Bunyips real or myth
76
Before we go on an Epic journey with Sue to find his mongrel dad. (He's got to be a mongrel for calling the poor bugger Sue . Right ?) we will have a brief scientific study on whether Bunyips are real animals or a figment of some long ago forgetten souls imagination.
Yeah right , pigs arse to that. Lets get right down to it, Bunyips arn't real. Are they ?
The Bunyip
Bunyips are wierd creatures. Australian aborigines have told us of these beasts that are supposed to lurk in the billabongs,swamps, riverbeds and waterholes.
The name bunyip reputedely means 'devil' . They kill any animal or human that dares to come close.
But the bunyip's main prey is meant to be women, especially beautiful women. Their tender flesh is just right and any size or shape will do. The bunyip is not choosy. (Oh no this one is)
There was a rumor spread around that Bunyip's also ate children. After long and lengthy research it was discovered that this rumour was falsely started by some mean parents to make their children eat their greens at meal times.
" If you don't eat your greens the nasty Bunyip will come and eat you".
In 40,000 years there has not been one report of a Bunyip eating a single child !
Now I ask you,that has to hurt a guys reputation .
The other part of the rumor was when the dear little kiddies won't go to bed.
" Now you go to bed and stay there,because that nasty Bunyip is hiding under the bed and if you get out it will eat you all up."
How stupid is that even I know that its the "Boogy Man" under the bed.
So Kids you are as safe as a brick dunny with me around, you got a problem just remember who you gonna call.
"The Bunyip named Sue" ( here's my card , I charge by the hour. cheaper by the week)
Shapes and Sizes of Bunyips
It seems that Bunyips come in all shapes and sizes, with long tails or necks, wings, claws,horns, trunks,fur, scales,fins, and feathers. They appear to have the power to manifest themselves in any way.
It is reported that the Bunyip will kill their prey by hugging it to death.(Especially the beautiful women)
What a way to go.
Hey it works for the Bunyip !

Well, I was stoned so earnest was drunk. haha We have a huge swamp here and a really cool bog in another area close by. Bunyips are in both I'm told. It may have been the mushrooms that I licked too.
Bunyips? Sounds like something straight out of Harry Potter's Defence Against the Dark Arts class!
Amanda, it does sound like that!
Bunyip Sue, I know for sure that they exist. At least I'm pretty sure. I hop into bed with one every night, unknowingly, of course. During the day it's been known to attack when I'm not looking. I'm pretty sure they drool.
Bunyips, aren't they Pests?
earnestshub
Ha them Yowies mate we Bunyip wouldn't be seen dead in the same forest as them mongrel's. Bunch of sooks they are. Go round yellin all of the time. I wouldn't be surprised if me mongrel dad was a Yowie.
Mate you have to watch those magic mushrooms I'm surprised you did not have a bigger trip.
Bunyip? I heard a Yowie once in NSW they make a horrible sound. The hangover from the magic mushroom "Blue meenies" was horrible too.
Ah CC , we bunyips as you will see can take on many forms and can be quite amphibious when the need arises.
They also have a tendancy to be ephemeral, so you have to hold on to those memories of yore.
Amanda
You not what they say everything old is new again .
Anything that scares the crap out of people has to be good . right.
Gets the old heart pumping.
Better than sex ? In my opinion . No ! ;-)
(and you heard that straight from the mouth of a Bunyip)
Frieda Babbley says:14 hours ago
Amanda, it does sound like that! My dear babbley frieda, I take umbrage that you would think that the animal you go to bed with is a Bunyip. The true bunyip is not a drooler per se. He may drool just a bit after he has consumed his daily dose of beautiful women. On the other hand we do have a black sheep side of the family that is never spoken of in Bunyip.
On the other ,other hand you might be just too butt ugly for him to eat ? (no offence meant)
Having seen your avatar I would have no problem eating you myself.
cindy
yes cindy bunyips can be pests. but i'm not sure if our pest is a bunyip. You see our bunyip's are normally nocturnal creatures, and go around eating beautiful women, and generally creating havoc. Hmmmm you just may have a point!
