Mr Mayor gets revenge, double the cull!!!

Best thing to happen in Canberra

What cracks me up is that the daily mail said the roo was 4ft 7in.Did someone get a tape measure out,now stand still you pesky roo!

Ben_Dover said :

The Mayor made it onto the Daily Mail UK too.

He’s bigger than Skywhale!

EvanJames said :

Actually all joking aside, it’s not pleasant to be in a punch-up with a roo, especially a big one. They’re big, and can be pretty unpleasant.

Big? Those scratches are on his CALVES!

You have to say, for a forty year old, he looks annoyingly fit.

Maybe the roo was just a slob who hates people with no real bottom.

Skippy on Irish Cream and the fags.

Mr Evil said :

Maybe it was a randy male kangaroo, excited by the heady aroma of arse & ball sweat and hot chamois?

Then again it could have been a rabbit, you know how politicians exaggerate.

Where’s the Monty Python killer rabbit when you really need it?

And apparently it didn’t attack him, it ran him over in its hurry to escape. When I’ve had disputes with roos, they sure don’t go for the legs.

>>Mugged by a kangaroo! And this was in the suburbs, had not even got to the nature park!<<

Our suburbs were built on land occupied by Red and Eastern Grey kangaroos, the descendants of an ancient life form whose connection to this land goes back millions of years. You protests are anthropocentric, Mr Rattenbury.

I think he can be forgiven for that, being a human and all.

Check out Canberra Meme on FB, quite a comical one for this event.

I can’t find it? Although clicking on the option to see things submitted by others was a good fifteen minutes of chuckling, some good ones there. Is that CanMeme or is there another one?

I hope they can catch it and give it a tetanus shot also. They would if it was a whale (an ocean one I mean).
Equality to all living creatures I say.

Shane’s made the Washington Post

That’s all very well, but what really matters is Perez Hilton’s learned views on whether it’s shaving or waxing.

Does that justify waxing?

+1.

Imho,only if one is into cross-dressing in his spare time.

I actually know a couple of dudes at work who do triathlon, they don’t wax. They are normal men, like most of us.

So is a pouchie nature’s equivalent of a hoodie?

Personally I blame all the tax dollars channeled into nature park fauna welfare.

And is a bummie the equivalent of a selfie?

Police found a kangaroo suit nearby, with a few stands of black cashmere the only possible clue…

Ha ha that’s good

A roo can spot a greenie a mile away and Mayor Ratten will be rueing the fact he didn’t keep his distance!

So kangaroos don’t like cyclists either? lol

Nice to see Canberraroos are no different to the Canberra electorate.

Even Mother Nature hates the Greens.

No need for martyrdom, after all – today we are all refugees:

(Way off topic, I know, but worth noting).

The roo probably owns a servo.

Having lost one PM at sea, losing another, while cycling, to a frenzied kangaroo attack, would mark Australia out as a very, very special nation on the world stage – and the worldwide headlines about the terrifying nature of our wildlife would surely make refugees think twice about Oz.

St.Tony – he paid the ultimate price to stop the boats…..

Payback for allowing Skippy’s cuzzie to be murdered in the last cull?

It’s not easy being Green.

He shaves his legs??!!

He is a triathlete

Wouldn’t happen in a car… just sayin’

The roos have been a bit stroppy lately out our way too, which is odd as it’s not Spring. Lot of barking and carrying on.

What’s waiting time like at the hospital today, shaved legs?

HiddenDragon12:10 pm 16 May 13

What’s that, Skip? – totally pissed off with tragic politicians disporting themselves on your turf – I hear you, bro!

So is a pouchie nature’s equivalent of a hoodie?

Justified due to lycra.

Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

BTW I like that one of his followers has made the pic their favourite.
