You showed it to your kids?  I really didn't think it necessary to specify 
that caveat.

Now they'll be scarred for life.

Wasn't meant to be taken seriously but some people don't like
anthropomorphic animal pictures and some people just don't like pictures
of cats.  As someone who quite likes cats, I have to say it looks
slightly irritated (in an unanthropomorphic way...) and some people
might dislike that.  Enough?  8-)

all sounds very Darwinian. If another courier turns up with bigger
antlers do they all start following him? Do you feel an urge to lower
your head, and charge?

Yeah it looks as dizzy as it skates! Didn't look nearly as fast as it was
though- and coming round that last or second last turn and seeing that
renegade car parked round the pillar was VERY harrowing, especially when a
fall would more than likely have taken out my camera, which was padded with
not much more than a sweater in my backpack.. The clip was filmed by a mate
skating behind, with a Canon ixus v400, pretty nifty thing, films up to 3
minute mini movies.. We were comparing available P&Ss and unfortunately the
Optio S4 just does 60sec clips.. oh well..

Sadly, Ryan - uh, I mean Blitzen,

Neither link works for me.

Wind resistance?  You bet.  Pedalling hard into the wind, I can feel the 
helmet being pushed back on my head.

I burn a bit more energy, but one must do what one must do, eh?  Gotta get 
into the Christmas Spirit.

I get lots of weird looks and big smiles from pedestrians.  And lots of 
comments in elevators.  Plus, the receptionists love it (that's mostly why I 
do it ).  It's really hard to be in a bad mood wearing them...

BTW, finished my Christmas shopping today (other than a few stocking 
stuffers that I might come across).  Hooray for me.  And it isn't even the 
last minute yet!

cheers,
frank - sorry, Dasher

Hey Dasher,
From one reindeer

to another,
I was wondering if your antlers have a noticeable amount of wind resistance
at high speed. I'm thinking of sending mine in for a CLA sometime.
 Wind-resistance at high speed :-(

one
thing having to keep adjusting antlers, but try skating with the camera
strapped to one hand on gravelly road!)
