"the python, named Fluffy"
Right then. I'm never going to Australia.

"We figured if it could eat the wallaby, it could easily eat our five-year-old."
Ya think?

The snake 'acquired' the dog? How pc is that?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 02:07 PM
Snakes. Why is it always snakes?
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 27, 2008 at 02:08 PM
Wallaby danged.

Doc, because Dave has a thing for snakes, IYKWIM.

i'll go to hell for this but... the first thing that came to mind when i saw the picture was of my first Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws house. let's just say that my ex father-in-law was a chow hound. i know that he never chewed anything before swallowing. can't figure out why in had such gastrointestinal problems.
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 27, 2008 at 02:15 PM
in = he
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 27, 2008 at 02:16 PM
We all know that Dave LOVES slithering slimy snakes as we can see from this crap cam photo.
Ridley does too.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2008 at 02:19 PM
ww - mine,too! He had practically a food orgy in front of us. He was obese, yet blamed his meds for having to have a mastectomy. Yes, whut I said.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 02:20 PM
Sioux - that'll teach them to write about snakes. Or not.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 02:20 PM
*SNORK* at Annie!

Speaking of snakes, the jury is about to give the sentencing decision in the trial of the cop who killed his pregnant girlfriend. Hopefully the gets the slow drip to Hell.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 27, 2008 at 02:23 PM
Maybe he could room with the snake...for a while...bwahaha....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 02:25 PM
Wicked, I do hope you got therapy after that one! My ex-boss, Jabette the Hutt, was in league with your father-in-law. I always kept my hands and feet at of range when she was grazing. She still gives me nightmares.

Since snakes swallow their prey head-first, all Australian mammals will need snake protection.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 27, 2008 at 02:27 PM
^out of range SIGH!

*wonders if a reticulated python can swallow a reticulated giraffe*
Posted by: ellie | February 27, 2008 at 02:29 PM
I'd hope the snake could eat that outfit Chris. I don't think the model would be a problem since the wallaby probably weighs 10X her weight.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 27, 2008 at 02:32 PM
DPC - excellent point, except you overlook one thing.
Models are cold-blooded.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 02:32 PM
YIPES, Annie!! Night of the living dead models!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2008 at 02:36 PM
Gulp me wallaby down, snake, gulp me wallaby down!
Posted by: CJrun | February 27, 2008 at 02:39 PM
where did they get a picture of me first thing in the morning? no sh!t, i have a pair of those contacts and occassionally wear them just to scare the crap out of my boss and co-workers. makes the day so much more enjoyable, at least for me.
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 27, 2008 at 02:40 PM
CJ, I was thinking of "Digesting Matilta."
Posted by: Hammond Rye | February 27, 2008 at 02:49 PM
Wicked, those would have been a great Jabette deterrent. Dammit, missed my chance.
Posted by: Texgal | February 27, 2008 at 02:51 PM
"Matilda"...
Posted by: Hammond Rye | February 27, 2008 at 02:52 PM
Hi, Hammie! I waved atcha earlier, but you were gone by then. :)
No one noted the fact that this snake ate the wallaby AND her joey which was still in the pouch. Poor little guy.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 27, 2008 at 02:53 PM
Aww, DD!!!
*Waves!!!*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | February 27, 2008 at 02:54 PM
Jes???
Posted by: Matilda | February 27, 2008 at 02:55 PM
*burp*
Posted by: Rosie | February 27, 2008 at 02:56 PM
diva, i noted it, but failed to comment. i was thinking appetizer.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 27, 2008 at 02:59 PM
cg - i love your perspective. :D
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 27, 2008 at 03:02 PM
If we start getting stories about a giant snake in Southern Idaho/ Boise area..... oooops.
I loved that snake, it ate the neighbor dog that killed our rabbits. -now that was a backwoods sentence-
Posted by: Alfred | February 27, 2008 at 03:05 PM
Actually, I rather liked the photo's caption.
...swallow a wallaby and joy...
No one in Australia will ever smile again.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 27, 2008 at 03:07 PM
I noticed that caption, too.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | February 27, 2008 at 03:18 PM
Just judging by all the posts about Australia on this blog I don't even see how Australians can walk outside of their houses and live to tell about it.
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | February 27, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Final score:
Reptiles - 2
Marsupials - 0

"Python: Australian for bier."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 03:32 PM
Tune in Next hour when it will be the Monitors Vs the Platypus.
Should be an interesting one folks. I hear the Platypi are getting poisonous claws for just this event.
Posted by: Alfred | February 27, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Annie- When I did a search for Bier, I found this.
Posted by: Alfred | February 27, 2008 at 03:41 PM
Oops, posted without the link. Many Apologies to all.
Posted by: Alfred | February 27, 2008 at 03:42 PM
The monitors will crush. Those things are huge.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | February 27, 2008 at 03:44 PM
A 'bier' is an enclosure for a corpse, but when I g00gled it, I found a confused restaurant. Obviously they had hired a marketing firm from West Virginia.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2008 at 03:57 PM
I think thats just a norwegian way of saying it. Beer that is.
Posted by: Alfred | February 27, 2008 at 04:21 PM
I think the Germans spell it like that too. Mmmmmmm....Weisbier.
