Vanessa Aussie Thread!

Pictures of Vanessa from her Aussie trip!

Whilst in Aus, Zac told of what happened to Vanessa at the zoo:

First stop, the Taronga Zoo. Now, I've been to a zoo before. I've seen the Lions and the Giraffes and the Zebras. I've watched the gorillas play around in their glass cages. I've seen the bears mosey back and forth in their pseudo-forest habitats. I've even had monkeys throw poop at me from their pens (They missed. Barely.) Yes. I have been to the zoo. Still, as we handed over our tickets, I could sense this was going to be a very different experience. Instead of a zoo keeper, we were greeted by an "EMU" -- A very large, "ostrich" like Bird that resembles the raptors from Jurassic park. This was fine... accept for the fact it was OUTSIDE ITS CAGE. It was huge, mean, and to make matters worse, Vanessa and I almost knocked it over walking in the entrance. As we stood nose to nose with the monstrous animal (which could have taken our heads off at any moment) I instantly forgot my jetlag, and was amped to continue the tour. I mean, any zoo that has giant, man-eating birds walking freely on the grounds has to be somewhat cool. After I single handedly scared off the Emu and saved the damsel in distress, we headed over to the Kangaroo exhibit. Our guide let us "ooh" and "ahh" for a few moments before unlocking the gate and shooing us inside. Inside. Inside the cage. WITH THE KANGAROOS. Believe it or not, we were instant homies. I was chillin with 3 of Australia's coolest marsupials. We hung out, drank water, ate foliage, talked about the weather, hopped around a bit... you know, kangaroo stuff. On a serious note, at one point, the largest Roo stood up and tried to "Box" Vanessa for no apparent reason. I tell you, on its hind legs, the thing was monstrous, and had a better stance than Muhammad Ali. Only one thing raced through my mind as Vanessa stood there face to face with the heavyweight champ . . . awesome. Anyways, back to an even better fight — Vanessa VS. Kangaroo. The two were at a stalemate. The Kangaroo stared deep into Vanessa's eyes. You could cut the tension with a knife. Everyone was silent. The air was still... Then the Kangaroo got distracted and started to eat flowers. Yeah, no mutant super powers were used in this fight. Just Kangaroo A.D.D.

Vanessa vs. Kangaroo starts at 0:37

If you want to be added, just give us a shout. Also, if you have any art you want to add, I'm more than happy to add it in.

[scabbyabby]

I have perfect timing.

Thanks for the new thread Dani.

Holden, you sound way too relived about my limited questioning, I may have to seriously think up more now.

[Less Than Perfect]

Thanks Dani!

Morning Abby! Mm, that's a sign that I really should be in bed. Work at 730. If only I were tired.

Only because answering the questions takes longer than I remember!

[otherwise]

I like the title. Though I'm not convinced any Americans will like any type of Vegemite, ever.

[Less Than Perfect]

Hi Rhiannon!

That's because no one ever tells them to only put a little bit of it on!

[scabbyabby]

Vegemite is like the Aussie equivilent of Marmite right? Even though they taste different. I don't like marmite so ....

I rarely see you in the mornings. I value my sleep too much.

I struggle to think of exciting questions. Fail, I know.

Hey Rhiannon.

Wait... since when have we had a 3rd mod? Or are you covering for Jill as she does the big move?

[otherwise]

It's no fun if you tell them that!

I'm just covering!

[Less Than Perfect]

I've never had Marmite. Isn't that more meat-y? Oh wait, I think that's Bonox.

That's true, it is no fun that way. But I always feel bad for celebs when interviewers give it to them and that take a big spoonful. It's so nasty that way!

I'm curious why you didn't get a welcome thread, Rhiannon! I feel bad.

[scabbyabby]

I've never actually had Marmite. It so doesn't appeal to me. I know I won't like it. It sounds gross.

Welcome to the board then.

Feel bad Holden, feel very bad.

[Less Than Perfect]

It doesn't sound nice at all.

The MST welcome threads are done by Johnnie, not me. Don't try making me feel bad again, Abby.

[scabbyabby]

*giggles*

[Less Than Perfect]

You missy are trouble.

[heartunprepared]

Hey Rhiannon! We get to welcome you somewhere!

I think that the cheese infusion might make Vegemite more likeable to the American pallate.

[Less Than Perfect]

Would it be cheese overkill if you added actual cheese as well?

[scabbyabby]

Me? Trouble?

Americans do love their cheese.
