Just in case the server gets Farked:

LOGAN TOWNSHIP, BLAIR COUNTY --- A freak accident with a deer in Blair County sends one man to the hospital.

A Logan Township man was just taking a walk by his house. Before he knew it, a deer came flying through the air and knocked him to the ground.

This weird chain of events happened just before 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning. A man was driving his truck along
Grandview Road in Logan Township.

That's when the deer jumped out of nowhere. The driver slammed on his brakes, but he couldn't stop in time.

He hit the deer, and the impact sent the animal flying across the street. While this was happening, Donald Hippo, 66, was walking along the side of the road.

When the deer was airborne, it flew into Hippo. Logan Township Police said it knocked his feet right out from under him. Hippo landed on his back and got a big cut in his head.

Police said Hippo doesn't have any serious injuries. He was getting treated for the cut at Altoona Regional Medical Center.

The truck driver was not hurt, but the deer didn't make it. Hippo just retired from the Logan Township Highway Department. He was less than 100 yards away from his house when the deer hit him.

Police said Hippo is doing fine, and he was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Win, subby.

What song is this supposed to be? The only thing I could think of was "This old man."

Props to the driver for throwing a buck at the old man.

How about if I just launch a deer in your general direction?

I wonder what the guy who got hit by the airborne deer's initial thought was. *deer have learned to fly and are out to get me*. What a freak occurrence .

I thought the six / ten split was hard to do??

Hippo hospitalized by flying deer?

vs.


At this, I LOL'd a little.

CasperImproved: I thought the six / ten split was hard to do??

Ha!, I enjoy the imagery of a dead deer flying down the lane to clear up that nasty spare. On 2nd thought, it would delay the bowling game as the racking machine struggles with organs amidst the pins.

I suppose an elk/deer/ungulate trifecta is in play, amirite?

Je5tEr: Hippo hospitalized by flying deer?

Came here to say this. You beat me to it.


/got nothin' else

It's raining deer! Hallelujah, it's raining deer!

/obligatory
//two extra slashies
///three even, exit.. stage right

At first I was sad because I couldn't figure out the tune.

Then I found out what the tune was, and it made me happy that I couldn't figure it out on my own.

Yay for subby! Good job.

If the truck driver was named Birdy Twoewes, we've got the makings of another song!

Great work Subby !

You have to know eggnog was involved.

I feel your pain. I actually owned that CD once. Got it as a Christmas gift along with my first CD player many a year ago. Even at age 8, I listened to it once, knew it was garbage, and hardly ever touched it again.

/It still hurts sometimes...

Oh deer.

As I read that article "yackety sax" began to play in my head and I could just picture Benny Hill wide eyed as the deer slammed into him.



/old lady wants to know why I'm sitting here giggling, how do I explain this without sounding retarded.

subby will be getting my bill for brain-song removal therapy.

Well has she ever watched Benny Hill? The scantily clad maidens and buffoonery can't be described, they have to be seen.

Was the deer wearing boots?

Got nothing.

Wrong_Intentions

Very nice.

My first thought after reading the article was this may be the first time that a deer took out a hippo.

There is a serious lapse of general awareness of one's environment in the US today. Not to be dick, but pay attention old man.

Just this week, while exiting Target, I had to veer quickly from the eye of an autodoor (swing type - not slider type) to keep it from hitting a curiuos toddler. Noticing there was a customer behind me, I yelled, "Watch out!" This woman kept advancing, knocking the 2 year old over and pushing him the radius the door.
/The woman was not apologetic.

*sigh* God help me...

Three cheers for Subby

The deer had been watching Ron White recently and said "if you kill me, I will kill you back".

*sniff*

That was beeu-tee-ful.

I'd like to know where this deer landed...if it ever did.

Exact same thing happened to me. Driving down a country road at dusk, deer jumps onto the road right in front of me, I hit the deer, which bounces off my bumper and into a woman walking by the side of the road.
Fortunately, she wasn't hurt, although my car needed body work. And the deer was dead.
Sounds funny, but the two humans involved were not at all amused at the time, and the deer wasn't talking.
