something. i try to use them with parcimony so as not to run out ; it would be terrible if i no longer had any way of indicating particularly strong emphasis. also when i am in a really bad mood i find a good round of swearing to be cathartic and this is most effective in capitals as well, but i do try to generally be polite and even-tempered. this is not always easy so i find that avoiding capitals can keep bad temper in check, or at least somewhat attenuate its expression. |

madame b, i love you so much, i'll give you a dictionary with no chipin at all : http://dictionary.reference.com/ you may also be interested in a french / english dictionary : http://dictionnaire.mediadico.com/tr...ncais-anglais/
i am rather tempted to make this thread into an ebook as well, not for any vocabularly-building exercises but rather to archive it for posterity, to cheer me up when i'm feeling sad, and for my own continued personal amusement. if i do that i will be sure to upload the ebook here so that you can also benefit from it. |

Either spelling I still would have had to look it up.
