Yes, that does sound like Fader. Actually, a good portion of the crew was like that at times.

Just hit a deer on my way home from work. I was driving down Dresher Road, and it ran across from the oncoming lane, directly into me. I barely had time to spot it before it hit me.

Fortunately my car is not badly damaged, though I will have to get it repaired next week when I get back from Connecticut.

And to put the cherry on top of this particular sundae, when I got home one of my neighbors was using the laundry room, so now I will have to turn back around and drive out to the laundromat. GRRR!!!!

With hostility towards all life,

Did I mention this day started out with a 7:30 AM dental appointment?

Yes, you did.

Did you gut and bring the deer home?

Karl says if you bought that house for sale in Norristown you could have your own laundry.

Come to think of it, he goes on to say, there's a house next door to us for the same price. A bit larger, and with an Italianate in ground pool...

No, I did not gut the deer and bring it home. That deer had the stupids.

Not that I wouldn't want you as neighbors, but the commute from Allentown would be a little out of hand.

Yeah, true. But we would happily come and help you clean out the pool!

Next on House MD: "This man got Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease from a deer!"

And I see that your brother says he hit a deer too. Is there no end to the torment for the Achesons?

Ah, now you're tipping your hand!

You know how little brothers are, I do something and he has to do it too... ;)

What was the last thing to go through that deer's mind? MY WHOLE DARN CAR.

Mark, Matt, and I discussed the expedition to see the MST3K guys do movies on New Year's Eve, and realized that it would be vital to get our tickets relatively early so we're assured of getting seats. To this end, we decided on an arbitrary deadline of Friday for deciding if we're going.

Count me in. Just let me know where we want to meet beforehand.

--Joe

I'm not going to the New Year's Eve show, I've decided. I just don't want to be driving home at 2 in the morning.

Jon A.

Going up to Connecticut with my parents to see my grandfather in the nursing home. Probably won't be a cheery trip, but it's one I've been needing to do for a while.

Have a good weekend, everybody!

Jon A.

Is there a mass ordering of these tickets by Friday, or are we ordering them solo. If its a group thing count me in.

Ben

Matt and I are going to the Keswick Theater box office tomorrow to buy tickets. Ben, I'll add you to the list of people we're buying tickets for.

--Jon

Hah! Looks like the RiffTrax guys couldn't be left out either. Live Christmas shorts riffing thingy will be broadcast to theaters on December 16th and 17th.

-- Mark
I guess the Plan 9 thing must have been a success if they're doing another one.

I've held back on committing to the MST3k New Year's event as I am still hoping to be able to get tickets to the NHL Winter Classic for New Year's Day. Boston Bruins hosting the Philadelphia Flyers in Fenway Park. I hope they've got hot cocoa.

For the RiffTrax Christmas shorts, I'm in. Shall we organize another group for Plymouth Meeting?

-Craig
RiffTrax attendees are given a link to download "an autographed digital photo of the guys"... does that make the autograph a digital signature? <rimshot>

Deer are amongst the most stupidest of animals. I was moving this weekend and less than 200 yards from returning to the U-haul lot a fawn ran out onto 309 and ran into the rear wheels of the truck. Fortunately no damage to the truck, but the poor animal broke its rear legs. Behind me was Eric G driving my truck - behind him a police officer from Hatfield Township, who was able to put the poor beast out of its misery.
