Green and Maddy - so funny! I'm originally from West Virginia. Let Galactor or Spectra land there and learn the true meaning of 'Deliverance' (although the movie actually took place in Georgia).

:pushes Madilyn out: You've already started - you have a list! That's practically a planned fic, right there!

I, on the other hand, would have to actually think of an idea and then that would require research and maps and stuff...

Actually to let you both off the hook .... I was thinking UW was referring to Becky and her West Virginia plot. But that was just me, maybe not what she had intended or what the rest of the board was thinking.




And since you mention it Maddy .... can I be the first in line with the big stick, a few Shuriken and maybe a yoyo to get you going on that Generations Fic? Either that or Bruise. Wink

For the pair of you.

What is a 'drop bear'? I take it that it lives in trees and has claws.

BTW: on tvtropes dot org, under the heading 'Everything Trying to Kill You', under 'Real Life' (in examples of the trope), is -- AUSTRALIA. And a lot of Aussie tropers weighing in with their knowledge of the local wildlife.

Aussie goon to fellow goons: 'We stay inside at all times, mates.'

Fellow goons respond with variations of 'Why?' and 'What could hurt us in here?'

Bull ants attack. (This is where Katse gets the idea for 'A Swarm of Robot Ants.')

It all goes downhill for them from there.


Goon from West Virginia: "Stay in the mecha, y'all."

Other goons respond with version of, "Oh, come on! Don't try to spook us with nonsense!" (They think the redneck reputation of WV is overblown.)

Three hours later...

Someone in WV has a bitchin' new monster truck!

A drop bear is a relative of the Koala. They look exactly lika Koala's, but have come up with their own technique of protecting their trees and families.

Drop bears have developed a unique technique where they sit in their gum trees, looking cuddly and innocent. When the unsuspecting animal/human comes along and stands under their tree, the drop bears turn themselves into furry cannonballs and drop from their high branches onto the heads of those below.

The weight and force of the drop bear usually results in the dropee being stunned and collapsing to the ground. The drop bear then grunts and re-climbs the tree to lie in wait for their next victim.

It has been found that Australian victims of the drop bears can be revived with copious quantites of Australian beer, under the influence of which they can recall in minute detail their encounter and feel the urge to relate this to all and sundry.

For some reason, however, the beer revival does not work on foreign tourists, and they remain forever in denial about their attack by a drop bear.

Cloud - I have started chapter 10 of Generations - which is from the point of view of Chris and Vivian. As for Bruise - anybody would think you people want Bird-Smut! 3some

OMG!!! That's hysterical. I was thinking something like-

WV guy - Paw, what are we gonna do with these green guys?

Paw - Give 'em to your sisters. They need some new toys.

Well, I didn't want to offend with a stereotype.

Of course, someone still gets a bitchin' new monster truck. It used to be a mecha. Heh. (Imagine reaction of ISO personnel when a truck full of WV guys, with a Galactor logo, drives by.)

And they tell the team as it arrives 'No problem. We took care of the trash.'

Wow. That's hot. It hasn't gotten that hot in the DC area for a few years.

We got those warnings too, TJ.

It's funny to me how many of you have responded to this thread. For us these creepy crawlies are just part of the landscape that we grew up being aware of. Don't touch spiders, leave snakes alone, listen out for shark warnings when swimming... It's just the same to me as don't pat unknown dogs and don't take lollies from strangers. It's what you're used to, I guess.

This thread seems to the perfect place for this...


It's time to fire up the barbie, get out the prawns and pop the tops off various brands of beer!

May your steaks be grilled to prefection, the potato salad fly free, the beer cold and old uncle Henry asleep before he starts on about 'kids in my day...'

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to all native, ex-pat and adopted Aussie Gatchamaniacs!
