I performed a selection of the classic "I Hate Deer" thread today in my Performance of Literature class.
Needless to say, it killed. They particularly liked Namo and my characterization of him.

Posted: 12/4/07 at 3:13pmI think there are several here who would make sizable contributions to BC/EFA to see your characterization of Namo.

Posted: 12/4/07 at 3:16pmI'm still sad I missed that thread. Everyone keeps talking about it and I have no idea what it was all about.

So someone saved it, huh?
Any chance of getting a transcript?
I would love to turn it into a musical.

Have the two stars of the deer thread played a return engagement yet? I haven't seen them around.

"Performance of Literature? Next will be...what? Emily Dickinson?"
The class is split into three sections: poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. This was for my non-fiction performance.

And I have to thank you emcee, because your and DG's posts are what helped me give the piece more of an arc.
But I could only perform the first bit of it. I never even got to AngryDeer.

Namo,
Don't you think he's a little young to be asking if he's wearing a metal c*ck ring?

Posted: 12/4/07 at 5:13pm*sigh* Who would have ever known that such an insignificant little thread would turn into such a legend? Good times, good times.

I was thinking of using this video on a loop as the audience comes into the theatre...
OH, DEER.

Posted: 12/4/07 at 8:15pmHow dare that deer get in the way of the car like that? I bet he did it on purpose! And then he flew extra high and fast just for sympathy!

Posted: 12/4/07 at 10:14pmDon't worry, Deer. No animals were hurt during the making of that film. If you pause it you can see the harness and the wires.
