Sarah Palin's Llama


Some of you might remember when I posted about past President's pets that lived in the White House. Well, I thought it would be appropriate, if Obama became president, that he have a llama: Obama's Llama.

So imagine my surprise, while watching Sarah Palin's visit to Saturday Night Live last night, at seeing a real llama standing right behind her while she was talking to Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin!

Really! Check it out!
You'll have to click on the link below and then watch the first video on the top.
As she's talking, look behind her and see the white and brown spotted llama standing there!
And if you look closely, you'll also notice that a man resembling President Lincoln.....(Lincoln's Llama?)....is holding the llama's lead rope. Coincidence? I don't think so!

Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live
The second video is worth watching, too...but has no llamas.

Hi Lisa
I saw the SNL skit too. I noticed the llama and thought of you (is that weird?) :)
I actually was watching the llama to see if it moved, I kinda thought it was a stuffed one at first.
BTW I thought the Mark W. skit was funny too. Apparently he really was ticked off about the skit they did of him talking to animals the week before. Thought it was kinda cool that he made fun of it.

(hey, have I ever told you that I'm a "Lisa" too!?)

We no longer get NBC because our cable carrier and our local affiliate had a disagreement. We have to watch bits and pieces of SNL on YouTube the next day---we watched it this morning and every week it just slays me! We spent half the time she was talking to Alec Baldwin wondering what was up with the llama. Was it used in a skit later on?

The sky behind the Llama is awesome!

Melanie said...

Lisa-
LOL!!!
I seem to remember reading some where that you were quite wild in your younger days...maybe back then???

I would never wear any of those costumes either...not now! I am only 5'5", and my legs are about two feet long. Those stockings would come up to the top of my thigh...lol!!!

I don't even dress up for Halloween anymore. I spend all of my time, money, and energy on getting my kids dressed up.

PS-I don't know if I can get rid of Bo's picture. :)

Andrea said...

LOL, I saw that!! I thought, How random!! LOL!! I love SNL!!

Hey Lisa, I have an award for you over at my place. And, kinda, sorta for Catlinite too...

That's pretty funny. I don't know if I would have noticed the llama if you didn't point it out. I love SNL's campaign skits.

Callie said...

Oh that is a hilarious skit!

Celeste said...

Great skit. It seems I am having a llama weekend, after leaving the comment on 7msn, you contacted me and then a work associate sent me this link - http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/fuo/886259014.html I tried forwarding it to my husband with a heavy hint about my upcoming birthday :) - only joking!

Hi Lisa, that is too funny - once when we were moving our llamas to our new home from my mom's house all the neighbors, my boss, my relatives, everybody were trying to catch this llama who had never been handled! Everybody nicknamed him LLama Bin Laden because we all kind of hated him after 6 hours!!! of trying to capture him without hurting him...thanks for all your nice comments on my newly-formed blog. I'm having so much fun getting to know everybody. There's a whole world of nice people in this world we live in!

Just have to add another quickie. I just read your post from the other day about your ride "The Brakes Work". I am glad that you and your friend are ok and that no one was hurt. Amazing how quick things happen isn't it?? Thankfully you employed the brakes (one rein stop), I've had to use that one on my Harley once and I am most thankful that it is something that we have practiced a lot in our formulative years. The one time I had to use it, Ladde, our other gooseberry decided to spook at some horses & riders coming towards us from the trailhead - imagine THAT!! horses coming towards us - never seen anything like that before!!! So, Harley, being the younger of the two (and the smaller) decides if Ladde is scared, then he by golly is outahere!!! We were at a dead run before I even knew what was up - when I gained control of my brain, I just slid my hand down my rein and smooth-as-silk, reined him around to a stop. Thank you Lord!! Happy Trails - I said just a quickie, didn't I? Sorry...

It looks to me like it's Lincolns Llama..... and a well trained one at that. There was definitely some strange stuff going on in the background/hallway of that skit. I sure hope I find a llama that I click with sometime in the near future...they are one fascinating creature! :)

Val! I know. That's what I said, too! lol!

lol! Too funny, eh Melanie? This was my first time watching SNL for a long time. I really did enjoy it. :)

anon, thanks for that tip.

Awww! Thanks Callie, my new BFF, too! I'll bite! :)

lol! Thanks Lydia. I didn;t think so either.

Lisa! How funny that the llama reminded you of me. heheh
Thanks for stopping by.

CeeCee,
I don't know, but it makes me wonder if someone stole my Obama Llama idea and decided to do a Lincoln's Llama skit or something related to president's pets.
Not that I think I'm so clever that I'm the only one to come think of it, but it sure is odd seeing that llama and Lincoln back there.
We do get SNL, but I rarely watch TV anymore, so I had to watch the SNL skit on that website link.

hahah! Thanks Mary, for bringing that to my attention because I hadn't even noticed! lol!

Well, you got your way. I hope you like it. lol!
And please don't take away handsome BoBo's photo. I love that so much better than your more generic photo, too. What do you want: a half naked strange female police officer, or a beautiful horse you love? You decide. :)

Hi Andrea....maybe...maybe not. lol!

Awww! Thank you Carolynn! :)

Laughing Orca Ranch said...

Hi NM, Me neither. I ended up watching the video three times because I wans't sure what I had seen! lol!

Hi Callie,
Oh yes! I agree :)

lol! Celeste! Life isn't complete without a soft, beautiful llama to call your own :)

C-ing spots! Llama Bin Ladin. LOL! Too funny :)
Thanks for your comment about my use of the one-rein stop, too. I enjoyed reading about your experience using it, as well.

Hi Wrensong. I now! There was other weird stuff back there, too, but I chose to ignore that. lol!
I hope you find the llama of your dreams, too. A farm just isn't complete with a couple llamas :)

I was so glad to see you linked to the skits. I was sad I had missed them. I thought they were awesome! Good job keeping your readers up on important current events!! :)

Oh that is too funny. Our neighbors have a black llama that we have nicknamed Obama the Llama. Just couldn't resist.
