Dept. of Corrections: Lamas, Llamas, Lllamamos - UPDATED

Our post on Saturday carried a Thanksgiving troll feast photo uploaded to Flickr by floodllama.

We inadvertently misspelled the last half FL's username with one L, which brought to mind the Baltimore poet Ogden Nash:

The Lama

The one-l lama,
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama.*

-- Ogden Nash

* UPDATED 12/2/08: A reader wrote in with a comment on lllamas -

Continuing the poem of the Lama, A small boy spoke up and said, "I heard on the news today that there was a big fire downtown, and it was a three-L lama."
