Damn Kangaroos are everywhere I tell you.

When I was going out for a drive one of the bastards jumped out in front of me.

Poor roo

[pacmania_2001]

Eh, plenty of them around.

That may be. We have a lot of cats and dogs around, and coyotes too, but being an animal lover (noo, not that kind ) I hate to see any animal hit by a car like that. I'm a soft touch for animals

[pacmania_2001]

So I shouldn't recount the story about how Skippy meet my headlights on a bush road then?

You can, but I reserve the right to feel bad for Skippy

Actually we Americans (except me) think roos run around the streets of Sydney and you must be careful driving or you'll hit one...

Pac, how accurate is that Simpsons episode on Australia?

It's sad that your mind is so far into the gutter Ripper. Shameful :P

I can't even talk about feelings for animals without a lot of snickering from the peanut gallery It's as if there has been a lot of discussions about animal sex in the past or something. Sheesh

It's sad that my mind is so far into the gutter

Only at night - I live just outside Brisbane, (about 3 million in the greater area), and certainly do have to dodge Roos at night on the quieter roads. They love the new green grass shoots on the edges of the roads.

The secret is to hit the horn and the accelerator just before impact. The Roos often fall over in their panic at the sound of the horn, and hitting the acelerator lifts the nose of the car so the Roo goes underneath.

Around where I'm at, you gotta watch out for flying deer - yes, they do fly

They hit you - not the other way around.


And they can do some serious damage to you and your car.


You'll even see in the most unlikely places...like a busy 4 lane highway or on a bridge.

They got the name of the country right, thats about it.

It's a good episode though.

Hello,

When have the Simpsons EVER been accurate????

It's like asking Letterman to be serious!

[ViRaL1]

Is that why they call them dumb animals?

[northcat_8]

You mean Kangaroos aren't just every where in the outback?

Capmaster - I know you are animal lover and all that, and I don't hit cyotes with the truck, we shoot them.

I remember on my first trip to Sydney we went to the Genolan caves.

On the way back I was put in charge of navigating, yeah give the English man who has been in the country for 48 hours the map (clever girl). I cocked up and got us on some dirt track with kangaroos everywhere!!!

The bird I was staying with did her bollocks!!!

Dude...some of us Yankees are going to need some translation

"I cocked up"........"The bird I was staying with did her bollocks"

I'm sure those have different meaning that I am thinking but I hope not

[Hardcoreruss]

Cocked up - Made a mistake

Done her bollocks - She went mental

[northcat_8]

Thanks mate.

[pacmania_2001]

In certain parts of Australia, animals like Kangaroos and Koalas are very common.

The area where I used to live (about 15 minutes outside a large metropolitan city) is in close proximity to a big bushland so it wasn't rare to see a Koala, Possum, Wallaby (smaller Kangaroo) or Kookaburras in the backyard from time to time.

When I drive out to my mate's house you have to be especially careful of them at the night because he is located further away from the city and they seem to like playing on the road at night.

[shoozleboy]

WOW!! A triple axel backflip with a roll-over landing!!!!!

I'd give it a 9.8 - if he would have stuck the landing.

[northcat_8]

There is a guy down the road from where I live who deals in exotic animals. He has Ostrich, Emu, Buffalo, Lama, Bears, Antelope, Gazelle, and a few others.

One day my 4 little noise makers happened to be awake and were raising 9 kinds of hell. I look out the window to see an Emu running by my house That's just not something you see everyday in rural Ohio now that I think about it, it could have been shoozleboy out for a jog

The same guy use to have Lions...until one of them got loose. The game warden stopped by all the neighboring houses and told us to get inside if we saw a large Lion coming I said "No shit? "

[yoda313]

Hello,

9 kinds of hell

I'm only familar with one type!

I told you I was packing up the wife and kids and moving to your school district, didn't I?

Well there Jedi "base 10" master

9 kinds of hell is symbolism to say that the dogs were barking like crazy. Running around the house, looking out the windows barking like they were going to tear something up.

Maybe I should have said "1001 kinds of hell" (see if you get that )

Ummm ...let's see .....the nine types of hell:

1) Marriage
2) Turkish prison
3) Any ship at sea for more than a week, with only males aboard
4) Videohelp being down
5) Internet service gone at home
6) Internet service gone at work
7) Wife finding videohelp from a slip of the tongue
8 ) Wife finding my porn sites
9) Wife

Oh yeah ...the one where you burn in eternity for all your sins. There's ten
