Planet of the Drop Bears, Curious Stories of the Ridiculous Options

We are making our Road trip to Cali for our intial beach head invasion and takeover of California. My troops insist on stopping at every touristy stop on the way. So far we have pic of the worlds largest ball of twine.

The drop bear conspiracy has been touched upon by the news!! Sydney Morning Herald has reported that drop bears are more ferocious than salt-water crocodiles.

Cranky koala meaner than stolen croc

A cranky koala achieved what an angry croc couldn't - it beat off thieves.

The bizarre incident began when Rockhampton police in Queensland received a tip-off that someone had a crocodile in their possession.

"The police came to the zoo, checked out our exhibit and we were down a female freshwater crocodile,'' said Tom Wyatt at Rockhampton City Council.

The 1.2 metre crocodile - known simply as "the girl freshie" - was dragged by thieves over a 2.4 metre fence in the middle of the night.

"Can you imagine these people struggling over a 2.4 metre security fence with a writhing wild reptile?" he said.

"It's not a baby you are holding in your arms here. We are talking about 40 kilograms and 1.2 metres of absolute fury."

"They are not man-eaters [like salt water crocodiles]. But they can still give you a nasty bite."

The thieves originally planned to take one of the zoo's koalas and only changed tack after it proved too vicious, 21-year-old zookeeper Wil Kemp told smh.com.au.

He had been told by police that four people were involved in the wildlife heist, which allegedly involved stealing a koala and swapping it for drugs.

"The original plan was to steal a koala - that's what they were going to use to swap [for] the drugs,'' Mr Kemp said.

"[But] apparently [the koala] scratched the shit out of them.''

"The blokes have quite a lot of scratches and lacerations caused by the koala.''

The thieves then decided to take a crocodile instead.

"I don't know what makes someone go, 'Oh we tried to steal a koala and that didn't work so lets go and steal a croc.' "

"The people who did it must have been quite stupid. It's the last thing I wound have thought a member of the general public would try to steal for drugs."

Mr Kemp said the meat and skin of a freshwater crocodile were worthless, but the stolen reptile might be sold in the pet trade for about $600.

"I'm worried and angered. I spent the last three years looking after it. I hope at least [the person who has it is] looking after it OK.''

He said police had told him they had been unable to locate the crocodile.

"They can't find it because it has been passed on to someone else who traded it for some marijuana and speed.''

Two women have been issued with notices to appear in court over the theft of the crocodile.

Sergeant Paul Elliot said a lot of rumours were flying around about what the thieves' original intention was.

"There's a lot of that going around. We can't confirm or deny if their intention was initially to get a koala. It's all specualtion at the moment."

He would not comment on the drug deal allegations.

Police believe the crocodile was taken in the early hours of Saturday morning but Mr Kemp remembers seeing it on Sunday morning.

He thinks it must have been taken on Monday morning when another drama occurred at the zoo.

"One of the wombats got bitten by a snake. No one can officially remember seeing [the female] crocodile on Monday."

Good job, boys!

Now THERE is a run gone wrong. :grinbig:

[PlainWhiteSocks]

Seems the motherland (Australia) is still in good hands. I wonder what the croc did to catch the ire of the Drop Bear?

[fistandantilus4....]

'prolly mouthing off. Those alligators are known to be big mouths after all.

[Magus]

Brethren I am concerned with the Media in the New Disney Flick, the Wild. They are mocking the Holy Drop Bear by poking fun his lowly cousin the Koala!! My rear echelon in Orlando are making plans to eradicate this slur on our familial honor.

[PlainWhiteSocks]

Perhaps this Disney prodding will entice more lowly koala's to join the blessed ranks of the Holy HMHVV Drop Bears. Once the koalas see your troops in action against the Disney oppressors we should get an influx of new recruits. I will ready the temple to welcome them into the fold.

Good job magus.

Are we sure it's mockery? As voiced by the brilliant Eddie Izzard, isn't it possible that this character was designed to promote a false sense of security among the uninitiated?

Or am I hoping for too much?

[BookWyrm]

Dear God In Heaven, have mercy upon your poor pitiful creation, and make this STOP.

[Kremlin KOA]

*Doses Bookwyrm with Gamma Scapolamine* "For you, it has stopped"

[stevebugge]

There is no stopping the inexorable march of the Drop Bear Legions

[Tattered~Seraphi...]

*LMAO!* That's funny! I'm very impressed, the koala concerned must indeed have some Drop Bear blood within him to be able to achieve what a croc couldn't!

[Grinder]

You're still laughing? Did you read the whole 70 pages of our holy crusade? If not: do so and return here after it.

Drop!

[fistandantilus4....]

I don't see how he could have. Other wise he would have been crying, and the spelling would be bad, because his hands would be shaking. It's always hard, even on the initiated. Some walk on coals, some deny food, some, self mutilate. We read Drop-canon.

[stevebugge]

Funny and all this time I thought I just had a drooling problem, you're telling me it's caused by reading and rereading the scripture?

[Tattered~Seraphi...]

I was refering to the article about the koala and the croc. ^_^
Sadly, I haven't managed to read the whole 70 pages of the thread yet (being a student with a huge dissertation to do). But I don't think that I'll be broken by the end of it- I teach myself about Superstring Theory and M-Theory, which IS something that breaks your mind and makes your brain dribble out of your ears, especially when the maths for it is involved. ^_^ Muwahaha!!!!

[Grinder]

Others tried and failed, so will you.

[Tattered~Seraphi...]

Want a bet?

[Tattered~Seraphi...]

*Has been flicking through the last few pages of the thread*

Oi! Ophis! :P Don't you dare plan on killing ALW, after all, he did write the music for only the greatest musical, Phantom of the Opera.........
Muwahahaha........ *grins evilly with an idea for the Drop Bear Musical*- Drop Bear of the Outback (which regards a hideous disfigured drop bear that's threatening a small town, whilst greatly enarmoured with the town's greatest beauty and wifelife expert); the movie Interview with the Drop Bear, The Dumpshock Drop-Bear Picture Show....

[Grinder]

Welcome, new Brother. :)

Good for we didn't place a bet. DPC always wins.

[Tattered~Seraphi...]

*Grins and cackles gleefully, huming the Drop Bear Imperial March*

Agenda on how to take over the world check-list:

*Become a vampire (work in progress)
*Acquire a Drop Bear army to aid in taking over the world- check
*Become the Queen of the Damned
*Kill off a large majority of the world's population, using drop bear minions as troops, and take over the world. Cars will be disposed of and stargate travel will be possible, and people will live in a world that is a mixture of past and future (a la Vampire Hunter D). Thus Drop Bears will be able to populate other planets, helping me to become the Universal Empress. -currently working on it by studying physics to a suitable level.

Muwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ooopps...... did I say that all aloud? *Looks innocent*

[Ophis]

Sorry T~S but ALW is a marked man.
With Drop Bears! We will take the West End by storm, and conquer Broadway. We have moved into serious rehearsals. I expect my first star hissy fit any momment know. ALW stands in our way and is clearly a Fraggle, he is the enemy.
