“WHOO yeah! Here we go!” Fuzz cheered as he did a TJ Hooker slide over the hood. “C’mon, give me the keys!”
“Did we overdo the coffee this morning?” Rick asked.
Fuzz giggled. “YEAH!”

Brian’s notes for this leg:
Having just woken up, we set off towards the next waypoint in Half Moon Bay. We made it without incident, and feel increasingly hopeful about finishing, if not outright winning, this challenge. Stephanie has been staring out of the passenger side rear window for several hours, looking at the countless stars scattered across the night sky. With dawn approaching, our optimism is as strong as ever.
Just before reaching Half Moon Bay, Amy heard a rumor a few teams have made it as far as El Capitan, but are now feeling more fatigued than we consider acceptable due to having to drive on through the night. On the other hand, she suspects that, due to delays in receiving a vital part, one team has not even made it to San Francisco yet… Even though it is already known that they will receive the part eventually, whether or not they will still reach the finish line is now increasingly unlikely.

Radio: (Announcers voice sounds similar to Kelsey Grammar) You are tuned in to KCTLs Expanding Horizons weekend. You’ve just heard the Metalflake hit “I See You in the ICU” Metalflake is mostly known for their efforts to bring about a revival of the metal craze. I wish them luck in their endeavor. Our next title in our “Expanding Horizons Weekend” is an overture from the Barber of Seville composed by Gioachino Antonio Rossini…
Luigi: More of this classical shit?
Marc: It’s for your own good you philistine! Besides, that garbage you listen to rots your brain and ruins your ears.
Blake: All I can think of is Bugs Bunny.
Luigi: So what’s the game plan for today?
Marc: It’s early, so I plan to get as much ground covered before rush hour hits.
Blake: Everything is looking good with the car, I think we’ve got a good chance.
Marc: Well, don’t count all your eggs before they’re hatched.
Luigi: I’m pretty sure chickens give live births like sharks.
Marc: Are you shitting me?
Blake: It doesn’t matter, but I do believe we may no longer be in the lead.
Marc: Sounds like people ran through most of the night then. I hope for their sakes they know what they’re doing. Fatigue can sneak up on you.
Luigi: How bad can it be?
Marc: Well, driving for 16 hours without any rest is the equivalent of being at the legal alcohol limit. 24 hours is like downing half a bottle of scotch. Your reflexes are shot.
Blake: Regardless, they are still ahead of us.
Marc: I know, that’s why I plan to haul ass. We’ve got a full tank, and a good two to three hours of clear roads, I intend to make the most of it.

As 6 AM rolled around, the alarms started going off to wake the team up. It’d been planned in advance, but Luke was still not overly happy that everyone was planning on having the hotel breakfast in the morning.
However, he wasn’t about to complain about it, even if he knew Linda was going to drag breakfast out as long as she could just to avoid having to leave, even though it was a race.
The four of them met up in the breakfast lounge, where Amy and Linda could be heard swearing up a storm and getting everyone’s attention, even more than Luke’s metallic frame and blue paint.
“Those fuckers drove through the night!” Amy said angrily, looking at the GPS.
“We should’ve kept going.” Linda whined. This got her a pointed glare from Amy and Scott, and for Luke to stare at her.
“Says the bitch that decided to whine for 150 miles about wanting a hotel room.” Amy snapped.
“See, Linda, you complained and complained, so we took a 6 hour rest, and now we’re behind again. Now Luke’s gotta redline the car to get anywhere.” Scott said.
“Yeah, and we’ve still got Luke’s POI to do, a little wander around Bishop Peak.” Linda grumbled.
“Seeing as the three of you have gotten to enjoy two points of interest while I got to enjoy fixing the car to get us this far, I deserve a little gratitude. You made us stop for the night. If you’re really concerned about us being way behind, skip breakfast.” Luke said.
“No! I’m hungry.” Linda said.
“Then shut up and eat, we leave in one hour. And may the Devil give us wings, for we shall need them to catch the other teams.” Luke said.
Aftermath:
Team is awake, not yet moving.

#Team ‘Southend or Bust’
Original Post - Previous Post
The story so far: After a a night spent all in the same bed (a double-double, we should mention, because James felt too awkward about sharing one with Seb), the boys are on the road early in the morning and heading south…
With James behind the wheel and Seb on map duty, Martin was in the back of the car pouring over Google searches into ‘common problems’ with Erin Merna’s from this period, in anticipation for any problems today.
“Oooh, it’s 5:30am, the sun is about to appear from over the mountains!” announced James, readying his sunglasses.
“I’m pretty sure you’re in love with those things” said Seb.
“Trust me, I am” replied James. They were silver Aviator’s he’d got for his 18th birthday from his Mum and Dad, and there were less days than when he hadn’t worn them than when he had.
A bright ray of sunlight appeared from their left. “Boom! There it is” shouted James as everything began to brighten up rapidly, and he whacked on his glasses.
The boys were feeling confident today, but the trip was getting quite tiring. Still, they had one of the most amazing places in the world to drive through, and there was no denying how much they were looking forward to reaching Los Angeles.

