We're the LLamabutchers, and we're nothing if not devoted to the pursuit of science
Today's edition of Ask Prof. LLamabutcher comes from A. dKosfecklessloser, via our friends over at Little Green Footballs. Feckless asks:
And the word doesn’t even mean anything!!! What the f*ck is a moonbat?Now, now, young sir, the mating and eating (but, oddly, not bathing, as they don't seem to bathe) habits of the Macroglossius lunarius are well documented by our old colleague Dr. Werner VanSchtrudenbacher.
We here at the LLamabutchers are proud of our role in cementing the nickname via this piece of classic LLama pshop japery circa April 2004:
Here's a simple test, though, Feckless: if you can look at the following picture and think to yourself, "Yeah, I'd hit that, after picking up some Chomsky-brand free range tofu from the Whole Foods"
thennnnn you're probably a Moonbat.
You could put together a whole Jeff Foxworthy-esque "You Might Be A Moonbat If.." series of jokes. Someone with a better sense of the comedic thn I ought to do that. Talk about a fertile field.

And can't you just hear the big wet smacking noise it would make?
