#1 I've seen camels out in the Oz desert. They are BIG suckers. Must be 20 foot tall.

#2 Easy solution, gize the ozzies their freaking guns back.

#3 BTW, "Feral Camel" would be an excellent name for a band.

#4 I'd like to do some camel hunting, in Australia or Iraq - no matter which.

#5 Surely there must be some old .303 jungle carbines lying about.

#7 I'd like to see PETA against one of the eco-nazi groups on this one. Much like the whitetail deer article the other day, these animals are destroying "natural habitat" and I, for one, would like to see those groups duke it out for once!

#8 I remember reading a NatGeo article on a woman who crossed Oz by camel. The only danger she faced (and was armed with a shotgun for) was from other camels. She had to dispatch at least one of them. Mean, smelly, ornery, horny beasts, those wild camels.

Me... I'd rather be hunting for Camel Toe! That would also be a good band name. Better yet, Feral Camel Toe!

#11 I like my toe cleaned up, thankyouverymuch. Feral conjures up really bad images...like waking up with somebody nasty after a night out drinking

#13 Ah, that's Coyote Ugly, I do believe.

Note my restraint. Camel toe mentioned by the Sheikh and I did not post any suggestive pix. [See Doc, I'm getting better, heh] Now if I could just control this eye-tic that makes it look like I'm winking 3/second...

#14 I'm sooooo proud of you, PD! LOL