Aha, the black sheep! That explains the baaa-baaa. I can't say as he snores, but he does baaa. And no offence taken.
Are they all male? If so, how do they reproduce?
Frieda nobody really knows how Bunyips reproduce. They are such wonderful creatures that they can just about do anything that my imagination allows them to.!
Now that you mention it I have often heard my pet Bunyip say to itself something like. "Did the earth move for you honey"?
My goodness...seems a lot of ppl have seen bunyips...I thought they were rather reclusive...guess I was wrong...oh well :) Possibly they just need the right ppl to associate with lol
Enelle its all in the mind you see, you see, Its all in the mind.
You only have to believe and think me and I will be there.
Any shape or form that you desire. But beware , you must be carefull what you wish for. LOL
Do you make crop circles?
Hm now let me think, that is a very loaded question. Just like that, and we have only just met. (I wonder how she could possibly have known.)
Answer:- To which crop circles do you refer, dear lady ?
Very interesting stat. At the moment 86% of people have seen a member of the Bunyip tribe. Hmmmmm?
Either your tribe is very prolific, indiscriminate, or gregariously social, or we are a bunch of drunken, hallucinating pot heads LOL
And I will be most careful when wishing ;) :D
Well now, myself being one not to talk out of school , but did you hear that......sorry I did promise not to tell.
Enelle, I can think of no reason whatsoever why both of your statements can't be true. Speaking for myself and my fellow bunyips.
We are very prolific, very, very indiscriminate, and in case you have not noticed we are, way over the top, gregariously sociable. Now that I have fessed up how about you, anything you want to tell me.
I am very discreet, just between you and me . Promise !
How marvelous to have a live bunyip on HubPages! You don't kill hubbers right?
So you don't drool, you hug hot women to death, and you're gregariously sociable. Very interesting! I think the sociable thing is how you snag your prey, and you're good at it too! Thanks for letting us in on your secrets. :)
Well you see Pam we bunyip have been around for a long long time.
We have seen a lot of water go under the bridge.
I have had many encounters over the years, I don't like dropping names , but there was this one time with Cleo, just before she kicked old Mark out, boy what a loser he was. And there was this beautiful lady called Salome, boy did guys loose there heads over that one ?
Women, after having been given the bunyip "Hug", simply say "Ohhhh that was to die for"!
What more can I say ? ;-)
Hello Bunyip. Just came by to see what you were up to. So do you have any fascinating tales to hub? Any exciting Bunyip escapades?
Well if it isn't me old mate, Frieda Babbley how are you going.
At this point of time I am auditioning to be a Hub Villain. but I don't think that's gonna work. How about exploring my feminine side, yeah that might do it. I'll put on my pretty face and see how I go.
Thanks for the help Frieda.?
'kay. Well, if you need me, you know where to find me.
Feminine side huh? Got any ideas?
Well quite honestly Frieda if you could just take a minute from holding whoever it is your holding in your avatar there is just one small query I have. I was wondering about my shoes. I think its the color ?
Bunyip... I'm here!!!!!
I had to put "no" although I could be in err.. since, until now I've not known what one was, now that I do, I shall keep a watchful eye open.. and if you know of one in my area, I'd really like a hug!
Well Candie, you can now boast that you have actually seen a Bunyip and as a special one off deal consider yourself well and truly hugged, but not eaten. I am surprised though that for someone who lives somewhere over the rainbow has not seen some relation of mine. I will check out my family tree and see if anyone lives in the Land of Oz . (((((( huge hug)))))))
btw you now have a guardian bunyip sitting on you shoulder.
As my mate Jimmney Cricket used to say 'give a little whistle'!
*little whistle*!
*little whistle!*
ahem... "little whistle"
Bloody Hub challenge there I was having a little snooze .
Fair dinkum missed all those whistles.
