Do you think they know what ‘canoodling’ is? it was either this or canoeing in the Gobi Are you sure this is where they found Noah’s ark? They should’ve known not to use Mr. MaGoo guide service The boys pitched their TV pilot, “Canoe Bachelors.” Will they choose canoes or brides? After three months they are starting to think the guys that told them to hold their canoes are not coming back Forever patient, they waited for the snow to turn to water Always fashion savvy, Rob and Bob were happy their mom picked canoes that were a neutral color The boys remembered to check thier watercraft for invasive aquatic species “Alright, i thought i was the only one entered in the improvised bobsleding skol.” i finally found one place where the Eras tour is not stopping! They sent us the wrong luggage again “See mom, i went canoeing not mountain climbing.” Ole and Sven figure out that they forgot their paddles for mountain climbing “Sorry, i thought i won a trip to Australia not Austria…” “Are you sure he is coming back with our camera?” i think we got the wrong bags Three days and the mountains still have not turned blue… It’s been three hours…I don’t think they’re coming back to take our picture. |
