Help us, Obi-Wan Palin! You're our only hope!


HAMPTON — People attending a conference at the Windsor Institute got a surprise Wednesday as a moose decided one of their pickup trucks was really attractive.

Mike Dunbar, owner of the business, said the moose got pretty amorous with a red Ford F150 truck owned by one of his conferees.

“I pulled in this morning and at first thought there was a horse in the driveway but then realized it was a moose,” Dunbar said. “It kind of circled the truck. It put one leg up and then a second front leg. After a few minutes, it became obvious what was going on. The people here for classes came outside and started taking pictures. The guy who owned the truck kept beeping his alarm, hoping it would scare it off but I guess (the moose) thought it was the call of the wild.”

1. Both times I've traveled to Canada to my stepfather and mother's summer home, I've seen a moose...

And both times I was absolutely backing away the second I saw it. Very intimidating. I am NOT the kind of person to be afraid of animals. But the sight of what seemed like an 800 pound 8 foot tall beast with gigantic horns scared the shit out of me. A moose is GIGANTIC.

Actually, that picture the moose looks to be rather young (maybe just a year), as his head rack isnt developed yet. Which would explain his confusion at expressing his love for that truck. :-) Or is that a female just pissed off at the truck?




EDIT:

I decided to look for a picture of what I saw twice. Looked more like this but not quite that big of a head rack:

2. Who but God (and Sarah Palin) can understand the sexy, seductive ways of the moose.
She's the Catherine the Great of the Arctic Circle

It's a love-hate relationship, to say the least
