DISCUSSION
The guy at the end LASSO'ED THE LLAMA FROM THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK.
You know that guy has been waiting for this moment his entire life. "These lasso lessons aren't stupid!" he told his bully in grade school, "Some day you'll see!" We all saw. God bless you, anonymous truck llama wrangler. You are the new king of Arizona.
