Damn Mooses! Running around Norway, eating the pears off peoples’ trees! Smashing statues! _Being Peeping Toms!_ [http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1136389.ece](http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1136389.ece) Make the Mooses get jobs, or force em to join the Army. And give em haircuts! They look like wild animals, dammit! Send em all back where they came from, that’s what I say! ---

In a comic book, he’d thaw out & become a member of the Avengers. Sadly, this is reality. [http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=local&id=3549625&ft=exLg#](http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=local&id=3549625&ft=exLg#) Attempts will be made to remove & identify his body. Why didn’t the Army Air Corps do this decades ago? It seems as if they didn’t know he was there. :dubious: ---

> [@Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor](#): > > MODS–please close this Thread. > Garbled/duplicate. No, IMHO, we should keep this thread alive. After all, this way we could talk about the below article, but pretend it’s about a moose. After all, [the other thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=340612) hasn’t received any replies. 😛 \*\*Re: the OP: \*\*Remember how in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, there was all that stuff about Møøses? Well, it was there for a reason. Without specially trained people who know how to Choreographe Møøses, get them to to mix concrete and sign complicated insurance forms, wipe their noses, and given a thorough grounding in Latin, French and “O” Level Geography, then them Møøses would decimate the country. ---

Personally, I hate meeses to pieces, what with the big salsa-scoop horns and hoody-doody-smelling coats. Can’t even make a proper carpet out of 'em, you can’t. Run 'em into Norway. They’ll give anyone citizenship. ---

What the hell? DId you say something, **Kythereia**? What about you, **Cajun**? No, odd. Must have been the wind. I just close this window, and- _SLAM_ Ow, ow ow ow. The fucking window just shut on my hands. It was my fault, I think. I was distracted. I coulda’ sworn I saw a mouse wearing a bow-tie!
