About Me
i am described as: "A strong murderous beast, jaws as powerful as a steel trap, has ravenous appetite, eats tigers, lions, elephants, buffaloes, donkeys, giraffes, octopuses, rhinoceroses, and moose." However, this definition is only partially accurate. i also eat chickens, ducks, and especially rabbits. Whirring around like a tornado, slicing through trees like a rotary saw, and feasting on an entire ecosystem of jungle creatures, i have one thing on my mind: Eating. i have the power to devour everything and anything in a single gulp. When i come, a-runnin', giraffes scurry for their lives, alligators turn themselves into luggage to hide, and sharks literally leap out of the water. And even if you take me out of my natural habitat, it is nearly impossible to take away my appetite. Even on Christmas Eve in the suburbs, i still want to eat.
i am incredibly rare. You would be lucky to come upon me in a zoo. As with all dangerous creatures confining me can be a tricky proposition. i do not like being caged. i have the tendency to break free. When i escape watch out! With me on the loose the zookeepers usually post a reward for my capture. Only the most foolhardy and greedy of treasure seekers, Daffy Duck, would dare to attempt to capture the beasty me. only music soothes my ego. i do have a few weaknesses. So if you see me with a napkin tied around my neck sizing you up for supper, please keep the following tips in mind:
i have a weakness for a pretty Devil. Whether the female is really Bugs Bunny in disguise or a real lady Devil. i can be temporary diverted by my attraction to the feminine.
Another approach you can use to reroute me is to appeal to my paternal instinct.
i have my largest weakness, my appetite. If you promise to cook me a good meal, sometimes i will forget that i am trying to eat you! You can serve me "wild turkey surprise" and i will be so excited that i won't realize that the turkey is supposed to be filled with stuffing, not a wick and explosive material. Give me enough explosive meals and i may actually refuse a meal.
A clever disguise has been known to fool me. This strategy can also buy some "get away" time.
Trying to fool me will only give you a temporary escape, not a permanent solution to your Devil problems. Bugs Bunny once made a quick escape from me by pretending he wasn't a rabbit, but a monkey. It took me a minute to realize this, and soon cornered Bugs, asking him, "What for you say you monkey when you have puffy tail like rabbit?"
One final note: Never underestimate me. After tangling with me, Bugs has learned that i can surprise you sometimes. So keep a sharp eye out and keep your wits about you. this is me Tasmanian DeviL... "Taz" for short...
