because I've always wanted a disembodied deer head springing forth from MY wall.

I, however, would LOVE a disembodied cheerleader, llama mascot, and cow mascot head to spring forth from my sims' wall.

I think TJ has a mounted cow mascot head which makes other cow mascots run off the lot in terror. Don't think he's made mounted heads of the other two annoying NPCs though.

Actually windkeeper made it (mesh and texture), but TJ was the one who hacked it and added the options.  I use it in all dorms.

I could see this for bars and sims' homes. Trophies such as these exist IRL, but I don't remember if or where I have seen them. However, the wooden plaque base is missing. That aside, I don't see what this has to do with Christmas, apart from the fact the set is shown with stuff from Holiday Crap. I must say that desk made me tip my head sideways and frown, though. I must investigate.

True, deer head trophies exist, but usually they're mounted on something.  It's quite odd to see nothing but the head.  I mean, how's it hanging on the wall?

I think you guys are missing the more horrifying part of that object...

A REINDEER HEAD mounted specifically as part of a Christmas set!?

;_; Rudolph! *weeps*

Are you sure it's a reindeer? The antlers look more like a stag's... And yes, it definitively lacks a trophy plate - perhaps, it's doweled to the wall.

I love to see people react that way to reindeer.
In this part of the world reindeer are mostly domesticated and used as food.  A few years ago my parents served Reindeer roast on Christmas Eve.  I had great fun shockiing Americans about that.

[simsfreq]

Isn't reindeer meat really tough? I read that somewhere, but I've never eaten it as we don't get it in Britain.

Re: the floating head, minus a plaque it reminds me of the moose-head from sims 1. I made my sims form an entire religion around it. It used to droop its antlers and make a really creepy noise if the overall mood of the family was too low!

We had reindeer pizza at this little pizza place with sawdust strewn floors a while back.. Not bad. Not great.. but not bad. I imagine it'd taste better as a roast, though. This was reindeer sausage and I think the pizza was overcooked.

[sloppyhousewife]

I could imagine that reindeer tastes very similar to game?

I have a desk like that. Not with such bad shadows, but same shape and everything.

It hasn't - the creator states explicitly that all holiday decoration is EAxis stuff. Without it, it's just a bedroom. No valid entry, imho.

It tastes like venison.  It's not particularily tough, but it does have that wild game taste that people raised on beef can find a bit unusual.

As for whether the head mounted in the picture is a deer or a raindeer, I'd say the fur looks like reindeer, but the shape of the head and the antlers look like a deer.  And since reindeer run in massive herds of hundreds of animals, killing one isn't exactly a feat worthy of a trophy.
As an aditional bit of reindeer trivia (since I'm apparently our resident expert): Both male and female reindeer have antlers.

Reindeer are tasty.

[FireFlyNine]

Reindeer are tasty.

Especialy when you hunt them down and kill them with your bare hands right?

Precisely. And thanks, Housewife! XD It's no match for yours.

Do they taste best fresh and raw?

[Nepheris]

Mmm, venison.

It doens't look very *mounted* to me though, rather like one crashed into the wall and poked its head through.

Speaking of real decoration travesties...  I managed to procure this gem on January sale a few years ago:

The bath-tub is made of plastic, and the figures and bath foam is made of really soft rubber (of the typical variety banned in children's toys). When you turn it on, the couple rocks back and forth, and slightly up and down, while playing "Santa Clause is coming to Town" really loudly, scattered with the occasional "Ho ho ho!".
Because the rubber is really soft, they wobble disturbingly.

I just went over to my ex and badgered him until he handed over my Christmas decorations, so here's a follow up:

ROTFL!
Heck, there's a similar one.

ETA: Hmm. There are no judges yet. I haven't entered any crap...

[Ellatrue]

PAIN!

* Ellatrue weeps.

[FireFlyNine]

Sooooo . . . no judging this month?