Wow, Linda needs some serious character redemption here, she’s giving more that just her team the irrits

Keep in mind, she’s kinda the team troublemaker. She did something similar in the Roulette Runner, by breaking the radio because she didn’t get to listen to what she wanted.
In this case, she complained about needing to sleep, now she’s complaining that driving through the night would have made more sense. No win with her.

Team Bamford
2am - 4am
Jason was the last out of the motel, Phil had wrapped some leftover casserole (recipe still available on request) with potatoes and some of his American cheese in tin foil and stuffed it into the exhaust manifold. Simon and Phil rotated the tyres one last time and with ceremonial flourish (and groans of agony from the team) Phil once again demonstrated his fire dodging skills and the team was soon underway, with Jason taking on the driving duties as Simon was only just 18 and no-one was really sure if he could drive in America.
After Phil ran off quickly to say goodbye to his new-found friend, the team set off from the Motel, quickly heading towards the bright lights in the distance.
The miles passed easily and the team soon arrived in San Francisco, they were finally getting to the decent sightseeing points of the tour and it was with great joy that they crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.
“We actually made it!” said Ken, with a big grin on his face
“I said we’d make it, didn’t I” replied Phil, half asleep.
“And I’m not sorry that I doubted you”
Phil smiled, sitting upright and looking at the old man next to him.
“That’s alright Kenny boy” he said, slapping Kens knee “This baby only needs one person to have faith in her and she’ll take you to the moon and back!”
The went silent again for a little while, admiring the bridge and Phil only spoke again once they’d left the bridge and were winding their way into the Golden Gate park.
“By the way Ken, what made you think I was gay?”
4am-6am
After an awkward talk where Ken explained his reasoning behind Phil’s sexuality, the team continued onwards, heading to a refuel point at Half Moon Bay.
“So, are we gonna meet your Erwin Baker persona again?” said Jason, as they eased into the forecourt.
“No way, it was sheer luck that we got away from the last place” replied Phil
“Besides” said Ken “Most of the Cannonball Run people live on the east coast”
“Cannonball Run?” asked Jason
“The Erwin Baker Memorial Sea to Shining Sea Cross Country Race” replied Ken “Phil, no doubt during one of his walks around Seaside, made a network of old road racers and was trying to get us to LA as under the radar as possible”
“Why?” questioned Jason, as he hopped out of the car, leaning in through an open window as he pumped the fuel.
“Well” whispered Phil “We’d get done for bringing a 23 year-old import into America, it’s 25 or older, so we’re in trouble already, not to mention the whole issue with some of us probably not legal to drive here, I found a local hot-rod group and made a quick guide of places who’d keep our run secret”
“That was admirable of you” said Simon “Because that other team got pulled over and got arrested, they’d bury us under a jail with what we’re doing”
“Exactly” said Phil as Jason walked into the building to pay “We have to make certain that we make it, I’m taking this car back to London with me and I want us to make it to LA”
“And back to Petaluma to see your baby again” smirked Ken
“That may be a factor too, yes”
By this time, Jason had joined the team and they were off on the road again, for the next half hour until Santa Cruz, the trio pumped Jason for information about the night, where’d he go, why was he so late back, details man, details!
Phil smirked, recalling the evening “We went back to her place to play some games”
“Oooooh” came the collective reply “Like what?” continued Jason
“Hopscotch, Ludo, Connect Four and we jumped on her bed too”
“You played kid games?” came the flat response from Simon
“I’d say that jumping on a bed isn’t really a game, it’s more of a sport!” snapped Phil.
“I’m really starting to doubt your sanity” muttered Ken “Even more so than usual”

