As a stationary engineer in a hospital you have no idea what a big problem wiped down the toilet are.
that sign will make no difference. As I heard an administrator say one time “ for college educated people it is amazing you can’t figure out what not to flush” |
Kangaroos continue to grow taller their entire life, they're very lean and extremely muscular as adults. These are large grey kangaroos. Red kangaroos are even larger than grey kangaroos. I doubt that 20% of Americans would fare well against a big Red kangaroo - unless 20% are as tall and built like Shaq (or a tall boxer capable of delivering multiple hard head punches very quickly before the roo grapples them). The real striking power from a kangaroo comes from its kick which you don't see in the video above - they balance on their tail as they kick with both feet at the same time, allowing them to transfer far more power than a human could; the claws on their feet would also tear human flesh during the kick. As an Aussie who's familiar with kangaroos, I wouldn't want to fight one that wasn't at least shorter than my shoulder height when it was standing tall and I'd do everything possible to grab the end of its tail first and NOT grapple with it to avoid a kick in the stomach. Kangaroos can only move forward and rely on their tail for balance. By grabbing the tail's tip, staying behind it and lifting it off the ground, you have control of the kangaroo. Once the roo realises it's beaten and calms down, push it forward, release the tail and hold your ground, hopefully it'll accept defeat and move on. |

Local identity Blondie poses with a friend I'll leave that technique to you Lokiel, having seen what their claws can do to skin. For the record no, Blondie is not albino just white. That photo was taken just after rain so the dust and dirt had been washed out. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...2dbdca791b.jpg |
Do you eat Kangaroo?
|
Eat Skippy!?! How dare you suggest such a thing! We have a billion of the things, jumping in front of cars, eating pastures, etc etc, we should eat them just because their meat is exceptionally lean and low cholesterol? You will have the animal preservationists on your case in five minutes flat ....
Coming back to earth, and keep it just between you and me, but yes, it is known to happen ... so I am told. It is (reputedly you understand) tricky to cook (because so low in fat), but catching the bastards is the really tricky bit. However if you are flat footed, or can't hit a barn door from the inside, then some of the game butchers sell it. Taste is gamey. Because this is pictures thread, I know you all can't get enough of Blondie ... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4bc9058a78.jpg The male was very interested, but then after exploratory talks (aka lots of sniffing) lost interest. Some of suspect she is infertile, never seen her with a joey. |
I love the fact that we have now had a rather detailed and rational discussion about fighting kangaroos.
9 out of 10 doctors surveyed recommend MiataTurbo.net as your source for accurate kangaroo-fighting information. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1a200131c6.png |

Yea well I went on the internet and found this so your clearly wrong here bud [/sarcasm] |
That roo standing up was shorter than his shoulder height so I would have taken him on to protect my dog too.
Note that this "True Blue Aussie" knew NOT to grapple with the roo and got in a quick/sold head punch early, causing the roo to 2nd guess itself. My advice stands :P PS: Dingoes were brought to Australia by the Aborigines over 40,000 years ago and hunt small kangaroos. When attacked by a dingo/dog, kangaroos will seek water and try and drown it: |

this is cool.

Somewhat related to the previous kangaroo discussion:
