OT Why I am never visiting Oz even for free beer

I don't much care for beer any way, and this just about put me off for
life:

http://www.ntnews.news.com.au/common...e13569,00.html

The resulting extremely cautious search has resulted in my resolution
to never ever visit Austrailia ever.

NightMist The Batrachophobe

My sinuis infection has me all weak, fevered, and bored out of my
skull. Just sitting up is exhausting for any length of time. So I
have been spending way to much time online, and looking for any book
in the house that I haven't already read a thousand times.

ROTFL... that's one way to get rid of a pest.

ROFLMAO - this is a true Territorian attitude to solving the
problem of the cane toad!

These toads are a MAJOR environmental threat in northern
Australia, and they are rapidly spreading south. But only
in the Territory would they offer beer for toads. And to
truly understand this you need to appreciate the fact that
beer is practically currency in some parts of the Territory.

If you have seen Crocodile Dundee - well there are still
some parts of the Territory that almost fit that image. The
NT abounds in "characters".



Sorry you are not well NightMist. I am doped to the
eyeballs on antihistamines myself ATM. But don't write off
the Land Downunder completely. ;-)) Apart from the
crocodiles, snakes, cane toads, venomous spiders, flies that
really bite, very occasional tropical cyclones and the odd
brand of football many of us play, it is still a really
great place to visit. LOL

That's why I want to go there! I love crazy people in action. Cyndi

Why? I think it is a truly NT way of getting rid of a pest - and the cane
toads are a true pest. What is better giving them a humane ending at the
RSPCA, or turning them into wallets, keychains and the like (and yes I have
seen this)? Or having crazy QLD drivers squish them and turn them into
roadkill? Quite a rash statement based on one article, I feel but still
that is your opinion and you are entitled to it

You missed the batrachophobe part.

I am crazy in my unrelenting terror of froggish things. One time I
actually fell through a closed window in my haste to flee from a tree
one that a boy brought indoors.

The wee tiny local garden variety toad can send me screaming up a
wall. The idea of poisonous monster ones infesting a whole
country/continent is the very stuff of my worst nightmares.

But frogs have no shark teeth, no scorpion or bee stingers, no venomous
fangs, no ability to wrap around you and crush you, they don't chase you, no
painful bite, they can't kill you, hurt you, or leave a scar. they just
**** on your hands when you pick them up.
Do they scare you because they are ugly?

I am generally not afraid of scorpions, bees, or snakes that aren't
bigger than I am. I am not afraid of spiders, though I reckon the
bird eating variety would make me jump back a bit. Of course seeing
any one of the above mentioned things all unexpected makes a body
jump. Most squishy sorts of animals and buggy grubby kinds of things
just make me go ew ick.
I have no idea whatsoever why batrachian things send me screaming.
I can handle Kermit and his ilk, but the least bit of lifelikeness and
I run. Can't even do pictures.
