I saw a terrifying plush reindeer doll in Sainsbury’s last night. It was shaped like a egg. Why was it shaped like a egg? I do not know why it was shaped like a egg.

Here’s a page from the Sainsbury’s website that shows all their Christmassy characters in ‘print out and colour in’ form, including my friend, Eggdeer. They managed to get the Eskimo and the polar bear pretty normal, and although Father Christmas is slightly egg shaped too, at least he’s recognisable as Father Christmas. But the egg-shaped reindeer is just weirding me out big time.

  1. I was standing in line for the checkout at one large department store the other day (’tis the season, ho ho), and the father-and-kid behind me were having a discussion about the fluffy stuffed animal that they were going to buy.
    For your information, the animal in question was white with black spots and sported a tail.
    The boy thought it was a dog.
    The father thought it was a cow.
    I thought it was neither.
    The cashier didn’t know and couldn’t care less.
    I wonder how children cope these days. In my days you could recognise a stuffed cow when you saw one …

  2. And eggs are scary because………..?!?!

  3. Eggs are not scary. Egg-shaped animals are scary.
