I am currently studying the language of Evenki...which will be very useful if I ever go to Siberia! We have to do a presentation in two weeks time on this randopm language which I know nothing about apart from that it has millions of words for reindeer! There are 34 different words for different kinds of reindeer, and then loads more for other reindeer-related things! These are a few of my favourites!
reindeer harnessed on the left-hand side of a sledge-team = kostur
reindeer which became wild = gelu:n
castrated reindeer = aktaki
not completely castrated reindeer = nara
reindeer which cannot be trained = mullikan
They're so random!

So what would a hard to train reindeer ( probably because he'd been half-castrated) on the left hand side of the reindeer team be? !! I guess you have to have something to do when it's dark for 22hrs a day! Anyonone for a game of Evenki Scrabble?! Maybe this is the game to finally take revenge on Matt for all those Animal Game humiliations! :)

you smell of reindeer
You are a reindeer :P
i'll just add that last comment to my ever growing list of unoriginal, unimaginative comebacks that you use every day...
how SAD...
I know you are
Why would you half castrate a reindeer, or any animal for that matter? That doesn't achieve anything, that's just plain mutilation...
