I'm really f...ing tired of winter

  1. Australia freaks me out. Fortunately Crete has enough of a proper winter to kill the worst offenders:

    "The crocodile of Crete. There are no free crocodiles in Greece and this is the only one found and filmed in a natural environment. Several attempts have been made to catch it and take it to a country that can live, but unfortunately they could not and the next winter the croc died. The scientists who examined him after his death told us that it was a Nile crocodile."



    So if I vacation there I'm not worried I'll be eaten by some beast, stung by some jellyfish, bitten by some snake or accidentally rub one of these and have to commit suicide to escape the pain:

    Probably not that bad. But just for you possible Tourists. Kangaroos look all cuddly, but they can be lethal. Big claws and powerful hind legs. People have been killed by them even recently. Don't approach them too close, if it gets angry or territorial you're stuffed probably.

    But you guys have got Bears, Rattles, Gators and the Kardashians. Fuck that.

    My 85+ year old father in law went down to help get started on the planting season for a neighbor of the old family farm. The neighbor is 65+ and his kids aren't interested in farming for a life so the two of them do the majority of the work. It is amazing to me.

    "Back off Skip" :D Love it.

    Older Kangaroos can have really big Nuts - like Coconut size Nuts. They'll just stand there starring at you with these massive Nuts on display, Pamela Anderson of the animal kingdom.

    A Kangaroos greatest hits:

    Dear Mother Nature,

    Please stop being a bitch.

    Sincerely,

    A guy who lives where the average high on April 12th is 56 degrees

    Edit: Brandon, I think we have you beat today.

    MUST not have been an extra large croc. Mid south USA is in spring green up now;
    my apple trees are blossoms to the max. Peach trees bloom so early seldom have many\GA is named ''the peach state ''= farther south state.
    WE used to have lions + black bears here , private sector shot them out,1800's.
    Bears here prefer plenty of woods, like great smokey mountains, NC + VA etc......................
