Saturday, February 23, 2013 3:48:20 PM It's an auerhahn, aka capercaillie. It's a kind of European grouse, and they get bigger than than one. Turkeys only live in the New World (North and South America). |

Saturday, February 23, 2013 10:45:46 AM Notice the height the video was shot at? Quite low? Nice use of the new Russian turkey dashcam... |

Saturday, February 23, 2013 10:13:39 AM I got attacked by wild turkey once. Blacked out and woke up in jail with a confederate flag tattoo and the worst hangover ever. |

@ blonc, nope, 100% british background, both sides. There was a professor in a swedish college who was yelling at his class because they were so incredibly lazy. "I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of you flunk this math class," he said. One of the kids put up his hand. "But there aren't that many in this class," he said. |

A swede called the airline and asked how long it would take for a plane to get from Stockholm to Paris. "Just a moment," the clerk said. "Oh, thank you," the swede replied and hung up |

Saturday, February 23, 2013 9:14:36 AM Not a Turkey or a Black Grouse - this is a Capercaillie, and they're AWESOME! And the males are just a *teensy* wee smidgen territorial. ;p Oh, and Capercaillie are actually a type of grouse, but Black Grouse are a different, smaller species ... they're quite funky too tho. |

@5Cats: I think it breaks down something like this. Grouse = demonic; squirrel = scrappy (with heart). It would be an AWESOME cage fight.

Saturday, February 23, 2013 8:53:44 AM @Squrlz4: Have you seen grouses fighting? They're scary! Of course there's those videos of squirrels beating up snakes and scorpions & stuff... |

Saturday, February 23, 2013 8:51:14 AM What's really funny is that for a few seconds there, it looked like the bird was going to take on the truck: "What are *you* lookin' at?!" @Squrlz4: I KNOW! I laughed so much! Grouse: Hey, what are you stopping for? You want a piece of this too? (truck drives off) Yeah, I didn't think so! lolz! @Kitteh9: Yeah, I complain if my descriptions get mangled, but often they're improved by @Fancy & @TheMods eh? I sometimes note in my comment (in the submission page) that my description sux, feel free to change it! @MacGuffin: tack!, tack så mycket! So it's a Swedish Grouse, no worries! |

So apparently this thing is a Black Grouse. What look like red eyes are actually red feathers located just above the eyes. I want a cage match: "Squrlz vs. The Black Grouse." Place your bets, people. |

The little swedish kid asked his teacher why the days in the summer were so much longer. The teacher answered, "Oh, that's because the heat makes everything expand." |

You don't have any Sweden jokes? Well it's a country full of blonde people so it can't be too hard to come up with one. A Swede walks into the post office. "This letter is too heavy," the post-clerk stated, "You will have to put on an additional stamp." The swede looked wonderingly at him, "Will it be lighter then?" he asked.
Thank you. Thank you. I'm here all week. |

Saturday, February 23, 2013 8:04:28 AM Sweden? Could be, thanks for adding that! Also: It's probably not a turkey, it's probably a "Grouse" of some sort. But those guys laughing their arses off is too funny! What an angry bird! |

Saturday, February 23, 2013 8:03:42 AM That's a pretty small bird, for a turkey. If it is a turkey. |
