[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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.
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.

Yeah. Actually there are more deer now in North America than there were when white folks first arrived - it's all the farmers' crops the deer eat.

But how were they not all eaten by wolves before people even got here?? That's what I don't get.

Yes, I have been in that situation. Luckily, I was able to come to a full stop and just beep at the deer for several minutes until decided to move on.
I love Twitter. It's like Facebook without all the crap!
Yes! Twitter does not have a "So-and-So thinks you should be friends with this other person!" button, THANK GOD. Because, dear So-and-So, if I wanted to be Facebook friends with that other person, I already would be. There's a REASON I'm not, thanks.

And the lack of wolves and lions.
I don't think they're as stupid about carnivores as they are about cars. Headlights are a pretty recent occurance in their evolution as prey.
What Twitter needs is some kind of list/filter function so that when I get horribly behind, I can catch up on just the people I know in real life. (I follow a mix of people I know, celebrities, and news, and when I'm catching up I'd rather just catch up on people.)
So anyway, the deer population is controlled by hunting (if there was no hunting, lots o' deer would starve to death).
But hunting puts bizarre evolutionary pressure on the deer population, as it's the big, healthy deer that hunters try to get, not the small and/or sickly ones that other predators would tend to catch.