Now where the bloody hell did she go ????
Oh bunyip! I'm ready! I'm in diguise. It's me, Frieda.
I just followed FB in to see if she would get eaten.
No, I'm in disguise. I'm suppose to meet Bunyip's mates. I hope he comes round soon.
I'm still gonna hide behind this rock over here.
Okay, just in case. I suppose we'd better play it safe. It may be a few hours. Should we play monopoly? Scrabble? A game of cards? Sing a song?
thumb wrestle.
Okay. Who keeps score?
we draw line in the dirt. I have to warn you that I have a double jointed thumb. Don't cry cheater later.
Don't worry, I know how to deal with double jointed thumbs. Don't cry cause you lose.
My ex-wife was attacked by a Bunyip. She sat her beer on it's head. Could have been an angry midget tho. It bear hugged her knees and she fell over. Anyhow ...it kicked her ass! Cool Hub! :)
what happened to the beer?
Spilled on the midget. ...Bunyip looking thing. Was in a glass.
that's a sad story. Poor beer. what a shame.
I know...sucks....I cheered the midget on.
I'll bet he's off eating children. They do that, you know. He says otherwise, but what would you expect? I happen to know a couple of bunyips who say they are vegetarians, but they are also notorious liars!
Hm. It sounds like BT feels a little threatened by this Bunyip. I sense some hostility.
Any Bunyip that beats up my ex-wife is a friend of mine...liar or not! :)
Not at all, Toad. Some of my best friends are yippish. I'm more jealous that I can't thumb wrestle!
You are seriously missing out.HAHA!
I've got one of these little bastards living under my bed. He keeps stealing my M&M's stash!!!
... The flavored ones!
That's odd. I don't see a bunyip under here. Just a bunch of m&m's. Yum!
this is a serious crisis.
If we see Ag, chances are, Bunyip is not far behind. You don't really think they eat children, do you? That would be horrible. Due to my disguise I mean.
Any milk chocolate m&ms left? Those are my favorites!
What crisis? It's just m&m's, man. And I'm only takin' the green ones. He can have the rest of 'em back.
frieda....................................................................... Sorry ....................................................................... Ag where's that paper bag. I'm hyperventilating, breathe, that's it in- out -in- out etc/ etc.
Never have I seen such beauty, and you did all this. for me.?
Now GT you naughty boy , I never eat a lady with an audience, heaven forbid man , you might have a camera and our pictures could get on to YouTube and we could be famous and make lots of money selling our story to the magazines. Hmmm,,, just hold that thought GT I'll talk to my agent? My people can talk to your people . OK?
So who won the thumb wrestle . If I'd known it was on I coulda got 5 to 1 on Frieda. Is it too late. She's a shoe-in. Man I've seen her thumbs they are AWESOME. Best pair of thumbs I have ever seen.
;-)
Tom that was probably one of my long lost relatives, and we can take on any shape that is reqired , short , tall, .
The one that attacked your wife I would say was short sighted we have a propensity to hide when threatened.
Boy she must have been one tough little cookie, if he went to all of the trouble of hugging her and didn't eat her. ;-)
Usually with us bunyip, get past the hugging stage , there is no turning back. ;-)
Hey toad I've just filled the fridge again, help yourself, but I'll need to see some ID. Can't go serving no 'miners' here. ;-)
I lost badly, despite the double joint.
So here I am. Is my disguise okay? Can I meet the mates?
Yes lost badly. I've spent far too much time practicing. What shall we play now? Bunip, any ideas?
Oh dear. Where did my bunyip go? Do I need a different disguise?
He didn't eat her because she tasted bad......the dog licked her once and had his nose up his ass for three days!
I have been doing sneezing on a very funny Hub if anyone hasn't read it go here:
http://hubpages.com/hub/To-Sneeze-or-Not-To-Sneeze
Now as far as your disguise goes, it is perfect, is that purple hair, I love purple hair, and your little button nose. hey wait a minute it is a button. And I lurv long slender necks and your's is just, hmm your's is just. hmm Ok yours is just.
