Rudolph the Reindeer was tragically killed when he ran into a traffic light at a Santa Claus Parade in Richmond, Virginia. Thousands of horrified children saw Rudolph slowly expire before their very eyes.

Looks more like just a case of bad planning to me. I heard that a Great Root Bear perished in just this way in South Dakota a few years ago. Then there was the Ronald McDonald that went down in a drive-by shooting in Sacramento, and the giant inflatable Labatt's 50 Beer Can that got nailed by the Human Cannonball act at a country Fall Fair in London, Ontario. We need to establish better safety standards to protect our inflatable friends.

The reindeer who pull Santa's sleigh look nothing at all like the spike white-tail deer in the parade. Reindeer males (reindeer are domesticated caribou) lose their antlers throughout December and early January, females in the summer.

Shucks, I wouldn't waste powder or an arrow on that little bitty critter that was offed by the stoplight. If it WAS full grown it's genetically recessive, as it would have no antlers to speak of with which to engage other males and perpetuate its genes.

Stories from Santa, from Kamloops BC:

""One day, a young lad of about 12 came up to Santa and declared; "You're not real. You're just a big lie and I think you're a liar."

Time for some North Pole diplomacy.

"Son, you are entitled to your opinion of me and I'm sure you have your reasons for your assessment, but let me say that you look to me to be quite intelligent, so I'd like to give you something to think about," Santa recalled telling the pre-teen.""

Yes, my image is one based on a fable and my silly stories made up in my imagination but, you know what, son? They make people happy for this short season and, in a world of pain and misery for so many, I choose to think that that can't be a bad thing and I can't help but think you do."


The boy listened to him, Santa said, and his stern look softened, as he wished Santa a Merry Christmas"".



""Santa was sitting in a mall near a liquor store. He saw a man who, if he wasn't homeless was the next thing to it, go into the store day after day to buy a bottle. One day, the man stopped and asked if he could get his photo taken with Santa.

"Well, I looked at him and I said: 'Mikey — I knew his name because I'm Santa, of course — you've got a decision to make. You can go spend your money on something in a brown bag in that store or you can use it to get your picture taken with me.'

"He said he'd have the photo taken, so he paid for it and he stood beside me dressed in stained and tattered clothes. I told him to smile," Santa said.

"He said he couldn't because he didn't have many teeth. I told him smile or no photo. So, he smiled."When the picture was given to him, I tell you, he looked at it and it wasn't Mikey in his rags standing there. I could see the little boy Mikey had been before his life went wrong. It was magic.""


And, with those tales told, Santa smiled, winked — and then was gone.

I've heard other stories about Santa's origin. I've heard that he was originally from Germany.

This is quite clear from the names of some of the reindeer. Donner and Blitzen, for example, mean Thunder and Lightning in German.

Unfortunately, Santa's Germanic origin has been denied by the English-speaking world ever since relations with the Germans took a nosedive in 1914. And that's not all! People in England were actually doing idiotic things like attacking Dachshunds after war broke out with Germany. Perfectly innocent little dogs were being abused in the streets of Londons by morons who couldn't think past their first kneejerk reaction to common national symbols.

It was tragic! But I digress...

Now, I have also heard that Santa Clauses are actually a separate species, a rare and very fierce primate that is found only in the remote wilderness of Lappland. Their proper name is...the Father Christmas

Thanks for the link, Ed.

==========================
I wanna get back to the original topic of this thread - the supposed death of Rudolf.

It never ceases to amaze me that sometimes we love the logical and analytical. We watch I-don't-know-how-many versions of CSI. We read mysteries. There's even a play about Sherlock Holmes on in my town.

Yet let some malicious tabloid (The Daily Mail, Little Hawk!) start a rumor, and we believe every word. But let's consider the canon.

"When what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a miniature sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer."

Does that thing in the photos look like a TINY reindeer? No way! It's an obvious fake.

And then:

Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it, you would even say, "It glows!"

Does that phantasm in the photo have a nose that glows? No, it does not. Its nose is some kind of polyplastic with a matte finish.

If we're going to adulate puzzlesolvers, let's do it all the time.

Rudolf is fine, everybody.

Joe, thanks for responding. You're so much better company than some people, who, when faced with an intellectual and literary challenge, panic and start to babble about William Shatner.

Rap, Rudolf's nose can glow without being radioactive. It's just a form of natural variation. I, for one, have oily skin, and I had a shiny nose myself for many years.

Speaking of reindeer, when I was a little kid, I was baffled by this song:

Up on the housetop, reindeer paws -
out jumps good old Santa Claus -

I always wondered "What about their paws?" They bring them up and then say nothing more. Oh, the illogicality of adults!

Nope, the song says "it glows." Oily skin would require an external light source. The glow has to be internal. Maybe Rudolph has batteries and if so, who changes them and how?

Rap, dear, it the song states, "You would even SAY it glows."

The difference between what people say and what actually is true is at the very heart of this discussion.

The original post linked to the Daily Mail. I believe the Daily Mail is the UK equivalant of the America's National Inquirer, the newspaper that claimed lollipops cure baldness. Does Canada have a paper like that? Or are Canadians too tasteful?

Canadians have known about the lollipop cure for years. Look at Shatner.

Leena is right about the nose just being shiny and not having an internal light source. That is why Santa's Sleigh is constantly monitored for safety while in Canadian airspace and is required to have proper, functioning running lights and landing lights in accordance with Ministry of Transport air safety regulations.

