You crazy Aussie mofo's

What can I say, we like to be different.

We once had a pet galah called lotto, and it'd say 'scratch lotto!' whenever it wanted it's head scratched. Which is kinda funny because we have 'lotto' brand scratch lottery tickets here...
Pointless piece of info there... I think I've seen the pet roaches on the tv, and they're a bit biggger than normal ones from what I remember.

I assume a galah is a bird?
The whole pet roach idea gives me the eebie jeebies. Yech, bugs.

One of the grossest things I've heard all day. And yet I read the whole article. Thanks. For that.

You get the best pets over in the states though, like mountain cats and a few zoo animals...ooh, and timberwolves

i had 2 pet turtles once

You're quite welcome, my dear Jane. *suddenly snobbish* They're a dirty, quaint little folk, aren't they the Australians? *takes out a handkerchief and holds it to his mouth* It makes me worry about germs and such, communicating with them.

Yeah, totally. I took my pet elephant for a walk the other day. I sucks when he craps in people's yards cause I have to pick up after him, but it's worth it. I love the big fellah.

Yeah, but we don't keep these things as pets.

*Affecting snobbishness* Oh my, yes. Sometimes I wonder just -how- the moderators ever let the filthy beasts through the door.

oh god. that is so gay. id rather have a blood-thirsty kangaroo as a pet.

btw, [img]http://www.aussiebirds.com/birdImagesSmall/gallah_sml.jpg[/img] is a gallah. loki, what part of penrith you at? do you mean penrith or somewhere even scarier, like emu plains or blacktown or kingswood?

You have a pet cockroach, Wes? What's up with that?

Yeah, you can tell. Cause he thinks it's teh gay, and you know, it's Wes.

I actually know someone that has 2 wolves. She's only allowed because she's 1/2 native. Her mother lives on a reservation and breeds them. The wolves are gorgeous with blue eyes. Very skittish tho.

I have two pitts pulls and a lab mix. I think the lab is mixed with a great dane. She's friggin huge.

i remember the simpsons episode where homer had a pet monkey. that was a great episode

this made me LOL. just picturing rentsy with an elephant on a purple, rhinestone-studded leash. would you be teh gay and call him "dumbo?"

My house is a damn zoo: 1Turtle ,2 parakeets, one of those fighting fish.
At one time we(had)numerous hampsters, a god damned iguana,
3 Rotweilers, and two other dog breeds that i can't remember right now.

All in the same house at the same time!

My gigantic Rotweiler "Shadow" was my favorite, he would only listen to me. Some Bastard poisoned him and he died. *sniffle

this would go over like a barrel of monkeys in new york. you aussies have a unique sense of what's appropriate.

How'd you guess his name was Dumbo? That's incredible! And actually, his collar is black with spikes. He looks so badass when I walk him. It works surprisingly well as a chick magnet.

whoa!

Psssssssh. You ain't seen nothin' yet. He does tricks too.

I know that a giant elephant with a spiked collar would be a big chick magnatizer for me. You couldn't get me away from you, if you had a big elephant.

Yeah, sometimes the girls want rides, so I give it to 'em. *wink wink*

Ok, they want rides on the elephant. *hangs head*

Aww, hon, it's okay. Umm...that's all I can think of.

what tricks does he do?

He can roll over, play dead, sit up and beg, a lot of the standards. We've tried playing fetch a few times, but it doesn't usually work out all that well. He get's a little too excited and tramples people, plus he usually brings back a tree or something instead of the tennis ball I threw.

Dude, that's bad-ass. Now all he needs is a big ol' t-shirt that says "Teh Ramones."

awesome. are you a disney fanatic, or did dumbo come to you in a dream?

You mean the name? Just a childhood memory. I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

yeah, me too. *looks at the framed autographed photograph of walt disney and dad above desk*

*jaw drops* You're joking, right?

yeah, i'm joking. my dad isn't in the picture. it's just unlce walt.

*makes a mad dash to steal the picture* I saw it first!! It's mine!!

Was the picture of "Uncle Walt" taken before or after he was cryogenically frozen? I'd buy that for a dollar!

Ok, you guys have obviously never SEEN the roaches down here.

Some are large enough that if you tread on them by accident, they don't squish, the fucking perform a JUDO throw on you.

There was even something on TV last week about training a cockroach how to 'come' on command, like a dog.

the last time I went camping I saw a platypus. I'd love one for a pet, but only if it can be trained to stab my enemies with her poisonous rear toe nails... "I know you just offended me, strange-person-on-the-street, but my platypus just got her nails done! Check it out, for real!" Not sure if it could keep up with me when I flee the crime scene tho... But they'd look dead classy on your shoulders, natch. Bill on one side, funny tail-thing on the other side. Unless they accidentally kick you with their rear feet of course...
"...even god has a sense of humour. Just look at the platypus"

no, the photo of uncle walty is from when he was alive and favored the clean cut ibm dress for success look.

cockroaches are disgusting creatures as any city dweller in the world's capital metropolis will tell you. rohan, do you own one of these palmettos?
