Whatever they are looking at to the right of picture.

"My green camoflague is better than your green camoflague."

When running from a predator, you only need to be faster than one other of the prey. My money would be on the bike.

"No Darling, you're not overweight, you're undertall. Please stop whinging. Can you just imagine how I feel, having an arse shaped like a canoe? Do you think this is easy? The humiliation? Always having to take the backroads because of the inevitable stares? How many times has Curves sent you over to Bass Pro Shops, hmm? How many times have you taken a taxi only to be strapped to the roof? In the rain! Of sitting on the shore only to have someone inquire if your arse is for hire and 'what's the hourly rate? Is it much?' Of riding a bicycle and hearing kids shout 'Look, mum! An amphibious!' Of rudely being told your arse isn't a carry-on then ordered to spend the flight in the hold? Let me ask you: Has your arse ever been boarded by Somali pirates who tried to throw you overboard? I doubt it! Imagine the struggle! Now, where did you see that bear?"

Strangely the further into the forest the greater the non linear gravitational distortion anomaly, playing havoc with the recording equipment. "Get out of there fast" said Kirk.

That's what started it all...

she wanted matching bikes,.... she bought hers, and when he went to get his, Gander Mountain had a sale on canoes...

since then, there was no peace in that house.

I'm simply not sure which I wish to harangue,

The unmarked wide load,

Or the canoe on wheels?

I mean damn, this is really hard.

If he can launch the canoe before she gets there, she won't sink it again, along with all the beer!
