waltappel 1 #51 September 20, 2005 That's a nice shot!!! Like you, I've been trying to get a shot of an armadillo standing on his hind legs but haven't got one yet. I did get it on video tonight, but I'd like to have a nice still shot because it looks really cute. I'll post it when I get a good one. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walt Ahem, I'm a TEXAN born and bred; sentenced to purgatory here in OK. In an old beer commercial there was a killer armadillo. The by line was, "I don't believe in no killer armadiller, I don't believe in no killer armadiller, ..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thinking the armadillo would look *great* with a bath and a bit of vegetable oil applied to his armor. I sent some pics to an ex-girlfriend and she thinks armadillos are ugly. Personally, I think they're really cute!!! I dunno about the mask--maybe a Hillary Clinton mask. She's scary. Maybe Martha Stewart. Or maybe a redneck with barbecue utensils.

JohnRich 4 #60 September 20, 2005 QuoteI thinking the armadillo would look *great* with a bath and a bit of vegetable oil applied to his armor. While sitting around the skydiver campfire one night in Florida, after making night jumps, an armadillo wandered into the cone of firelight. Big mistake on his part. Someone got the bright idea (pun intended) to cut open our still glowing cyalume light sticks and bathe the 'dillo in glowing green goo. We ran him down and did the deed. Then laughed uproariously at the nuclear-charged armadillo as he bopped away across the field. (Dear PETA: cyalume light sticks are non-toxic.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
