the moose has left the building

The term is a neologism. It was a joke 'Internet term' which was first used by "Friday Night Cranks" and has since been (rarely) used by fans of the show. It was supposed to be a common "figure of speech" used on Myspace (as told on the show) and was meant be mean, "Where do you live?" when stated. Similar to an euphemism.

The term "can I take a bite out of your taco?" was also created by Friday Night Cranks at the same time this one was.

has left the building 

The expression "has left the building" used to be reserved for discouraging fans of Elvis and Marylin not to hang around for autographs, a glimpse, or a chat with their hero, thereby informing them that their hero no longer occupies the premises and has 'physically' left the building prolly in a limo ... but now generically refers to virtually anybody and anything that has 'permanently' expired, as in dead, died, death, "passed away", checked-out, dirt napped, and can no longer pay taxes and entertain the 'troops' ... but like Frank says "that's life, that's what people say, you're riding high in April, shot down in May, but I know one thing, I've been a Puppet, a Pauper, a Poet, a King, I've been up and down, and over and out, and I know one thing, EACH-TIME, I-FIND, MY-SELF, FLAT-ON-MY-FACE, I pick myself up and get back in the race ... That's LIFE! ... -bdn-
