Something different from the usual iron sculptures and whatnot  ;D

What is it?
Proper capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

I love the fact that this light sculpture is put up by somebody with a flowery hummingbird feeder

I'm gonna guess that you live in a city. :) It's clearly a freshly gutted deer. :)

I hate xmas, I'm seriously considering making one of those.

Yeah, I thought it was odd at first too, just because a deer doesn't hang like that.

Um....yer honah.....the defense would like to introduce exhibit A in reply to the blatant lies by missioncontrol

Missioncontrol is implying that there's a deer hunter out there that's lazier than Stingray.  Move to dismiss yer honah.

When I first saw it, you could tell it's a photoshop job, but go back and take another look at it.  Does it seem like it's a little "Christmas Card" looking?  Not the deer itself, but the whole picture, if you didn't get it.....doesn't it strike you as the way those fake scenes look on the front of a Christmas card?  I find that to be the odd thing  :D

Make sure to tell your wife to let us know where the funeral will be held so we can visit.  You lifting a deer, even to put it in your trebuchet, is sure to kill you.  If it doesn't, the wrapping of lights around it will at least give you a stroke.

It's missing something...  Maybe a disemboweled Santa hanging next to it...

Okay, you talked me out of it. I think I'll just go out on the deck and try to keep the dogs away from my beer instead.

After you gave me the heads-up on that spiral bound book idea, it was the least I could do.  If we don't look out for each other there, who will?

We're like a brotherhood or something.  A loosely knit apathetic lazy brotherhood ;D

Those people in the video have got to learn that they live in America, the land of freedom of expression. It is kinda gross, but its also funny. Did anyone notice how they did not interview one male in the video?

There are a few people in my school who are either really afemeniate men or really masculine women. Most of the time, I can't tell, so I just look at the chest. If there is a buldge, its probably a girl, or a really fat guy.

Better test.  If it's dressed like a lumberjack, it's a woman ;)
