AHH, the notorious Tasmanian Devil,
For some reason I thought the evil beastie looked more like this

On the serious side I have to agree with TAB on this, in fact, I would be more surprised if it were not rabid.
Well tom he does normally but when pushed, poke or provoked the other side of me comes out LOL
There is another picture around that has 2 or three shells in the air at the same time, cant seem to find it now, from memory I was shooting from the hip.
Maybe this is the sort of thing the boy who screams like a girl could of used against that ferocious head warmer. hehe
