THE MOOSE HAVE BEEN LOOSED!

Humor Post #82 from the world’s Crankiest Curmudgeon’s Middle School Blog (and probably the awesomest YA blog too) –

Somebody once said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Well, besides the fact that this dude was wrong — hey, I just watched the Giants crush Green Bay Sunday night and that was new — HE WAS REALLY WRONG! There is something like totally new under the sun ready to make its appearance. You know, like no one’s every heard of it or thought of it before. That would be Daniel Berenson’s books of MOOSE JOKES. Notice that the word “book” is plural. He’s publishing two of them in the next couple weeks, but to get a sneak look at what’s coming, he and Maureen (his girlfriend who does so much work and gets so little credit) have put out a preview on the new Moose Jokes page at FDB (that would be Freaky Dude Books).

So check ’em out and see what you think. Daniel says they’re kind of like elephant jokes, which apparently were kind of big back in ancient times, but he says people like moose a lot more than elephants and their breath isn’t as bad.

Yeah, I know. I don’t get everything he says either even though he’s like my bro and all. But I have to say he tries.

Talk to you again soon as Daniel lets me know something that I think’s worth hearing.

It’s not every day I get to be a part of history. Well, actually it’s not any day I get to do that. But today is different. Today is the day Daniel has asked me to introduce MOOSE HOCKEY to the world. And I’m proud to do it. Check it out by clicking on the MOOSE HOCKEY page of our site. (It’s just above here on the menu buttons.)

Why do I like Moose Hockey? Ah, let me enumerate the ways. (Yes, I spent time coming up with a new word to honor this occasion.)
1. It’s fun.
2. It’s cool.
3. It’s about moose.
4. Playing the game helps a certain moose to achieve greatness and that’s a very good deed you’re doing to help him.
5. The game is kind of addictive. Good graphics, funny sound effects, and hey, it stars a moose.
6. It’s not easy to get a high score. One time I actually got a 1! I lasted like one second. But that’s because I was distracted and hit the space bar without even looking at what I was doing. I didn’t get fooled like that again!
7. There’s a secret to getting a super high score, however. I discovered it by accident and earned a ginormous number for Malcolm. But that was only once. I couldn’t get the thing to do it again.

The game was thought up by Daniel and he did the graphics and the sound effects. But he couldn’t have gotten anywhere without Trevor, who coded the whole thing. So thanks to them for helping me lose over an hour of my day (so far).

So go play a game or two. If you like it, please spread the word. Where else you gonna get the chance to play moose hockey and be a moose hockey hero? C’mon, tell me.

I didn’t think so.

P.S. Note: Since the game is in Flash, you can’t play it on an IPhone or IPad. And we’re trying to figure out how we can get it to work on phones. But it will work on any computer. And that’s probably where you are right now. So what’s holding you back?
