*sigh* and all at poor lil Bambi's misfortune.

You know what they say about being in the wrong place at the wrong time??

LMAO!

Actually, more a mix of beef (not as good) and Deer (much better)....DH went moose hunting a few years ago, and our freezer was full for a year!! Moosestew, moose meatloaf, moose steak, etc....I prefer beef still because I love moose alive

Oh my!!

Our "Moose" will be very nervous reading this!

lol Sandy...

yes my work environment improved few years ago...we used to have a store manager that was so unfair, things were unorganized, she was terrible mind games with all us managers....instead of her being proud if we did good..she would get down on us...thinking she was jealous..and here if we were doing good ...that looks good for her..duhhhh

anyhow she got fired....we have a new store manager as of three years now..and I was promoted to his assistant....we have more structure...and I think it works well....

but we also have fun....we have had the owner have picnic for the three McDs he owns...that was fun. We have had the last two years, Halloween partys....which were dress up optional...with costume prizes, contests between workers from the three stores....fun...

Now we had this summer fun filled weekend....with the hawaiian summer theme....and they had it broadcasted on radio from the main bigger store next town.....so customers knew the specials on the salads and ice cream...

but also it was good for the crew...they are enjoying the free icecream per day for them, the wearing other shirts....really enjoying the lais....hahaha

I am planning things for the next few months, like in March a Tuesday Trivia....something where managers will give crew who want one...a Trivia question (made up of questions on procedures, or stuff to do with work) If they get it right..I will have a free sandwich card for them or something....each Tuesday of the month.

April, I am planning on putting up a fun inspiring or funny quote per day up on bulleton board.....

I tend to bake goodies for at work too...they so enjoy that....

we have moody workers, we have the gossip crap, we have the usual stuff that goes in a work place...but overall...I am thinking we run it well....now that WE are in charge....compared to the past....

hugssss, sarah (sorry for going on about my job...ahhhh)

*snort* I just got done reading A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. It's about two guys who walk the Appalachian Trail and I haven't laughed that hard at a book in a while.

Here's a snippet about what he has to say about moose:

"Hunters will tell you that a moose is a wily and ferocious forest creature. Nonesense. A moose is a cow drawn by a three-year-old. That's all there is to it. Without doubt, the moose is the most improbable, endearingly hopeless creature ever to live in the wilds. Every bit of it--its spindly legs, its chronically puzzelled expression, its comical oven-mitt antlers--looks like some droll evolutionary joke. It is wonderously ungainly: it runs as if its legs have never been introduced to each other. Above all, what distinguishes the moose is its almost boundless lack of intelligence. If you are driving down a highway and a moose steps from the woods ahead of you, he will stare at you for a long minute (moose are notoriously shortsighted, then abruptly try to run away from you, legs flailing in eight directions at once. Never mind that there are several thousand square miles of forest on either side of the highway. The moose does not think of this. Clueless as to what exactly is going on, he runs halfway to New Brunswick before his peculiar gait inadvertently steers him bak into the woods, where he immediately stops and takes on a startled expresion that says, "Hey--woods. Now how the heck did I get here?" Moose are so monumentally muddle-headed, in fact, that when they hear a car or truck approaching they will often bolt out of the woods and onto the highway in the curious hope that this will bring them to safety.

.....I could have slain this one with a slingshot, with a rock or stick--with a folded newspaper, I'd almost bet--and all it wanted was a drink of water. You might as well hunt cows."

So who do they call to get thier hard hat back? Assuming they would ever put it on again.

Oh Gazelle......how funny! Thanks for that, but you'd better hope some-one goes over to the next page before our "Moose" sees this!

Bill's right. I have seen moose do some things no one would believe.

I saw one run right off a 25 foot bridge one night on a logging road...first he was running in front of us and then.....GONE!

I've hit a few, always in a company truck ( YAY!) You just aim for the head so you don't ruin the meat or the vehicle or you! And yes, we took them. Filled the freezer for the summer and they fed a LOT of poor guides!

It's all good, cooked over a fire and rubbed with garlic and butter!

I'm feeling a little distressed about the posts that mentioned eating Bambi...or dread the thought.....Santa's Reindeers!

I remember being a child and relying on those reindeers at Christmas time.

I also remember when my daughter was doing that very same thing........and people eat them??

Please, can some-one tell me how do you explain the reindeer in your freezer to a 4 year old?
