Everybody's Got One!

What you ask? A Water Buffalo....Mine is fast and your's is slow.... Some of you might already recognize this as a line from one of Larry's Silly Songs from Veggie Tales. (One of my favorite silly songs I might add)......

Anyway I have to report a slight error. There are not Caribou on Guam. Caribou are reindeer. Although there are some weird alien looking deer here that are found mostly on Andersen Airforce Base and are often shot by "Mr. Hottie" (See previous post)..... they are not Caribou.

What we have on the island are Carabao which is a Chammaran (local islanders) word for basically a water buffalo. (Can anyone believe that Microsoft does not recognize the Chammaran language in spell check?)

Sorry for the confusion.
