Huh ? What ? Look you guys every freaking time I try to get some sleep around this joint somebody messes around with my ears !

Can’t you see they are as big as Dumbo’s now ? Hell I’m afraid to go up on the roof to relieve myself like the rest of you have been doing.

I’m afraid the wind will catch my ears and I’ll fly all the way to Alaska !

(BTW I don’t think that guy who’s car was broke down of the road a few miles back loves any of you ! )

Ayesha, honey, now don’t worry. Your ears look fine.  
Just fine.  
Don’t worry, now. Here’s some…stuff, that’s really sticky and we’ll just sort of _glue_ glue them back, and if you _roolll_ over the tops of your ears and tuck them under this gimme cap, why, you look just like, just like, Princess Leia in a seed cap.

Pass The Lioness some more tequila.

I’m game for that truck wash. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I sure could use a bath. Really. I’m so stinky that I can’t smell anyone else. I hope I haven’t offended anyone too badly.

And what’s up with the electric tequila? Let me have that bottle.

:::swigs:::

Hey! That’s good! Let me have some…

I sure hope those idiots were smashed good…what’s this about a yeti baptism? Where’s a yeti? I have my gun…I’ll put him down…

UncleBeer finally awakens from an extended “sleep,” called to consciousness by… TEQUILA! He looks around in horror; his nightmares of Pokemon and Loverock weren’t nightmares at all. Merely intrusions of the corporeal world, haunting the only moments of peace his mind has had in weeks.

Hey ChiefScott, where the hell are we going? It’s getting damn cold out here; What say we hit Tijuana, Mexico? I think we can trade that big ass green lizard to the natives for some peyote, hash and burritos. They can shellac that monster to sell in some crappy little roadside tourist shop. Sounds like a fair exchange to me.

Now hit it! Oh, you’re blind? Ah well, I’ll give you directions. Turn left, **NOW!!!**

</div>

ChiefScott executes a quick “U-ee” which not only heads the heavily damaged meat wagon due south, but dumps cases and cases of empty beer and tequila bottles out the multitude of holes in the side of the vehicle.

A quick slug of the electric tequila and a swipe of the back of his arm across his mouth, he tosses another empty over his shoulder as he sets to the task of navigating towards Mexico.

“Uh Beer? You’ve kinda been out of it for awhile so you _do_ know we’re heading back towards Loverock and the trolls? And while that’s rattling around in that void you call a mind, old man, pass me more booze. Now!”, the chief slurs.

The trolls and Loverock? Naw, not a problem, Chief. I (wink, wink) know a “shortcut” that’ll get us around 'em. Now drink up and pass that bottle back.

pssst, guys, look over there, to the right. There’s a double decker tour bus.

The driver just got out, slow down Chief, yep he left the keys in. Lets ditch this meat wagon and take the bus.

No, no it’s legal ! He is giving it to us by leaving the keys. Besides we can stop and grab an empty barrel someplace to bathe in SOME OF US really need a bath ! ::glaring at smelly yeti::

Oh yeah theres a Wal-Mart ahead, we can liberate some tooth brushes SOME PEOPLE won’t share theirs :: glaring at Cristi, who has no fuzz on her teeth::

I bet between all of us we can empty out the store.

:::grumbles loudly:::

Who is this yeti person? If there’s a yeti around, I’ll put him down for you all…there will be a feast for the ages!

:::loads his shotgun and smiles through his blood-stained teeth:::

He needs a bath…a blood bath…mwahaha…HAHAAHA!!!

Since we don’t have a windshield, lets drain the wiper fluid and douse the sasquatch. Whooee, he could gag a maggot.

Was I dreaming, or did we just run over a parade?

I kinda like the idea of the double-decker bus. CanadianSue could go up top, lean over the front with her arms flung out, and we could all sing “My Heart Will Go On.”

:::note to self: check for overpasses enroute::

Oh yeti, come here, no wait on second thought stay there, I’ll just yell.

WE DON"T WANT TO KILL YOU YETI, WE JUST WANT TO WASH YOU.

No you don’t have to yell back with ears like these I can’t help but hear you.

:::moans, groans, shakes fuzzy head:::

Holy Toledo, Chief! What is in that tequila! It’s making my head spin like Linda Blair. And I think I’m hallucinating that UncleBeer is here.

:::the three UncleBeers merge into one:::

Wow! Unc! It really is you! Well tickle me pink and griddle me brown! Good to know you’re alive! I’d kiss you, but I need to brush my teeth first.

:::rummages through purse again:::

Awright…who stole my toothbrush? No, never mind. I do _not_ want it back. But don’t come crying to me when one of you gets hoof-and-mouth.  
Well, I’d better get myself a healthy swig of that tequila. That’ll get rid of any critters in my teeth, and some enamel too!

:::takes a big swig, but doesn’t fall down this time:::

Oh, I get it now! I just needed to build up some immunity!
