This emu

A few days ago an emu got loose in the next county over, and took a bit of a tour around a residential area. From the newspaper article:

Lunko wasn’t exactly frightened of the big bird, about the size of a pre-teen child – they can weigh as much as 80 pounds – but he was being cautious. “I didn’t know what he was going to do,” Lunko said. “I was a bit nervous. I didn’t want to startle the thing. I didn’t feel threatened by it. But I didn’t want to make any sudden movements.”

The bird crossed Lewisberry Road, where another neighbor had dogs out in the yard, kept penned in by an invisible fence. The bird lunged at the dogs, causing them to scramble onto the porch, where they stayed while the bird wandered around the yard, Willders said. “The dogs were petrified. It was pretty amusing.”

What tickles me the most about this story is the photo the newspaper used; uncredited, it was probably taken by a confused neighbor:

I mean…

JUST LOOK AT THAT FUCKIT STRUT

LOOK AT THOSE EYES TO THE SKY NO CARES IN THE WORLD
