Danger! Moose Crossing!

...We interrupt our regular programming with this breaking news from the Pie-In-the-Sky newsroom. Here now is Talkinhead Hypespewer.

Talkinhead: We have a late breaking report of a huge! lumbering! dangerous! Bull Moose crossing the Schuylkill River and terrorizing a large crowd of people enjoying picnics! This is the first Moose ever spotted in this location!

We go now to the Valley Forge Historical National Park's Betzwood Picnic Grove and our reporter Dishy Dullfacts for details!


Live Pie-In-the-Sky Video of the Breaking Event!

Dishy Dullfacts: Thank you, Talkinhead, I am at the scene of the sighting where you can clearly see, the gloomy weather has kept picnickers at hom...

Talkinhead: Excuse me Dishy, we need to interrupt! We will be back with details of this rampaging Moose after these words from our sponsors!

(6 or 7 commercials - with the most mindless one shown twice)

Talkinhead: For those of you just joining us (said in a tone of shock that someone wouldn't have already been watching) we have a report of a dangerous Bull Moose rampaging through crowds of terrified picnickers in Valley Forge!

To recap! The facts as we know them! Earlier today, a family from Cleveland, Ohio was visiting the area and enjoying the historic sites, when they went to the picnic grove to eat. Apparently, while sitting amongst a crowd of fellow picnickers, they were startled and then terrified to see a huge lumbering bull moose climb the river banks and head directly toward them! Did this HUGE Bull Moose cause bloodshed? Is Valley Forge the site of carnage not seen since the days of the Revolutionary War?

We go now to the scene where our reporter Dishy Dullfacts is standing by with a her report!

Dishy Dullfacts: ...As I was saying, I am at the Betzwood Picnic Grove where as you can see the bad weather has kept anyone from wanting to have a picnic today. The family from Cleveland, a Harold and Delores Orange Conehead would not speak to us about what they saw. They must of been really shaken up to be left so speechless.

Another witness tells us a lone walker spotted this unusual tree root and thought it looked like a Moose from the distance. Puzzled, the walker wandered over to see what it really was. As you can clearly see, its nothing more than a moss-covered moldy rotting wooden tree root. Live, at the scene of major excitement in Valley Forge, I'm Dishy Dullfacts.

Talkinhead: Stayed tuned! We will be back after these messages with the latest scandals! Will the Boys of Summer actually play baseball in the Spring!? Is this even legal?!

(6 or 7 commercials - with the one that was shown twice previously being the first one shown)

ROFLMAO! Did you take that picture, Iggy? Every time you mention those mindless commercials with the most mindless being shown twice I just shake my head, yes, yes, yes. That is why God invented DVR's (or at least he made the inventor... who knows...) Love the post.

Holy smoly! I guess this is a good example of what you were saying in another person's comment box about a picture with a subject that makes you go hmmm. It certainly did look like a moose at first glance.

Yes, Punkn, I took those pictures a couple days ago in Valley Forge Park.
