LiLV Contest: Name Our Deer
UPDATE: A Name Has Been Selected: During Episode 76, we scientifically-selected the name of our most glorious deer. The winner: Vincent B. Venison (Vinnie to his friends). Congrats to Mark G. from Georgia! Honorable mention goes to Edgar Herbert Von Whitney III (well done, Steve). Mark, you’re prize awaits (I’d recommend #3.)
As was mentioned during the beginning of Episode 74 [CityCenter: ARIA Hotel and Casino and Crystals], one of the greatest Christmas gifts ever bestowed on me is the deer you see pictured to the right.
The problem? He has no name.
I think we’d all agree that if he’s to suffer the challenges associated with looking regal above the Whitney Villa entryway pictured, we should at least provide him with a name.
That’s where you come in.
In the comments below, give us your best suggestion for a name. Funny, regal, thought-provoking. . .all are exactly what we’re looking for.
The winner may select any of the following as a token of our undying gratitude:
- A round of drinks on Scott
- A free copy of ChristmAcoustic, ChristmAcoustic II, or Guitjazzathon
- My unending love and support
- Two rounds of drinks on Scott and Deer
- The secret to some fun little magic trick
Thanks in advance for playing along. The winner’s suggestion will be placed on a fancy name plate just below his, er, head. Let the creativity begin!

I’m still not exactly sure why you have a deer head but I think you should call it Gus or Guster.

Mayla: Not exactly sure?!? Why, every good “villa” has a deer head. And a bar. And a fun couple of hosts. Everybody knows that. Common knowledge.
January 11th, 2010 1:56 pm
I vote for Vincent B. Venison.
Note: Vinnie should be used only by close family and deer friends.

Bucky, because he’s a buck and because I’m a Buckeye from Ohio.

Tell the truth Scott - that deer head (Vincent) is all that was left after Melissa Andretti ran over it. We promise we won’t tell her you told us. Your secret is safe. Everybody knows she does not visit this site.

Damn, Mark. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to keep things quiet around here.
A little shhhhhhhh, please!

Sam = Scott and Melissa
Rein = okay so it’s not a reindeer, but you did get him for Christmas
Chris = again, working that Christmas angle.

Great stuff, everybody! Keep ‘em coming!
January 13th, 2010 2:54 pm
I put my deer name on the wrong episode…
He should be named: Michael Stephen Nick Whitney
January 13th, 2010 2:55 pm
Thanks, Darcy! Now *what* movie did that name come from?!?
January 13th, 2010 4:12 pm
Scott - come on! The Deer Hunter of course! Robert DeNiro as Michael…Chritopher Walken as Nick…it’s a classic!
January 13th, 2010 4:15 pm
Whew, I never would have guessed Deer Hunter. I didn’t know any of their names!
January 14th, 2010 1:57 pm
A Deer for Christmas? What about Rudolph or Blitzen?
That sounds like a winner to me
January 14th, 2010 1:59 pm
Sarah says “What about Lochaber?” which is almost as good an answer as mine…..
January 14th, 2010 2:09 pm
“Lochaber”? Isn’t that where we usually hang out, at the Lochaber?
January 16th, 2010 11:02 am
How about … “Buck R. Stuffed” ?
Shameless plug time - please check out what my school kids (I teach TV Production) did at http://www.schooltube.com/video/14920/MHSS-Star-Trek - we’ve got a friendly rivalry going on with our sister school across town and wee’re trying to accumulate more “hits” then them!
