The moose is the most wanted animal I would like to see before I die........there is no question in me mind when me maties take the piss out of me about it, that Im dead sure that one day I will get to see a real moose......
Well, anyways, me matie Rich who lives in Alaska knows how much I just so love Mooses, and of course him being up where the Mooses live said he would send me a photo of a real one, one where he had got real close and was himself in the photo...... so I waited and waited, and was real excited, thinking maybe it will be a picture of one in his back garden or sitting out on his front lawn, or sticking its sweet little head in his kitchen window....... well was I in for a bloody shock........... he thought this was dead funny........ can you see me laffing....... cos I aint........ me dear matie Rich only sent me a photo of him kneeing next to a real moose, yeah right, but one he had just hunted :( - it was a dead one, it made me well sad...... it was huge...... and the photo he sent just wont load onto flickr cos it says its to big....
oh very funny right? I will just say in his defence that he is a great big softie animal lover and uses the meat when he hunts...no bits goes to waste... now I wonder if 'love me, love me moose shanks' has the same meaning lol
Now, how I would LOVE a set of them moose horns/antlers..... to hang on me kitchen beams along with pride of place COWIE that me dear matie Starr sent me and me collection of other skulls, oh and me deer antlers....
You probably know by now that I go alot by the signs that Im given...... and last year it was my turn to have the free toy in the cereal box...... and, Im telling you straight up, that its a sign...... cos this is what I got, but not only one but 2 yes 2 in the same box..... now you tell me that aint no sign, cos I wont believe ya....
This is me cheap tackie plastic little nodding moose from me cereal.... I know it aint much but I LOVES this little nodding moose.... well all 2 of em....
Anyways, Rich said Alaska is full of tackie soveigners of different moose things, and shortly after the emailed photo, a little parcel arrived from Alaska...... it was way to small to be some moose horns, and the label read 'real tackie moose stuff' lol....... it sat on me dresser for a few days, it was the first parcel I had ever gotten from Alaska and to be honest I was a little scared to open it, cos me matie has a right proper strange sense of humour......... but open it we did....... and it was packed full of wonderful moosie things...... thick snuggly alaskan socks with mooses on, they was well nice.......... and these really naff but oh so precious moosie soveigners LOL......
They sit upon the top of me dresser which is filled with me treasures lol....special things that maties send me, and precious things me lads have picked out for me over the years of growing up, right proper tackie rubbish that is so precious I cant part with lol.....
Also in the parcel was some Alaskan chocolate bars and sweeties and tins of mints.... one tin of which is still in me car cos they are well hot and will take years for us to eat lol.....
We all tried bits and bobs of the sweeties and chocolate bars, they was quite scrummie......
And in amongst all the Alaskan tourist magazines and leaflets that me matie had inclosed in the parcel was these.......
oh my, oh my, chocolate truffles, oh how I love chocolate truffles.........I quickly unscrewed the lid to find there was only 3 little truffles in the jar...... thats ok, I would share them with my Sam and Jacob when Ben and Tom were not around..... me lads I thought were well sweet, cos they took one look at the little chocolate truffles and said, its ok mum, you can have them, we will have the other chocolate bars......
So I began to nibble the first one...... it tasted not like any chocolate I had ever tasted before...... it had like a fibre texture, but I thought, maybe it was proper Alaskan stuff....... so I nibbled some more...... it was not really to me liking and it was actually making me gag a little..... so I put the un-nibbled half back in the jar with the other 2 truffles and thought maybe me other lads would like them..... I needed 2 mugs of tea to take the horrible taste away........
Anyways, me matie rang up the following week from Alaska to see if I had liked all the tackie contents of the parcel, so I told him that it was all so lovely, especially the socks but I dont think I liked the truffles........ so Rich says....... what truffles?...... so I say the three little chocolate truffles in the little black topped jar........ with that, all I could hear down the phone was uncontrollable laffing and choking sounds........ it took about 4 minutes before me matie could speak........
Mel he said, please please dont tell me you ate what was in the jar........ well I said, to be honest with you I ate just half of one cos the taste was making me gag.......... Shrieks of laffing coming down the phone........ what? I say, what?........
Mel, mel, mel he kept repeating me name like some loon........ they were NOT chocolate truffles...... they werent? I said........... Mel they was real proper moose poos...........
Jebus jebus JEBUS......... your joking right...... I said, your just kidding me ya daft sod........ I swear not, he said.......... read the label.......
