Poll: Do you think Aussies ride Kangaroos?

[darth.pixie]

Of course not.

I believe they have impromptu boxing matches though...

I was under the impression that the only person badass enough to ride a kangaroo is Saxton Hale.

Him and Steve Irwin are the definition of Australian manliness. RIP Steve.

Since we ride polar bears in Poland, probably they do ride their Kangaroos.

...just kidding, of course. But it would be awesome nonetheless.

 

[ThisIsSnake]

Yes they do, they need them to counter the legendary New Zealand Sheep Cavalry. It's the same as Americans riding overweight eagles.

 

[Creator002]

I firmly believe all Australians ride kangaroos. It just seems to fit.

 

[Brownie101]

Where's the "I wish we did" option?

 

[The_Healer]

as an australian i would just like to say... i can't believe you actually have to ask this question.

I agree.

Seriously, why the hell can't people just accept that we use giant hopping marsupials as our primary means of transport?

You would think it would just be a generally accepted fact by now.

 

[Sonicron]

How could they not? Convenient as it is over there, it'd simply be stupid not to ride kangaroos in Australia.

Now excuse me, I need to put on my lederhosen and meet some business associates for lunch (bratwurst and sauerkraut, of course).

 

[CaptainHook69]

I would if I lived in Australia so I can't imagine why Australians wouldn't want to either.

ahahaha I'd almost pay for to come over so I can watch u get your arse kicked by a roo.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

im australian. of course we do! also im battling 8 deadly creatures off as i type this.

 

[Alexnader]

RIDE KANGAROOS??? Hah, as an Aussie I can assure you that's ridiculous. We use them to draw carts which transport precious things like school children and beer.

 

[Ogargd]

I'm Aussie I think I know what i ride

 

[Thaluikhain]

so they don't punch you in the face and break all your bones?

The "boxing kangaroo" thing is a myth. They are trying to grab you with their front legs, and then jump up and kick you in the guts with their hind legs. They can kick hard enough to smash bones, and their feet are clawed, they could eviscerate a victim.

Unfortunately, there's no worldwide sport for that, so they got lumped in with boxers.

Modern kangaroos aren't big enough to ride, all the big (3 metre tall) ones were killed off when humans turned up.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Well, now that you mention it I have thought about it, and I think it may be true that it is a 100% fact.

 

[Hellz_Barz]

why are you letting foreigners in on our joke? Also mind the drop bears when yas come down.

 

[GestaltEsper]

I'm sure someone's tried it for one reason or another (drunk, dare, thought it'd be cool, etc...).

 

[warprincenataku]

Actually they ride in the pouches, but you were close enough.

HOLY CUPCAKES! 3 meters?
bouncing!?

 

[rabidmidget]

Of course we do, how else would we outrun those Shelob sized spiders?

 

[Isaac The Grape]

Yeah, we do. Here in Canberra all the Kangaroo's are owned by Lebanese gangs, though the Croats and the Serbs have been moving in on the market, it's a shame to see all the traditional owners (Bogans) getting pushed out of their Kangaroo rackets.
