Someone at Reuters is having too much fun:
China threatens drama
if Obama
meets the Dalai Lama

The one-L lama, he’s a priest
The two-L llama, he’s a beast
And I would bet a silk pajama
There isn’t any three-L lllama
To which my Bostonian friend Marty responds “that big fire was a right three-alahmah”.

A friends of mine with small children, in response to tantrums and other fits of pique, will give them a withering stare and ask with all the sarcasm she can muster (which is quite a bit, actually) “Are we being attacked by the drama llamas again?”
It’s good of your head of state to show slightly more balls on this issue than our head of state.
To be clear, my head of state is HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I just live in the USA.

Mollusk you one more time: what’s with all the puns!?
