From one of my other forums: REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

GG, have you been watching QI? :wink: The question came up...eh, at some point. Now I'll have to go watch QI Christmas specials to find out when. Oh, the effort...

According to the site, "Among the common subspecies of reindeer, the largest bulls shed their antlers in late October and the small bulls and non-pregnant cows shed their antlers in April. It is not known when or if Santa’s reindeer shed their antlers. This is so going in my show on Monday Speaking of men, Da Hubby has gone through two nails trying to put things up on the wals. This is after I told him that in order to put nails in concrete you need to go to the self help store to get a special hammer/drill Bets are on about how many he is going to go through before the drill coems out

Moving back to the subject of soccer-coaches for a minute.... I think it's time to issue out a warning to the people of LA that Holland's first lady of shopping, mrs. Estelle Gullit, will be moving to LA soon, because her husband, the lovely Ruud Gullit, will be coaching LA Galaxy next season. With Estelle and Victoria Beckham in town I'm sure the supplies of Prada, D&G and Gucci will shrink to almost nothing. So this year I wouldn't wait for after Christmas sales if you have your heart set on that gorgeous bag, but snatch it up before she hits town. :?

How many European players/coaches are floating around US Soccer clubs? Galaxy isn't happy with just Beckham?

DEATH! To people who can't fucking drive in the snow. News flash: If it's snowing and you can't navigate in that condition....stay out of your fucking car! Yes, I'm talking to you bitch-woman in the SUV (SUV! For the love of god! Aren't you SUV people supposed to be able to handle adverse, off-road conditions??!?) that slid right into me at a stoplight! Jesus Christ, Seattle gets not even 1/4th of an accumulating inch of precipitation and the whole city collectively loses it's fucking mind. Sigh. I am so not in the mood to deal with repair shops and insurance companies. FUCK! In other news, Enchanted was quite the lovely little movie. Though I'm not sure seeing the matinee warranted getting hit.

I saw Enchanted today too. My friend Sherilyn and I just kept going "No. No. No." at the end(when they were on the roof).

Augh-sorry to hear that bailey. That sounds really quite sucktacular. Fingers crossed that the repairs are relatively painless and entirely covered by the stupid woman's insurance.

Ugh, bailey. That sounds terrible. Are you okay, though? No injuries, or anything? That seatbelt can really hurt. I really really want to see Enchanted. Looks like fun.

We will get Enchanted in about three weeks, it does look quite nice. Sorry about the car accident Bailey and no, SUV drivers CAN NOT drive in teh snow neither can people who say they grew up in the North and know how to drive...here is a clue for you 35 is not the correct speed for snow and ice

Tyre iron, Bailey? For her kneecaps I mean.

Yikes, that sucks, bailey. I hit someone yesterday too, my first ever. All the damage was to my car and no one was hurt, thank goodness. I officially hate black ice.

I hate the San Franciso 49ers. I hate them! Hate them! Hate them! :twisted: That is all.

DOB, you'd better never meet my friend Melody's grandparents' house. They have a room where EVERYTHING is 49ers. Even the carpet and wallpaper. (My friends and I ran screaming out of that room. It was funny. :) )
