So, yeah. Probably most of you ain't gonna believe this, and I can't say I blame you because it pretty much defies belief.
Anyways, the Old Man was in the wood walking with his lab, Lily, and all of a sudden she comes blasting out of the bushes being chased by an emu.
No, that's not a typo. And no, we don't live in Australia. We live in South Carolina.
So the dog runs straight to him, the emu in hot pursuit. So like any thinking individual would do when faced by an angry animal capable of kicking your head off, he quite reasonably hauled ass.
No, we are not mistaken. It was, in fact, an emu. My cousin, who is a professional wildlife photographer, took a pic of it while it was strutting around my parent's yard. (it chased Dad home).
Turns out the woman down the road who keeps exotic birds had an emu escape. and the Animal Control dude that showed up was not amused. Evidently he has literally been down this road before and actually had equipment to corral the thing. He read her the riot act.
My sister is convinced the family property is located in some sort of Vortex of Weird. I'm inclined to agree.
Here's a pic my cousin took:
