Poll: Do you think Aussies ride Kangaroos?

[icyneesan]

If Yathzee doesn't ride a Kangaroo I will be crushed.

 

[ryai458]

Umm, no of course not.

 

[Lieju]

I can't really imagine that in the history of Australia no bloke has ever said to their mates "You know what? Those jumping things? How much will you pay me if I try to ride one?", so yes, I'm sure some have tried it, maybe even succesfully.

They are extremely dangerous animals for one; I believe a kick to the head can kill a person. If you have ever seen them fight, you would know what I mean. I go to this caravan park where hundreds of them just hop around; tame as. But still, I wouldn't approach one.

I never said it would be a bright idea, or that riding one would be practical or comfortable.

Pretty sure Australians ride Kangaroos

Their guns also fire boomerangs as opposed to bullets

That would make for a pretty shitty weapon. "Bang! Got y- Oh god, it's coming back!"

That's why you catch it. Then you can fire it again.
It saves ammo.

Speaking as a brit, I can tell all of you old chaps that those former colonies do indeed ride kangaroos, similar to our own Pigeon Air Force and Bulldog regiment. Now I am off for Tea and Crumpets, old chaps.

 

[BarskeLars]

I have never seen an aussie not riding a kangaroo, so they must do it all the time. (Have seen them on tv without a kangaroo, but thats just cgi.)

 

[Ampersand]

no one actually thinks that.

 

[Atmos Duality]

I wasn't even aware of this stereotype until now.

 

[Kingsman]

In more ways than one.

 

[Lizardon]

Even people in Australia think we ride kangaroos. I live on a farm, and people I've talked to in the city, only 3 hours away, genuinely though we ride kangaroos in the country, as well as having no power or internet. *sigh*

 

[Udyrfrykte]

I do believe they do.
In Norway polar bears happen to enter the cities from time to time.

 

[curintedery]

What? You think we have cars? Pfft... silly americans. Kangaroo travel is the only way to go.

 

[Wharrgarble]

Of course you ride Kangaroos! It's the same reason Americans ride buffalo around. Not quite as exciting, but we certainly have to get from point A to point B!

 

[imnot]

I voted yes just because.

 

[beema]

I don't think this would qualify as a "prejudice" as I don't think anyone holds it against Australians if they did ride Kangaroos.

I voted yes just because it's hilarious.

I also assume all Australians look/act like Paul Hogan and are constantly drinking Fosters and throwing knives at stuff.

 

[scorptatious]

I don't see why not. My chihuahuas take me to college via sled here in California.

 

[Gladion]

I suppose they do, but just because if I was living there, I would. Oh what a happy place...

 

[jackpipsam]

lol nice photoshoped pic there... oh and no we don't

 

[Zacharious-khan]

sounds legit to me...

 

[SilentCom]

The picture is photoshopped and the concept a little absurd. It would be pretty cool however if they all decided to do so one day. It could be a national holiday- Ride a Kangeroo Day.
