Now for something totally different.

Drunken elk rescued from Swede's apple tree
Then I went over to take a look and spotted an elk stuck in an apple tree with only one leg left on the ground,” Johansson told The Local.

Drunken elk are common in Sweden during the autumn season when there are plenty of apples lying around on the ground and hanging from branches in Swedish gardens.

The Elk was heard repeatedly saying to it's rescuers "I love You Man!!"

The back story is the elk had all his money in Greek and Italian municiple bonds.  He got drunk enough to end it all,but he forgot his rope.
“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

I'm not a wildlife biologist but is that an elk? Looks like a couple moose I've seen or do my eyes deceive me?

Pecos, who can't imagine a drunken moose.

I believe the animal called a moose in North America is called an elk in Sweden. 

I wonder if hunting season coincides with fermented apple season.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"Hold my fermented apple, and watch this."...... ;D

The cultural difference in terminology is correct, what we call moose, they call elk....



Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Correct...it's spelled "alg" in Sweden and "elg" in Norway I think...

Scandinavian DNA runs in the family!
