Photos of Me Riding Things

by Candice on January 4, 2012




oh dear god


The cannon wasn't nearly as fun as the moose







Definitely a llama, judging by the handy infographic behind me


*Yes, I am aware it’s spelled monkeys.

Maybe you could do a handwritten blog post WHILE riding a killer whale?

Now THAT would be impressive.

I love this! I also think it should become a theme for your site. You have got me thinking that maybe I don’t ride enough random things while traveling.

Candice Reply:

Everyone should ride random things. That should be my new motto.

bahaha, fantastic! :D
Did you ever ride the baby woolly mammoth in Ottawa? That was a classic. . .

I think the lobster is my favourite, I must say :)
well, maybe the llama… but maybe it makes me too jealous… ;P

Love it! Who doesn’t love riding a lobster or moose? Fun! And I just now, because you said it, though about your blog title in a dirty way. Which is funny, cuz my mind usually “goes there,” but it never has with it before. I like it though. Very pun-like ;)

[Reply]

Candice Reply:

Lol! It’s usually the first thing that comes to most people’s minds. Glad to know your mind isn’t always in the gutter. ;)

The lobster is awesome. But a killer whale would be even awesomer.

So the cannon was near Bay Roberts, too?
Because in my mind it is totally pointed at the moose.
Not that I have anything against moose.
Also I’m very impressed you were able to keep your flip-flops on while climbing said moose. ‘Thems’ mad skills, Candice!
:)

Candice Reply:

It was! Although quite far from the moose. Maybe strategically aligned, just the same.

Did you ride the cannon before or after riding the moose? It looks much more manageable, but, you’re right … not nearly as much fun!

[Reply]

Candice Reply:

Before! Thank god, or else that’d be an epic let-down.

Love this post. The lobster (too cute, btw) and your handwritten notes – such an effective combination!

Candice Reply:

Thank you, Neha! I still have to learn how to write in a straight line, apparently.

Love the pic of u on the llama. Is it true that they spit at people sometimes? And look at the llama behind you guys in the photo? He did a double take lol!

Candice Reply:

Omg! I did NOT notice that other llama! That’s hysterical!! Lol. And yup, they’re spitters…I was lucky though.

Loved that post! And similar to your Dolphin post, a “Pictures of Me Riding Things” post will also attract some interesting folks from Google. LMAO.