Now I love to play . games. All me mates had to leave early , you know how it is , you play around for 1000 years or so a guy has to get some sleep sometimes.
Do you know any games that we can play one on one. ?
Or is GT or Tom still around ?
If you both lost its a draw ?
Oh Tom, that's gross! =D
That is a wonderful hub, bunyip. One of my favorites.
I love to draw. Shall we draw? I can get my crayons. Or markers. I've got some markers that smell like fruits. Shall we use those?
Frieda, you ARE a fruit!!
lol I know. You have to be to be friends with a bunyip and find them cute and appealing. =D
It's midnight, bunyip, I'm afraid I must change back. I had loads of fun! Let's play again soon. Maybe on your next hub? All about games bunyips like to play!
In the meantime as our Laughing mum has said your a fruit!
You may ponder what type of fruit you would like to be ?
Goodnight sleep tight and watch out for bunyips under the bed.
Artisan Walker,
These bunyips can be such a drag can't they. This one used to live under my bed and eating all of my M&Ms. and Snicker Bars and Violet Crumbles and Cherry Ripes. It was getting so bad that he would not eat his dinner.
He was getting so big that the bed was lifting off the floor. See the top picture.
So I took the only steps I could:
I cut the legs off the bed so he couldn't get underneath any more.
Problem solved !
So BT Evilpant, how's it goin cus, yeah those bunyip claim to be vegetarians. We fool em you know.
You remember the old song about girls being made from 'sugar and spice and all things nice' well we made it up for the vegan side of the family. Now don't you go telling em.
Now you leave those green M & M 's alone do you hear.
This is my Hub so I'm claiming miners rights ( or something like that) . If you don't I'll get my mate Hairy to pay you a visit with his shears and I'll have a nice warm Jackalope coat for winter.
It would go very nicely with my ensemble.
B.T. I knew it, ya sneaky bastard!
Now, ask me which ones I booby-trapped ... and with WHAT I booby-trapped them Ooo-ha-ha!!!
hi you are awersome and the bunney information is also good
Hey Bunyip, you leave my Frieda alone now. Don't you go eating her or Papermoon will have a fit and I'll sick Lilith on you, or worse cindyvine.
Hey ralwus the old bunyip is scared of your Lillith, man he used to go to kindergarten with her and pull her pigtails, she don't scare him none. Now cindyvine she a whole different pot full of sausages. ;-)
Now I reckon alls fair in love and war and if the bunyip wants to take on a ralwus I think he'll go alright . Besides he can run very fast .
Now Papermoon the last time we saw him he was floating out in the universe somewhere and he might got swallowed up in one of those 'black holes'.
Man you gotta watch those black holes.
I reckon yer right on the black holes ag alright. LOL But that ol' bunyip had still better leave our lil Frieda alone now or he might find a tusk or two up his black hole.
little whistle!
My new poem: You just never know when I'll pucker up and blow!
Little whistle!!! :o
New poem where ?
Next to the word "poem",, ok, so it's more like a rhyme less like a poem..
Sorry, bad bunyip trying to work with out glasses.
Now I see the rhyme.
Bunyips are not renowned for their poetic nature, we are more the strong silent type. lol ;-)
That's ok Bunyip.. I rarely rhyme anyway.. I shall stick to whistling.
Man you have a wild imagination! Ip...ip I swallowed an ip!
Oh Raven, hasn't anyone ever told you. "Never put an IP near your mouth" ?
Now I will have to give you mouth to mouth! ;-)
Thank you so much for dropping by. They may have to send out a search party for you now . LOL
hehehehe.
I'm safe and sound since the bunyip didn't like being in the dark. I'm returning your little beast and he is in the box with handles. Go take it easy on the little feller. :)
LittleWhistle!
what noise do bunyips make?
Raven King you were very lucky that I had been well fed the night before. How on earth did you get me in that box.?
