Drunken Elk Hides Kids' Swing Set in a Tree
The Local ^

Posted on 09/25/2011 1:58:25 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.

This photo depicts the dream of the drunken elk. He only wanted to sit and swing and be mellow.

Here’s a scientific study of moosely alcoholism.

If I had a candidate, he would probably support Zot, too.

*singing, terribly*

“Rudolph the Zombie Reindeer, had a very nasty cold
And if you ever met him, you would even see his mold.
All of the other Reindeer, used to scream and run away.
They never let poor Rudolph, feast on any reindeer brains!
Then a zombie outbreak came, Rudolph ran amuk.
Rudolph with his eyes so dead, got them all and ate their heads..”

They’re doing it again, playing Christmas music LONG before Thansgiving.

"... watch small children and pawnable items ..."

Why do you list these as two separate things?

Don’t know the pawnability of demon spawn like myslf.
You’d have to find someone really gullible and have a no return policy in place.

It doesn't matter. They don't come when called...

There’s also the general inadvisability of using elk in any kind of quantum physics experiment as they easily get entangled.

My NRA wildlife calendar has a moose for October. Last month it was a caribou.

Morning. Took Shannon to the vet, which made her unhappy. I expect her to disappear for sleeps the rest of the day.

Next stop is Walmart: we’re out of everything.

Because pawn shops won't take children. Something about not wishing to have their shops demolished or some such thing.

Very few establishments will take children, which is quite unfair. There’s no reason Pat or James couldn’t perform useful labor for pay.
