Seems we can add, "Snake Rustler" to the many talents of Elmo after his fearless display on Sunday 
I think it's the practice he gets dealing with all those 'Snakes' at Avalon 
Removing a dugite from the beach using a mast 
So you can add snakes to the wonders of Hardies run, and the aromatic weed 
Flinging, the mast is no good for clubbing as it really annoys them
But used properly ie gripping the mast around the boom area alloys you to pick up said snake on the tip and allow you to fling it 10-15' up the beach, that said it wasn't to impressed about flying either, but i did get it well away from peoples.
I found this snake sitting on my boom when I got back to the rest of my kit when rigging, there were 2 or 3 people standing around with all their kit totally oblivious to it
Notes.
Always use your longest mast, you at one end snake at other
Use an X6 or an X9 mast as the flex top gives a better fling.
Wear plastic underwear
Don't annoy snakes, they get feisty.
Snakes will hide under I-sonics as they don't move very fast (until Claude gets on them)
Don't attempt this unless you are a fully trained muppet dickhead
Pity you didn't stick a logo on the snake first.
That would have to win the Flying Objects competition!
The snake was thinking to itself "why is'nt Elmo using NP anymore...oh crap, here he comes"
Thanks for the tips, next time there is a snake at the beach instead of yelling at him in German I'll use the X-combat RDM
Ta, Elmo
i like to handle snakes with a shovel!
i also like to blame my parents for instilling this attitude into me.