GOURMET POOPON MOOSETURD - High in natural fiber with a True Outdoor Flavor - Keep out of reach of children - XCV The Unlimited, Alaska......
IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE....... I had officially eaten a real moose poo..........and I DONT DO POO.......... gawds sake....... he never ever let me live it down lol........
Then a few short weeks ago, yet another wonderful parcel arrived from the states, but not from alaska but from Maine...... in it it was this......
Not the car ya dinlos but the yellow thing stuck on the back windscreen...
Its what you doodles call a 'bumper sticker' but I have stuck it on me back windscreen :)........ me maties here keep laffing at it...... and saying stupid things like....... is that sticker on about a chocolate moose..... or a strawberry moose, and when have you ever seen a chocolate moose on the road that you need to brake for......... bloody peasants some of me friends here....... they just dont understand...... dam chavs LOL.......
It reads - Brake for Moose, It Could Save Your Life...
I LOVE this sticker and like the screaming baby in the back of me car, it has become me trademark LOL........ EVERYONE knows my car........ thanks especially to me moose sticker....... ((((((moose sticker matie that sent it))))))) you so made me smile........
More then enuff poo Twaddle for a wet dark Monday night......

"...... and one day I will fulfill me dream and actually see a real live one for meself.....not a photo, but up close and for real....."
Mel, when I read that, I was thinking, "Well, yes. And she will adopt the moosie and it will live in her garden and befriend the lovely Janet -- (and I want to go visit Mel's house)!"
You know that all your blog friends want to read about this when it happens, right?
:-)
Oh, Mel. You ate the poo. You poor dear. On the upside, it's pretty funny now.
lmao love the bumper sticker. I'll take a picture of a moose for ya in 2 weeks. Headed to Wyoming/Montana and there are sure to be a few - want I should take pictures of grizzly bears too?
Marmy be warned, when you walk though the woods and yo see little piles of well, little piles of pellets, THEY ARE NOT MINI TRUFFLES.
And please don't eat the daises.
Too funny.
My sister loves Moos and Moose things so I always send her something Moose like for Christmas.
Ahh.. but Mel, you haven't lived till you've eaten dog food.
And that, my dear, is another story for another day.
~*~*~*
Just stopping by real quick.. things not much better here... but I'm trying to hang on, and trying to sound cheerier than I really am... you know?
Oh Mel.. I wish I could have some of your "toughness" .. (((you)))
Well done Alaska and Maine! One proves MT is a loon and the other proclaims it in bold print to the world. Mission accomplished! Well done, I say. And MT, you had the right idea, it is just that they are better steamy fresh--Alaska could explain that better as an E.H. (expert hunter as Pat McManus would say), but it sounds like you ended up with some stale ones. Inside tip: Caviar is not really fish eggs.
If ya want to take a flip over the ocean to my place in the fall (sept/oct) I can guarantee that I can get you to see a real moose...a live moose...or a dead one cause it's huntin season as well. So if that's what ya want then pop over...I'll put ya up for a bit :)
speechless. utterly speechless.
I have seen cute little animals made from those poos, but never in a jar like truffles. EWWWWW. I was riding in a carpool to school last spring when right in front of us a moose just appeared. The car stopped, cameras came out, and the moose jumped a fence. Awesome looking animal.
I hold the same fascination for mooses. Or is it meese? A few years ago my mother called to say there was a moose in her yard, so what did I do? I bundled the kids in the car and drove 90 miles south just so we could see the moose in person.
I walked to within ten feet of him to take some pictures before the moose gave me the evil eye and I sensed I only had moments to live.
I have 5 or 6 moose t-shirts in my closet, including a recent purchase in Montana for "Moose Drool" beer (brewed in Missoula, Montana, by the Big Sky Brewing Company).
For my birthday last year my wife bought me a moose lamp, which sits on my desk next to the computer.
Also on our recent trip, I bought myself a hand-carved wooden moose.
So, yeah, I understand the whole moose thing. I have no idea why I like moose (or is it meese?) so much... I just do.
oh chit...lmfao over here. how does one confuse moose turds w chocolate truffles?? lol this story cracks me up everytime. and why did ya put the half-eaten poop back? hide the bloody evidence of poo eating for goodness sake. just think, ur prince will come n he'll get a nice moose poopy snog. lmao
Gotta agree w/ciara Mel....once i get up off the floor from laughing so hard!!! How do you confuse....??? well, never mind - glad you stopped at half of one instead of eating them all just to please your friend! lololol
Melody, you are priceless! Luv you cutie!
cookie
ps...did you change your marmitetoasty address? I sent you some interesting pictures twice now....thought I'd get SOME response! ((no, not THOSE kind of pictures....lololol))
L.O.L.
