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.
Ya gotta watch that!

Oh, yes there is: Obama.
Not that that's a good reason, but it's turned out plenty potent enough for me. I managed to hang on in Silicon Valley right through the depths of the dot com bust, and then through the bleak months of the recovery that wasn't, but Obamanomics finally got me.
As of Monday — for the first time in over seventeen years — I'm unemployed.
BUT...I'm bulletproof today, because Ashira Rose was born last night! Woo-Hoo! Piccies when I get 'em off the cameramabob.
Congratulations, and good luck with the unemployment. When DP was unemployed earlier this year, he played the guitar five hours a day, oh joy. (Hopefully you will not do that to a mother with a new baby ...)
One of my friends here had a baby yesterday, too. It was the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, so make sure you get young Ashira some pets!
I see the crop from the Cat Tree is booming.
Do you think they’re ready for harvest? We want them in optimal condition.
They look ready.
But that’s such an iffy thing to judge when you’re deaing with Cat Trees.
Better than my pink flamingo lava lamp......
Any particular captions you’d like for those on Icanhazcheeseburger?
No, I’m sure you’ll think of something more original than I would. The brown one is Jake (with his catnip mouse) and the calico is Shannon.
LOL!
Hahaha! a lava cat lamp, funny this morning!!! Howdy
Afternoon! Who needs tv when you can watch catz? Mine are enjoying a sunny day on the windowsills.
;)
The package bunneh will be leaving tomorrow...:o]
Congratulations!!!!! Please give our love to your beautiful wife and to the rest of the clan.
God’s hope shines in the eyes of a newborn child.
We shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. He promised.
