Discussion: Rogue Emu Causes School Lockdowns During 2 Months On The Run

I’d take the agent. I can get tranquilized whenever I feel the need.

Saw an emu head up the elevator with ten bucks in his beak
Goin’ thru Fox News studios on the Avenue of the Americas
He was looking for the set where they used to do the Fox Report
Going to take a spinbreak on BillO’s show
Ahhh oooh emu’s off 6th Street

If you see him being interviewed on Hannity’s show
Better not tune him in
Rightwing radicals are really rough on reality
Emu’s out of Delaware again
Ahh oooh emu’s headed down Shellpot Creek

He’s a flat aspect sleepy-eyed blade, crazy I’m afraid
Lately he’s been overheard in presidential punditry
Better stay away from Ben
He could try to stab again
There’s no doubt he’s got a fatal case of fundy
Ahhh oooh emu’s jumpin’ off Fox Point Park

I saw Donald Trump standing next to Miss America
Pretending to dis the emu of Brandywine Zoo
Then I saw Donald Trump head out for a bite
Waving a red hat about like shooin’ off emus
Then I saw that werewolf eating pizza with a fork
His hair was … truly bizarre
Ahhh oooh emu’s out of Wilmington again

An ostrich can do that. An emu is a totally different bird and doesn’t have the evolutionary background of having to deal with lions. Their worst enemy was a kangaroo:)

That will make a great story to tell at the Thanksgiving table.

In my experience, emus are pretty friendly. Wouldn’t want to generalize overhastily, of course.

Well, there are a lot of folks who raise emu as a meat animal, so perhaps they can have a damn big dinner too!

to show an armadillo how it’s done.

Meh.

Emus are not very closely related to ostriches and unless you corner or molest an emu, it’s not going to bother you. They swiftly flee from humans.

I don’t know about friendly, but they certainly are not threatening. So there’s my generalization. :sunglasses:

To paraphrase Hudson and Landry: “If you ever trap an emu in a cave and his eyes go red, leave him trapped.”
