'Rangin some 'Roo


Alright, check this out:
The other day, my buddy Jake and I found this amazing place outside of Perth, Australia. They said it was one of the few places that kangaroo hunting had been legalized. Turns out they have a population control problem. Anyway, led by a guide named Rosco, and equipped with nothing but a ridiculously awesome boomerang, we went out in search of kangaroos. We spent hours skulking around in the dessert tracking down the apparently elusive overpopulated hopping marsupials. Finally, we spotted one. Rosco said that it was a female. He said the looseness of the pouch was a dead give-away that she had recently carried a joey; pretty cool. He told us that this was the one. We followed her for a minute or two before Rosco gave me the thumbs-up. From a distance of about 25 meters, I launched my boomerang at the little sucker. For what seemed like an eternity, my boomerang sliced weightlessly through the air. My aim was true. BAM! GOT HER! My first throw had been a perfect one. The young mother kangaroo fell lifelessly onto the dessert floor beneath her. The three of us then bagged her up and brought her back to camp, where we skinned her and threw her on the ‘barbie. It turns out Kangaroo meat is really tasty…

Actually, none of that really happened. In reality, Jake and I just went to the supermarket and picked up some pre-packaged kangaroo steaks. Did you really think I would kill a roo?

  1. For a second there, I was just imagining the demonic look on your face as you knocked that little kangaroo's head off with your Boomerang from Hell. What an image.
