Article in today's paper entitled

Man's clothes shredded in Kangaroo attack.

It then proceeded to describe how a large kangaroo broke into a bloke's bedroom and attacked him shredding his jim jams.

Now why did this make me think of Clarky ?

I also like how the guy thought at first 'It was a crazed Ninja'!

LOL! Much more likely than a kangaroo afterall.

Perhaps it was looking for Clarky? Clarky, did you give that 'roo a fake address?
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Happens all the time in these parts and I can understand how he mistook it for a crazed ninja, that happens all the time also

I would have given anything to be there with a camera, watching some guy put a roo in a head lock and wrestle it in just your undies, "priceless"

Been there done that

I wish I had been there when you did that fight. It would have been priceless.

I have to ask my friend if he had a fight with a crazy roo as too (he lives in Australia) Once he said he went with his wife camping; they put up a tent, found some wild fruits in the forest - so they pick a basket of them and went back to the tent. After short time they heard some noises outside and found a kangaroo eating the fruits from the basket He should have a camera...
Kind regards,