Very funny!
Are you familiar with our American adventures of Moose and Squirrel?
Rocky and Bullwinkle are considered very wise on our side of the pond...
Great post and a fine way to start my day.
Thanks!
I have a big metal moose sculpture.
Do ya want it????
Mel... you gotta go look what I found you.. before you go down to Thomas Cook, you know?
:o)
Remind me to send you some Rocky Mountain Oysters or Calf Fries.
heh...
I have seen three moose in the last couple of weeks. One baby, one cow, and one bull. Two right in the middle of town and one out in the boonies where I live. The baby was scared because she was kind of caught in a corner so we didn't stop. The cow ran for the trees so we didn't get to watch her long. But the bull was out in the open and Adam and I watched him saunter through a couple of yards and jump a fence like it was nothing. He was beautiful and they really are magnificent creatures. If you're ever in North Idaho, we can probably find you one! :)
Phil those are great pictures. You have a good eye for composition. Reminds me of the time my brother was getting married in New Hampshire. He had some friends up from New Yawk helping get set up when a young calf wandered into the yard. The moose was only about7 or 8 feet tall and this guy thought he would approach it and investigate. Of course this was the wrong move and the moose charged the hapless dim wit who had just enough time to DIVE straight into a spruce tree. The moose looked around as if to say, "Anyone else want some?" and then he meandered off. We laughed for hours as he pulled tiny needles out for the rest of the day.
ROFLMBO!!!!! Oh, Toasty!!!! I can't believe you actually ate the moose turds. ROFL Every time I see them in the store (living in the "heart" of Alaska, I too see a lot of them in the store's souvenier sections) I kind of wonder if somebody hasn't thought they were chocolates or candies or something. That's why I've never bought them for somebody as a souvenier. LOL Now I know that some people don't realize that they are actual moose droppings. Oh my!!!! I hope it hasn't caused you any illness!!!!!!
Next time I have a moose in my yard, I'll try to get a pic of it to post, just for you. Won't be till winter, of course, as that's when they come in closer to towns & homes from the woods & trees.

Love moose! Downright LOVE MOOSE! My first experience was when I moved to Idaho 13 years ago. I lived in the Northern part of the state up near Canada. It was common to have Moose Crossing sign posted at the side of the road and it was common to have them actually cross. I would see them along the road side all the time. I was driving up and old dirt mountain road one evening and came upon one bathing in a pond right by the road. I stopped the car and got out just to gaze at him. I was in love! My entire home is decorated with them! They are sooooo goofy looking that you just gotta love them!
Forgot to say that in spite of being in love with the gangly creatures, I still would never eat their turds, so you are one up on me! HA!
October??? That's when Ol Man goes way up north hunting...for moose...for the freezer :)
Hell ya...float your holiday over here. We would have a good time.
BTW we don't bury dead moose...we cut up freeze then eat :) yummie

(((Mel))), you send me into orbit. LOLOLOL.....
BTW - I dreamed about Janet last night. I was patting her at the airport. She liked me. ;) I think the reason is that I have to go in for more tests today and they have to inject iodine. (They found a large cyst in m y kidney and want to look at it again). I hate needles as you know. So I was thinking about Janet yesterday. ;)
Lots of love, Mel. Glad you didn't become ill. But moose poop is pretty clean I'd guess... ROTFL :)
I hope you do get to see your moose someday. Just a couple of weeks ago we were driving to some friends house for a bday party, and saw a mama and baby moose eating. I never saw moose in the Silver Valley growing up, but now they are all over the place. But they can be dumb and crazy and hear, so be careful if you ever get too close!!!
I love moose, and live in moose country, well not as much as I used to but there are still some around here. They are incredible creatures, with little fear. There have been a couple times when they've been in the road in front of us, and it has taken us an hour to go a couple feet, because the last thing you want to do in a small pickup is challenge a big bull moose, or you could end up with a scrunched truck! They are beautiful, though.
You just make me laugh and laugh and laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)
Cross your fingers for me fixing up my computer today...
And feel the love I'm throwing (it's a LOOOOONG throw.) ;)
