Wallabies on the loose in Austria

[Manic]

That wasn't a typo.


VIENNA (AP) — Volunteers are searching for a pair of wallabies hopping through Austria — yes, Austria.

The kangaroo-like marsupials, which are smaller than "roos" and primarily found in Australia, escaped from a farm in the Upper Austrian countryside, about 180 kilometers (about 110 miles) northwest of Vienna. Thursday was the third day of the quest to find them.

There are actually three wallabies on the loose — owner Gabrielle Schrammel says the female has a joey in her pouch.

Austrians often express irritation at being confused for Australians while abroad, and mail meant for Australia occasionally surfaces in this central European Alpine country.

Those Vienna souvenir shops selling T-shirts with the slogan "No kangaroos in Austria" might have to start a recall campaign.

Well, Austria is screwed. Better to just quarantine the country and let the inhabitants die with dignity.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Maybe like Lloyd Christmas they just got Australia and Austria mixed up.

 

[Piper Maru]

Expect a country-wide panic.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Hundred will die.

 

[terry78]

They wouldn't even have time to be on the loose in Australia what with the man eating plants and ****.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Exactly, without the hilariously hostile environment of Australia to keep them in check, the wallabies will breed and eat and kill without boundary. Austria is doomed.

 

[Piper Maru]

I can't wait for the movie.

 

[terry78]

Wallaby - They'll put YOU on the barbie.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Starring Hugh jackman and Nicole kidman...because they are the boy Australian actors I can think of right now.

 

[Piper Maru]

With Shia Labeouf and Tobey Maguire as the Wallabies.

I misread it as "Wallabies on the loose in Australia", and I was all ready with a sarcastic comment like "What next? Moose on the loose in Canada?"

 

[jmc]

Be grateful they weren't grey kangaroos, a kick to the chest by one of those bastards will break every rib you've got.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

With Shia Labeouf and Tobey Maguire as the Wallabies.

And it'll be the best performance of their careers.

 

[Piper Maru]

Directed by Ang Lee.

"You sink zat wallaby ist your friend?!"

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Ang lee? I guess that means Macguire will get cut last minute.

 

[Ant-manic]

it's the cane toad debacle all over again

 

[Lighthouse]

They've put out a picture of one of the suspects.

^

I am totally floored. I...I don't even know who to trust anymore. Things will never be the same again.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

They've put out a picture of one of the suspects.

The face of pure evil.

 

[Piper Maru]

I'll never trust those dirty Wallabies ever again.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

As long as the suspect's cow and turtle friends don't get loose, we're find.

Although his superhero friend could help us with his Nipples of the Future.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

When I first read it, I totally read "Australia", so my first reaction was "When weren't wallabies running all over Australia."

 

[E-Man]

Looks like my dreams of an Ahnuld Meets Rocko movie will be coming true soon.
