When I was in college, a bunch of us country kids went on a church trip to the zoo in Pittsburgh, and we stood outside the pen and said, "They have deer? In the zoo?" 'Cause most of us had probably seen a bunch of deer out the back door that morning and had to chase them out of the gardens.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Deer are fun, except for when they dart out in front of you while you're driving.
Once I was driving down a narrow country road when a deer ran onto the road and then started running down the road. I was driving behind it, honking and yelling until it got off the road and ran away.
edit for clarity

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, hey, I did move my ass. I got Oreos. I also ran some errands. And any minute now I am going to get up and go clean the kitchen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
To be fair, I still get all OMG about deer. There were some outside a friend's house where we were having dinner a couple of weeks ago. I was a bad conversationalist because there were DEER RIGHT THERE OUTSIDE. Two of them. DEER.
Deer are gorgeous. Your west coast bambis are smaller or something, right?

Deer are rats with long legs.

I love Twitter. It's like Facebook without all the crap!
(Of course, I'm on FB too, and most of my tweets are forwarded, but I use Selective Tweets so it's not automatic. Not every tweet makes a good status update.)
I only just today discovered the awesomeness that is Plants vs Zombies. I mean, I'd heard OF it, but today was the first time I tried it for myself. People, I may never work again.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If I had a garden for them to eat, they'd be pesty, I get that. But they are gorgeous.
I don't know if the deer are smaller here. I don't see them at my place ever. I saw them once at P's old place but they moved years ago.
I just love that there is wildlife that is still totally wild.
The things I see the most here are the things that look kinda like marmots but aren't. I can't recall their name. Sudafed brain.

My mom's beach condo has deer in the back yard all the time.
My grandfather sent over a big tomato sauce for TCG and I to have for dinner. It smells YUMMY!

Deer are also problematic because they're just so DUMB. You know the expression "deer in headlights"? Comes from the fact that they will stand in the middle of the road staring at your car wondering if it would like to be friends while you're leaning on the horn trying to get it OUT OF THE FUCKING ROAD BEFORE IT DIES. It's kind of amazing they haven't died out yet.

White tail deer, AKA the deer I was familiar with in Pennsylvania, are smaller than mule deer, AKA the deer I'm familiar with here in Utah. I prefer white tails, they're prettier.
