SNAKES in Myers!!!!!

Snakes in Myers

LOOK what those demented despots at Qantas have done now.

There they were thinking it was all terribly funny and amusing to go throwing thousands of snakes at us from the skies and now look at what’s happened. Lonsdale St is infested with black snakes.

And where is the public outrage? Where are the blogs and the protest marches and the outraged segments on Today Tonight? Is everybody really too busy moaning about swine flu to notice that there are snakes in Myers? IN MYERS?!?!? It’s like being unexpectedly eviscerated by a tiny helpless kitten!! How can there be snakes in MYERS??? That’s where you go to try on boots and perfume, not where you go to be attacked by marauding hordes of wild black snakes.

And people are LAUGHING about this!! How is that funny?? Children, poor wee innocent babies, go there, how is it funny that Qantas and Meyers are sicking deadly snakes onto them? What kind of twisted lunatic would find that FUNNY????

And you wanna know what they’re doing about it, coz goddamit I do!!! According to The Age they’re sending A snake handler in to find it. A snake handler, implying that there is only ONE guy and his bare hands sent in to handle this!! What the FUCK??? Black snakes are infesting Myers, dropping thousands of their venomous snakes eggs god only knows where and they send in ONE unarmed man to fix it. It’s like the first sign of the apocalypse and they send one bloke and a net to put a stop to it.

I’m so angry, and not just with my idiotically giggling husband (misuse of apostrophes will get him gibbering with rage, but the end of the world is nigh and all he does is GIGGLE??? How did I come to marry this man?????).

We need to call in the army or create a civilian militia with hazmat suits and HUGE big shotguns to put a stop to this before it gets completely out of control.

However, it is officially no longer my problem, I have to go now and pack up all my shit because I am going to light a candle for St Patrick move to Ireland this afternoon. And NO, I am NOT flying fucking Qantas.