#Team Flaming Fart Cannon
##Day 2, 2-6pm
A half-mile walk, one rejected seafood joint (“You know I don’t like seafood”, Kai reminded Strop much to the latter’s endless bemusement), and two cigarettes later, the recently bereft duo stumbled upon Klamath’s Fuel Mart. Time for lunch, then, and other things, including absolutely destroying a certain plumbing system.
“Yeah nah, you probably don’t want to use these toilets,” Strop proclaimed, zipping his jeans up as he limped through the GENTS door, the barest whiff of noxious horse-fumes escaping as the door swung shut a potent portent to what lay beyond.
Kai wrinkled his nose. “Er, I wasn’t planning to.” He then took a long drag through the straw in his giant-sized something-something soda. “You aren’t having any more cheese are you?”
“Nah, I’m done.” Strop waved his hand and snorted. “Back to regular strength farts from me now.”
“Great,” Kai muttered, scooting a few feet further away from Strop’s seat.
Not exactly being tourists in tourist mode, there wasn’t an awful lot to do post lunch, but wander up and down the Klamath River bank, occasionally pausing to stare at some invisible point beyond the horizon. Strop rolled his jeans up and splashed in the shallows for a while, but as the minutes ticked by, the silence grew heavier.
Finally, his phone rang; the truck had arrived. They scrambled back to the 101 where a dusty, beat-up tow truck waited. The door swung open and out stepped a woman just as weathered as her old Chevy.
“Hi boys, I’m Deb,” she hollered, free of any preconceived notions of a Californian accent (Strop wasn’t sure what to expect anyway). “You the one with the car that needed an arrangement?”
Throwing a sideways glance at the listless Kai, Strop hurried across the road in order to engage his inside voice. “Yeah thanks for coming Deb. Can you get us somewhere we can conduct the, erm, service?”
“No problem, I got room for two, come on in!” Deb waved them into her cab. “Now where’s the vehicle?”
Kai didn’t even register when the truck pulled alongside the stricken Toothless. Deb, on the other hand, couldn’t help but chuckle. “Lordy, boys, were you tripping or were you tripping in that ride?”
Inside, Strop grimaced, but Kai was still staring vacantly. If he’d heard, he hadn’t really heard. “It’s a personal statement kind of thing,” Strop explained.
“I’ll bet, I’m not judging.” Deb pulled over and hauled herself out of the cab, surveying the wreck. “Every car has a story right?” Much shuffling and to-and-fro was had as the Chevy had to extricate Toothless out back end first, with some cringeworthy crunching of plastic bumper, before hooking back up to the front axle. That part of the job done, they were back on the road and headed for the nearest wrecker.
“So what’s yours?” Deb asked, to break the bleakness.
“Huh?” Strop snapped out of his daze.
“Your story. I mean… you’re clearly not from around here, and you don’t see car like that here, and I’m not talking about the paintjob.”
“Oh, that!” Strop glanced to his right, where Kai’s head was leaning on the window, shifting only when the truck crested a bump. “Yeah, we’re not from around here. We’re just on a Cannonball Run meets 24 Hours Of Lemons kinda thing.”
Deb laughed, a short, barking exhortation that matched her rough visage. “Ha! Okay, there’s definitely a story behind this.”
“Long story.” Strop glanced over again, and seeing Kai was asleep, kept going. “We’re from Australia, so is Toothless. Kai here has owned Toothless for a few years, but we knew it was time to let go, so we made him sell up and move on, especially when he started, er, customising. But I guess he was so fond of Toothless he wanted to give him a sendoff. Thing is, guys like us, we know adventures can get a bit, uh, hairy, but we wanted to do this proper, like, go out with a bang but, at worst, get deported you know?”
Deb raised an eyebrow. “Okay fair. But why here? I mean, it’s wrong-hand drive and all, getting that through TSA…”
“Oh yeah, well, first thing, this guy here,” Strop pointed at Kai, “Is a pro- has to travel a lot for work. We both do. And funnily enough the US is one place we don’t go through at all, so if we get banned from the US of A that’s not such a… problem. As for customs, that was a nightmare. Actually we weren’t running legally at all.” Strop chuckled. “I got the approval on the basis we were accredited to run in a stock car event and Toothless was supposed to ride there on a trailer. Except I tried doing this with five days’ notice, so we had to kind of use ‘alternative’ avenues and ‘a sum of money’ to get permission. And a lot of pointed questions from US customs when we rocked up. And best part yet, this guy here,” more pointing at Kai, “Already has a bit of a history with the TSA folks, so I actually registered Toothless under my name, so this time it was me copping four hours of questions in the office.”
By this point Deb was shaking her head, one hand rubbing forehead. “That’s something else. And a lot of trouble, just so you could drive a car until it broke down. Musta really loved that car.”
“Yeah. He’s a car guy through and through.” Strop ruffled Kai’s hair.
“I meant you, going to all that trouble for him.”
Strop blinked. “What? Oh! Yeah nah, he… deserves this much.” Strop trailed off and fidgeted, and the rest of the trip was shrouded in the silence of the thrum of the road.
Piles of fenced car corpses and spare parts greeted them at the wreckers. The truck stopped and Deb killed the engine, hopping out to greet the stereotypically grizzled bearded greasy coverall wearing man with a gut with an entire family in tow. This time, this was precisely what Strop had expected.
