    That's not skin. The guy's a midget sitting in half of a pilates ball.

    The wood is drift wood that we pick up off the beach and the skin is made out of Emperor Penguin butts stretch and stitched together using a natural cordage from sea weed.

    We always suspected that you went both ways.

    Reminds me of the coracle I fabricated out of an old satellite dish. My wife and I paddled that thing from Montana, down the Missouri and Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, went on down to Key West and partied with Jimmy Buffett. After a week of debauchery with the locales (learned the hard way I'm not gay), we then paddled our little craft down to the Panama Canal, headed over to the Gulf of California, then paddled the Baha Penisula up to Cabo and raged with Sammy Hagar on the beach. He then flew us back to Montana in his private jet, we hooked up with Eddy, Alex and the boys for a Van HAlen reunion at David Lettermans ranch. then we parted paths.

    It's really a neat trick taught to me by Frezinmyazzoff. It's called the sculling draw. In its native language its referred to as a damsombit.

    Well of course. It's the Rambo Super Deer Slayer Deluxe With Scope, Holo Sights, Laser and Tac Light.

    Pfffft. That's nothing compared to the Rambo Super Deer Slayer Deluxe With Scope, Holo Sights, Laser and Tac Light. Crash is right. That has to be the best of the best.

    it looks nice if you have small hands and are surviving in Malibu. A real man needs at least a 14" blade, and a hollow handle for storage...
