From the Beeb: A female kangaroo has saved an Australian farmer's life by alerting his family that he was lying unconscious in a field. The kangaroo banged repeatedly on the door of the family home in the state of Victoria, until the farmer's wife came out. In a scene reminiscent of the 1960s Australian children's television series Skippy about a resourceful kangaroo, the animal then led the woman to her husband. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3127814.stm Altogether now: "Skipppeeeee, Skipppeeee, Skippeee the Bush Kangaroooooo..."
/methinks the family was inside watching old reruns of Lassy <woof> What's that, Lassy? 3 French terrorist who enjoy sushi have thrown Tom, our 3rd cousin 4th removed, into a well on the south-side of Miami because he wouldn't pay them in decent cheese!?
Im still waiting for "Lassie in LA". Aparently its something about a dog from the hood who alerts all his brotha's whenever trouble's comin'. They had something about "Guns for Canines" too but i wasnt paying attention. Should be interesting.
[crappy Aussie accent]What's that skip? A band of multi-national and highly dangerous terrorists are right here, in backwater Oz; with their thermonuclear weapons primed to destroy little Timmy who fell down the old mineshaft? This sounds serious...[/crappy Aussie accent]
Skippy and Lassie wander into a room [woof] [] [woof] [] "Well that was a truly fantastic rendition of Romeo and Juliet"
"When they found the man lying unconcious they were reportedly heard saying 'Blimey! He sure is a big one! Let's see if we can't get him riled...'"
