I saw Fluorescent Antlers open for Ice Missile at Arcticfest.
Cool show.

Yes but aren't they concerned that all of the other reindeer might laugh and call them names?

When you think about it, most of Santa's reindeer have names suggestive of extra bling

Wow! What a great adaptation. Who says evolution doesn't work?

Rudolph's out of a job.

Ask the Chinese for help. They can do wonders with genetics, but there might be certain side effects.
And Santa would likely give Rudolf a pink slip.

"...Lapland — a vast, deserted area in northern Finland...."
It's hardly deserted, or they wouldn't need protection. And the Saami (Lapps) know to watch for reindeer on the road. The durned citified reporters, on the other hand....

Rudolph's not out of a job, Clankazoid, he can finally do the job he was born for. It always bugged me as a kid that a reindeer with a taillight for a nose was put up front.

PG...So Rudolph has to ride behind the toys, facing backwards? I'm pretty sure this is gonna be an issue with the Reindeer Union...

So who gets to clean the front seat if the driver whips around a blind curve to see one of these things 20 feet away?
