    Ever notice how whitetails are used in almost all the images of Santa's Christmas Eve journeys? That's because real reindeer look more like caribou or something (IOW, not "cute").

    I believe it is "Tyrannosaurus Rexes," but it could be "Tyrannosaurs Rex" or "Tyrannosaurs Reges" depending on what we consider the true species name.

    They're the same species but are categorized into separate sub-species based primarily on different traits stemming from domestication.

    You know a lot about reindeer for a southern lawyer. Did you represent Grandma when she got run over?

    It was a Canadian reindeer .... claimed diplomatic immunity.

    As you probably know, Yoss made his bones with this trial.

    My son at work. "Are you going to the company Christmas party?" The response: "You can't say that, it's a holiday party." His answer: "Are you going to the company Hannukah party?" The response: "You can't say that either, but somehow it's not as bad."

    That was from a company HR rep.

    It truly is a War on Christmas, people.

    A former employer of mine got rid of all of that nonsense by getting rid of parties.

    Unless you get to tell all your loved ones how much they've disappointed you over the year and then humiliate them by making them cry uncle during the arm wrestling.

    That's what the holiday season is all about!

    Happy Festivus!! :thumbsup:

    Christmas Ho ha ha!

    We took an early am drive up some logging roads earlier. We needed a tree for the annual celebration of the goddess Beltane for Winter Solstace.

    We had a good time and a laugh looking for a decent one. It's not as fancy as the. $75 ones on the lots. But you don't have to pay for the fun.
    Follow up photo tomorrow.

    Prickly devil :)

    Yeah....lived in the Berkshires [W. Ma] for 40+ yrs and never bought a tree. 1 year when my daughter was 5 or 6, after watching Charlie Brown's Christmas, she insisted on picking out the tree. :)
