Location: Massachusetts | Explain this LLama thing. It's been talked about in the tour threads(I'm going) but I don't get it.
It's an inside joke right?
Is it like becoming a Turtle?
I don't get that either and my mother is a Turtle. |

If you want to uphold the veil of mystery you should take a lead from the Star Wars providers. Give them something different and not necessarily in order!
How many company's IT Departments are shut down today because of the premier of Episode III?

Way way way back in like 82 I was in a state conference for a fraternal organization. Apparently kids in the know made each other Turtles...some sort of secret handshake thingy.
Are you a Turtle?
You bet your sweet &^% I am
Was the code.
Last year my 70 year old mother said she was a turtle. Happened at her convention. I was shocked. |

| It had never even crossed my mind that those pics were fakes. This shows:- 1) I'm stupid, 2) cliff's skill with photoshop and 3) the absolute awe in which I hold cliff.
number 3 may now have to be adjusted.

Location: Upper Left USA | When I was just seven years old, growing up in a narrow 3 floor tenament shared by 4 generations of Irish immigrants, my older brother and I were in the bed we shared, talking excitedly about what we thought we should get for Christmas. Next thing we notice is someone walking around in our living room and the rustle of packing paper. Unable to hold ourselves back my brother and I snuck to the door and made it down the hallway to "sneak a peak"!
We didn't find someone in a red suit. And whoever this was, wasn't taking things out of a bag, he was putting them in a bag! Then my Father saw us from the other doorway.
What happened next took a lot of therapy to bring forward and deal with. This supposed "santa" was packing more than holiday spirit but my father had two barrells on his "house gun". After the tremendous noise "santa" didn't get up and my Father's left arm never lifted above his shoulder again.
It took us a few years to look forward to Chistmas. I just couldn't figure out why my father would shoot Santa!
So I should be ashamed telling kid's that Santa isn't real?
This story really is a crock of crap, but did you enjoy the journey?
Enjoy the Llama!
Share it with your kids! Enjoy the tour and the company of each other!
And Merry Christmas! :D |

Just for your comments Woodrow, when you do go to the OFC gig, you're going to have to keep the llama in your room (assuming Hizzy will let you -- that llama spent a lot of time in his room! Those Texas boys are something....). |

Location: Midland, MI | The llama pictures *are* real, Schroeder...it's a clever double-reverse-psychology ploy by Woody to fake everyone out. I don't think Carter put it in the book, but it's fairly well known that one of the early employees (one from up in the hen house, if I remember correctly) had a spouse who quit their job, sold everything but the house and one car and then invested all the proceeds in llama farming.
Now, you can imagine that llamas, coming from the relatively warm climate of Peru (as opposed to the relatively chilly climate of Connecticut) probably aren't all that well equiped to deal with long, nasty winters and a bunch of humans running around prattling on about nor'easters and sundry other nonsense. Anyway, most of the 'seed' llamas died the first winter (nobody told the prospective llama mogul that they need a heated barn, apparently).
Our very own W2, knowing the plight of the llamas, and being a warm and fuzzy kind of guy (for the most part) encouraged the employee to lodge the remaining few members of the herd in an unused portion of the shipping department. Just until spring, you understand. Well, the llamas sort of made themselves at home, and eventually wound up just wandering wherever they pleased. In no time at all, they became just another part of the Ovation family. If you open an Ovation case from the mid 70s (before W2 built the barn on the *other* side of the parking lot), you can get a 'whiff' of what things were like around there during the 'Llama Days.' To this day, KMC keeps a couple of llamas housed up there; they even let the local kids have rides and show them in the 4th of July parade. You know, everyone loves a big, fuzzy, dumb looking llama. It was a masterstroke of PR genius on W2's part (now you know why he rails against their current marketing, but who could compete with loveable, affectionate llamas?)
Woody knows the whole story as well as any of us here, so don't let him pull the (llama) wool over your eyes. |

They llamas live in the barn on the other side of the freeking parking lot. You n00bies have soooo much to learn about Ovation. :rolleyes: |

It is in fact a federal crime to:
Transport a Llama across state lines.
Comingle, cohabitate or otherwise cavort with a Llama in non-approved overnight lodging facilities.
Impersonate llamas by stuffing two men with Irritable Bowel Syndrom in a llama suit...Otherwise knowm as Llama Baiting... |

Look...the story of cliff and his friend Dolly is a zen thing.
I mean, if every time I see the two of them together I simultaneously hear cliff strumming the chords to san fransisco with that far off look in his eyes just like mckenzie and at the same time I hear the llama singing "paved paradise and put up a parking a lot", but no one else hears the same thing i am hearing, does it mean that I should make my memories less interesting? |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | A couple years ago I contracted with a llama pack outfit in the Moggollon (pronounced Muggyone) mountains near Silver City, NM to transport me and my gear to the Factory tour. I gave them the directions and some insight into the type of people we might encounter there. THEY LEFT WITHOUT ME!!
Ever since llama references have shown up on the OFC bulletin board. I got the true story from an exhausted, hungover, remorseful, llama safari, that returned with only patchy memories and faint images of what could be called an orgiastic experience involving various Ovations and those who play and build them. I burned the photos they gave me to pay back my advance that I gave them, ALL BUT ONE OR TWO!!! |
