So we buried him and gave him a proper Christian readin’ and then hit the road, headed due west. ---

So…the **Do Not Feed the Bears** signs were printed in several languages. ---

But before long, the no bear feeding policy led to no pickanick baskets, and the unfortunate cartoon bears soon found themselves at the brink of cartoon starvation. ---

So…before we saw things that were alarming we switched the channel to watch Scooby and the Gang solve the Mystery of the old Highschool. ---

But it turned out that some old guy was under the mask, complaining about “those durn interferin’ kids.” ---

So…Scooby and Shaggy ate scooby-snacks. ---

But that made them too fat to ride their Scooby-Scooters ---

But it was January 2nd which meant they had to wait 36 hours to actually get on one of the treadmills ---

So…we decided road work would take place in a Cartoon montage, with cheesy music and bad graphics. ---

But…we realized there might be copyright infringement issues. ---

So…we started all over again. ---

So…I went for a walk down my driveway… ---

But when I got to the end a big bear approached. ---

So…I argued the price of gasoline with him. ---

But he said he uses diesel. ---

But the bear just drove off in a huff, which is a type of vehicle that was new to me. ---
