Fellow No Boundarier

The other day I was driving my Escape (featuring the No Boundaries package (shown left)) to my local REI (which is soon to be the second closest REI to me as they are building a new REI for me right in my city!). As I was pulling into the parking lot another Escape was passing me in the opposite direction. I see a lot of Escapes driving around, but rarely do I ever see the coveted No Boundaries package. Seeing this other No Boundaries Escape, I looked into its cockpit. The dude in the other Escape also noticed that I too have no boundaries. No words needed to be exchanged, just a knowing nod and a super thumb*.

*Super Thumb – An enhanced, but less used version of the popular “thumbs up.” Used sparingly and primarily when the basic thumbs up is just not enough.

How to Perform a Super Thumb:

1. Make eye contact with Super Thumb recipient.
2. Hold said eye contact.
3. Pull on your most serious face (crucial to indicating the level of thumbs up).
4. Breathe in through the nose deeply and audibly.
5. The following must all be performed together (failure to do so can end in tragedy and/or humility)

    This guy definitely needs a SUPER Thumb.

    He sure needs something. I don’t know if the superthumb is quite enough. Maybe a mega thumb?

    The Fonz wants to know if it still counts as a super thumb if you’re trying to eat it…

    She’s just a baby, come on…

    I have performed the Super Thumb on many occasions. I have added some little special touches to it though. Uses lordleiter’s well worded techniques w/a little touch of Brad Pitt style from the sych ward in 12 Monkeys. I think it adds a little pizazz. Don’t you?

    Sorry about that, I don’t know why it posted twice!

    I think I might work with that singing guy. Like he says, c’mon people, let’s save our environment. And take some LSD.

    No need to be sorry. Now it looks like I have all kinds of posts! I’ll take all I can get.

    The Fonz is sooooo schooled in the ways of the super thumb, excepte hers may be SUPERMEGARAD thumb because it is so delish she must eat it!
    p.s. Anastasia, who is the singing guy? Is he also an albatross? I think he just might be!
