Rebellious Reindeer (Page 20)

shame you got killed and mounted noz!

I call BS on the fake santa. Reindeer, you can stop obeying the traitor in your ranks!

What gave it away?

No mustache on the beard.

Yay Amy has an avatar!!! thats so cool

Oh!  You're so funny!!!!!  The reindeer are only able to perform Santa's work if the Elves do their job!  Us Elves are going on strike and heading to the pool!!!!!

Id watch your back if I were you Noz....

Actually, I encouraged your team to turn against you in nonviolent protest. Now you just twitch your tail and run along, since you may as well give up on the swimming

I know what I'm having for DINNER!!

givemashot - 2007-12-16 5:47 PM It seems that they are all afraid of something. Hmmm. Could it be that we will kick their azz in the pool?

ever since I left that little present for them............................

did I show you guys that?

Hey everyone!

Had a good day in the pool today!  After 40min of awesome instruction by dear Captain Beth I got another 40 in practicing!  Woohoo!  Getting close to half way done - 230 out of 540 minutes done!

Let's show 'em what the reindeer are made of!  (As if they don't know - hence the fear!) 

 Renee 

Way to get the swim in Renee!  And Beth's just a little darling, isn't she?

Go Reindeer!

awwwww Sal!  a little darling?  you're making me blush

It was a lot of fun to meet Renee and I have to say WOW, she put in another 40 min after I left

WTG!

Swam 58 minutes today

Less drilling more swimming and man I was breathing heavily and wondering what the heck is wrong with me? I don't think I can finish this workout as laid out by my coach. Pacing it is all about and I have only been drilling and not swimming since early October...so much to remember. I needed to slow down, and by forcing myself to do it I worked it out. I really wanted to stop mid-way through my workout as I was annoyed & frustrated. Doing 100's and 200's shouldn't be that hard.

My focus today was turning my head less to breath and keeping one google eye still in the water..felt weird as I'd look out the one eye under water but I got the hang of it more. 

Why is swimming so hard?

Oh yes!  Stars are good

hmmmmm, I need to go check that one out - sounds like Noz has been a busy reindeer

BunnyB - 2007-12-18 1:31 AM Hey fellow Reindeer! Sorry for being MIA the past couple of weeks. I've been putting in 60+ hour work weeks which left little time for anything other than sleep since I commute 32 miles each way, too. Thankfully, things have returned to normal for me this week so I should be back around and posting again. I've really missed all of my BT buds!

Melissa, I hear ya on the long workweek...leaving for Albuquerque this morning...wasn't in the original plans for December, but at least I'll be back before Christmas...

I've got a long commute too (30 miles), but at least it's Minneapolis...it takes me 40 min to get to work if I leave early in the morning and almost an hour and 15 minutes on the commute home if the traffic is bad.  I would imagine the traffic in southern Cal is much worse.

Good luck this week...I miss BT as well...I'm about a week behind in inspires...

and all because santa went crazy...

Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped

Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain

Hi there

Here's the rule

4. Individuals who achieve more than their committed goal will not have these additional swims counted in the first 3 weeks of the challenge (so increase your goal!!!)
EXCEPTION: In the final week of the challenge team members may exceed 100% (up to 120% max,) and use their additional data to assist team members who are struggling to reach their goal 

I went back to the rules to refresh my memory - it doesn't look like there's a penalty, just that the extra swimming may not count for the challenge - worst case, you can just adjust your goal a bit

I'll clarify with Cat or Donto to be sure, but I say go for it
