Open Thread – Brian Accessorized
Neighbor Dan had a visit from Brian today, and it appears that he’s found a way to accessorize. We’ll never know exactly how it happened, but this yellow nylon rope seemed to make a great cat’s cradle on that beautiful set of antlers. It doesn’t appear to be bothering him, and it won’t be too much longer before the antlers are shed. As tempting as it would be to grab the end and unwind our friend, I’m guessing the advances wouldn’t be appreciated.
So, Brian is stuck with his interesting accessory for now. It definitely makes him easier to spot!
Could be that the big guy is headed for Sweden to teach his less fit cousins to rappel down apple trees when they sober up. Or maybe he will just tie them up and let them sleep it off.
I just can’t imagine how he was able to weave the rope through his antlers. I thought it would at least take thumbs!
I was held captive in my car last night while a big bull helped himself to the shrubs behind my back deck; I blew the horn and yelled, but he took his sweet time eating. Once he moved towards the woods I ran for the house! Once inside I had to explain to 4 dogs, who had been cooped up all day, that they had to be content exercising in the fenced-in dog yard instead of their usual “freedom romp” in the woods. They were not happy.
You must have some awfully tasty shrubs in your yard!
I remember when we lived in Fairbanks and we put Christmas lights on our fence, moose came along and must have gotten tangled in the lights, the next morning our lights were all over the street. We also had a large chokecherry tree in the front yard and the moose would eat the berries and get drunk and sleep in the yard overnight. I have pics of them eating carrots and potatoes out of our hand on the front porch..don’t worry we kept the door open for a fast escape. This all happened in the city!
No moose but Brian could sport such antler adornment. And he looks like he is in fit condition, other than the dangling whatever it is.
Hope he loses both within a very short period. It would be really annoying to have one half dangling by the cords, bopping our poor fella in the shoulder with every step!
How does the US shape up against other countries economically? Well they’re ahead of Greece, Mexico, Chili and Turkey….and far behind those countries who boast socialized services:

And that is one gorgeous hunk of moose too, also!
Looks like Brian has taken up weaving and is working on a hammock to sell at Winter Fair. A moose has to earn a living these days. I have a moose for my outdoor Christmas display, complete with a string of lights for the antlers.
I’m betting a trend in moose fashion has begun. Don’t be surprised if images of Brian with various antler adornment start appearing from around the world. At least I’m hoping they do.
I’d dearly love to see what’s her name try to throw his Brianess under her bus.
I do believe he is modeling the latest contribution of millinery fit to be worn to a royal wedding.
I like to think of that as Caution Tape. He’s just warning people that he’s a moose and prone to dangerous outburst of violent behavior, even though he doesn’t mean it. 🙂
Mayhaps the big”B” and his lady friend(s) are into kinky shenanigans,since it is “that” time for Moosey Mating. I’m not seeing a weddihg ring in yon Brian’s nose,so he should be good to go and frolic in the fields with objects of his desire,with milady’s permission,of course. And since he is in such obvious prime condition and unattached at present,the ritual jousting for the maiden’s hand and honor has not commenced. Big Guy-if you need help and advice with the opposite sex,feel free to call Slipstream collect at 555-5555 anytime day or night.
Hi, Mike – I think the mating season is over until next year. Poor Brian will have to wait until then to put all your suggestions into play.
I thought when I first saw the picture that he was decorated with Christmas lights for the holidays!
Do you think Brian feels Silly looking?
Oh my, good thing he is soon to lose his racks so he doesn’t get knotted up with some tree limbs. Well, better than the chains from AKM’s kids playground swings. He won’t go nuts listening to all that clinking sounds in the meantime.
in the heat of battles ahead for Brian,he will already be nuts-enamored with foolish passion. I’m guessing rattling chains wouldn’t much be noticed.
It’s catscradle go ahead let’s play.
Maybe he graduated with honors, and he’s wearing his cords?
Wel, goddess bless him, he wears it well. If you’ve got it, might as well strut it!
