Welcome to my Web site

My name is Mr. Kangaroo.  I  live in Beaverton, Oregon.  A few years ago I was sunning myself upon a newspaper box in downtown Portland (a very large suburb of Beaverton) when I was abducted.  My history before that point is fuzzy, but presumably I was owned by some snot nosed little kid who clearly did not appreciate all that I have to offer.  How do you think I got onto that paper box in the first place?

My new owner gave me to a co-worker as a token of their friendship.   I was returned.  This infuriated my new master who then gave me back to his friend, insisting that she keep me.  I was once again returned.  I was then wrapped up as a Christmas gift and left for my owner's friend.  You guessed it.   Returned.

And so it has gone on for the last several years.  Back and forth - nobody wants me.  It may seem like a horrible life, but it has actually been very fulfilling.  I have gone on many adventures over the years - I have been skydiving, hiking near Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge,  dressed up as a barbie doll, baked in a cake, and embalmed in Jell-o.  Some of my adventures have been more fun than others.

Here I am last summer at Timothy Lake.

That's Mt. Hood in the background.

Here I am, on the same day, chillin' by the lake.

Yesterday my master went to find me so we could go on another adventure.   But, since he's an idiot, he forgot where he put me last.  I lived in his garage, up on the pegboard next to the socket wrench for several months. That sucked.   Obviously, I'm somewhere else now, but I can't tell you where.  My brainiac owner will have to find me first.  Once he does, I will make sure he takes pictures of my new adventures, and we will post them here.
