'Roo meat is good stuff - just a quick sear, and it's perfect.

We here in OZ should be eating much more Roo meat than we do - they have so benefited from our changes to many areas, they are in a near constant plague proportions. I have Roo meat at least once a week. In fact, it's the most meat intake I think I have..

Over the years, with all the traveling to various races I've done, I think I've had 5 or 6 Roo hits in vehicles. Cars generally lost out badly to the bloody things. Haven't hit a Roo on a bike, (well, I did run over a road kill Roo tail on Jenolan Caves road, and trashed a Marvic wheel, that had cost me a few weeks wages back in the 80s ) but locally, I've clacked quite a few Wallabies on the way home at dusk / night from / in my single track. Stupid bloody things, and they just skuttle off, as I'm only going about 10kmph through the area they frequent. I guess there's one disadvantage of riding a quiet 2 stroke - you don't scare them off.

I've hit a few Wombats on bikes - one totaled the front end of one of my XR / CR Hyrbrids decades ago. Worried about the Wombat, we followed his bull dozed trail through the bush at Kanangra Walls, only to find him just trundling on happily, and giving us looks that sent out a "what the fuck do you want" attitude. Those things are like mini tanks.

As for Bloody Magpies - fuck em! Endangered species my arse - there's squillions of them around, and, we are about to head into their nesting period. They become homicidal maniacs for a couple of months. I've a couple of resident pairs in my garden, and we get on well. They seem to understand 'strine, as every time I see them in the yard during their 'peaceful' phase, I tell them that if they ever have a go at me or mine, they are dead meat. Those ones, keep the peace and remain friendly, babies or not. But others just go 'berko'. I spend a week or two of pedaling my area at the start of nesting season, working out where the maniac ones are, then finding more peaceful roads for training. But, getting into the large town I'm besides, for years there have been a few killer 'pies that are just out of hand, that you just can't avoid. You'll be a hundred yards from their nests, with a 5 / 6 lane, ultra busy road packed with vehicles, between you and their nest, and the Mongrels still go you for all they are worth. They are just taking the piss / having their version of 'fun' I reckon. I got a few stitches a year or two ago from the worst one, who has worked out how to target the non helmeted part of peoples scones. Got him / her back last year with my bike pump (it telescoped out on the swing!) , and it cut it out after that scare. Lets see if he / her remembers me, and keeps the fuck away. If not, it's bloody War!

Well, maybe if you are 'the lowest common denominator' percentage of humans , or the lowest of Bogans, it is.

But come here, and say it to a bloke, and you stand to have the shit beaten out of you. Say it to a woman, and you'll have the shit beaten out of you, or worse done to you. Say it to a Cop - well, at least they don't (yet) shoot you automatically.

Between friends, with the right inflection, and smile on your face, it can be an 'endearment'. We are weird that way with swearing between friends / mates. But, for the most part, it's used as a term of abuse / derision / disrespect / hate. Just like most places around the World.

It's a fairly vile word, for one of the 'funnest' parts of the female body.

You have been warned, if you choose to come here and run your mouth off with the 'C' word.

Now, for correct, comedic use of the word, or two words with a subtle modification to them, look up 'Fred Gassit', and "Farn Carn" . That will get at least some motorcyclists, giving you a smile and perhaps a shout at the pub / bar.

Maybe you need a wolf pack or two.
Is there an export market for 'roo meat?

Roos - Zillions of them away from the cities, and pretty good eating.

Wombats - furry little Tanks. Some of them, seem to be the size of Tanks, when you hit them.

Both of the above, you Do Not want to hit with your family car. Or, Motorcycle.

Wallabies - smaller versions of Roos, and, a surprising amount of them live near my place in outer suburbia.

Magpies - birds that become fugging psychopaths for a couple of months a year - that fully deserve the labeling of being absolute "C**ts" during that time.

Yeah, an animal lost its life, hopefully quickly like some said so it didn't suffer. But I see you are all above that. Good for you.

It's not the large spiders. The Sydney funnel web has venom like our snakes. I had one in the house last year- walked down stairs at night turned the light on and there he was. Picked him up with paper( males are deadlier) put him in a plastic container, got a small stick to confirm it was a funnel web by poking it with the stick to watch him stand up and attack the stick. Buggers have some power for a little spider. Showed the kids and wife, put the lid on and took him to the vet to send off to get milked.
