thought it was a bird. Tonight I will use sharp chedder cheese in the
rat traps and hope I get em.

Nothing worse than a rat jumping on-board.

Ill take the trash to the dumpster, arm all traps,load the 22 rifle
with a scope and rat shot, put out posion and listen for that pitter
patter of little feet on the deck.

What do you do to prevent rats from boarding?

Live in Australia.

Yeah right http://www.doaustralia.com/Readersto...an2001/WA2.jpg

sailor names the island it means rat nest.



What do you do at anchor to prevent boarders from killing you and
taking your boat?

See above.


Yall seem pretty safe in OZ land but you better not go to Indonesian
waters.

ROFLMAO. Hey, Joe, did you *really* think those Disney cartoons were
about real animals?

You remind me of the story about the Texan in Queensland who was
boasting that his property was so big, he had to feed an entire steer
to his hands each dinner time. He shut up real fast when an Aussie
walked into the pub and said he'd just put a thousand head into the
curry.

IOW, he was pig-ignorant about Australia, too.

BTW, Joe, I've got bigger 'rats' than those on Rottnest Island living
on my front lawn here in Tasmania and on my NSW property, they grow 6'
tall, travel in packs and have been known to wreck cars & kill drivers.
That's why we still carry guns in the country.

Over here, too... although they're usually not on my front lawn.
Actually a lot of time you see them riding around in SUVs.

I thought your govt took away your guns. Guess you farmers are exempt.
Can you carry a pistol? And your 6 foot rats, do you toss em on the
barby mate?

And do you have any of those Tasmania Devils rooten on your ranch? I
saw a film of Tasmania Devils having sex on the animal channel the
other night. Seems like it would wake up the whole neighborhood it was
very violent. And BTW the largest working Ranch in the world is here
in Texas, it's the King ranch.

Nope, only took some of them and only got some of those they tried to
take. Mainly rubbish that people cashed in on, big-time. I wish they'd
have another buy-back so I could unload more stuff I don't want any
more.

Guess you farmers are exempt.

Pretty much.

Yep.

Nah, we save that for raw prawns.

None on my place but they're aggro little *******s, that's for sure.

And BTW the largest working Ranch in the world is here

How many hectares? Sorry, I doubt you understand the metric system, how
many acres or square miles?

Now Katy, do not be jelious. I know most you catholics think of sex
as a violent dirty act because of all the child molesters in your
churches, but it can be a fun and loving enjoyable activity between 2
consenting people without violence.

Just because your view, like most catholics is so tainted, does not
make it that way for everyone. Perhaps you should seek counceling with
the 1000's of other children that were so violently abused by your
religious leaders.

Not jealous at all...I saw the same program (BTWm it was Crocodile =
Hunter). And they definitely called those little boogers Joe and =
Terry....the other two males that ran Joe around the enclosure and =
dragged his sorry butt around were definitely called Horvath and =
Bobspit.

Looks like they would make cool pets.

Sounds like a henweigh.

Sorry, I doubt you understand the metric system,

Dont apoligise, Why would anyone want to learn that jap system. It
makes no sence.

how
many acres or square miles?

830,000 acres 60,000 head of cattle 1000's of other types of wild
game. They work most the cattle with helocopters ultralights
motorcycles and horseback.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. It's a French system originally and now used by
every 1st World country except the USA. Didn't you ever learn anything
in school? Or contrariwise, didn't the school you went to bother to
teach anything about the world outside the USA?

830,000 acres 60,000 head of cattle 1000's of other types of wild

Sorry but it isn't the biggest by far. 830,000 acres is 336,032
hectares. That's only 3360 square kilometers or 1297 square miles.
There are a lot of properties in the Northern Territory and Western
Australia bigger than that. Guess that's another Texan claim that
doesn't stand close examination.

Just in case you ever want to extend your limited education. Pry open
that closed mind, Joe. It'll only hurt for a little while and the pain
will be worth it.
