“Their “elk” are the same as our moose. Our “elk” are American Wapiti.”

- As a European, I’m not happy with this explanation.

Here in Europe elks/moose deliver cheese. In America this remains wishful thinking.

There’s pigmoose on the loose at chateaumeddybemps.com

My sister was going to post...but she had to go to the ER due to a bite...

Wow, cool picture! I’ve never eaten moose cheese before. I don’t think our resident moose, big ole Bertha, would let me milk her, but then again, I’ve never asked. LOL

Simply talking about the species.

Here in Europe elks/moose deliver cheese. In America this remains wishful thinking.

In other words, even the majestic wild beasts of Europe have become domesticated cattle? ;^)

Just jokin' WC. I know of some ranchers who domestically raise deer, elk, and bison.

"Weekend Edition Saturday, June 28, 2003 · It's moose milking season in Russia! Scott talks with Alexander Minaev, a moose researcher who enjoys the odd glass of moose juice."

We used to be able to get a drink called "Moosemilk" in the bars in Juneau. Bourbon and milk, a little pinch of sugar. Good for what ails ya...

My dogs would be going nuts long before I got to the door.

They have Lab hysterics when they see a squirrel or a possum.

After my then six-year-old daughter read Heidi, she begged for me to buy her some goat's milk so she could drink it out of a wooden bowl just like Heidi.

Believe it or not, they actually carry FRESH goat's milk in our local supermarket, not just the canned stuff (which is gross even if it's cow's milk.)

When she drank it, her face was a study!

American Elk AKA Wapiti

Moose AKA European Elk

“return to the cheese of the moose”

That is the exact title of a book that a demented professor forced upon us in a bizarre literature class.

(to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw")

"Oh, Schmendrick had a horse, and he thought it was a cow,
He went out to milk it but he didn't know how,
And the night was very dark and Schmendrick couldn't see. . . "

. . . and I think we'll just stop right there . . .

Speaking of moose...erm...elk...erm...large deer....

Dogs in Elk. An oldie but a goodie.

"They're cute, but I wouldn't want one in the back yard, Nothing gets the ol' heart a pumpin' in the morning quite like almost walking into a bull moose on your back deck. Trust me on this one."

Aaaaa-MEN!

How about one skating in your driveway in the dark? No more investigating strange sounds after dark, for me! I almost ran over that one!

This was my first winter in my little house, and my yard had moose in it all winter long. Now I know why they fenced in the rest of it...I did wind up with some nice pictures and a choice little pile of moose nuggets, though...

[LexBaird]

Not my first, nor last close encounter of a Moose kind. Once, while innertubing on the Henry Fork of the Snake river, near Yellowstone, I drifted under some high willows. I felt water drops on my head, and looked up to see the underside of a moose’s nose. I think I levitated to the other side of the river.

"Here in Europe elks/moose deliver cheese. In America this remains wishful thinking."

Here in America, Elks and Moose are fraternal organizations...

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL!

[AnAmericanMother]

Hmmm . . . the Nigerian scam in Mosley's clothing?

Wonder if they're any kin to you-know-who . . .

[LexBaird]

(to the tune of Sweet Bessie of Pike)

“Oh, moose, moose! I like a moose!
I’ve never had anything quite like a moose.
My life has been wicked, my morals are loose,
But ...”

... and I’ll stop there as well ...

[AnAmericanMother]

I laughed myself silly, and bookmarked dogsinelk.

First my dogs and then my husband came running to find out what was going on in here.

Now the dogs want their own elk.

“Here in America, Elks and Moose are fraternal organizations...”

How did that happen?

If this is true it would entirely confirm my notion of America as the ‘land where anything can happen’.

I went to the US once. Women were beatiful and in general people were very friendly.

But my next car will be a Volvo.
