This happens quite a bit here in Victoria. When, rarely through houses, but they crash through fences and break ornaments and stuff like that.

And their meat isn't even that tasty, so they don't make up for it :/

*Well, rarely

Aw man, I thought roo was tasty. Like venison only sweeter.

We rented a car and drove from Sydney to Cairns back in '91 (I'm a yank).
When we were driving up highway 1 there was one standing in the middle of our lane with a bloody nose, it must've got nicked by a car mirror or something. Mom stopped the car, I got out, petted it, it had it's back to me. It hopped into the other lane and a road train came barrelling down on us. The roo hopped to the other side of the road with me kicking and yelling at it. The trucker stopped & the driver sat there laughing at me.
Fascinating animals, but man, I thought deer were stupid. Roadkill every quarter mile.
It never tried to attack me.

Roo is tasty, if prepared right. I've eaten it.

And no, man, they are STUPID.

Exhibit A (HAPPY ENDING, ROO OK):

Exhibit B (HAPPY ENDING, ROO OK):

Exhibit C: (NO HAPPY ENDING, WATCH AT OWN RISK)

I bet thats what he did ;)

Well, that would make me kick harder and faster. I imagine if you did that to a roo you'd be dead three times over.

Perhaps the kangaroo was actually a lunatic ninja. You can never tell with those kangaroos.

...ew, why did 'Mr Ettlin was left with shredded undies and the admiration of his wife

"I think he's a hero: a hero in Bonds undies," Verity Beman said.' leave me with the feeling they had kinky I-defeated-an-intruding-kangaroo sex afterwards?

Look's like Bond's underpants are the underpants to wear :P

lydia_petze March 11 2009, 10:41:49 UTC

There's a 007 joke in there somewhere, but I just can't get to it ;-)

actually, a lot of people are boycotting Bonds because their owning corporation, Pacific Brands, just moved 500 jobs offshore.

wieselkind March 11 2009, 14:19:07 UTC

Well i don't think they sell Bond's underpants in the UK so I shan't be buying any anyway.

Do they usually have a problem with lunatic ninjas?

aesctreow March 11 2009, 14:05:38 UTC

I have to say, that bit concerned me a bit more than the entire article.
I mean, a Ninja, really?

consortofvenus March 14 2009, 00:35:08 UTC

That would be cool, though.
