It's funny that I was thinking about this the other day and then this appeared on the radio:

Love-Struck Kangaroo Hunts Aussie Women

A frisky kangaroo has caused mayhem after stalking women in an area known as the Honeymoon Ranges in northern Australia.

Female residents in the isolated town of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory have complained that the animal has been lurking and making its intentions vey clear.

The Northern Territory News, which more often makes headlines by reporting on the sexual antics of its human population, gave the problem front page attention under the headline "Horny Roo Stalks NT Women".

It quoted one witness saying: "I turned around and saw this big kangaroo behind me, so I hastened my steps.

"It seemed a bit odd, but I continued walking and didn't think much about it. Then on the return walk he was there waiting for me," she said.

"He started circling me. There was no doubt about what he wanted, the randy old thing - it was a huge kangaroo and quite intimidating."

Male red kangaroos can grow over six feet tall and weigh 200 pounds, and can cause serious injury or death if they attack.

The kangaroo was described by the newspaper as a "jolly jumper", and made his amorous intentions clear.

She added: "I yelled at him to go away, waved my hands about and let him know I wasn't interested, but he was persistent - I'll give him that."

It also bounded into a local speedway race meeting in the town, which is located about 500 miles south of Darwin.

Tanya Wilson said: "I thought it was strange that a kangaroo would come to such a noisy place, but I grew up around kangaroos so I went up to say hello.

"There I was having a nice chat to him when I heard others calling out to me, warning me to step away," the mum-of-three said.

She added: "I didn't take any notice of them because I didn't think I had anything to worry about - I thought he was just a cute, friendly kangaroo."

But other speedway fans could tell what the roo wanted and the newspaper reported that one man tried to intervene and was punched in the face by the animal before it hopped off.

It brought me back to what I was thinking. Is it possible that a man or woman and an animal could live togther in blissful harmony in a house. We need to remember that before the advent of clothes, cars, teachers and the internet, we were all like animals, probably just growling and mating ad hoc. Then all those things came along and we stood up staright and got jobs and the law arrived.

There's no reason not to think that a bear or horse is just a wee bit behind us as Orwell thought.

I quite like the idea of marrying a bear and having breakfast together in Paris or anywhere. Does anyone think this can happen?

A bear in a gay world, is a big hairy man. Did you know that?

I remember watching a Jerry Springer episode where these loops came on declaring love for animals etc

One cadet declared his undying love for his donkey, cue Jerry rolling out a US minister who promptly married the 2 of them, a wee bouquet of flowers, confetti the lot

the crowd was going nuts, the guy was welling up and then they got packed off on their honeymoon

it's probably on youtube somewhere

From BBC News, very funny!

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat 
 
A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, of Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

Kevin Smith told me. Not sure why. Do you think he might have been hinting at something? He's big and hairy.

Who is Kevin Smith? A neighbour? Is he married?

Who is Kevin Smith? A neighbour? Is he married?

A comic book writer, film actor, director and writer. Yes he's married, Jen's lovely.

Olly asked

Why did Kevin Smith have to explain that to you? At the risk of setting myself up for ridicule - I thought that was pretty common knowledge.

I guess because I lived a sheltered life. He was talking about being a Bear icon in the gay world, so I was just asking what a bear was.
