If #1 is a Cassowary, DAMNED right to be running for yer life... thing is as close to a real-life raptor from Jurassic Park... except with feathers. Had a guy gutted by one he was raising in St. Pete Florida last year? Big ole claws on the toes designed to gut the target, which is what that bird looks like its doing at the beginning of the clip....
Plenty of Emus around here and they're cool, unlike cassowarys who will try to kill you just for fun. Mind you an emu at a picnic would be a pain in the arse. They can be tamed fairly easily but become very food focussed and have no concept of personal space.
emu. cassowaries are smaller, have a crest on their heads, a blue neck, and a red wattle like a turkey.
emus aren't as bad as cassowaries, but they can get pretty nasty and they're stupid as hell. my cousin ran a farm and the local animal control guy would bring any loose farm animals to them for safekeeping. they'd then bill the owners for whatever medical bills and food was required, or if no one ever came for the animal it eventually became theirs.
well they brought her an emu once. she had to idea what to do with it. put it in the spare hog run, put up some higher electric fencing and figured good enough.
well the stupid fucker would peck the fence, get shocked and knocked on it's ass, and get up madder each time. finally the damn thing was charging the fence and almost killed itself running into it full speed. the owner finally was found and they said to put a feed bag over it's head the next time it gets knocked on it's ass and it'll calm right down. worked like a charm.
He probably emptied the good shit into a decanter(empty coke bottle), then filled that up with colored water to scam back the money he originally paid.
#10 - been there, done that. Back in the 60's I had a contract with Texaco to run up and down Florida fixing their rotating signs. The rotator assemblies were crap, so the company decided that instead of fixing them, we would just line them up with the street and weld the gears. It required some serious bending and blind welding, while at the top of a ladder.
#10 hey, I've done that but inside a pressure vessel preheated steel to 300 F and it passed QC. Access through a 14" manway. Sweat flashed to steam in my gloves. Not the hottest job however.

ReplyDeleteI think you're right. That bird looks like a Cassowary to me as well. The Cassowary is dangerous, aggressive, and has an evil temper.
DeleteSorry, not a Cassowary, it's an emu. The other Australian big flightless bird.
DeleteMichael in Nelson
They aren't any picnic either...
DeleteAll of those big flightless birds have wicked claws that can gut you like a fish and a bad attitude to go with it.

#10 I've been in better spots to weld.

DeleteSign me up for number #4.
ReplyDelete#7 - cool segue into scene 2 below.
ReplyDelete#9 - That is on the kid, you can't wave a string on a stick and expect a cat to just sit there, it is hard wired into their reflexes.
#5. Great Dane. One of nature's stupider critters.
ReplyDeleteYet a hundred times brighter than antifa and black LIES matter.

ReplyDelete#10 It's not funny, its painful. Being a pipe fitter is not for the meek.
ReplyDeleteWhen I give someone the bird, how can I let them know it's an emu?
