The deer out here are not small. And they are well aware that you are not supposed to shoot at them inside city limits, I am convinced.
The Canadian park that's the sister of Glacier has a bunch of signs warning you that the deer will go after dogs. I wasn't sure what to make of that until I saw one of the deer that I'd been watching as it nibbled leaves stalk a labrador that was on a leash. Menacing.
Did this make anyone else want to tie Teppy down
I have this effect on people.
(Still not on Twitter.)
Must take post-haircut shower. Itchy itchy!
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.
Two walnuts in a row works well against the pole-vaulting zombies.

There's a LOLcat of a Persian in full pursuit of a deer. Something about a Bambi sandwich.
I think the most ::headdesk:: deer population control story I've heard is from Nantucket. Nantucket didn't used to have any deer, but then some fishermen in the thirties found a deer from the mainland who had gotten lost in the water and was swimming near Nantucket, so they took pity on him and brought him onto the island. Then some brilliant people decided that the deer must be lonely, and so they went and got a female deer.
Nantucket now has a major deer problem. A few years ago, they tried to control by declaring a deer hunting week at a time when deer hunting wasn't allowed practically anywhere else in the country. So, deer hunters came in from all over the place to get their chance. Nantucket is a very small island, with really no space at all between the inhabited areas and the uninhabited. The schools ended up having to close for that week, because all these people didn't know their way around the island and kept shooting in places where they shouldn't, and the school and parents decided that it wasn't safe to let the kids outside.
I had a very annoying argument with my officemate today. He thinks that racism will disappear if we just stop talking about race and start treating everyone as an individual. I started disagreeing and then couldn't shut up. (And in one odd tangent, he seemed to be saying that we need to be careful about how much we allow Latino solidarity, because there are Latinos who want to take back the Southwest as their own country.)
Hil, do not feed the energy creature.
Listen to Vortex. Vortex is wise.
Hil, was he responding to the latest law passed in Arizona about not allowing "ethnic" classes, because that insane troll logic is exactly the same that the state board president used.

Ah, spoken like a white guy.
