A Daring Raid on an al-Paca Training Camp

Yes, that's an American flag. But don't be fooled. This is an al-Paca training camp, a dangerous seedbed of camelid radicalism.

There are al-Paca members as far as the eye can see. It won't be easy to infiltrate the camp, but we have a secret weapon: Nate's alpaca coat.

It's working! Nate's coat has tricked the al-Paca members into accepting us.



Mission accomplished! We've abducted a dangerous al-Paca leader named Bacchus. Henceforth he will be known as Detainee #276198.

Bowling

Truman liked to bowl at the White House.



So did Nixon.



And so does alpaca!

It's just a picture...

What? I don't get it. It's just a picture. What's so funny?


Seriously! What's so funny? He's just lying down in his alpaca coat, stretching his arms. Looks like a nice day on the mall. I don't get it. What?

Alpacart

Abu Alpaca (c. 1159 - c. 1167), familiar to most of us by the Latinized 'Avipaca', was among the first to bring Greek philosophy, and a Perisan sensibility, to things Alpaca. While most well known for his controversial 'Camelid' Thesis--according to which 'Alpaca', containing three 'a's and a 'p', is a fantastic name and clearly intends alpacas above all other camelids--Abu Alpaca made significant discoveries in the field of Alpacart as well. In the now-famous scholium to Proposition 8 of his noteworthy Novus Ordo Alpacum, we find the following observation: "A man is as much affected pleasurably by an object with alpaca as without, yet the converse is oft refuted: without alpaca, the pain an object may elicit knows no shield from our Lord." Early adherents of Avipaca's so-called Alpaca jactum thesis interpreted this scholium as recommending that for any given piece of art, throw an alpaca on it. Descendants of these eariler followers may be found still today, as evidenced below:



Winter

Alpaca fleece is known for its insulative properties. It is at least three times warmer than sheep's wool. Alpaca fleece is perfectly suited to keeping you comfortable on a cold winter night.

But not if you're locked out of the house.
