Open Thread – Oh, Deer!
I loved this photo which was a winner of the National Wildlife Federation’s wildlife photo contest. Now they are looking for captions. Click HERE if you want to enter, and be sure to put your entry in the comments below too!
With that head of hair, my entry was: “YOU’RE FIRED!”
Damn birds…no more long naps!
Darn, where’s that last Bumpit! I really need some control today.

The Washington Post has an eyeopener chart of Bush vs. Obama spending/debt.

The problem is that most Americans don’t care about the truth. They get their news from Fox or from friends who watch Fox. I sometimes despair – and then there’s something like Mr. Deer and his elaborate headdress. I think he’s trying on some extra camouflage for hunting season.
“This was a test, and only a test. I only wanted to know who would pass the buck, and who wouldn’t.”
I can’t believe no one has suggested this yet:
Bambi Bumpit.
Yeah, that’s right. They’re not just for Brainless Bimbos anymore.
OMG! Will Sarah NEVER comb her hair?!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, wait. That’s The Donny.
Heh

The big straw poll is coming up in 10 days. This will be held in Ames , Iowa.
On WHO news tonight—–people are being paid to attend. Free bus ride to Ames, food, intertainment—-the works. WOW!!!!! Some canidates with their big buses cruising Iowa.
Write-in votes will be allowed for canidates who have not yet entered the race.
And the ADS are saying—–Don’t give Obama a blank check! Whew!
What am I missing here?

We have a racoon in our backyard this afternoon. He/she? is eating the squirrels treat put out.
It has now taken it’s treat under the boat in the backyard ——a little shade for dining.?
It’s so nice that the squirrels leave snacks our for their raccoon friends.
I’m subletting to a family of squirrels.

On an OT but happy, happy note…it’s raining!!!
I mean REALLY raining, not just a quick cloud spit that barely wets the ground or a fast cloudburst that drains right off and into the storm drains. Nope, this is REAL rain that soaks into the ground and waters the all vegetation that’s turned brown over the past few weeks. My lawn has not been mowed since July 6th, and didn’t even really need it then.
(And, on a purely selfish note, the concert I didn't really want to perform in tonight has been cancelled!)
You sound like a Juneauite who just hasn’t moved yet!
I just got back from lunch with several friends and was telling them that I’m hoping to get back to Alaska next summer. I’ve been there 4 times and wanted to go back this year but putting new siding on my house took precedence. However, I just turned 50 last October
and I really need to do something nice for myself, so a trip back to Alaska sounds like just the thing!
(And, of course, a stop in Juneau would be on the itinerary!)
I’ve already told all my friends that if I ever win the lottery, I’m packin’ up and heading for AK!
If my forum PM account isn’t active if or when you visit again, do a shout out here or contact AKM and we’ll meet up!
Woot! Congratulations on all counts-
Coming to the Toronto Film Festival: Sarah Palin–You Betcha
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/60613.html
I recently had the opportunity to talk to many folks from Toronto about Palin and after what I heard them say, I’m sure the film will be well received there. They say she’s a flippin’ idiot in several languages; i.e: Chinese, Italian, Punjabi, Tagalop/Pilipino, Portugese, Spanish, English and French. Canadians seem to be more puzzled about US residents supporting her than worried about her own idiot self having any chance at a seat of power.
Anybody have an extra can of Aqua Net?
“Great! National Geographic, I’ll give ’em a show!”
“It wasn’t too bad until the eggs hatched, but now the chirping is driving me crazy.”
Jack Cafferty asks if Trump or Palin are the answer to the nation’s problems–he’s asking for opinions now and will read out answers during his 6pm schedule. His set-up to the question will likely cause Palin’s hair to match the lovely Buck’s above (Donald doesn’t have anything to worry about since his coiff already looks like the one that the Buck is sporting):

Moving day for the E.A.Glet family went as scheduled. beth.
good!
“Why, yes; yes I do…I do put the ‘haught’ in ‘haughty’.” beth.
Hedda Hopper with antlers???
Ha Ha! I’ve done it again…no one will ever see me in this disguise.
“All I have to do is hide my antlers, and the does tell me everything! It’s a straight path after that to get them into bed.”
MUYS
Youare certainly on a roll & everyone is giggle/snicker worthy…hope you win.
I will not chew gum in bed

