“They’ll roll over Australia like a black and white tidal wave!”

They taste like alligator. 1000 South Louisiana Coon Asses wait patiently on the shore of South Australia. This is not a problem, it is a feast.

Sea leopards eat penguins.

So do killer whales.

Sharks may.

“March of the Penguins” is one of my favorites documentaries/movies. It really is a must watch.

This only points out how the ‘we know everything’ crowd, who thinks they should be in charge of everyone else’s life, really do not have the slightest idea of what they are talking about.

My God.

You ate Australians.

Probably drank an Australian Shiraz while you scarfed them down.

The horror.....the horror.

And yet, we supposedly know the world is going to melt down unless we tax ourselves to death. Because th science is settled.

Slow news day at CNN or covering something else up? This discovery was made in December of 2015!

They were probably there in order to avoid those annoying, intrusive scientists.

Now that’s ruined.
