Everyone: “Moose! Run!”
Moose: “Come on guys, I wanna ski, too! Someone teach me! Have you got skis in my size?”
I’m just saying, that moose is trying to live his best life.
Hell’s freakin’ bells! That moose is going to vamoose!
So true.
The fact that many moose is moose, but many goose is geese, is why the English language is a pain in the ass, even for a native speaker.
English: where the exceptions outnumber the rules.
The sight of the moose trotting and looking around, rather than running head-down in a panic or rage, is very reassuring. I’d still keep as much distance as I could manage, of course.
I did get around to watching this, it was pretty funny!
“The moosiah, if you will…”
“Moose” is a word derived from a native language, so English rules don’t apply. In Europe I believe they’re called Elk, usually. Unless they bite your sister
Oh yes.
Thank you for sharing the clip again - first time you did, the quote that jumped out to me was definitely “In a country with bears, cougars, and Florida, the most dangerous animal of all is a 10-foot vegan with antlers”
I LOLed for quite a while on that one
Damn, I don’t know why I found that so funny, but moosiah killed me.
