Memo: Pre-Interview Guidelines
Per previous discussions, please adhere to the guidelines for the interview. To summarize the critical points:
- Mr. Rudolph will not entertain requests to light his nose during interviews – not even a little blink. Please do not ask.
- No mention may be made of Burl Ives, or his allegations of Beacon-Beak Enterprise’s alleged financial improprieties.
- Any questions regarding the stag film “Red-Light District of the North Pole” of 1976 will result in immediate termination of the interview and legal action to suppress.
- Discussions of the Island of Misfit Toys subdivision and time-share profits by the Scarlet Honker Limited Partnership are stictly forbidden.
- Any discussion of Mr. Rudolph’s possible use of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber will result in immediate cessation of the interview.
- Any discussion of the ongoing legal action regarding the author Suzanne Collins is forbidden. Mr. Rudolph and his legal advisors believe that “The Hunger Games” is clearly based on “The Reindeer Games” and as such is in clear violation of intellectual property laws.
- Any unauthorized use of the Flying-Red-Nose logo is strictly forbidden.
- Mr. Rudolph does not give autographs at any time. His hooves are not pen-friendly.
- Any reference to the pending class-action lawsuit against the “Yukon Cornelius Camp for Wayward Boys” is strictly forbidden.
- Mr. Rudolph denies any knowledge of Lindsay and Dina Lohan’s alleged Nordic tattoos.

I love this…I am going to attempt to wrap mine up…I got blindsided by a wave of grief (actually I knew I would get hit…I just couldn’t predict when) because I need a sense of completion.
You put a great spin on each of these…
Glad you liked them. I’m fairly sure if I didn’t have the peer pressure, I would have just bagged this after watching the news one time too many. Still, I’m glad it’s done.
Hahahahahahaha….I’m crying! I can totally envision this happening!
I’m glad to bring a smile to your morning, even if it took me till your evening to tell you so.
Two simple questions that I wish to ask during the interview. Please respond in a timely manner.
1. There is a rumor that Rudy is going solid-state with a new light-emitting-diode nose. A simple yes or no answer is expected. Don’t get presidential on me.
2. Has Bambi’s mother filed that paternity suit or has she been bought off? A simple shuffling of the hooves would suffice as an answer.
Thank in advance for your time, Babs Walter
Celebrities. Pffft.
This is a blast … I really enjoyed your posts!
Merry Christmas. 😀
Glad they tickled your fancy. Now that they’re done, I can start shopping for Christmas presents and take down the Thanksgiving decorations.
Bye bye to all the turkeys! Time for the elves and holly!
I don’t know about you, but I sort of feel like there’s a great big empty spot in my evenings now …. first NaNoWriMo ends and now BlogFestivus ends … [sigh]
Don’t sweat it. I’ll be posting some inane bit of whining anytime now.
I may do Christmas haiku. We’ll see. 😉
*snort* This was hilarious! Perhaps my favorite post in the series. Thanks so much for joining in with this writing challenge…same time, next year? 🙂
Sure! Sign me up! (You know the world is ending in a couple of days, right?)
Mr. Rudolph seems a bit hoity toity. Wonder what he demands to have available in his dressing room.
Damn primadonna.
Tell me about it!
My nose glows this time of year, and I don’t get a TV special (unless you count my episode of “Intervention” which I don’t even recall being on…)
Loved all your posts, they’ve been great, funny and well… brilliant. 🙂
Brilliant?!
Lemme get you out a fan club membership form, pronto. Umm, actually, you may need to start your own chapter. OK, yeah, I admit it, there aren’t any other chapters.
You said “brilliant” right?
Bless your heart sarahneeve – you made an old man smile.
Say it like it is, that’s my motto. 🙂
Aww shucks!
He’s certainly come a long way from the innocent little buck who shouted “She likes me” to the world. Sad, Very sad.
I thought that was Sally Field’s comment…maybe I’m confused.
Oh..lol..she said I’m cute! Got Rudolph and Sally Field confused. I imagine that happens all the time.
No no no, I was confused. Sally Field said “You like me! You really, really like me!” upon winning an Oscar. Although, it may not have had the second “really” in it, and it might have been an Emmy….or maybe it was Sally Kellerman getting a Golden Globe.
They all get like that when they get their own TV specials!
I blame the hyperbaric oxygen. That stuff goes to your head, man!
A perfect ending! And with all the trouble Rudolph has gotten into, I think he needs to hire new handlers.
It’s as if that red nose is a beacon for trouble.
