In case you missed it over at Ace's a while back, here's the disgruntled IKEA employee.

There's a problem in Gotham. Flash the cat signal (H/T: David Thompson).
Just another work day in Australia (H/T: Ditto).
Hmm. Sounds a little like the soundtrack of a spaghetti western (Son of Ditto).
Flattering though it is, I have to say most Australians - including myself - would have bolted up a tree at the first sign of the crocodile snout.
ReplyDeleteThat bloke's insouciance was quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteApart from tasting the water, I don't know how to tell if the croc is a saltie or a freshie. My money is on freshie because they don't eat people.
ReplyDeleteDisclaimer: Tasting the water is not sufficient proof of safety. Saltwater crocodiles are known to travel far enough upriver to be in freshwater without changing their dietary preferences.
ReplyDeleteSkeeter: Freshies may not eat people, but, er, do they ever sample them? You know, just take a bite out of curiosity?
ReplyDeletePaco: I can find nothing about freshies nibbling or taste-testing people.
ReplyDeleteWhile there are many pages on the dangers of salties on the Northern Territory government website, it paints the freshies as being as cuddly as koalas.
For example:
"Freshwater crocodiles have an important cultural value with residents and visitors.
The current threats to freshwater crocodile numbers are poisoning by cane toads, the effects of climate change and displacement by increasing numbers of saltwater crocodiles."
Hope these lockdowns haven't put a dent in your retirement Skeeter.
ReplyDeleteProbably enhanced it thanks bruce.
ReplyDeleteThousands of migrants from the People's Lockdown Republic of Victoria pushed up the demand and value of our rural property to where we were able to sell it off-market in days -- and at a price that allowed us to downsize to the beach.
Bravo, Skeeter, on your successful wheelin' and dealin'!
