den...Someone says "I wouldn't mind visiting the Australia Zoo, except for the FUCKHEAD running it."
...The babies are small, cute, and have tails.
...Someone says "Don't use that milk in the coffee! It's for the joey."
...or "Come on kids! Back in your pouch."
...or "It was only a king-brown snake, no big deal. I picked it up and put it in the bag and the people were disappointed that there was no hissing and thrashing and Crikey!"
...or "I hear you've been doing a lot of euthanasia, Dr Kevorkian." "Yeah.... um... Don't ask what's in the mince patties."
...The discussion turns to "Ether or Chloroform? Which is better?"
...You take sausages, and return with a galah

Serious question...
Date: 16 Dec 2002 00:20 (UTC)1. A loud-mouth.
2. A hyperactive maniac on crack.
3. A glory-and-camera hogging hambone.
4. DEFINITELY an male chauvanist pig. (I always hear him use the term "sheila" when refering to a female of any species, but he always calls the male a "male", not a "bloke", so you can't call it language colloquialism. And Terri? *chuckles* One of these days, Steve is gonna get a 2x4 to his head. American women will only tolerate that kind of crap for so long.)
But outside of that, I have to say that he appears to be doing a LOT of excellent work in the advancement of endangered species research and habitat restoration, just to name a few good things.
And from what I've seen, he genuinely loves *all* creatures and actively promotes protection of the non-glamourous species, and even the downright OOGLY ones too.
So at the risk of catching a paw to the side of my head...
What's up with the ire towards Steve Irwin?
Re: Serious question...
