Don't underestimate the Daily Llama

Just because they're small and cute doesn't mean they can't take you down. Oh no. You don't want to mess with a llama.

This unlikely sporting scene put me in mind of the inspiring religious tableau below, which I first featured on here a couple of years ago.

Every time I see this I am amazed Jesus is giving the handoff in this situation - he's asking for a fumble.

Come on, cover the ball up and take the sack! Then maybe a Hail Mary (Hail Mum?) pass on the next play.

Looks a bit like a forward pass, doesn't it? (Yeah - how can you tell? It's not a well-mowed field.)

But then, you're allowed two per play in the American game, aren't you? It just never seems to happen.

It's always struck me that Jesus looks like he's receiving here rather than passing.

Either way, the kid is going to smack his head on the ground.

Just one per play. Clearly what is going on here, as this is American, is that Jesus is the QB, and is handing off to the Running Back. Meanwhile his offensive line (the Apostles?) have let a blitzer through, who is about to drive his Holy head into the Astroturf.

I first saw this on gadgets for God - http://www.ship-of-fools.com/gadgets/index.html - which is a truly excellent site for kitsch. Always worth a perusal every few months.
