I had no idea Moose could even hold swords.

#Canada

@billmarshall Just call them 'meese' and you'll find out the hard way.

@billmarshall I think swords are too heavy for them, but moose should be able to hangle a fencing foil, no prob.

#Canada

@billmarshall they need somewhere to train for the animal Olympics:ghost_gif:
@billmarshall i think they mean fencing like when you sell stolen goods. like people are selling illegal moose and you don't wanna get mixed up in that
@chelming @billmarshall Or the moose are selling illegal goods. Would YOU want to be the one to tell the moose that he can't sell that?
@chelming @billmarshall
I think that IS what they meant, and the lower sign has a typo. It should have read
USE AUCTION

@billmarshall

Moose fight with épées and foils. :)

@billmarshall You could put an eye out with one of those things!
@billmarshall What if the moose *ARE* the swords???
@billmarshall The better to protect themselves from people who think that a good time is using a sharpened toothbrush to carve their initials into a moose.
@billmarshall more fool you, it's where Moose sell their stolen stuffs
@billmarshall no, but they can pull a rabbit out of a hat (maybe)
@billmarshall image description for above:
A sign on the roadside with some forest in the background: "Start of moose fencing area
Use caution"

@billmarshall #ImageDescription: A yellow sign with black script that reads: START OF MOOSE FENCING AREA

USE CAUTION

@billmarshall Trans Canada Highway shortly after entering New Brunswick, no?

The Maritimes have an absurdly high concentration of spinal cord injuries because of moose collisions

@billmarshall to be fair moose are large ,mean, and intimidating even without being armed with an epee .
@billmarshall and here I thought they couldn’t get any scarier!

@billmarshall American mooses can't carry/use a sword but the Canadian mooses have had special training.

Yes, I know they aren't mooses. They're meese.

@billmarshall Moose are commoning herd saying "argh! Foiled again!"
I have seen a sign, and now it all makes sense.
@billmarshall Let the battle begin 😏
@billmarshall @joshua but how do they hold the nails before hitting them with a hammer?
@billmarshall They are epees much smaller and lighter than sword. Easier for a moose to handle.
@billmarshall They duct-tape them to their antlers.
@billmarshall They can hold the fencing foils much easier than the swords...
@billmarshall “Hello. My name is Inigo Moosetoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die”

@billmarshall

You mean, this isn't where I can sell my stolen meece?

@billmarshall the things are terrifying enough before you teach them armed combat!
@billmarshall Nature's most dangerous animal
@billmarshall yes. It’s better to just keep moosing along here.
@billmarshall they can’t, of course. They can, however, wield epees.
@billmarshall It's where you offload your stolen mooses.
@billmarshall no, you're misreading it. it's like "penis fencing"
@billmarshall
it's those cloven hooves. They can roll an épée like you wouldn't believe.
