Unicorn…must be why they are a mythical beast

#3

Wasn’t the unicorn that got their attention.

#4

4 dweebs; very likely drunk.

If you were going out in public to be seen paddling an inflatable rainbow unicorn wouldn’t you get drunk first?

#6

I like how it stated “one officer filmed while the other…”

Do you figure that’s in the procedures manual?

#7

“Mad rescue roping skills”?
A fairly basic toss.
Now roping broncing unicorn?
Seldom skills for that you’ll cross.

Cowboys of such hornytoad aim,
are sadly fast expirin’.
Especially those that thread their game,
through drunken wailin’ siren.

For play’n your toss in unicorn,
locked in lily pad respite,
a chromatic caniption doth ensue,
with somewhat hornier Rainbow Brite.

That’s the best reply in this whole thread!

I can see where you might appreciate it with a last name like “O’Plasty.”;-

I hope they at least fined them. Minnesota has a mandatory license and invasive species fee for non-powered watercraft over 10’. State also has a mandatory “PFD-on-board law”. In PA that is a $75 fine per person.

There is probably a lot of appreciation associated with that name.
