Top Cutlines — 10/18/05

This one was too good to pass up. So, I moved it from Quick Fix 6 to become Photo of the Day. Here, Pennsylvania officers drag a tranquilized deer from a Weis supermarket in Reading, Pa., Monday. The 130-pound deer crashed through the front window of the store and ran amok for more than an hour before it was tranquilized by state game officials and removed. No one was hurt. You write the cutline.

Top Cutlines:

1. Rudolf arrested for shop lifting. He had been down on his luck since school's ban Christmas as an holiday -- Cis.

2. Dale the deer did not realize the immensity of his problem until he woke up twenty miles away and realized this was the fourth time this month he had been tranquilized -- whatever. And: Bambi had been just minding his own business in the store, checking out a Playdeer magazine, eyeballing some Lawrence Elk cd's, then he saw the venison slim jims -- Bob.

3. I think the deer was just hoping to make a quick buck on the Powerball drawing -- Jane Q. Citizen. And: "Bad Deer, Bad Deer, whatcha gunna do when they come for you!" -- Bre.

HM: Everyone else. Terrific cutlines.
