Here is a website which offers photographs of the Maverick Brothers -- Brett and Bart. In order to use one of these, our brother Maverick would have only to decide which he is more like. Maverick Website

The bull is good. The horses' heads is too Janus-like. The stud service does seem fitting.

Yes, our Maverick is more exotic and not your average Welsh sheep-wanker  :kiss: Now, if I were Irish, Striner or New Zealander, I'm sure Mav would have something fitting to say. Wonder what he'll say to a Michigan ex-pat living in the Caribbean?

> He has outstanding character, with perfect conformation, and a nice small face with stunning features. His sire, Blue Sterling, is one of our most prized herd sires; one of only two known Alpacas with 'blue' in his color. Mavericks conformation and fleece lead us to believe he will add great offspring to any herd. awww, shucks... but didja see some of my friends there? maximus and juan in a million were a couple that caught my eye!

Of course it's only appropriate that Remington has a higher stud fee than those "others" you mentioned.

You know, this sounds like a coming-of-age novel or either a line from a Gilbert & Sullivan tune.

[wishing there was a weary sigh emoticon]
On those rare occasions when I pun, I try to rely on the auditory effect, rather than resort to mispelling the word, which I've always regarded as the blunt instrument approach to punning. That's why I did not resort to the crudely obvious Llama.

People taking it upon themselves to try to "improve" my attempts at humour will always push my buttons.

try to "improve" my attempts at humour Ah--now I understand. I suppose I was, but only for myself: for me, the visual humor of Dalai Llama when talking about alpacas is funnier than the auditory kind. I am sorry I stepped on your toes.
Edit: also, it was foolish and thoughtless of me to assume that others might think the same way I do.
===========================================================
tsuwm: I don't know what a Red Card is. Enlighten me, please? Maybe by PM; judging by the tone of your post, it must be something horrible...

well then, what did you think that icon represents??
(In futbol red cards (or yellow cards) are 'given' to blatant (or semi-blatant) rules transgressors; I believe a red card or two yellows during a game warrants dismissal.)

what did you think that icon represents?? Someone being hauled up by the ear for committing a transgression. And I wasn't flashing it to anyone--it was intended to represent me, just as  means I am delighted that we are finally getting some cold weather.

I can't see the icon which has prompted all this discussion.
