Deer Visits Target

Posted by Stacy in Animal, Video Clips on January 7, 2009 at 9:30 am

This video from Yahoo! of a deer (just a little guy) crashing through the window of an elementary school reminded me of when a deer wandered through the automatic doors at our Target in West Des Moines a couple of years ago. Such a thing would never happen now – all of the wooded area near that particular Target has been replaced with retail and apartments. But at the time, it was pretty plausible (obviously). I feel sorry for the poor thing – it can’t get any traction on those slick floors!

Decorating your house for Christmas doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on the bachelor-chic theme for your macho home. Just take a look at these Manly Christmas Decor
ideas from AskMen.

This one to the left is the Frontgate 33" Summit Wreath, which unfortunately doesn’t come with the deer head, though at $199 apiece you’d think it would.

Cool Deer Socket Accessories

Posted by Jill Harness in Gadget, Home & Garden, Science & Tech on December 15, 2008 at 5:16 pm

These neat looking socket accessories are also functional. They help you keep your floors clean from all those electronics you’re charging all the time.

“The antlers for all three types of deer are already the perfect shape to hold things, so we hardly had to modify the forms at all. The tough urethane rubber we used for the cover holds handsets tightly, and also protects the antlers from breakage should you bump into them.”

Be A Dear: Don't Feed the Deer

This is why you don’t give bread to the deer in Japan. It’s very cute though.

The Deer Strikes Back

Posted by Alex in Animal on December 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm

Randy Goodman of Sedalia, Missouri, thought that he had killed a deer with a well-placed shot to the neck. As he marvelled over his lucky catch, the deer came to life and exacted a little revenge:

As the nine-point, 240-pound buck lay lifeless the unexpected happened. The buck stood up and knocked Goodman on his butt, attacking him with his antlers.

“It was 15 seconds of hell,” Goodman said. Goodman thought the deer was trying to go through him as he fought it off the best he could. A few seconds later, the deer was off and running. “I felt his front legs go over my face,” Goodman said.

The buck ran 30 yards and fell down again and Goodman was worried the deer wasn’t done yet. “If he was going to come back I would be in trouble because I was in too much pain,” Goodman said.
