Top Cutlines

1. Squirrel remembered the time those old boys smoked some of that Canadian stuff with him then took him skiing on Lake Coeur d’Alene and he started looking around and feeling like he really was a squirrel, and all the people were huge, and he was stuck behind the boat looking at those huge people for what seemed like hours — Brent Andrews.

2. Twiggy braces and prepares to jump the Tidy-Bowl boat wake — Paul L. Ferguson, and: The crowd scatters moments later when Rocky’s beer-toting friend Bullwinkle joins the action. He was later heard to call his drink a ‘moose ski brewski’ — John Austin.

3. Jayson Ronk: Sure we’ll pay up…when squirrels go waterskiing! — Whippersnapper.
