Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: An Objective Analysis

Posted by Sumiki , in Life, Rants, Not Essays!, Writing Dec 22 2012 · 189 views

(Disclaimer: This blog entry is facetious and in no way intended to be factual whatsoever.)

It's Christmastime once again, and with it come a wave of songs. This year, I took the time to consider the the implications of the lyrics of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

(I really do have too much time on my hands.)

Let's just start off with the first couple of lines, the introduction:

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall?
The most famous reindeer of all?

This bothers me. First off, there's the implication that I know those eight other reindeer. Heck, I can't remember their names, except that whenever I hear Blitzen's name I think of Wolf Blitzer's stubbly white beard.

Posted Image

This is, as one can imagine, an utterly horrifying thought - but hey, at least I can remember Blitzen's name.

But this also implies that the other eight are so famous that everyone has heard of them, when in reality, the only reindeer that anyone can name is Rudolph. And this intro is implying that we've never heard of him right before launching into a full-fledged biographical song.

Okay, minor gripe over. What I'm really concerned about is the reindeer culture, which isn't much of a culture at all. In fact, it seems to be run by bullies - very animalistic. We do know, from the context of the song, that there are more reindeer than just the nine we know of. At the very least, we can assume that there are backups in case something should befall one of the reindeer, rendering him unable to complete the annual journey. Maybe Blitzen got an ingrown hair one year and Santa wanted to take precautions.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

Reindeer seem to be mean. The song states that all of the reindeer - not just the immature, small ones (which we don't know for sure even exist at the North Pole), but all of them - made fun of Rudolph just because his nose glowed. Logic would dictate that this includes the eight main reindeer, and it seems more and more likely that the reindeer deserve their own places on the naughty list. Meanwhile, Santa's just sitting there watching the spectacle of a young reindeer with an unfortunately bright nose get picked on constantly for something he couldn't help.

Unless, of course, Rudolph just has very bad allergies all of the time.

We know from the song that Santa knew of Rudolph's nose and chose to do nothing about it ... until the night before Christmas:

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Hold on a second. There are a lot of implications in just one little stanza, so let's go through them. The first is the implication that there is fog everywhere, referring to the entire planet, an unprecedented weather phenomenon that no one has ever seen before, but nonetheless it wasn't going to stop the present delivery from happening.

We also now know that Santa lacks headlights on his sleigh. To make toys, Santa must not only employ a massive workforce but also use advanced technology in the present-making process. Since his elves must work year-round to make enough presents for everyone, they must work when there is no natural light outside. At the North Pole, the winter is by and large sunless. Continuing from this logic, Santa must have some sort of artificial light. If you fly around the earth at night and sneak into people's houses, it's kind of necessary to have a few flashlights. If he had magical night-vision, he wouldn't need Rudolph to light the way in the first place.

Any way you look at it, Rudolph should not have been an addition to the eight-reindeer team for the reasons provided in the song.

Here's the kicker: after it's over, the reindeer now like Rudolph:

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history!"

... and you're sure that they were shouting that with glee?

We now have the first indication that reindeer can talk. Reindeer intelligence is great enough to understand spoken words, as Rudolph understood Santa, but with this stanza we know that reindeer can talk. With speech comes advanced society. Second, telling someone that they're going down in history sounds like a one-liner a bad guy would say in a James Bond movie before they kill someone.

Posted Image

Thusly, I submit to you, the populace of BZPower, absolute incontrovertible proof that the implications contained within the song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, when paired with simple logic, provide evidence that reindeer are mean and Santa Claus is an imbecilic, lazy troll.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

Tuesday Tablescraps - 12/18/12 - Abstract Duckling

Posted by Sumiki , in Tuesday Tablescraps, MOCing Dec 18 2012 · 150 views

*insert screaming duckling fangirls here*

This is more of a legitimate tablescrap than many of the recent ones. I was deconstructing something yellow and put a bunch of leftover parts together. After a while I realized that it looked like an abstract duckling.

Tuesday Tablescraps - 12/11/12 - Fireplace

Posted by Sumiki , in MOCing, Tuesday Tablescraps Dec 11 2012 · 132 views

I reject your drama and substitute my tablescrap.

I wish I had more time for building this week, but I've been continuously busy for these past couple of weeks. Thankfully everything is all over now ... well, until the apocalypse. I still haven't ordered that underground bunker ...

I deconstructed a small building that I built when I was nine, and when I did, I found this little fireplace.

Also for some reason my camera hates me and timestamped the images.

Tuesday Tablescraps - 12/4/12 - Toaraga

Posted by Sumiki , in Tuesday Tablescraps, MOCing Dec 04 2012 · 219 views

December already? What happened to the rest of the year? ;_;

This was not intended to be a tribute to Toaraga, the former Global Moderator - is just sort of happened that way. I messed around with some parts, said "oh, that looks like a hunchback" and made a really big Turaga that I thought looked a bit like a Toa.

Iunno. It all made sense in my head.

Christmas creep (n): a phenomenon whereby retailers promote Christmas-themed items earlier and earlier in each consecutive year.

Thus I present to you the literal Christmas Creep, a festive mech. It creeps up on people, too.
