Poetry time:

A one L-ed Lama is a priest

A two L-ed Llama is a beast

But I will be a silk Pajama

There is not any three L-ed Lllama

TL-DR It's spelled with one L :)

That was cute, upvotes for you!

Sadly not my own poem. Credit to Ogden Nash

[–]fnordchris 4 points5 points ago

Still cute and worth upvoting for making me chuckle. :)

Get a room, fun-boys!

He always seems to be having a good time, no matter what!

Hey, life isn't always about being serious. The world would be so boring without humor! :D

[–]MannyPadmenon-affiliated 22 points23 points ago

This dude is proof that Buddhism is effective. His laughter is completely unrestrained, and as we see here - contagious.

[–]Dubhghlas 9 points10 points ago

Out of curiosity... does anyone know the video this comes from and where I might see it?

[–]BarefootMusicGuy 9 points10 points ago

It's impossible to see him and not crack a smile, no matter what kind of a mood you're in.

[–]ooohchild 6 points7 points ago

I'm entirely new to the exploration of Buddhism, and if what I felt looking at this man is any indication, I'm headed in the right direction.

[–]DaisyLayz 6 points7 points ago

I was so hoping there'd be a "deal with it" at the end of this.

[–]mrchowwowrinzai 2 points3 points ago

Somebody please make this happen!

[–]tdubya84[S] 3 points4 points ago

My guess, someone asked him something along the lines of how wide he could open his eyes.

[–]TheCrash84 25 points26 points ago

Its better the in reverse

[–]tdubya84[S] 11 points12 points ago

in reverse it looks like "shit just got serious"

edit: or "What'd you say about my mama?!"

[–]randmefrombehind 2 points3 points ago

or "hahaha that was such good joke!..... :|"

[–]Mdaishi 6 points7 points ago
