The Moose Myth

**sheepdog** · 03-01-2008, 13:57

It's time for it to end, and it ends here on the WB. I've let it go, but it has to stop now. I see todays post of someone trying to see a moose.
There is no such thing as a moose. Look at a picture of one, can such a silly creature really exhist? No I say! It is nothing but a cruel joke on newbee woodsman. The same as the jack-a-lope. The snipe hunt ends now. Lets unite and stop the scam. If Jan Liteshoe didn't see one on the long trail how real can they be?
Unite now and stop the madness.

We know them as "Swamp Donkeys" in these parts

[One of many "swamp donkeys" you'll see in your travels in N. Franklin Cty]

**dessertrat** · 03-01-2008, 14:02

Snipes do exist!

**sheepdog** · 03-01-2008, 14:11

Here is a picture of a jack-a-lope also. See how many of you are fooled by pictures. Unite WBers!! Stop the myth.

Bryson describes a moose as "a cow drawn by a three-year old." Improbably stupid, and stupid-looking. "Without a doubt, the moose is the most improbable, endearingly hopeless creature ever to live in the wilds."

**woodsy** · 03-01-2008, 14:21

If Bryson had stepped between a Moose cow and a Moose calf or two he would not think they were so hopeless, if he lived to write about it.

If Bryson writes about them, how real can they be??

**Feral Bill** · 03-01-2008, 14:38

In thier natural habitat, wading through 6 foot deep willows and wading through swamps, they look much less rediculous. Yes, they are real. I've seen 'em. Now giraffes...

Sheepdog, you may be on to something.

Perhaps its just a coincidence, but the GORP they sell up in Maine does tend to have more than the usual amount of Morning Glory Seeds in the mix.

Could that explain things?

He never saw one go over a bunch of blowdowns at speed. Agile.

I live to see them come up with a mouth full of chow, the water drains off them in an amusing fashion. But then I am easily amused. They really are goofy looking. If they exist.

Now cows...

You will notice that most of the people defending the moose myth are Mainers. You don't need moose. You have great huckleberries and lobsters. Your scenery is great. Let the moose go. The first step to complete healing is to admit that you have a problem. Take the step. We at the WB are here for you.

**mudhead** · 03-01-2008, 15:41

They got moose in de nile?

Huckleberries?

The true name for wild blueberries. Don't get me started on that.

I think that is one important piece of the puzzle.

There you go. The moose and bigfoot, throw in the loch ness monster and a ufo and you would have batted the cycle.

A Møøse once bit my sister ...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse
with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst
Nordfink".

We apologise for the fault in the
subtitles. Those responsible have been
sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

The directors of the firm hired to

The credits have been completed
in an entirely different style at
great expense and at the last
minute.
