I think the llama thing in computer games goes back even before Sim City.

I just checked with my husband, who told me at the C-64 era there was this programmer called Jeff Minter (way back when games were programmed and designed by a single person instead of  a horde of programmers and designers and whatnot) who was obsessed with llamas. His games were very original and popular and sorta weird (sheep in space) and often had llamas in them. He had a big beard, and wore sweaters with llamas on them. He got quite a lot of money from his games, and guess what he bought?

That's right, a llama.

He was a big fan of Monty Python, too, so maybe his love of llamas stems from that.

Yea so true, coming up with those labels....



hard, hard task!! Especially cuz me being the idiot that I ammm I actually bought this crappy ass water. My damn tap water tastes MUCH better. Just like paying for crappy Sims content and being an unsatisfied customer...... Lol.


I actually like Fiji water. Not that I buy it normally, but it does taste better in some odd way...

It's a documented fact that Monty Python jokes are popular at Maxis.

I actually got the water analogy. Water is something that you can get for free, and SHOULD get for free, just like CC; yet those greedy bitches make you pay for decent water. Lucky thing all the best CC is free, eh? ^_^

What I do not understand, is why bottled water is more expensive than gasoline. People rant about the evil oil companies gouging us, but happily pay more per gallon for stuff that occurs naturally. Sheep.

Cuz you don't need water in the same amounts, so unlike w/ gas, you don't have to pay $40 every couple of days for water...

Well, I think that you're mostly paying for the container.

You can go get distilled or plain osmosis filtered water at my local grocery store for about $.29 a gallon, if you have your own gallon bottle.  Definitely cheaper than gasoline.

But I don't get why people buy bottled water except when they're trapped somewhere on a hot day.  Osmosis filters are so much cheaper in the long run, for your household use.

have you notice all the different types of water there are to: mineral, springs, drinking, distilled. They tell us their drinking water is safer than tap water. Well if I die it was the tap water in the green hot tea.

I recently moved back to a country with clean water, and am thrilled to be able to drink tap water again.  I actually sort of enjoyed hauling home my bottles of drinking water from the community spring, though.  It tasted sort of amazing.  Normal tap water was scary, though.  So I have a new appreciation of bottled water.  Here, though, you're paying for the image, not the privelege of drinking good water.

Boiled water kills whatever nastiness may be swimming in there.
