Hi. Welcome to Achmed's World. At the moment all you'll find here is excerpts from <A HREF="http://www.goecities.com/tdcd200/index.html" >http://www.goecities.com/tdcd200/index.html">The Dancing Camel Daily</A>, which is itself in its infancy. However with the limitless imagination of an unemployed bum, I'm sure this will evolve. <BR/> Achmed is a slave to computer's and has a cat called Jasmine and at last count, 15 fish. They don't have names, they can't remember them. <BR/>
If you found your way here, you might as well go to another excellent site <A HREF="http://www.h2g2.com/A226450" >http://www.h2g2.com/A226450"> The Church of the True Weevil</A>. A most excellent worship and research centre. <BR/><BR/>
<FONT SIZE=4>Hey you! Drop that Camel!</FONT><BR/></CENTER>
There will be car door slamming in the streets this week as the annual Car Door Slamming Derby enters its fifth week. But for those of you looking for something less exciting, try heading down to the Royal Walgoolaba Show for the heats of the Camel Tossing.
This unusual sport finds it origins in unorthodox war strategies. During the Ninth B'lachem war of Independence, the Hooties found themselves under siege. The Hooties, corralled in by the monstrous city walls, threw their camels over the walls in an attempt to confuse the attacking enemy. Once over the other side, the dazzled camels went into a frenzy of spitting and kicking, destroying the invaders and giving victory to the Hooties. Hence the phrase "Beware the Camel of a Trapped Hootie".
Tossing a real camel is these days considered to be "cruel and unusual", so to get the camel really mad, they hit it with a stick, which is of course the time honoured way of dealing with camels.
For those of you intending to go, a few etiquette tips. Hats are allowed, the opening words of "Hootie a Hootie Hoo" are to be spoken not shouted and pom poms are banned. A full grown Mad camel can fetch anything up to $5.40 on the international market.