Such erroneous claims in the song also lead to Mr Gene Autry not being able to perform in front of Canadian children without a scientist to explain these errors and the song and cartoon were never aired in Canada without a disclaimer about the danger of aircraft without proper running and landing lights.

Oddly enough, hockey playing racoons were considered perfectly OK for children. But that is for another thread.

He was stripped to the waist... just black CAF grunt issue boots (he was an F-101 Voodoo pilot - go figure, eh? - at CFB Chatham, NB and later flew choppers when they got rid of the Voodoos),red checked pants held up by suspenders and that silly hat. When he spotted us, he ran for his cabin and Dale floored it and made a cloud of dust! He then jammed the truck as far in the woods as he could and just in the Nicholas of time. Sandy cracked a few 303's down the road into the dust but we were out out the line of fire.

Jolly old elf my ass. That is one mean Good Ol Boy ya don't wanna mess wit sonny bubbles!

I figure he's got a grow-op onna go an that there ruse about toys for kiddies is a cover fer his real cash flow. I mean, he flies by night, right?

Can you imagine how different the world would be if Santa Claus was a copyrighted character and not public domain?

Certainly Disney would own him by now.

I don't know gnu. Some parents may be fearful of letting your Santa (recollection) in the house, with little children in it. Sounds like an "adults only" version of "the jolly gent".

LH... you only read the ones on the old threads and in my PMs (and the odd one lately). The stuff I would never post on the net is far... ahhhh... far more unbelievable and it's all true. Like I said... no shit... that lad is hard enough ya could drive him inta solid ground. And, he is relatively "mild" since he became a daddy.

For anyone who is just now reading about Dale... I do not associate with such persons. He was a neighbour of mine and I had to live and let live. Get along or get gone, I always say. I sold my camps for various reasons and Dale was one of them.

Hi, gnu. I'm intrigued by your observation that Santa had red-checked pants on. When I worked in a fabric store, I tried to convince customers that Santa costumes did not have to look exactly like the Santa in the Coke ads, but I was wasting my breath. They wanted the red jacket, the red pants, the black belt, the white trim...

Maybe there are regulations for Santa's suit, just as there are for his sleigh. If so, Santa was in mufti the day you saw him.

This is true: One day I read a book about the folkore of today's children. This gist was that today's (American) children feel affection for the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny, even though most of them know they are not real. But they are intimidated by Santa. Santa is too big, too male, too hairy and has too much power.

From what gnu reports, the kids are spot on.

The answer's not hard to explain
The answer is Saddam Houssein
Saddam Houssein had a list. Santa has a list.
Easter Bunny and Tooth fairy have
no conditions on their gifts.

Santa will end up like Saddam one day...condemned to death by hanging by a kangaroo court, for encouraging unregulated mass consumerism (a modern form of what is deemed to be terrorist activity) and hiding Weapons of Mass Destruction that imperil the whole world (Daisy BB Guns). This will be after he is hunted down hiding in a "spiderhole" at the North Pole, following a massive "Shock and Awe" military campaign in the polar region. The campaign will claim the lives of 138,000 Elves, 24,000 Inuit, 620,000 caribou and polar bears (collateral damage), and 13 Western Alliance soldiers killed by friendly fire. The remaining Elves will be incarcerated for some time at secret prisons in Lybia, Iraq, and newly-liberated Syria, where they will be tortured with electric prods, waterboarding, and German Shepherd dogs.

Democracy will finally be brought to Santa's Workshop!!! (well, what's left of it...)

Years later it will be revealed that the real reason for the invasion will have been strictly a financial one. Santa was not paying import duties and taxes on goods crossing the American border.

Aha! Good point. You are quite right. It is clear that the Chinese bought out Santa some time ago, perhaps as early as the end of the 1980s.

Innu! Innu! The Innu live in Northern La Belle Province. Yes, I know it's pedantic to some but Sandy's corporate HQs is in PQ so I would assume he would be found in an Innu spider hole. UnLESS US Intel indicates there are WMDs where they know they are not (so to speak) the Inuit are safe. Of course, that could never happen, right???

leeneia... Sandy was issued two workin, one steppin out when he was inducted in the RCAF. He ain't gonna wear steppin out when he's splittin wood! Geeze oh eh?

I see what you mean, gnu. (And how many people can claim that?) Sure, he wears his checked pants for working around the cottage at the North Pole. But does a real man wear red velveteen pants, even for stepping out?

leeneia... I kinda hate to be the one break this to you but, Sandy's a bear of a man, so to speak. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's not like he's a pedophile, eh? I've heard rumours about Candy Claus too and it seems kinda suspicious s/he only came on the scene in 1849 and that was only in a book in which the odd couple, er, ahhh, oLd couple were not the Claus' but relatives in disguise.

leeneia... who's he gonna tell? Besides, if he bangs out a few shells into a cloud of dust thinking he's gonna crack or even scare a couple of good ol boys, he's clearly losing it. We coulda told the RCMP about it but we plan to go back with a load a yer rock maple 8s and a bottle of Swish and have a bitch n' stitch. After Christmas, of course on accounta we figger he's busy about now. Plus, we are gonna bring OUR list of who's been naughty. Few people know Sandy was in the RCAF and trained at Camp X or that he packs a Sten and munitions on The Eve. This here Kringle (spelling?) guy is first on the list. He's been VERY naugthy. He might see four if he doesn't stand to.
