Was that a muledeer that frightened you back underwater? I never drove close to a muledeer. I'm rther certain I've never seen a muledeer. And when I first read that post from Omaha-Joe, I was pretty sure I've never heard of a muledeer.

Alane mocked me for that. So I appealed to Guido. And he mocked me, because he too was familiar with the ubiquitous muledeer. And then Steve joined the pile-on. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Vito dreamt about a muledeer -- those friggin' things seem to be showing up all over the place (for everyone but me).

Gimme a break -- I spend most of my outdoor time walking to/from my midtown office building. I do get to see some wildlife... but it's the mid-western tourist sort... camped out and Rockefeller Center, waiting to catch a glimpse of that insufferable fat bastard Al Roker.

If I swam to the surface of a medieval river and saw Al Roker drinking at the banks, I would immediately return to the bottom.