“OK, I’ll admit it. I’ll do anything for sex. What about you?”
“Oh yeah? What might YOU be wearing if someone walked into YOUR bathroom unannounced?”
“I’m still carrying a little left over holiday weight, you see. Does this take the focus away from my butt, you think?”
‘Am too busy giggling over the other suggestions to even THINK of something:-))
Nice way to start the ‘hump day’ :-))
“So, I was birdsitting this baby eagle for a few bucks…I’m just getting warmed up here…”
Speaking of hair…have you noticed that Palin is wearing her hair a lot more like Michelle Bachmann’s these days? One day, on Fox, she even had her fringe swept off her face and with the exception of the part being on the other side, her hair was almost exactly like Bachmann’s.
Her hair has a death all of its own!
” I SAID I would be sporting a grasshat – not goring an asshat!”
“Damn – I’m going to be paying for this fashion statement deerly for the rest of my life!”
“Who says being a gay deer is a choice?”
What do you mean, my spots give me away?????
“So I use a little grass to spice up my sex life – what of it?”
“I’m having bad antler day – so sue me!”
“Does this grass hat make my butt look big?”
Just what I was thinking!
Bwa ha ha! Good think I wasn’t drinking when I read this…keeping the roll of paper towels close by.
Guess I was just looking at the polka dots Tigerwine @12
I know about speedo swim suits. Grandson was on the swim team and believe me, it was itsy bitsy.
so I guess our “male” deer is wearing a polka dot speedo.
Lacy Lady – I don’t know which is worse, seeing your dad or your kid in a Speedo!
We get male deer doing the same thing around our place. Usually they just rip the bark off the trees that the females have marked with urine, sort of letting the ladies know they’re around and ready for action. Looks like this guy either rutted where a female marked a tall batch of grass or the grass was very high around the tree the female urinated on.
Messing up saplings also gets the guys really excited, if you know what I mean…
“Oh, yeah?. Well, you just try finding the needle”.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Me, too.
No one had the heart to tell Buck that big-hair bands had died out in the 1980s.
i am in hysterics. i have seen it all now. please will someone tell me how this youngster got his ‘do’? he looks like an eagle’s nest plopped down on his head and he decided to wear it to go a courting.

LOL WOW ok I can’t help but wonder what in the world was that Deer doing?

Open Thread: The comments section on this article are worth a read (Palin attacks Obama for “palling around with terrorists” after Biden’s alleged remarks):
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/03/palins-domestic-terrorist-punch-to-obama/?hpt=po_bn2
Ugh, she is so annoying, just like a bunch of gnats at a picnic.
Silly me…the should be “Alaskan buck wins audition….”
Can you still see me?
“…making sure each strand is saturated. Pile loosely on top of head…” beth.
Ha!
“I fooled all those hunters. They all think I’m Sarah Palin! They all stay far away from me knowin’ she can’t shoot straight!”
Think anyone can tell it’s a wig?
I think that I have sawdust for brains
WHAT???!!! Guys don’t wear fancy hats at Ascot? Oh Geez…
Just back from the Royal Wedding.
Now that is clever!
I was thinking along those lines as well.
Oh, look, it’s the Queen Mum!!
only its a males, rats.
that’s a good one!
Gets my vote!
I don’t have a clever caption, I just think it’s one of cutest,funniest, most endearing things I’ve ever seen.
I’m glad to see that a couple us realized this was a male! (Blush)
so that’s a itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot speedo ??? eeeeuuuuuhhhh!!
Oh, Ben – that’s exactly my kids reaction when their dad was telling them about his Olympic gear! He was a volunteer at the ’96 Olympics in Atlanta, and at one time was told that he would have to stay at a local college dorm, and that they would provide him with Speedo shower footwear, among other things. This never came to pass, because they decided to just have him come home each evening. BUT, all the kids had to hear was Speedo, and they just about lost it trying (or not) to picture their father in Speedo swimwear!
Thanks for the laugh and the memory!
She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini
Another Wasilla look.
I’m not only the President of Hair Club for Men, I’m a customer, too.
Perfect! You get my vote for the best caption!
Thank you. I’m flattered.
Yep, that’s it.

Had to read that one twice, very funny!
How’s my hat? too much? just right? I so want to look stylish for the royal wedding.
You know there is a good joke in there somewhere … I’ll start … two deer are sitting at a bar, one turns to the other and says …
Only my hairdresser knows for sure!
” I just HATE what humidity does to my hair “
Well, that certainly got my attention! Will be watching to see my fellow Mudflatters come up with captions. I’m not in a very creative mood this morning!
The guy on the street who sold them to me said they were Ray Bans.
“You can’t see me!”
my oldest when little, would say that when she didn’t want to be “talked” to. …
Since I couldn’t find instructions on how to make a post I will piggy-back on this post. My entry was “When I am down in the dumps I always get a new hat. Do you like it?
That’s a Queen’s creation !! (Charmers, Dazzlers)..
