2 Weeks

Wow , it’s been 2 whole weeks since I posted here last. I guess I’ve been hard to work on my other two “blogs” ( Yes I have more! ) so I haven’t had the time to stop by here. Anyway, I thought that you might like to see this incredible couch that I’ve been [...]

Google Trying to Say Something?

Check this out. Go to google & search for “failure.” Or click this link.
I’m not saying anything…. I can’t say I agree with it. Just saying it’s worth looking at, that’s all.

I beat 20 Questions

A co-worker of mine bought 20 Questions for his phone, and he said it could guess anything. So of course I had to test it. I picked a llama, and doggonit it guessed it real good, in 18 questions. So i decided to be tricky, and picked a duck-billed platypus the second [...]

Quitting

So here I was, setting up my RSS reader ( a phrase I didnt know existed 3 months ago ) after spending most of the day sitting on my couch, when i realized something. You can’t make a million dollars in 15 minutes a day, 3 days a week. That is, if you [...]

Movable Type Move Complete

Finally got this first blog all moved over to the new server. Not at all fun, and quite frankly it looks like crap right now. It’ll get better…. slowly. All kinds of HTML, PHP, MySQL, FTP, CSS, ODB, OG, DPG, you name it.ugh. Anyway, welcome to the Green Llama!

No more Coke

This past Sunday, I decided to quit drinking Coke. Cold turkey. And when I say no coke, I mean no coke, no pepsi, no diet coke, nothing even resembling coke. And now, over 2 1/2 days later, I can safely say it is the stupidest thing I’ve ever decided to do. [...]

40 large for a blog

Top 100 Blog for Sale: Blog Tips at ProBlogger
This guy’s selling a mystery blog for 40k plus. That’s some serious money. For a blog. Heck I’d even sell the Green Llama for 40k. But only in American dollars, I dont’ want any of that funny money from Canadia. 40k in [...]

Sea Lions like Hybrids

Komo News reports that Sea Lions like Hybrids. At least that’s what I got out of the article.

Green Llama

Alright, I know everyone has been waiting for this. Why in the heck is this website called “The Green Llama” ? You’re probably expecting a hilarious story about a llama that was born green, or turned green, or maybe even wanted to be green.
Sorry to dissapoint, but I was half asleep [...]

Hearing test over the phone

Our quirky friends over in the UK sure are… quirky. It seems that a company over there recently started a hearing test that you can take over the phone. I’m having trouble imagining how that makes sense… if you can’t hear anything, how can you hear the responses that the automated system is [...]

Kuwaiti Emir dies

I’m assuming that an “emir” is like a “king.” I really have no idea, but it sounds good. So the king of a country with 10% of the world’s known oil supply dies. I imagine this will be followed by $4.00 / gallon gasoline shortly. Check out the full story at [...]

CNN Nearly blows up the world

Well not exactly. But close. It seems the company hired by CNN to translate didn’t quite live up to their expectations. A seemingly simple mistake such as misunderstanding “technology” for “weapons” can turn into a big problem when talking about a known terrorist-supporting, America-hating nuclear-seeking country. According to the BBC News [...]

Man doesn’t realize he’s been shot

So this guy hears gunshots, right? Then he wanders outside & all of a sudden realizes that it was he who had been shot. Ok , still following me? Same guy decides to try to remove the bullet from his chest. With a meat thermometor. The pointy end. [...]

Legs - Tasty!

I’m not sure how I came across this link. But anyway, here’s some good tips for if you’re a starving pirate, or if you just have that burning desire to eat some human flesh.

Art

And this just in from the Random Crap department. One of the gomers I work with had a rare flash of brilliance yesterday, and created these two works of art. There’s not much I can say about them, so I’m just going to let you experience this art for what it is.

Another Suicide Bombing in Israel

Ok. Let me preface this by saying 1. I’m not Jewish. 2. I’m not Muslim. 3. I’m not Arabic.
I like to think I have an objective view of this situation. The only time in recent memory that there has been peace in Israel / Palestine, is when Israel had complete military control [...]

East Timor to speak to UN - Green Llama

I’ll give anyone who can point out East Timor on a map without looking it up first, $20. Is it even a real country? And I sure hope it’s right next to West Timor…. but I have a feeling that isn’t a real country either.
So anyway, good ol East Timor is crying about [...]

Greenbriar Llama Farm

If you’re looking for pictures of llamas - you came to the right place. Check out Greenbriar Llama Farm. Contrary to popular belief, llamas don’t spit at everyone, and they are very quiet. You can read about their disposition here.

Hamas to be elected to Palestinian Parliament ?

So, Hamas members are being allowed to run for parliament in the Palestinian elections. What could possibly go wrong?

Banana art part 2

Ahhh, more random crap. I’m not sure where this gomer comes up with the ideas. Feel free to leave comments.

Common Sense Finally Prevails

After a long & hard struggle, commen sense wins. It seems some woman got knocked up and decided that means she can use the carpool lane by herself. Judge says no. Oh yea, and here’s your fine.

Random Crap : Gamberi con Cunnilingus

Some lady ordered Gamberi con Cunnilingus instead of the Gamberi con Cannellini at a fancy restaurant. Trying to get a subtle hint across to her husband perhaps? Anyways, go check out waiterrant.net - it is absolutely hilarious. Tons of stories about the crazy crap this guy sees as a waiter.

China to build artificial sun

Pretty much self-explanatory. Didn’t these people watch Spiderman 2?

Somalian Pirates captured.

Somalian pirates??? They don’t have swords, eye patches, or parrots. And no one walked the plank either… what a sorry bunch of pirates. Arrrrr…

Heart attack cures a woman’s blindness

25 years after going blind, an old lady in Britain can see again after her heart attack. Blind people around the world heading to McDonalds.

Chile gets a female president

Here’s hoping that never happens in the US. PMS + Nukes = bad.

Military Cuts Ahead

The new budget proposal wants to cut the size of the Army Reserve, and also cut back on fighter jet programs. Am I the only one who thinks this is stupid?

France grows some balls

Good ol Jack Chirac made a public statement that said France would be willing to nuke any country that launched a terrorist attack on it. It sounds good in principle, but France would surrender if they even heard a whisper of a possible attack on their country. “USA USA HELP HELP”

Linux sucks

Not only is it NOT free ( unless you have windows installed already to download & burn the cd’s ) , slooooooooow to install, PITA to configure, VERY limited in programs you can run, and clunky to use, it’s insecure! Read about the latest critical security flaw at CNET.

 

GreenLlama

    Green Llama is a place to learn about making money online. Any ideas or walk-through's I have, I'll post here for your enjoyment. I also do product and online service reviews.

    However, I tend to run off on tangets quite often. I call this part of the site 'random crap'. Basically I'll go off and post about whatever I want, just to keep things interesting. Have fun and stay tuned.
