Where the hell is the stork getting his babies from? That disturbs me greatly.

How do you know the stork is male?

I think the real question is where is he/she/it getting the blanket.

... and why do I have the sudden desire to watch that Bugs Bunny cartoon where the drunk stork delivers him to the Gorillas? Oh well.

I saw the stork picking up the babies and baskets at the same place you can get four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. The twelve maids been more than milking orphanage farm!

Copyright 2008 Comcast.net News:

 

The gender of Rudolph and his or her sleigh-hauling friends — the subject of

goofy Internet chatter every year around this time — is now being pondered by

renowned wildlife experts at Texas A&M University.

 

"Santa's reindeers were really females, most likely," said Alice Blue-McLendon,

a veterinary medicine professor specializing in deer who cites the depictions of

Santa's helpers with antlers as the primary evidence. It turns out reindeer grow

antlers regardless of gender, and most bulls typically shed their fuzzy

protrusions before Christmas.

 

But Santa's sleigh helpers might also be castrated males, known as steers, said

Greg Finstad, who manages the Reindeer Research Program at the University of

Alaska Fairbanks.

 

Young steers finish shedding their antlers in February and March, just as

non-expecting females do. Bulls generally lose theirs before Christmas, while

expectant mothers retain their antlers until calves are birthed in the spring.

This allows them to protect food resources through harsh weather and to have

enough for developing fetuses, he said.

 

Sledders most often use steers because they maintain their body condition

throughout the winter, he said. Bulls are tuckered out from rutting season when

they mate with as many as a dozen females in the months leading up to December.

That leaves them depleted and too lean to pull a sleigh or sled through heavy

snows, Finstad said.

 

Many females are pregnant after rutting season, which lasts from summer and into

the fall. That would mean long hours of backbreaking work for an expecting

Rudolph, as well as Donner, Blitzen, Cupid, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Comet and

Vixen.

 

"You don't hook up your pregnant females to a sled," Finstad said. "That is not

good animal husbandry."

 

But other aaspects of the Christmas story support the all-girl sleigh team

theory, Blue-McLendon said.

 

For example, would a boy reindeer really sport a shiny red nose that almost

glows?

 

"Females like accessories," said Blue-McLendon, who in 2003 led the school's

cloning of a white-tailed deer. "I think that fits because females like bling.

We like shiny stuff."

 

As for the reindeer games, forget the rough antler-smashing stuff. Blue-McLendon

suggests a female Rudolph would be more up for "games of wit."

 

And as for the name, Rudolph could certainly still work.

 

"Why not?" Blue-McLendon said. "I know women named Charlie."

When shopping, at whatever time of the year, it is best to avoid (unless you need to buy a gift or whatever) the perfume counters. Now there is an inhaled pass out waiting to happen. Do not breathe deeply.

 

Safe shopping tip of the day.

Given the fact that there are Aggies doing the research, what does one expect? Other than a slow college football season.

I'm pretty sure that inclusiveness is directly proportional to meaninglessness. Then again meaninglessness is Seinfeld in a nutshell. :o

Here's an epic win:

 

I get into work at 3, planning to start my shift. My fellow closer was surprised to see me, thinking that someone else had to work tonight. We're about to call said guy (who also thought he was working) to let him know, but he pulled in right as we were about to call. Inspiration struck. I quickly scribbled my name off the schedule, and rezipped my jacket to hide my uniform.

 

Now I'm here, posting.
