Caroline, you obviously have never been hunting or haven’t spent much time in the country. That is most certainly not an elk and looks to be a white-tailed deer.

I once hit a turkey dead-center of the front bumper as I was going 75 on my local freeway. Rainy night, no warning.

This should be #COTD, just so anyone who failed to read the comments section gets the mental picture of you ripping a seagull in half.

Stephen. Nasty, messy Stephen.

I feel like I would put it younger! Like early highschool when you’re in awe of how much fun it seems like they’re having and how “free” they are. Once you're actually their age-you're embarrassed for them?

Just posted the same thing. Classic. These kids don't know reality.

That is most definitely NOT an elk. Elk are a lot bigger and have faces more akin to a moose. Depending on how fast you’re going, a deer can do damage like that no problem.

Nope it’s definitely a deer. Looks like a white tailed deer but I can’t quite tell from the picture. It’s sooooo not an elk. There would be much less left of the car if it’d been an elk and the head/rack would not fit so nicely in a car. An Elk’s head+rack will take up the entire back, side to side and most of the…

JFC.

THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. On my way to a blind date. Except the bird got caught in my windshield, I had to pull over because the whole entire windshield was cracked and I couldn’t see out of it (plus the seagull was SCREAMING). I tried to pull it out with my hands and tore its body in half, there was blood…

Agreed, some of the best thank you notes I’ve received have been from my cousins with attached photos of their kids having a BLAST with the stuff I got them and a note along the lines of “he loves xyz so much he’s been playing with it non stop!” They’re at an age where they can’t write yet (5 months, 2 and 3), but…

It’s not a dumb tip to me. I find that when I write a thank you note, it gives me time to really think about what I appreciate about the present I was given and to reflect on what that person means to me. When I receive a thank you note, I am touched that someone appreciated my gesture enough to take the time to tell…

It’s a small tip. Feel free to not use it. Happy holidays!

Yes it’s true. In places like India, Mexico, China, Nigeria, elsewhere, writing a thankyou note can be seen as political maneuvering, and therefore punishable by imprisonment, death, or a used iPhone.

Only white people write thank-you notes?

Hi, I’m a brown dude from India.

But remember, despite the fact they can be driven into a rapey, violent rage by a smile, direct eye contact, or a flash of female wrist or ankle, men are still the wisest, most capable, and most well-suited for leadership than women are.

I wonder if the course should be extended to women and men? Cos internalized misogyny is a thing that affects everyone, not just men...

To me, the last paragraph exemplifies why this is a good idea. It seems like they’re going out of their way to avoid saying “your immigrant ways are wrong” and instead are saying “there are the rules here. even if these rules don’t apply where you are from, they apply in Norway.”

“Men have weaknesses and when they see someone smiling it is difficult to control,”
