...Some people might take that as an enjoyable pastime, mind you. I guess it'll entirely depend on which States it's implemented in. 💡

Normally relatives of the 50-60 year range that enjoy sitting on a pub floor in a human train shape to cotton eye joe.....

Guy punches a kangaroo in the face

 

[m8h3r]

Saw that earlier. He doesn't pull back on that punch and the Kangaroo definitely felt it but stood strong.

 

[Carbonox]

I saw a version on reddit that cut off right after the punch. I assumed it was because the man would've had his ass handed to him immediately afterwards.

...I lean toward pro-gun but even I can tell that's not gonna go down well. Especially if the ref is blind or some such. Oh wait, maybe the lawmakers are thinking of this:

Spoiler: He's packing a serious gun in this photo. Really.

Old news, but in Australia's most popular sport, the umpires are sponsored by a company whose business is selling corrective eyewear.

Specsavers have sponsored Scottish referees for years.

This looks like some form of communication, but it either needs translating into English or we need to find a cryptographer (or both, of course).

I could translate.

"The gentleman punched the kangaroo with the song "Gangsta Gangsta" in the background. The kangaroo looked at the gentleman in utter shock, and barely let out the words: 'You what, mate?'"

It was a failed attempt at combining a thug life moment with a "u wot m9" moment.

Yeah, but in Australia, you sometimes find that everyone goes to to a stadium to criticise the referee and a football match breaks out.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

"You better watch out,
You better not cry;
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is raiding your drug stash."

 

[Grayfox]

There shouldnt be any on field refs in sporting matches.
They can be bias and if they make the wrong call.
Too Bad, So Sad.
Team that lost the match does not get compensated

Yeah, still not getting it. Everything after "combining" just looks like someone is throwing random words at a dyslexic game of Battleships...

That happens when you're not allowed within 100yd of them...

It confused me too, I was like what is "m9" then I was like oh he meant "m8".

M9 is a motorway in Scotland. As is M8. He is obviously asking a question of a road. It all makes sense now, don't it?

It's not in my nature to be mysterious, but I can't tell you and I can't tell you why I can't tell you.

Strange news story.

Austrian MPs vote in favour of a CPO on Hitler's birthplace. They don't want it to become a neo-nazi tourist destination so they'll most likely knock it down but critics of that move say that that is tantamount to ignoring Austria's past.

CPO = compulsory purchase order.

It's something to do with course maker then?

This sounds familiar. Quite familiar.

@Famine loves Battleship.

No, ignoring it would be to leave it up and not recognizing it as a building. They are actually honoring the fallen leader by making his house join him scattered on the earth.
