When Dead Deer Don't Disappear

Well, this photo made my day..

Really, road kill pictures?

This is just another indicator of the real problem: County Government is a redundant and costly waste of money.

That picture looks kind of like how I feel after the market nosedived again today.

Dow a deer a female deer?

Petition: Remove Our Idiot People -- NJ Chapter

Dear Governor Corzine:

We deer have as much right to this planet as any of your other constituents who happen to walk on two legs. There's a case to be made that we have even more right--we were here first, before even the Native Americans walked across the land bridge from Siberia. We frolicked here when the dinosaurs and woolly mammoths walked the Earth, and we shared the land with them happily. We didn't even mind people so much until they started shooting at us--first with bows and arrows, then guns and now SUVs as well. The slaughter of our kind has taken place without hardly any notice from human leaders. Lately murder has turned to an even more heinous crime: cervicide--the stated goal of wiping out our species from the leafy (but hardly green) suburbs of your fair state. Hunters are taking to trees and shooting to kill.

We deer are writing to you to ask you, in the name of a godless, indifferent universe, to stop these crimes. How much longer can this go on? Do you even care that it's happening on your watch?

Sincerely yours, etc.

Puss and Pork--thanks for the laugh!

I clicked "Post" only once, Ok. I can't wait till the Barista do the upgrade.

I came across this view this morning as I pulled into the office complex where I work. Eagle Rock from West Orange to Roseland is loaded with deer and it has become a weekly thing to see one after being hit by a car.

MI, a name I call my elk.

Not one of your better posts, mathilda. That you presume to speak for the deer, too, it's just a wee sma' bit presumptuous. I's called "species-ism," and you might even be ashamed for being so bold as to practice it.

what a waste of venison and deer skin.

La, what chubbies sing to Boo

When you're not choking on a chicken bone. ;)

Okay, I guess you two are a couple?

FA, what deer do in the woods
SO, what else is new today?
LA, lalalalalala!
TI, I'd rather have a beer and
forget I have no dough!

Maybe someone's trying to make the county government an offer they can't refuse ...

Good one, MM

LOL!!!

Never again will I be able to watch the Sound of Music with the same ignorant bliss!

ewwww... there was one yesterday on Upper Mountain Ave on someone's sidewalk.

Yet another reason to get rid of those darn slippery bluestone slabs.

Oops! I'll have to go to another thread. I saw the picture and thought it was a Palin campaign poster.

I know I'm repeating myself, but his is just another example of the disaster that is the Corzine Administration.

Until Jon Corzine became governor, the State of New Jersey was responsible for removing dead deer from the highways and byways of our state.

In one of his many attempts to shirk his duties as governor, Jon Corzine decreed in 2006 that the state would no longer perform this "Service" and that responsibility for removing deer carcasses would now fall on the Counties and the Munis. No additional funding was provided, the state just pocketed the savings - about
$750k.

Jon Corzine -

Worst.Governor.Ever

Is it me or are those cold, dead eyes following me........?

What would a maverick do to get a deer off the road?

Q. What do you get when you cross a female deer and a pickle?

A. A dildoe

Suggested campaign slogan for Chris Christie:

Vote for me! I'll clean up Trenton, and deer carcasses too!

Dough? Oh, dear. It's gone, I hear.

I hope they get the dead deer before they change into zombie deer. Unless they're slow zombies, in which case it shouldn't be a problem so long as you pay attention. But man, if they're fast zombies derived from an already-fast animal, that would be wicked terrifying.

Except they don't have thumbs, so they couldn't wield chainsaws. Woah nellie! Chainsaw-wielding zombie deer! I would just about wet my pants. And then, while I was distracted by wondering how they could have started the chainsaws, I'd already be dead.

Zombie deer will eat your brains!

Mathilda-

You are absolutely right. The Deer roamed NJ far before American settlers. They have every right to be here. But there is an overpopulation problem, and the deer are starving, and eating the forrest that protects the other animals. We have three options. 1) Let all the smaller creatures die because Bambi eats their leaves. 2) We shoot the Deer and feed the homeless (you do know that the deer meat goes to the food bank, right? Technically, Homeless people have been here longer than your home and mine. 3) We bring wolves back. After all, they have a right to be here too. Of course, they will eat your dogs, cats, and the occassional child, not to mention ruin your nature walk. I am all for the environment. Im also an advocate for using cars less (I drive maybe 100 miles a month) but this is the circle of life. If you remove a predator, you have to replace it. And Guns are better than running through the woods with a bow and arrow (like the native americans did)

That's one sad sight.

I hope that is the one that ate my perennials. Serves you right, Bambi!!!

Spicoli- Ouch!

I'm still going to have to choose wolves. I think they can thin out some other less evolved species too which might help the planet in the long run.

If Mathilda is right, it is only within the Creationsim viewpoint, for I very much doubt that deer roamed the earth at the same time as dinosaurs, and I doubt even woolly mammoths.

Yet the only thing woolly here are Mathilda's rants. If anyone believes Mathilda to be a real person, well then, I've got a bank to sell you! It's a great investment, I swear!

What do I care what you think of my posts. I am here for one purpose only: to try and drum some sense into you everyday morons. At that I see I am failing. People are discussing zombies and wolves and making sex jokes. When are you all going to wake up and realize that there are more urgent things to do than type frivolously into the ether? Wake up. It's time to get serious.

see, case in point...

Three of them crossed in front of me on Pompton this afternoon. My heart sinks when I see them run from one developed area to another. Crossing major roadwaays, no less.

I like to be called a moron before someone tries to convince me to agree with their views.

Is it possible to package, dead deer on the side of the road with every protest to thinning the deer population by licensed hunters? I mean you can't have it both ways PETA people.....

Our children are watching and listening, folks..

Zombie Deer. The only logical sequel to Black Sheep.

dannyboo, I was going to give you grief about how only you would care about the sheep's ethnicity, but that movie looks too profound to kid about! I shall see it on opening weekend, if it happens to have an opening weekend. It looks like a work of absolute art.

How about a mobile Abattoir, call 1-800-xxxx when you spot a fresh roadkill deer. Butchered on the spot!

and you want government to handle universal health care, you can't even get county government to pick up a deer...lol

Heavens, earrs, NO ONE expects county government to take over healthcare. Sheesh.

You a fan of horror too appletony?

No, I am a fan of stupid/ridiculous movies. Splattering horror for the sake of it, not so much (Saw-type stuff, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc., not my thing -- Snakes on a Plane or the remake of The Fly or classic horror with a plot, like The Exorcist -- those I like).

That was the funniest goddam clip I've seen in ages. Thanks dannyboor. It's the best horror animal creation since Monty Python's killer rabbit.

By the way, the remake of The Fly with Jeff Goldblum is one of the best films ever made.

Ah Looney the point is that government at any level can't manage anything, and i agree.
