I don’t want to go aall Jerry Seinfeld here but, seriously, what is the deal with all these fucking snakes? It feels like 2017 is so far travelling along at a rate of a one horrifying snake yarn per day, for iinstance: the snake sucking down a whole wallaby like it was a largish mint, or the video of the eastern brown snake slurp-slurp-slurping down a carpet python like it was a killer python (the lolly, not the snake).
We all understand that Australia is largely populated by animals that will either slither at you and kill you or crawl at you and kill you, but it gets to a point when the snake yarns become too wild, too extreme. What’s next? A red-bellied black snake popping up on the windshield of someone travelling at 100 km/h? Yes, actually, that’s exactly what’s next.
Sandy Grundy (great name) and her daughter Jessie were making the drive from Adelaide to Mundoo Island when the terrifying bastard / delightful snake friend decided to pop its head up and say “MURDER TIME MOTHERFUCKERS” / “Hello 🙂“.
I’m no snake scientist, so I couldn’t tell you if a snake’s fear of travelling on the hood of a car going faster than it can possibly imagine would overpower its deep and incessant lust for human blood, but either way I’d still be a bit perturbed to see that beady-eyed murder-worm rear its mug just above my wipers.
Sandy was also a bit surprised:
“Driving from Adelaide to Mundoo Island Station, 100km/h, with an hour still to drive, a snake popped up in front of me from under my bonnet. It scared the living daylights out of me!“He stayed with us all the way and could not be coaxed out of the engine well. I have left my car in the middle of a paddock and hope that he finds his way out tonight. He is a big red-bellied black snake.“Petrified would sum up my nervous state for the hour I had to drive. I was hopeful that new cars don’t have any gaps that a snake could move from the engine well into the internal section of the car!”
Good on that snake for giving it a bloody go. Have a watch:
