Way to go roo

Mijder		2004-04-28 02:36:01 PM

Did the kangeroo have a website before or after he saved the fragile human?

Quadraton		2004-04-28 02:36:13 PM

Kangaroos bark?

Demetrius		2004-04-28 02:36:19 PM

"Lulu the Kangaroo". Someone needs to be slapped.

lukelightning		2004-04-28 02:38:21 PM

Actually, this was a rare carnivorous kangaroo. It wasn't calling for help, it was calling the rest of the pack to dinner.

tallin		2004-04-28 02:38:22 PM

Somebody should promote him to Captain!

/loading gun as we speak

DanB		2004-04-28 02:38:22 PM

Kangaroos are stupid.

Oops! I mean sports! Sorry, wrong thread.

RaoulDuke		2004-04-28 02:38:54 PM

Finally, a fitting use of the [HERO] tag - kudos poster...

Optronami		2004-04-28 02:39:23 PM

Skippy?

Bung_Howdy		2004-04-28 02:42:23 PM

then they threw him on the barbie...

rickythepenguin		2004-04-28 02:42:29 PM

did he stick him in his pouch? I wish I could stick things in my "pouch".

kangaroos....Jeebus' science project gone horrribly wrong.

haileybennet		2004-04-28 02:42:33 PM

good on ya mate!

Howard Dean		2004-04-28 02:45:58 PM

The RSPCA has given Lulu its animal valour award to recognise the kangaroo's heroic act with a certificate to be presented to Richards at a ceremony next month.

What's next for Lulu? Why a roast of course.

Can I just threadjack a moment and say that the FARK personal ad today is quite fetching, even if she can't spell "losing".

/we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread about large rabbit like creatures and such.

/don't thank me, I' Hotdog.

5$ Me Farky Sarky		2004-04-28 02:51:10 PM

ok, now start posting cute pics of kangaroos!

btw I didn't know that they "bark". I did see this video of some guy in a goofy full body costume getting his ass kicked by a kangaroo. it was hilarious.

szyska		2004-04-28 02:51:14 PM

What's that Lulu?? Timmy fell down a well??

AuntofDogface		2004-04-28 02:54:14 PM

Yippee Skippy!

fatal_exception		2004-04-28 02:56:34 PM

John Bonham could've used a kangaroo.

Skr		2004-04-28 02:56:54 PM

Yeah, when I first read the headline my mind added a "Capt." in the headline.
Was confused at first when reading the article.

I for one welcome our new Marsupial overlord.

strangeffect		2004-04-28 02:57:46 PM

Hotdog

To elaborate on your threadjacking, she struck me as rather retarded. She reminds me of "de plane de plane!"

Carry on.

Demetrius		2004-04-28 02:58:03 PM

Kiz		2004-04-28 03:13:33 PM

More like "Devious kangaroo clocks man with tree branch, then plays innocent!" You can't trust those giant, hopping rats.

Lemina		2004-04-28 03:15:31 PM

Hotdog

Most humbling moment: "Loosing my pants, oops."

Second most humbling moment: "Spelling 'losing' wrong on my publicly posted personal ad"

fuddes		2004-04-28 03:29:26 PM

Why are they giving a kangaroo an award? Kangaroos can't read.

fatal_exception		2004-04-28 03:29:55 PM

Thanks Lemina. I knew there was something funnier about that but I couldn't put my finger on it.

abutcher		2004-04-28 04:02:02 PM

Farking admins - I had a way better tagline when I submitted this hours ago

trigonman3		2004-04-28 04:08:44 PM

Hotdog

It can be embarrassing to loose your pants (gravity, ya know).

I'd help her loose her pants.

DrZombie		2004-04-28 04:43:48 PM

Maybe it wasn't "losing" after all. Maybe she really meant "loosing"... as in "I am loosing my minions upon this world...", just replace "minions" with "pants".

enzoweb		2004-04-28 04:50:52 PM

abutcher - me too, and I submitted it yesterday. Maybe they just don't like us.

RedheadFarkette		2004-04-28 04:56:37 PM

Old news. I remember this happened last year actually, because I used to live in Victoria.

/Skippy, skippy, skippy the bush kangaroo...
every Aussie kid knows the theme song

luvnuriko		2004-04-28 05:04:26 PM

How smart is a kangaroo compared to say a dog?

Lemina		2004-04-28 05:20:02 PM

Maybe it wasn't "losing" after all. Maybe she really meant "loosing"... as in "I am loosing my minions upon this world...", just replace "minions" with "pants".

Okay, that's way more funny than mine!

*still chuckling*

jonathanleaf		2004-04-28 05:36:34 PM

good to hear that somebody found use for a kangaroo. ours does nothing but hurl beer cans at my wife.

Asciiguy		2004-04-28 05:49:21 PM

you know we sell Kangaroo in supermarkets here. it's about $7 a kilo. but don't overcook it.

/serious.

Miss Luigi		2004-04-28 07:42:43 PM

Neat! The kangaroo shares my name!

Firefly4F4		2004-04-28 08:54:24 PM

Why am I picturing Barney Rubble being knocked out, and then Hoppy going to get Betty and Bam-Bam?
