Wow, this is pretty hilarious! I don’t even know how to respond! It makes me want to give you round of applause, a hug, and maybe even a piggy back ride. If I gave you a good enough piggy back ride, you could probably add piggy back rides to the list.

Saddle-up partner!
Scott

These were SO FUNNY!!The only thing missing is some Rocky theme music and a man doing push ups on the beach with a large, sand covered woman on his back.

"Duck Food" is the only one I know anything about. If they're all that funny then I may never stop laughing.

The log was me...and John. Did Scott do it too?

But that does bring up one more...

56. Me climbing off the inner tube onto the back of Scott's double skis for a little "tandem."
