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.
Cute, isn’t it? But can you imagine that fur all over your house?
I had to be up early to take Tom to church: Boy Scouts leaving for camp. It’s pouring rain, but supposed to stop later.
Oh, glarb, someone’s just turned the radio on. It’s 7:30 a.m., people!

Oh yeah ? Well it is 4:30AM here in Arizona, and the weather
is perfect!.....neener..neener..neener ! : )
39 here, rain is letting up.
Anoreth put the “Washington Post March” on to wake Bill up. It got Ash all excited and made the catz go under the bed. Fortunately, Frank was already awake, or I’d have been smashing electronics with a rolling pin.
You should go back to sleep.
” If you check my recent posting history, you would see that my FReeping is restricted to early AM, or late at night. I started a new business and I am working 12-14 hours a day to get it off zee ground : )
A walker is a little cumbersome when I’m lying down, which is when most of the vertigo takes place. Learning what triggers it when I am upright is taking a while.
Mostly, when I walk, I stagger into things or people. A walker would make that much worse. But thanks for the suggestion! *HUG*
Thanks, Cy!
Hiya, Hottie!
Oh, I see.
I have to go to Walmart again.
Maybe we should send over a spiderbot. They're inherently stable, and you shouldn't have any problems with obstacles or pedestrians.
I’d like a spiderbot to take Ash for walks, please.
Kewl! I’ll be the only kid on the block to have one!! WOO-HOO!
Now THAT’S a thing to visualize...a spiderbot walking a greyhound...hmmm...Darks?
Howdy
Hello! How are you today?
Hello, hanging in there! You?
I’m doing OK for now. Are you cold?
No not really. It is only 34f today. It gets really cold during the first of the year. Below 20 nights. As long as I am inside. I wrap up good when I walk.
As long as I am inside it is warm. (finished the sentence)
LOL!
I do that, too!
We’re supposed to get up to 80 today. yummy!
We will get traces of snow. Have a safe day!
