Sam the koala

[mstakenidentity]

Everyone has probably already seen this. It's from the fires in the week before the huge fires:

I first saw this on the Age website, funnily enough they cut the bit where he says, "He'll probably get rehydrated then rip the shit out of me."

I have today off, and most of tomorrow too!

Oh, also, I saw Elvis at work last night! Three of them actually, watching them fly in was pretty amazing. They're bloody big too when you see them sitting on the tarmac.

[Edit] Seriously? Seriously?! What the hell is wrong with these people? Selfish selfish bastards

Bloody layabout Koalas, always looking for a handout and free drinks. ;}P>

(Thanks for the link!)

It's going to be fun to hear about the tourists getting their faces ripped off trying to give koalas water at wildlife parks :)

Hopefully they'll realise this little one had burned claws and was disoriented and dehydrated... hopefully they'll realise....

I think we disagree - I think that tourists being attacked by koalas is a Good thing.

Yeah, count me in as being all for Shredded Tourist Face.

Whut?

"This" as a comment would usually indicate that the commentor not only agrees and affirms the post to which the comment was attached, but thinks it is an exemplar of the various posts on offer.

Ahh! For me that is usually "+1", or, if I'm feeling like an old internet relic, <aol>

[clappamungus.livejournal.com]

Because you're just that hardcore.

Picture fail.

Unless it's because these evil work servers have blocked it or something. It's not pr0n, is it?

[fnoo.livejournal.com]

Could be a referrer link thing.

But no, it's a poster for Hackers, the 1995 movie.

[clappamungus.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Retro.

[drjon.livejournal.com]

Funny. I remember when the flood of AOL noobs turned USENET into LOSENET. And I don't feel like a relic.

I wasn't around for the September that never ended. I was part of the problem.

You know the koala started the fire, right?
