   Actually, Fur Rendezvous is the winter carnival held each year in Anchorage right around the time of the start of the Iditarod. I wasn’t there, but I’m guessing the running of the reindeer happened during the two weeks or so of Rondy.

   That guy taking the picture of himself is too embarrassing.

   The plural of reindeer is reindeer.

   You can tell this doesn’t carry the danger factor of running with bulls; look at how close the spectators are to the action. And I doubt you’d have someone taking a picture of himself in Pamplona.

   I hope someone got an antler stuck in their no-no spot. I’m sure the reindeer LOVE the confusion and screaming people. This is cruel.

   Actually Dave, Alex and you are both correct as to the spelling of pluralized “reindeer”. From Answers.com:
   rein·deer (r?n’dîr’)
   n., pl. reindeer or -deers.
   A large deer (Rangifer tarandus) of the Arctic and northern regions of Eurasia and North America, having branched antlers in both sexes.

   Oh, I’m unintentionally correct on the plural of reindeer! Yay for grammatical ambiguity!

   ooh, here in albuquerque, we should have a running of the lobos…or is this running-of-the thing strictly limited to herbivores? picture it! wolves running like crazy, and people running like crazy to avoid getting rabies!

    You want proof that plural of “reindeer” is “reindeer”? Check the lyrics for “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer”;

    … All of the other reindeer
    Used to laugh and call him names.
    They never let poor Rudolph
    Join in any reindeer games.

    Then one foggy Christmas Eve
    Santa came to say,
    “Rudolph with your nose so bright
    Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
    Then all the reindeer loved him
    And they shouted out with glee…

    Try singing that with “reindeers” instead. Sorry, but it just sounds wrong, in a song or in a sentence.

    I would take part in a ‘running’ only if it was something I could actually outrun.
