The buck stops there.

*over loudspeaker*
Herb, Blitzen on aisle five.

The Blog appears to be in a blogging frenzy...he must have a book he's trying to strumpet or something...
Posted by: Philintexas | November 08, 2006 at 09:56 PM
yikes, Edgar...almost psychic simul...
Posted by: Siouxie | November 08, 2006 at 09:56 PM
Aisle five, check
Posted by: Herb | November 08, 2006 at 10:01 PM
Rather ironic that the buck ran into a TARGET store.
Posted by: Just Ducky | November 08, 2006 at 10:04 PM
good thing he ran out an open, and not a closed door.
and *snork* Sioux, "buck stopped here."
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | November 08, 2006 at 10:05 PM
d'ya think he came from WalMart?
Posted by: diverdowndoc | November 08, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Pre-Christmas mission for Santa Claus.
Posted by: ron | November 08, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Thanks Wyo!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | November 08, 2006 at 10:06 PM
And WTF is up with the robot?
Posted by: diverdowndoc | November 08, 2006 at 10:07 PM
He left when he saw the rifles in the sports department. *if you ask me, when you hear yourself described as an 8-point anything, it's time to run for cover*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | November 08, 2006 at 10:13 PM
Waves to Herb *hee hee*

And tingles a little at the simul.

..."Polk County Animal Control arrived.
'He was tired and scared. His tongue was hanging out,' Frasher said."
Sounds like Polk County Animal Control is out of control.

Esther, were you the agnostic insomniac dislexic who stayed up all night wondering if there really was a dog?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | November 08, 2006 at 10:31 PM
Actually, I'm more apt to walk into a bra and order a bree...
Posted by: Esther5kids | November 08, 2006 at 10:38 PM
that reminds me of a joke-
Punkin walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long....oh, deer!"
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 08, 2006 at 10:45 PM
Jeez, why all the panic? Poor guy was probably just looking for some reindeer games.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 08, 2006 at 10:46 PM
The buck caused no damage and left no droppings.
Poor thing was scared sh!tless.
Posted by: slyeyes | November 08, 2006 at 10:46 PM
He was applying for the bilingual ass position.
Posted by: Stevie W | November 08, 2006 at 11:13 PM
* double snork * at sly
Maybe not at the Target, but I have been there: The overwhelming sensation of severe rectal tension. Or as my daddy would say, "I think my A$$hole just slammed shut."
Posted by: Meditrina | November 08, 2006 at 11:15 PM
because blurkie's not here to say it -
"Nice rack!"
and a belated *snork* to just ducky for pointing out that it was a TARGET store.
overheard from the crowd - "...tsk, tsk...this would NEVER happen in East Des Moines."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 08, 2006 at 11:36 PM
Maybe he was looking for the 99cent store and needed change for a buck.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 08, 2006 at 11:37 PM
Annie's on a roll.
Would you have any grey poupon?
Posted by: Stevie W | November 08, 2006 at 11:46 PM
Deer prudence - not.
Posted by: Stevie W | November 08, 2006 at 11:47 PM
He was looking for the jewelry department. He was bringing his gemsbok.
Posted by: Stevie W | November 08, 2006 at 11:49 PM
He was filling in for the Wells Fargo truck - there to pick up the doe.
Posted by: shellann | November 09, 2006 at 12:21 AM
And now, deer reader:
Poor dear!
You gotta have hart?
D'oh! A Deer! A female deer! <- The Simpsons
Because the Moose Lodge was closed?
Deer Hart, I want you to know...
He had to put his purchases on a charge card, because he didn't have any doe?
Posted by: PirateBoy | November 09, 2006 at 12:31 AM
that's one Serious Roebuck there....
Posted by: insomniac | November 09, 2006 at 12:33 AM
Wow - happy pun day, everyone. What a way to celebrate.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 09, 2006 at 01:05 AM
It went North on Fawn Hall.
Posted by: Stevie W | November 09, 2006 at 01:55 AM
Good morning, Right Coasters!
Muskrats and wombats and terrorist squirrels,
New books and dumb crooks and boys that are girls.
Interesting toystores and misguided deer,
These are the reasons that I snorked my beer.
Stupendous catcalls when Twitney dumped Kevin,
Vigorous strumpeting 24/7.
Boogers and snorkers with differing views,
These are the reasons that Mel hates the...news.
Canucks run amok and some Britons need glasses,
Big ugly snails and they're hiring @sses,
Studly hot pronghorn and nasty hot fat,
These are the reasons I am where I'm at.
When your job bites,
When your butt stings,
When you're feelin' bad
You simply remember these snorkable things
And then you won't feel so sad!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 09, 2006 at 02:13 AM
Xlnt, xlnt, xlnt...you do like that song, don't you?
PS Your "Mel" song is even better; I did one to the same melody but it doesn't hold a candle.

"No corporate-mandated contingency plan in place."
"Randall, I specifically told you to come up with a contingency plan for wildlife entering our stores."
"Sorry, sir, I thought you meant squirrels."
Posted by: Guin | November 09, 2006 at 06:47 AM
Just a reindeer checking on the Christmas stuff for Santa.
Posted by: Mikey123 | November 09, 2006 at 07:20 AM
8-point Buck? And here I always thought a buck was eight bits.

Now was its dance a soft
hoofshoe, or perhaps abuckfoxtrot?Posted by: Baron VonKlyff | November 09, 2006 at 08:05 AM
"He was tired and scared. His tongue was hanging out." Sounds like me when Mrs. Layzee drags me around the mall.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | November 09, 2006 at 08:09 AM
Being involved in my company's upcoming Disaster Recovery (for our Information Technology systems; I'm a DBA [Oracle/SQL Server]), this paragraph got my attention:
"Frasher said the store had no corporate-mandated contingency plan designed to deal with the wayward deer, which led employees on a lap around the store before running out an open door about 20 minutes later, just before Polk County Animal Control arrived."
Hmm...maybe I'll have to include a Deer Contingency Plan in my DR documentation...
Posted by: chinohillster | November 09, 2006 at 01:09 PM
Deer. Target. Reference: "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal."
For those who get it, enjoy. All others, kindly move along...
Posted by: WriterDude | November 09, 2006 at 01:31 PM
Annie,
love the song. It's the best parody of any song I've heard.
I think the deer was rather behoofed to leave.
*from the loud speaker*
*Deer:8, Target employees:0*
Don't worry, I'm just horsing around.
Oh deer I seem to have run out puns,
could any of you spare me some?
Posted by: No Name Rock Band | November 09, 2006 at 02:39 PM
WD, I love the Far Side© - I've already got my desk calender for next year!
Posted by: sthnbelle | November 09, 2006 at 04:47 PM
Annie, Whatever you are on today, I want some!
WriterDude, I got it and I enjoyed it.
