Non-football related stuff that really makes your day

From what I can see, looks like a 10 pointer.

That's what I would say

[DanO]

Depends on how you judge the small "point". I'm not sure it qualifies.

[LionsFanInJapan]

I guess that'd make it a nine.

A point must be at least 1 inch long to be officially counted, and it must be "normal".

Incorrect, Dean. 17 is the inside dimension in inches from one side of the antlers to the other. !$) is a points score for the rack which takes into consideration number of points, thickness lendth. length of the main beam, spread, etc.

"Ok, just out of curiosity you guys would say that is a ___ point buck?"
---------------------Nine.

Thanks for the info DanO.

I don't know either but if it were my deer, it would be a 10 pointer.

Screw that.

Upon further review. there is no question that the antler has come to a point, therefore, it must be a point. ;-)

[LionsFanInJapan]

Haha, It's a 4x5 or a 5x5, although I'd argue the former...point taken.

I guess it only matters if you are making a pot of this

[Malto Marko]

MMMMMMMMMM.

Venison head soup!

Here's something that makes my day. Both daughters are going to the 2012 Oirechtas. That is the midwest regionals for Irish dancing. For my older daughter she can qualify for Nationals and Worlds. They are both at an age where you need to be invited at your teacher's discretion. Our school is very strict in who they send, hence my older daughter has been working for this for 4 years. Next year she gets to qualify. Its a big deal because Worlds are in Boston so everyone will be on their A game.

My younger daughter is 6 years old and this is quite an accomplishment for someone her age. She has the potential to do big things.

We've been waiting on pins and needles for a month now and finally got the email today. Now its a two month stretch of hard work for them. Now we have to get new dresses which is a small fortune.

Congrats to you and the girls, Loops.

[LionsFanInJapan]

That's great, FL! Also glad to hear your daughter is fully recovered from the incident earlier in the year with the whole Disney trip.

Awesome Loops!!! You have to be so proud of them.
