What does the Canadian Mafia do when they want to send you a message?

...apparently, they put a moose head in your dumpster.

This week, there was a moose head in our disposal bin behind the office. As in, the severed head of a very large roaming land mammal.

Moose. Head. In our dumpster. What the FUCK?

Now, I know some of you think that we Canucks live it rough up here on the tundra, spearing stray narwhals and clubbing seals on our way to work in the morning, but we do indeed have cities. I happen to live in one of them, and my office happens to be downtown. Not a whole lot of room to be slaughtering animals that are the size of a Buick, y'know? So I can't help but wonder a) Where it came from and b) WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm not going to post a picture of this poor animals cranium here because some of you got grossed out when I posted a picture of a dead mouse. This is one vowel and about 75 pounds different. But I know there are at least a few of you that are going, "OMG ewwwwwwwww WTF that is so gross A DEAD MOOSE OMG well aren't you going to show me?"

No? Just me then?

Well here's the picture anyway. Click or don't click, I don't judge.

(I do check web stats though.)

Anyway, all I can say is - I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED. I don't care what kind of dead animal you put in our dumpster or throw through our front window*. I've been sick and really busy. You're not getting your artwork any faster, okay?



*Just a suggestion. My work day is pretty boring, barring the odd severed head.

Holy Moly, Batman!!!!!

FoN said...

I clicked - I couldn't help it. Less gross than the mouse, but...what the FUCK is right.

ArtSnark said...

ok ewww. Maybe the fortune cookie I got tonight was meant for you?

gretchen said...

More importantly...where the hell's the rest of the moose?

Becky said...

Excellent point as usual Gretchen.

And Keely, that is it. Canada is so much weirder than I thought. You have got to get out of there! Maybe best to head down to Georgia and lay low for a while. Say the word and I'll send you some bus tickets.

kyooty said...

That Poor Moose! I think though that I may have seen it's butt by the side of my Canadian Highway?

anymommy said...

Stand firm, girl. Don't let them intimidate you. They have a pissed off moose spirit to fear!!

Ice Queen said...

I clicked...I couldn't resist. Probably the most random story I've heard all week.

Pricilla said...

Sheesh, that's my cousin!

Ms. Salti said...

OMG, seriously! What the fuck is wrong with people!?

Gillian said...

I'd fucking mount that mighty moose on my front door and tell the neighbours its Rudolf and you new Christmas decoration.

Its such a shame letting a Moosehead go to waste. Either that or make a moosehead stew. I believe its really tastey with lima beans and a side of green salad. I can look up my moosehead stew recipe if you like.

Its really no trouble at all!

Tori said...

WTH?! That's just random. You gotta be wondering, why?

And I clicked. I couldn't resist. Poor moose. :(

K said...

Well, I guess I'd take the dumpster over my bed if I had a choice.

Jennifer said...

That is insane. A moose head. Huh.

Web-Betty said...

You Canucks sure know how to make things interesting. What exactly were you looking for in the dumpster? ;-)

Stina said...

Holy best scene in Godfather reference, Un-Mom! I did click on the picture. It didn't bother me. Is that bad? How does one enter the Canadian Mafia? guess the hunter wanted the body for meat, and didn't want to stuff the head. Did someone take it out? Can it still be stuffed? I would love a Moose head in my house. Take care.

Jenni said...

I clicked. Had to do it. It actually made me feel sad. And little nostalgic for Northern Exposure.

Caitlin said...

I totally looked. Commence severed moose head nightmares.

But seriously. Why would anyone do that?!

Michele said...

You mean you didn't take it home to cook it up for dinner?

Mama Badger said...

Yah, I looked. That takes the cake for weird krappe found in dumpsters.

mannequin said...

Oh why oh why did I have to click?
Not even a proper burial.
I do so hope you spoke a few kind words over the dumpster.
He will be missed.

otin said...

So you are saying if I want some head, I need to meet someone by the dumpster behind your office!? LMAO!

Joanne said...

Poor Moose -- some jerks eh?? I can say that I am Canadian and worst thing in our dumpster (so far) is some old Christmas lights (recycle dammit!!!)

Blogging Mama Andrea said...

I was starting to think Canadians were normal people but this shot that little theory all to hell.

Erin@TheLocalsLoveIt said...

What a way to start the week. (for you, not the moose - obviously)

ZenMom said...

You couldn't just pay the protection money. No, you had to go and be all noble and righteous. And some Moose-Bambi is without a Moose-Daddy. I hope you're happy. Next time just do what the nice Goombahs tell you!

obladi oblada said...

Awww poor Bullwinkle. Be thankful it wasnt in your bed when you woke up. Thats just wierd....I wont be clicking on the picture thankyou. Ive seen moosehead (attached to live animals) before, but thanks for the offer.

Elisa, The Unlikely Housewife said...

oh, um...eww?

rxBambi said...

I admit, I looked. Ewww, but it least it wasn't in your bed. Oh crap, someone already did the Godfather reference. Oh well. I'm saying it anyway. So there.

Michelle said...

Wow. I can't even begin to think of what would posess someone to do that... (and no, I didn't click on the link, I have a weak stomach where animals are concerned...)

Becki said...

Wow! I totally clicked on the picture - cool!

Mad Woman said...

I totally clicked on the picture, but considering just yesterday someone else posted a picture of their uterus after it had been hacked out of them, I figured it probably couldn't be any worse.

Now. I didn't know we had any mafia in Canada. It would have made life so much more interesting if someone had put a moose head in MY dumpster. I might not have left the country!

Frogs in my formula said...

Is that FOR REAL?? I can't believe it. It's awful and what happened to the rest of him??

piecemeal people said...

Uh...

(I got nothin.' But I totally clicked.)

Mary Anne said...

Yup, I clicked. My curiosity got the best of me . . .
That is just, well, strange.

Mrsbear said...

Ok. I clicked. I also peek in to people's medicine cabinets on occasion. Awful. I know.

Poor Moose. Recently the police around here arrested a guy who was going around slaughtering horses, butchering them, and selling the meat to god-knows-who. He would just leave behind heads and I guess whatever miscellaneous parts they couldn't use. Just a possibility I suppose to account for the remains in your dumpster. Mooseburgers.

The Stiletto Mom said...

Oh dear Lord, how I wish I hadn't clicked on that link right before lunch. Love the politcally incorrect packaging though!

Staci said...

At least they didn't leave it in your bed or car. Maybe there's a moose serial killer on the loose. Who knows?

Raven said...

All I can say is What the fuck is that about???

Ane Fallarme said...

WTF... poor moose!

Design it Chic said...

Waiting for the random today:)

Suzie Que said...

Eeek! Actually not as gross as I imagined but gross enough, indeed.

Miss Angie said...
