They threw out their TVs?

[packagingguy]

Maybe I should lay off the Somenix and eat the bunnies’ hay.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

TVs — true that

But, more importantly, have you ever run across a reindeer on FR? They just don’t get worked up on Biden shenanigans.

“So if you ever get concerned that Santa’s fleet is overworked, know that all the time they spend ruminating while flying through the air helps them get through to Christmas morning.”

What does Santo do when his sleigh is pulled too fast? He holds on for deer life.

ground reindeer meat is good, but always add some bacon fat and check for radioactivity before cooking

Does having 4 stomachs mean that they need 4 doses of Antacids at a time ?

[Sequoyah101]

So, if I had four stomachs and could regurgitate the PBJ sandwich I had for dinner and the chew on it some more I wouldn't be sitting here drinking Nighty Night tea but I would have four times the heartburn? Sweet.

It would suck to be a reindeer or an Eskimo, just so darn cold and dark all winter.

Speaking of cold, I'd go to the shop but it is cold out there and the noise disturbs the cats. Insomnia and my aches and pains make for some very long nights.

Ruminants have to lie down to effectively ruminate it’s sort of like burping a baby. One thing about ruminate stomachs is that they don’t have four stomachs they have one stomach with four chambers.

[Chicory]

Ahhh, if only ruminating would help humans refresh themselves!

[Alas Babylon!]

Like cows, deer, camels, and llamas, reindeer are ruminants.

[Alas Babylon!]

That’s a load of tripe!

[Sirius Lee]

They left out this group:

Reminds me of a joke: A guy sits down at the bar next to some women who are chatting away with thick accents. He asks: "Are you ladies from Scotland?"

To which they reply, "It's Wales, you idiot."

Apologetically, the guy then says: "I'm sorry, are you whales from Scotland?"

Oh, I thought it had a trait to fly while hitched to a sleigh and a fat man (not Chris Christie) 🤓.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, DUNDER and BLIXEM.”

[MayflowerMadam]

Love reindeer sausage. (Why radioactivity?)

[Deplorable American1776]

This post is an insult...

To cows, deer, camels, and llamas, they are smarter than those so-called people. 🤓

Can I tell my dentist I self identify as a reindeer and chew Christmas candy all night?
