At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Yukon was only saving grace to the movie for me even when I was a kid. The only one I liked less was the "clay-mation" "Little Drummer Boy".

When I was stationed in Alaska, they issued these arctic canteens, even had one cut in half to show the insulation. Went out in the woods in relatively mild weather and a friend woke up with his frozen, seems they weren't any better than the regular issue plastic ones.

A lot of years ago I shot a really big buck. I was hunting alone until the other guys got there so I hung the Deer in one piece. It froze in a position like it was in full jump. At the end of the trip, we put the Deer on top of my Chevy Blazer and headed for home. One of the guys took a bright red spray paint can and did the nose on that Deer. When we got to his place he told his wife and kids we had shot Rudolf! His kids started to cry and his wife did not speak to him for days.

Missed it too.

That canteen is full of high-proof snake bite medicine/antiseptic/fire starting liquid which doesn't freeze easily, just sayin'.

But tin doesn’t rust. He should have been the sheet steel man.

Bret only cares about the tin man because he has a roof to fix.

My wife likes to watch Antiques Road Show, so supper usually coincides with that program when it's on.

Last episode, Monday, I think, they had the original Santa and Rudolph puppets used in the filming, which a fella had brought in years ago. They ended up keeping track of them, and are now in a puppet museum in Alabama or Georgia(?) and supposedly worth one million dollars. They were restored somewhere along the line, but each time they changed hands they sold for bigger and bigger money, until the last buyer donated them to the museum.

The rationale behind the crazy "value" was that people like to buy back their history - their childhood, and the generation(s) who have watched the old Rankin Bass animation specials seems very fond of their memories.

Santa was missing half his mustache and Rudolph's nose wasn't so bright, but they have since been tuned up to look like new.

Yep, Yukon Cornelius was my favorite, Corcorans and all. The Bumble was second on my list. Funny how back then the underlying "tolerance and inclusion" message included a character like Yukon too. There are a lot of people ("old people" especially) who are not tolerated and are excluded in today's version of "tolerance and inclusion."

That Rankin and Bass Rudolph is classic. Not gonna post it here, but someone dubbed R. Lee Ermey's Full Metal Jacket speaking parts over the part where the chief elf is giving Herbie grief about not liking to make toys and it is just hysterically funny. Look around for it on youtube, I think it was called "Full Metal Christmas".
