Major Crimes Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 On 7/11/2023 at 4:20 PM, Buckshot Bear said: 21 hours ago, Alpo said: I'm confused by at least one and possibly two of those critters. The two at the top - the yellowish one is a koala and the gray one is a wombat? On the bottom we got a platypus on the one side, I suppose that's a kangaroo in the middle although I reckon it could be a wallaby. But what's that on the other side? Appears feminine, or at least it looks to have a bow on the top of its head. The facial features appear quite rat-like. Is there a jolly Aussie animal that's a rat? 8 hours ago, Buckshot Bear said: They are pretty p#ss poor representations of Aussie animals that's for damn sure. From left and this is a WAG a Bandicoot, then a Koala, then a Kangaroo, then a weird coloured Koala and finally a Platypus. This may help. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Okie dokie. The grey one is Blinky Bill, and he is a koala. The brown one is his girlfriend Nutsy, and she is also a koala. No misogynation here. The kangaroo is Splodge. Little information seems to be available, because Blinky Bill never left Australia. Been around since the 30s, but apparently he did not have the price of a boat ticket. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just hop slowly? I've never seen one hop backwards, sideways yes. They don't walk but they move along slowly when they're grazing but always both hind legs move together with the tail and the front legs as the anchor points. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos John Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 20 hours ago, Buckshot Bear said: In Texas: I'll park on the edge of the parking lot to park in shade, and then walk clear across the lot, so that my Jeep Patriot seat doesn't burn my butt when I return. Plus, I'll open the hatch to let the hot air out, so that the air doesn't incinerate my lungs. Besides, it's not fair to my Pat. She has a shaded driveway at home, and doesn't like parking in the sun. It's bad for her complexion, uh, finish! Side Note: A neighbor lady baked a loaf of bread in her brick-covered mailbox this past week. Kinda like in Oz! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
