australian snakes

So I had this really crazy dream a couple nights ago and I've managed to piece together a few bits. There was a whole bunch more to it, but I can only remember the end, which was a cartoon. Now, I swear I saw a comic strip of this sometime before this, but I can't for the life of me remember from where, but maybe I just saw it in the dream. Or maybe it was a previous dream. Hmm.

In any case, the dream cartoon goes something like this. There's this ranger-wildlife type guy, dressed in classic beige tromping-through-the-everglades type of vest, shorts, and of course, a wide-brimmed hat. He's walking through this desert type of place (Sahara Desert, I imagine), though there are trees; how this works, I don't know, but hey, it was a dream. He talks in a thick Australian accent, talking and gesturing towards the camera Steve Irwin style.

This is probably the introduction of the show, so the nameless ranger talks of the various different species of animals found in the desert where he's at. He is growled at by a number of creatures, mainly feline animals like panthers and jaguars. The ranger goes by nonchalantly, gesturing and talking of each kind of animal as if it weren't ready to bite his head off. He finally comes to an enormous lion who roars loudly, shaking the screen. "But even lions aren't the most fearsome of the creatures of the desert," declares the ranger. "These are none other than--"

Suddenly, the camera flips up, getting a view of the tops of the trees and the blinding light from above. Then, out of nowhere, snakes rain from the sky, landing all around. Snapping back to the ranger, the animals around him cringe at the sight of the snakes. Grabbing a snake by the back of its head so as to not get bitten, the ranger cries, "SNAKES FROM A PLANE!!" The lions, etc. dash away in a cloud of dust, leaving the ranger in a circle of snakes.

So as my sister pointed out, not only is this an incredibly strange dream, it manages to combine two of the recent internet fads, which is pretty impressive. I'm not sure how to interpret this as to how it relates to my life, but it might be that I'm on the intarweb too much. Not like that's possible.
