An elk drunk from eating fermented apples in southern Sweden ended its binge by making off with a family's swing set and hiding it in the woods. Hunter in hand-to-hoof battle with angry elk (12 Sep 11) Drunken elk rescued from Swede's apple tree (7 Sep 11) 'Leffe the moose man' promises elk intimacy (6 Sep 11) A homeowner from Storebro in northern Kalmar County arrived home on Wednesday night to find his garden littered with bits of apple and other signs that an elk had been partying in his back yard, the local Östran and Barometern newspapers reported.
The concerned homeowner also discovered that the children's swing set which normally sat in the yard was missing.
The man immediately called police, who contacted a local hunter to track down the inebriated elk who was thought to possibly be injured.
Drunken elk are common in Sweden during the autumn season when fermenting apples are plentiful, both on the ground and hanging from the branches of trees which many Swedes have in their yards.
While police and the hunter failed to meet up with the prank-playing elk, they did eventually find the family's swing set, propped up in a tree deep in the woods about 500 metres from their home.
We’re supposed to have some elk in the national park here in North Carolina, but they’re not going to wander through my yard trampling the pepper plants and swiping the swings.

Hi LOM!
Your collection is as eclectic as mine, but classier.
Depression is hard to beat. I know. Stick with these crazy undeaders when life gets to you. Actually, I should take my own advice, and come here more often when I feel down. :-)
Happy for your youngest!

And let us not even discuss Ash Wednesdays.
Ash Thursdays usually involve unattended pizza as we rush out to Cub Scouts.
It’s the back staircase of the Bellamy Mansion, five stories from top floor to sub-basement.
I can’t wait to hear about Ash Fridays!
I’ll try to remember to give a full report. We have a very busy schedule Friday.
