About Rudolph (and things to do on the ranch)
I was lazily staring at my TV, more specifically the Late Show (yes, we get all the social commentary from Letterman, Leno and O’Brien here as well – but with a week’s lag), and they had a “holiday shopping in New York quiz” – one of those things with two logical options and one comical. There was one showing a woman eating, and asking if she had stopped to get:
- a) Hot cocoa
- b) Soup and a sandwich
- c) Reindeer kabobs
…and it took me a few seconds to realize what the joke was supposed to be, because around here eating reindeer is nothing strange. Here in the northern parts, it’s probably a standard item on many people’s julbord as well (and yes, the traditional Swedish christmas meal comes in the form of a smörgåsbord)
So, how do people who have grown up with an image of reindeer only as the (sometimes) red-nosed animals in front of Santa’s sleigh feel about the tought of eating one? Say, compared to a cat? If there’s one thing I’d never eat, it’s cat… no matter what the Chinese say…
By the way, how would you feel about (someone) having sex with a reindeer? Compared to, for example, having sex with a horse? How does one do it with a horse, by the way? Do you need something to stand on, or is it a matter of taking a steady hold of the sattle and sort of hang over the beast’s butt? Or do people engaged in that sort of things prefer to hook up with small ponies? Is my conception of the horse’s.. uhm.. glory hole.. being somewhere at chest level wrong? Are perhaps stallions preferred, so it’s a matter of getting beneath the animal? Wouldn’t it be more practical to have sex with a reindeer, or is bigger better when it comes to animals? Many are the questions…
Sorry, I’m just horsing around – it turns out that the year’s most read online article in Seattle Times was about a guy who died after doing it, or rather being done, horsy style (I can’t figure out any other way it could lead to a perforated colon…) And Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing suggests articles about sweet equine luving as a way to increase traffic… so well, I’m getting on the horse-humping bandwagon as well. Be sure about that.
I wonder if Hollywood will see the possibilities in the subject? I mean, they did open the path for movies about sexually deviant cowboys this year.
