Postino - I Love It
It looks like somebody killed and skinned a Fuzzy Antlered Lamprey, those teeth don't belong on a deer.
Is it a joke or an ad? Fashion AD.
As they say on Fark:
bag

antlers
...the whole lot of 'em.

I think your graphic artist is very talented and has a great carrier ahead.
I hope you can work it out--that is sooo cute

Thanks, I'll let my graphic artist know :
I was hoping to use it, unaltered, as my Christmas avatar... unfortunately it is too faint and too pink when used this way. I'm now considering what I need to do to it to make it suitable. I suspect using the antlers and Christmas hat on my current avatar is going to be the easiest approach, requiring only three or four layers. It's possible that some colour massaging and clever downsampling might make it "just work" but I am not holding my breath.

Watch a man scare a moose.
The hunter may have been from Norway, but the nutter with the cardboard antlers is definitely *Canadaian.
On a related note... A Møøse once bit my sister.
Kim: Youngest Person To Have Gender Reassignment Surgery
My friend's kid swears up and down he's a jackalope. His parents are considering antler-reassignment surgery.
Damn Nature, You Sca-- Wait. Just a Deer?
Ah yes! Cracked.com. That stalwart bastion of Natural History information and knowledge. I'm glad they are finally taking their rightful place as Sifters goto guys in this dept over BBC and Nat Geo.

My understanding is that they'll do it for the calcium in order to grow antlers. http://www.cracked.com/article_19126_5-adorable-anim

Conan's Bugatti Veyron Mouse
I read it wrong. I was expecting antlers as I thought I was going to see a moose.
Perhaps he should do that for tomorrow night. A Buggati moose for another $1.5 million!
Best albums of 2009! (Rocknroll Talk Post)
As a mellow album I liked The Antlers
A master bladesmith makes beautiful knives
Yeah our professor is kind of hard on people who come into the program who only want to be bladesmiths. Not only because it's a fine art program but he also stresses over an over how hard it is to make it as a bladesmith. Knives are hard work! Personally, it took me FOREVER to forge and finish them.

I have made many custom decorative knives. (though haven't in a while)
I got my steel from the huge carbide blades used by the mills.
I drew out my pattern, and cut out the shape using a cutting torch.
Then it was grinding, wet-sanding and polishing. I used 3/8-1/2" thick brass plate to decorate the handle and then finish with bone or exotic woods. Brass welding rod, cut and used as a rivet, held the handle together. Then more polishing, and then some more, sharpen it up and you got a knife.
I gave every single one I made, including a great dagger, away as gifts. I only ever kept one of them. A 10" hunting knife with a deer antler handle. It has a great pattern on the blade but it was more functional than decorative.
100s of hours of work and nothing to show for it...
Edit: I didn't forge my own steel - though who wouldn't want to get into that - this guy is so lucky to have made a career of it!
