Between the sound of his Galant and his homemade cat deterants I bet his neighbors have had enough of him.

Watched this at home.... ahhhhh yes. Definitely my favourite youtube posted video on here. I think the wallabies are dressing up as dogs and confusing me..... this may be the problem.kcpoole wrote:Great Story Roryhahah

Chilli powder might be ok but wonder if an ultrasonic cat scarer would work?

That is an interesting product, I am at the point where I will try anything, so may also give this a whirl, cheers.Redsonic wrote:My neighbour is using "Scat" with some success to keep the possums off his herbs:

Re: Correction to Wikipedia
If you haven't seen Ghostbusters, you are not worthy!
The conversation as played out last night, or near enough:
Wife: Rory! What are you doing? Why are you wearing that?
Rory Veinkman: (steps out wearing Ghostbuster outfit).. Who ya gonna call?
Wife: A real handyman?
Rory Veinkman: Step aside wench. This is a job for Rory Veinkman! That's right boys! Rory Veinkman's here! .... (Screeches intermittently and beats a stick around the backyard)
Wife: Why are you making those stupid noises? Wow, and are you sure you know how to use that 'stick' properly....haha, moron!
Rory Veinkman: They hate this! I like to tease them! C'mon Possums! C'mon Wallabies! Rory Veinkmans here! Uh, wife, are the possums on heat at the moment?
Wife: What has that got to do with it?
Rory Veinkman: Back off man! I'm a bonsai specialist.
Wife: You're an idiot. Just call an exterminator!
Rory Veinkman: I need the Gatekeeper! (repairs gate)... I need the keymaster! (locks the back gate). (turns to wife, in a sleezy Bill Murray accent)... I know what you need! You need me! I'll show you! I'll prooove myself to you!
Wife: No, no, that's quite all right. You are sooo odd!
Rory Veinkman: Ahhh! Yes, you're going to say "I wonder what makes him tick" "Rory Veinkman is a man who gets things done"
Wife: Well, you can start by painting the front of the house
Rory Veinkman: (Ignores previous comment) (sees possum)... There he is! He's looking at me
Wife: He's an ugly little spud isn't he. He's got one massive fat ass!
Rory Veinkman: Wife, I think he can hear you!... .. (Throws stick at the possum)
Wife: OMG! What happened?
Rory Veinkman: He pissed me! (covered in spots of possum wee
Bowie: Coughs! Wow, Daddy! I collect mould, asthma and fungus. VENTILATE THE HOUSE u bum! I don't want asthma from this house!
Rory Veinkman: Back off family, I'm a god! I'm saving our trees!
Bowie: Are you a god?
Rory Veinkman: No, not really! I can't back that up!
Possum: Then.... psssssssss!
... well, that's sort of how it went last night anyway.
I have come up with either a certifiably brilliant idea, or possibly a certifiably stupid idea. The solution to my problem was growing right in front of me.
I have acquired 20 more largish Casuarina from the awesome guys at BONSAI WORLD in Jilliby. And 10 more trees from Kuringai Council Nursery. Now, the fat assed hairy possum farts and the cute little sacks of wallaby fuzzballs are outnumbered. They have so much food to munch on, that by the time they come back every few nights, there is so much foliage that they don't attack the same tree twice. I have managed to garner a solution to my predicament. It is leaving ample time for the eaten tree to recover. (insert cool Heath Ledger as Joker laugh).... hmmm... or as my son Bowie says, I'm more like Jim Carrey from Ace Ventura...."Mwuahaha. mwuahahah".
All hail lord Rory Veinkman. Verminator!
If there's something strange, in your neighbours yard...Who you gonna call? More trees!
If there's something weird, and its fat and furry...Who you gonna call? Stick throwers!
I aint afraid of no poss
I aint afraid of no wallby
If you're seeing things running through your yard....ow...Who you gonna call? A middle aged father!
An invisible muncher... running through your trees....ow...Who you gonna call? ...Probably a psyhciatrist
If ya all alone, pick up the hose, and spray.... Vermin rangers!

Yeah, we've already got 2 dogs that I adore, so even though they are scared of flies / cats / possums / pretty much anything except us, I can't get a big dog. Luckily however, at least I'll have more trees, and need more pots.regwac wrote:Large , mean dog is the answer ! Just remember swamp wallabies are a protected species , bu don't tell the dog .

Re: Correction to Wikipedia
Rory,
A couple of questions. Do you have neighbours and are they aquainted with who lives next door? Did they film it? (especially the part about the screeching and the backyard stick beating)
