I like pogo sticks. I’m damned good, too. I’ve done 500 in a row before, no stopping. The only reason I quit was because my ass muscles were on fire.

The only problem is all the pogo sticks I’ve ever seen are built for people about 5’ tall, and only hold up to 100 or so lbs.

Does anyone know of any larger pogo sticks available?

Are you sure you didn’t hop into a campfire pit or stovetop or something alah “goofy”?

…rather then “your butt burning” for “pogo sticks”.

Somewhere someone got a kick out of a phrase I say a lot:

> [@](#):
>
> Fuck me on a pogo stick

It’s quite a versatile quote really, it can be used in many situations.
