Kangaroo

[jimbob2002]

A mate told me this story the other night of an event that happened whilst he was travelling in Australia.

Him and a bunch of lads are driving along a dusty road in the middle of nowhere in australia, when a kangaroo hops out in front of them.
Without enough time to brake, they hit the Kangaroo knocking it into the air.

They got out and inspected the kangaroo, it appeared to be dead.
Fucking hell they thought, we've killed a Roo.

One of the lads suggested they take some photos of it, for a laugh they stand the kangaroo up and support it with their arms and have photos taken with the Kangaroo.

Getting even more boisterous, they stuck some sunglasses on it and then one lad, a Chelsea fan took off his chelsea shirt and put it on the Kangaroo, to get a photo of the Kangaroo wearing the top.

All of a sudden the Kangaroo re-gains concsiousness, it wasnt dead it was just knocked out.
It barges its way past the lads, and hops off at a fair pace into the outback.

Unless the fucker died later of its injuries, there will have been a Kangaroo hopping around potentially for years in a Chelsea shirt.

Imagine if Steve Irwin saw it, he'd probably think it was a new species of Kangaroo.

this story however could be absolute bollocks or even an urban myth

Is that not what happens in movie Kangaroo Jack, except its a jacket (with $50,000 dollars in pocket) and not a Chelsea Top. So unless your mate's that lad who used to be in the TV show Sliders or Anthony Anderson then he's making it up/stealing the story.

I'm wondering if jimbob stuck up another 'urban myth' story to compete with the other urban legend thread in a sarcastic sort of way

Its doesn't even qualify as an Urban Myth ... its a freakin movie plot. :|

Although my mate Luke was telling me just last week how he blew up a huge space station called "The Death Star" and it turned out it was run by his Dad, who then chopped off his hand (not very fatherly). Luckily the droids at his local hospital were able to fit a robotic hand. Now he's got a bit of a Michael Jackson one glove thing going on. He's gonna beat up his dad's mate (The Emperor) cos he's a bit miffed cos it was all his idea. :whistle

Calm down dude!

similar stories trace back to the 80's, the film was made from the idea that is the urban myth:

Sightings: This legend was used as the basis for a Gore-Tex commercial (viewable below), and the 2002 movie Kangaroo Jack.

I am calm ... I find the whole thing quite humerous.
