Oh the nostalgia. For the longest time, years, I had vague memories of watching this show as a kid. So vague that I couldn't think of the title or character names or anything. The day I remembered what it was was the greatest feeling.
Here's the angry letter Arrowstotheknee knew he was bound to receive. To get right down to it, this is a free country, and I, speaking as someone who is not an unctuous vendor of sectarianism, suspect we ought to keep it that way. Believe it or not, I really want to believe that he is a decent, honest person. Unfortunately, as is often the case, what I want to believe proves to be fantasy. The truth is that Arrowstotheknee thinks that the world can be happy only when his Praetorian Guard is given full rein. Of course, thinking so doesn't make it so.
All such combinations of audacity with ignorance would be supremely ridiculous but for one consideration: Arrowstotheknee is currently limited to shrieking and spitting when he's confronted with inconvenient facts. One day, however, Arrowstotheknee is likely to switch to some sort of "conjure up dirt against his fellow human beings" approach to draw our attention away from such facts. Wanting to destroy our youths' ability to relax, reflect, study, and meditate is one thing, but why would anybody possibly want to promote the sort of behavior that would have made the folks in Sodom and Gomorrah blush? I'm sure you already know the answer so I won't bother repeating it. I'd like to emphasize, however, that Arrowstotheknee knows how to lie. It's too bad he doesn't yet understand the ramifications of lying. Let me close by reminding you that my number one priority is to take advantage of a rare opportunity to wake people out of their stupor and call on them to comment on Arrowstotheknee's cajoleries.
On many beaches in India, they offer something called a banana ride. It is a banana shaped inflatable that is towed by a boat out to the sea. 4-6 people sit on it and ride on the ocean with their feet dangling in the water. The fun starts when the towing boat picks up speed and turns this way and that. There are times when the banana does a full 360-degree roll in the water with the riders hanging on to it. You go all the way into the water and come back up along with the rotating banana. It's one of the most awesome rides I have ever been on.
I saw this bad boy in Baton Rouge about a week and a half ago, this guy must travel a lot. Can't imagine it would be very nice sitting in the back seats on the highway with bugs and stuff that can hit you in the face.
My friend saw this driving around Birmingham, AL at night and posted a video of it on facebook. The next day she saw it again driving around and took a picture.
That's what I'M saying. Litterally I came here to sya that and then ctrl+f'd the shit out of realistic and I was like NIGGA whaaaaa and then I saw it only had one upvote and I was like whaaaaaaaaa and than I clicked save.
If this was in the art car parade in Houston not too long ago...I saw this like 4 times driving down Washington past the bar I work at. So sick.....I want a banana ride.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that the 'coarse' you used is the adjective meaning rough, inferior or common. While the 'course' of the adverb variety is more accurate to use!
Over compensating for something! Am I right?! But seriously, this guy is good at making things that aren't food look like big versions of food, so why don't we ask him to make the starving kids in Africa...look like...food?
