Sydney (Morning Wallaby) - Hopping mad and looking for revenge, a pair of weaponized kangaroos escaped a secret military compound outside Sydney, Australia Sunday evening.

Authorities remained mum on the subject, but a nearby barkeep was more than happy to oblige.

"We wuz chock-a-block with customers, mate, when all of a sudden, in barges these two surly buggin' roo's. I asks 'em what they want, and you should'a seen the look they gave me...alls me regulars starts creepin' out the back, an' I feels a trickle of sweat drip right down me mug."

The barkeep, Bud "Sharktooth" O'Mally, stood his ground, refusing to serve the rogue marsupials, who eventually took the hint and buggered off.

"I wouldn't of served them warm Foster's mixed in with me own piss," grinned O'Mally, flashing an incredible mess of twisted, half-missing teeth.

"I know me rights."

The search continued Monday for the wayward roo's, rumored to be outfitted with an assortment of military sensors and mini-rocket launchers. No word yet on the government's plans to dispose of the remaining militarized kangaroos, whose program was initiated under former PM John Howard.
