Re: Australian Drop Bears
A lot of money though?
You don't have to buy a drop bear if you don't want to.
How to catch a haggis:
Haggis have two short legs on the right, two long legs on the left. This is to facilitate their life in the hills but but means they always walk clockwise around a hill to go up it.
On haggis hunt days, nets are placed out around the base of the hill. The beaters then "beat" in an anti-clockwise direction, causing the haggis to turn round. Owing to the leg length discrepancy they then fall over and roll down the hillside into the nets.

Re: Australian Drop Bears
I hate to correct you but in my inlaws family haggis are like sheep that have developed one leg shorter than the others so they can move around the hills they live on
And just because I believed my husband and family when they said the pink panther comes from Durham and Yorkshire tea grows on the slopes grows on the slopes of the Pennines DOES NOT MEAN I AM GULLIBLE
Mind you tea is now grown in Yorkshire so I was just a few years early

Have you heard they've taken the word 'gullible' out of the Oxford Dictionary?

Re: Australian Drop Bears
They are mutant koala bears with razor sharp vampire teeth that feed off human blood. They drop onto their prey when they pass underneath their tree.
