What's considered a "safe speed" for buffalo and crocodiles all over the road?

Reverse.

Jumping Crocodiles tour site? Yikes!

Madonna is going to be pissed that her "produce" delivery will be delayed.

"Jumping Crocodiles!" is my new favorite exclamation.
Also, WBAGNFARB.

A 22-tonne heavy rigid cucumber truck? Siouxie, it's your lucky day!

"Jumping crocodiles!"
"Austria you!"

Crikey!
Posted by: CJrun | July 30, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Sounds like a real pickle.

Maybe itdill gator to bison insurance!
Posted by: bonmot | July 30, 2009 at 02:55 PM
All things considered, I'm starting to suspect something is seriously wrong with that country.
Posted by: Clankazoid | July 30, 2009 at 03:03 PM
Siouxie....see what your daughter has to look forward to???
A word of advice from one who knows...
Tell her to avoid The Palmetto if ever possible.
Posted by: Brian | July 30, 2009 at 03:17 PM
Well, you should not be hitting the buff while driving your rigid cucumber rig at night.
That's just wrong.

When God created Australia, she musta been hung over.

And just what the hell is a 'tonne'?
Posted by: cowhand214 | July 30, 2009 at 03:43 PM
This makes that squirrel I ran over look sort of insignificant.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 30, 2009 at 03:46 PM
Did you read about the other accident? Some poor sap Schwinned a wallaby.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 30, 2009 at 03:54 PM
And just what the hell is a 'tonne'?
Posted by: cowhand214
About 2000 lbs I'd say.
Posted by: Brian | July 30, 2009 at 04:02 PM
Clank,
Oh, as compared to what? If you replace "cucumber-laden" with "orange-laden" and "crocodile-infested" with "alligator-infested" and "buffalo" with "cow", wouldn't you have Florida?
Posted by: Spiny Norman | July 30, 2009 at 04:20 PM
Well that was a bit of a pickle he was in.
Posted by: Margaritaville | July 30, 2009 at 04:20 PM
"And just what the hell is a 'tonne'?"
"About 2000 lbs I'd say."
Actually, it's:
"A tonne (t) or metric ton (U.S.),[1] also referred to as a metric tonne, is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kg or 2,204.62262 lb, or approximately the mass of one cubic metre of water."

Whoops, Bonmot, I read all the posts but I didn't see yours! My bad.
Posted by: Margaritaville | July 30, 2009 at 04:38 PM
Bon, that horrible triple pun sentence must have hurt to execute. Hope you are feeling OK after.
Posted by: MartiniShark | July 30, 2009 at 04:49 PM
Brian - *I* avoid the Palmetto like the plague and 836.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 30, 2009 at 05:12 PM
Thanks Shark.
Yeah, it was tough. I think I need to vacation and just head out on the No-pun Road.
Posted by: bonmot | July 30, 2009 at 05:15 PM
Buffalo and crocs...why did it have to be buffalo and crocs????
Posted by: Indiana Doc | July 30, 2009 at 05:32 PM
Buffalo and alligator sandwich with cucumbers, very fresh.
"Hey, You got buffalo in my cucumber! Delicious!"
"You got cucumber in my buffalo! Ew, pervert!"

My favorite part was the name of the city. It just seemed apt that they would have been on the way to Darwin.
Posted by: karen from mentor | July 31, 2009 at 06:14 AM
Being dumped in a water buffalo watering hole filled with crocs must have seemed like a Darwin moment to the driver.
Posted by: Loudmouth | July 31, 2009 at 08:26 AM
Aren't Buffalo crocodile wings supposed to be served with celery instead of cucumber?
Posted by: NotSherly | July 31, 2009 at 08:58 AM
I got nothing. Y'all covered it all.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese ™ | July 31, 2009 at 09:01 AM
Boy, the traffic report from Darwin doesn't change much from one day to the next, eh?
Posted by: Punkin | July 31, 2009 at 09:27 AM
judi must be waaaaaay hungover from last night.
WAKEY-WAKEY!!!
Posted by: Brian | July 31, 2009 at 09:33 AM
Everybody's got a water buffalo, your's is fast but mine is slow...
come one everyone, sing it!
Posted by: Larry Cucumber | July 31, 2009 at 10:25 AM
*SMACKS* Brian. Shhhhhh! Judi works very hard and deserves some sleep. I doubt she's sleeping. She's probably working very hard and cannot get to the blog at this time. Just rest Judi. We can wait. And if you could post one of my 'send ins' I would appreciate it.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 31, 2009 at 11:04 AM
wow this totally reminds me of something that happened to me last week, except I was in Indiana and not Australia. And instead of rolling a truck I shotgunned a jagerbomb on the rocks (with a twist of lemon). And the crocodiles were really just skanks. And I hit up the bathroom and not a buffalo. Cucumbers were still involved. I'm lucky to be alive.
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android | July 31, 2009 at 11:20 AM
Now, Larry, why didn't *I* think of that?!
Posted by: Bob Tomato | July 31, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Rise and shine people of the blog! What up???
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2009 at 11:26 AM
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Posted by: crossgirl | July 31, 2009 at 11:31 AM
it's eerily quiet around here

*waves @ Siouxie*
Just having my cup of coffee now! I'm out near the alligator infested Everglades, plan to be very alert should they decide to take to the roadways with their water buffalo friends. Next stop, IKEA!
Posted by: djtonyb | July 31, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Crocodile: "Okay water buffalo, you know how it goes. I am going to eat you now."
Buffalo: "No, no. If you let me go I'll fix it so that you get meat and a salad!"
Posted by: NotSherly | July 31, 2009 at 11:41 AM
I'm sorry nscindy, its just that, as a government employee I have lots of time I need to start wasting (I wish) and without blog entertainment I might actually have to start a conversation with my talented and energetic co-workers.
I guess I'll just sit here quietly and make macaroni pictures for a while.
I bet that Pitts guy has judi's door locked and won't let her in. He's a real troublemaker.
Posted by: Brian | July 31, 2009 at 12:01 PM
Or maybe it's Brad Pitt and he won't let her out.
Posted by: NotSherly | July 31, 2009 at 12:04 PM
If he's (was) wearing a kilt, trust me, SHE'S the one with the key.
Posted by: Diva | July 31, 2009 at 12:13 PM
If he's wearing a kilt and Judi has the key we may get pictures later!
Posted by: nursecindy | July 31, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Now wouldn't that be nice?!`
Posted by: Diva | July 31, 2009 at 01:00 PM
I've never eaten crocodile. I've had alligator. That's just a chicken that lead a very hard life.
But cucumbers? They're just nasty.
Posted by: Steve | July 31, 2009 at 02:19 PM
NS,
They do things differently in Oz, donchya know... like putting beets on hamburgers.Posted by: Spiny Norman | August 02, 2009 at 03:15 PM
