In British Columbia, Canada I ran into a local quip for "Get Lost". "Go Kiss a Moose" isn't too likely as they are very shy.

I've noticed that dolphins are as fond of human babies as we are of animal ones. They gravitate right to the baby humans. It's always fun to watch!

I once saw two moose just off the road coming back from Stowe to Burlington when I was working on Dean's campaign. They're pretty impressively big, let me tell you!

That first moose looks like T.O., hee hee.

Just a few words of wisdom:

Never get between a baby moose and its Mama...

Some very backwoods people I knew used to go moose hunting every year. One day after a successful hunt, I was freaked out by their 2 year old baby crawling around with a moose nipple in it`s mouth as a pacifier. Whatever!!

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

my first husband and I were driving at least 70mph on a highway in New Brunswick. Since my eyesight was better than his, I started shrieking, "Stop! There's something in the road ahead!"

He reluctantly slowed and, as the obstacle in the road loomed larger, slammed on his brakes to stop short of colliding with a monstrous male moose. The animal was taller than our car and his antlers were as wide. While calmly chewing his cud, he looked down his nose at us. He was standing on the center line and there was no way around him. We sat anxiously watching for a half hour until he decided to amble off the road and into the woods.

They may be cute when they're young but that fellow was huge and ugly. We didn't even consider getting out of the car to take a picture.

it's great to see you posting again Chris!  And damn, these lil ones are cute.  I think the jury might still be out on the plural of moose... are they meese?  Great FSM, let's hope that isn't the case ... makes me think back to the Reagan years...

Anyway, nice to see you back, Chris!

We moved to northern NH a year and a half ago.  Since then we've seen several moose, just perambulating along the roads.  They are incredibly LARGE.

They never seem particularly spooked by humans or cars.  I saw one female on the Kancamagus Highway (a great moose-viewing location) who was chomping away peacefully at some shrubbery for a long time while people stopped their cars, got out and took pictures, etc.  She didn't seem to care.  

One thing that surprised me about moose: in photos, they look goofy because of their big schnozzes, and you don't get a sense of their gracefulness.  In real life, it's easier to see they have very long legs and are quite elegant in their movements.

they look quite delicious to me

as delicious as lambs and little baby veal calves

Edible panties taste like crap.

Or perhaps you'd like to relax with a game of Pac-Moose.

I seem to like animals like koalas and moose.

Once I saw a moose on TV plaintively lowing...and I was floored.  I was in love.

That being said, although I have eaten moose burgers, and plan to do so again, I don't like the idea of them being trophies or pacifiers for kids.  Seems cannibalistic, but that is just me.

Also, over the years, I have heard stories about how these behemoths can be as belligerent as they wanna be and how to be on my guard and to know what their particular track looks like.  

I'd rather have them on my pajamas than be trampled to death under them.  Or have a koala pee on me in fright.

Hey, bro, thanks for the shout-out!  Moose rock, of this there can be no doubt.  I can remember the children shouting about moose, but I don't remember the sobering reply. Curiously, I had an affinity for moose long before those events.  I think it's because they are easy to draw.  Most of my moose drawings are set in unlikely locations like the Moon.  Perhaps it is this context that gave the Moose such gravity and seriousness.  I would certainly like to see a pack of moose bounding across the Sonoran desert, but it never seems to happen.
