Ol' WDB's Column

by Carl Austin Bennett

Here in the north country, mOOse have been loyally posting to FiDoeNet for many years now, despite being swamped with work running a profitable Moose Factory or important businesses like Bullmoose Mines or Moose Jaw Times.

Why?

Perhaps it's because FiDoe has always been friendly to four-legged critters.

It is with horrour then that followers of the loyal order of mOOse open a dog-eared copy of the recent FidoeNews 18:3 to find none less than one of our illustrious FiDoe RC's promoting her recipe for four pounds of roast venison - Canadian elk, moose or deer.

Like, take off, eh? The typical mOOse would much rather be safely home in Moose Creek with a comfortable pair of antler warmers and a case of cold Moosehead Beer than find themselves on someone's dinner table.

At least there's refuge for mOOse who would rather migrate northward than become Carol's supper: MOOSECHAT, a Canadian humour echo for noble mOOse!

MOOSECHAT is dedicated to equality for mOOse everywhere, including chocolate mOOse, as well as liberty and justice for all.

MOOSECHAT is a shining beacon of freedom for mOOse everywhere, as well as a handy way to contact key world leaders like Vlad-on-Mir Poutine from Russia, Jean Cretin from the Great White North eh?, Saddam Insane from Iraq and Chad from Florida. It gives mOOse time away from the rat race.

It also provides valuable moose-related investment info from organisations like Moose River Gold Mines, Elk Resources and John Deere as well as sports coverage of key Senators players like Alexi Ya$hin and Hillary Clinton.

In short, it allows the Canadian mOOse to, like, gronk farther and louder.

Beauty, eh?
