THE DEER WHO ATE MY SHIRT Is that a picture of the "deer who ate my shirt?" Actually, it's not. The deer in the picture is the "good" deer who rammed the other "bad" deer causing him to release his grip on my tee shirt so I could get away. We were at a "reptile farm and petting zoo" in Luray Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley not far from the Caverns. After going through the reptile part of the museum, you come out the gate into the petting zoo area, and you are standing under a big fake plaster dinosaur, which you can not see in the picture above. Susan stayed safely behind the gate while I ventured out into the animal pen area with the girls. Didn't take long for the "bad" deer to decide my shirt was lunch. Susan videotaped me trying to convince the deer to let go. Then our deer friend above, obviously the smartest deer in the herd, in order to befriend the humans, knew exactly what to do. This deer rams the other deer causing the deer to open his mouth long enough to let go. Deer are smart animals. The "smart" deer followed us back to the gate area, where she got special treats and attention. And as seen above is on our home video from the trip. How did I get myself into this? I traded in working on the nuclear wessels to changing diapers and spending every other weekend at either Home Depot or Price Club. Good thing I was clueless about having children - if I had known what I was signing up for, would I have? But like it says in that song by Creed, "With Arms Wide Open": I don't know if I'm ready to be the man I have to be..." Possible Featured Artists: (if I can acquire the songs on iTunes) Smashmouth: "Walking On The Sun" "All Star" "I'm A Believer" Dana Glover: "It Was You All Along" Primus: "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver" Dishwalla: "Counting Blue Cars" Jesus Jones: "Right Here Right Now" Pretenders: "I'll Stand By You." There is a funny story about the band "Primus" - oh yeah I remember now. They were originally called "Primates" but another band was already using that name, so they had to change it. That reminds me of the story of the restaurant chain "Denny's." It used to be called "Danny's" but there was another restaurant called "Danny's" that sued them to stop them from using the name. Now it seems like there is a Denny's at every exit off the interstate from coast to coast and I have eaten in most of them from Colorado to Maine (and in California, although I didn't drive all the way). That also reminds me of "U.K. Squeeze" having to change their name to just "Squeeze" (see "Danger Man" CD). |
