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.
My Uncle Cleophus would agree.
The bear isn’t mine, he’s been hanging around and making a nuisance of himself.
And the biggest item I have to get his attention with is a crowbar.
So stop feeding it.
Why else would it hang around? Unless you and the Missus look yummy...in which case you’ll need more than a crowbar!
We have drops for our cats and dog, but they’re pretty expensive for a non-resident cat, and you never know if he’ll be around in 30 days.
That’s just it, we aren’t feeding it.
But there is this nice cornfield right behind the barn.
Congratualtions!
You’re outnumbered!!
Howdy.
The Package Bunneh arrived while I was out this morning. The children were disappointed when I opened the box and there was no printer inside, although I don’t know why - we have two perfectly good printers!
Joann is going to stop by in a little while, and she will go Wooga wooga wooga or the Yankee equivalent. We’ll send you a receipt for the value, in case you get income that would otherwise be taxed.
Oh, and FReepmail me your “ground” address again - I keep forgetting to write it down - so I can send muffins. And whatever food it was you didn’t like.
Afternoon. I came home from my prayer group to find Frank sleeping in the high chair. Tom had the Andrew Wilkow radio show on.
Now they’re having lunch, and then I’ll try putting Frank in bed. I’ve already been to Walmart, so we don’t really have to go out this afternoon. We could do the thrift store tomorrow. (Or later today, if Frank’s nap is a failure.)
That reminds me of the Conservative Punk website; I wonder what happened to that.
Don’t look at me. I’m not hiding them from you...
Congrats on the new apprentice.
May she grow strong and one day strike me down and assume my position as Dark Lord *unsure pause* uh.. she will be vying for that position when it comes time, right?
For those interested...
It could be she may allow humanity to continue to exist out of nothing more than a desire to maintain a chew-toy supply.
Meowing?
Hmm, need to ponder that one some.
Awwwwwwww.
Vlad used to make a variety of feline communications, but that was when he was a little older.
You and Zon do good work! What a beauty!
Next time, you and Pete will even the odds.
