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.
You are allowed to stay in bed with no electric guitar background noise, and a cat who is holding still instead of walking all over you!
Will be praying about your digital extremities ... no wait, I mean the job!
Awwww...
Want me to come and make some chocolate cookies and some cocoa laced with rum?
Rest and rest. Curl up with a good book and a warm cat.
George is allowed in my lap as long as he is very quiet. Scooter has been deemed way too heavy. And now I have to get off the computer and take another nap.
Gee, I don't think the stop watch is really necessary!
Howdy.
Good morning. 55, cloudy, north wind. It’s supposed to be in the mid-30s and very windy by tonight. Some Scout camps are on hold until they find out how bad it will be.
Is the cat’s name pumpkin?
I’m still on leave for having a limb removed (well, they did put it back). Right you are: I would not recommend it.
The site didn’t say. I’d hesitate to call it Pumpkin!
Naps are very good to have and do. I like them!
Sleep well.
*hug*
Yes, people are nice to you for a bit. Baskets of goodies, flowers, lot of naps, but I would rather be able to move without saying, “Ow!”
I don’t want to ever experience another concussion as long as I live. Moving in any way, shape or form was an exercise in bodily control, which I consistently lost. So to speak.
I feel bad for anyone who has had surgery, because I know exactly what it means to say, “OW!”
I just saw this! Ssooooooo funny! :0-D
Haven’t heard anything in over a year.
I wouldn’t wish a concussion on my worst enemy. Bless you, Face!
What year would you like it to be?
I enjoyed 1978.
I’m glad you are getting care Sis.
Have you thought about getting a walker?
I have crutches, canes, quad-canes, and walkers around here enough to equip a spiderbot for a visit to the disability office.
We have them, but we are not presently using them.
On the other hand, we haven't gotten rid of them, either. You never know, you know?
I know.....ya know ?
lololol!!