“If it isn’t my favourite delivery girl!” The man spread his arms wide.
“Clay! How you been you ole dog?” Deb exclaimed, exchanging customary hugs.
“Up to my ole tricks,” he laughed, before gesturing to his similarly proportioned wife. “Abbey, come fix our guests some lemonade while I take care of this business.” But Abbey was already on it, leading Deb into the office while openly and loudly chatting about Clay’s prostate problem.
“Huh? Wha-?” Kai mumbled as he was dragged out of the cabin by Strop. “Look alive, incoming!” He was bundled into the clearing where he immediately perked up, right before being swarmed by a gaggle of kids curious about his fire hair and matching jacket. Having saved himself just in time from the curiosities of being a horse guy, Strop was a bit relieved to take point and go over the arrangements with Clay.
“Thanks for accommodating our, er, request,” Strop opened.
“Not a problem,” Clay boomed, “We actually do these every now and then, especially for the unsalvageables. And yours,” he thumbed at Toothless, “Is just that. We don’t got no cars here with matching panels, engine, engine parts or any components at all really. And it’s wrong-hand drive. So yeah, just tell us what you need and we can get started.”
Strop realised that he wasn’t quite sure that he had everything, so he and Clay went to extricate a somewhat revitalised Kai from the gaggle, which had somehow latched to each and every one of his limbs. “Hey Kai, what else do we need for this Viking funeral thing?”
“Ohh,” Kai dusted himself off. “Well, I guess for a proper Viking Funeral you’d need some horses. And slaves.”
Strop and Clay boggled momentarily, before Strop recovered and glared at Kai. “Very funny. What do we really need, here, and now, that wouldn’t constitute a violation of people rights?”
“Let’s see.” Kai counted them off on his fingers. “Fire. Music. Alcohol, maybe. A possession to take to the next world.”
Strop produced a jerry can of petrol, Kai’s lighter, the UE Boom, a crate of beer, and Kai’s basic toolkit. “Done, done, done and done. Let’s do this thing.”
The scene was set. As the sun started to set off the West Coast, a makeshift pyre had been built, Toothless in the middle of it all, windows down. Along the edges of the clearing, Deb had decided to stick around, and the wrecking family were all here to witness the occasion. The kids loved a good bonfire, after all. To kick the service off, he started playing the first song on the playlist while passing around the beers (not for the kids, obviously.)
Strop finished dousing the interior with petrol, then placed the can inside. Kai came forward, placing his toolbox in the rear seat before retreating to his designated spot. Strop glanced at Kai, making sure he wasn’t looking, before fishing a pine-tree shaped air-freshener out of his pocket and slipping it in amongst the gifts.
“Sorry about gassing up your upholstery,” he muttered.
With preparations complete, he took out Kai’s lighter, before a wicked idea took form. “Hey, Kai, you want me to-” he pointed his butt end at Toothless, hovering the lighter suggestively.
Kai looked offended.
“Okay okay, sorry, not like I was gonna do it anyway,” Strop conceded. But as he straightened the thin keening of a strangled fart sneaked out from between his cheeks. Disaster thus narrowly averted, he stepped back and cleared his throat.
"We are here to witness the passage of Toothless, plucky Corolla and trusty mount of Kai Kristensen. I, uh, know we teased you for your foibles, and for what Kai subjected you to, but we also know you even ailed by age and illness, you served bravely and to the last. And Kai loved you so, as much as a guy can love a car without it becoming improper and spoiling the petrol.
“Your mortal coil may have broken, well, the front left one specifically, but your will lives on, strong and undaunted. Please accept these gifts, and take with you our gratitude, as we commend your spirit to the Valkyries. May they guide you to Auto, uh, Valhalla. Go now, and rest in peace.”
Having finished his speech, Strop set the pyre alight. The kindling had barely begun to burn when it caught on the petrol, and with a whoosh, Toothless was ablaze.
On the other side from the audience, Kai and Strop stood shoulder to shoulder, watching as the flames licked at the panels, peeling the paint, scorching the body, consuming the seats and the padding. Inexorably, the pyre began to collapse, folding upon itself, crumbling down while the sun vanished and the daylight fled, until there was nothing left to burn except ash and smouldering embers.
As one they tipped their beers on the ground. Exchanging a silent nod, they turned and walked towards the darkness. Clay and Abbey’s kids started chasing after the redhead, but was corralled by their parents and Deb. “Leave them be, that was their friend.”
Standing by the roadside, Strop fiddled with his phone, surreptitiously emailing Bianca the video he took of Toothless going up in flames. Aaaaaaaand send. She would be relieved. Kai would have been horrified, but he didn’t need to know. So he also deleted the video.
“Thanks, by the way.” Kai finally spoke a complete sentence.
Strop frowned. “For what?”
“For doing all this.” He vaguely gestured. “Stuff. And going to all that trouble.”
“It’s the least I can do dude, seriously” Strop shrugged, before muttering, “Shoulda known you weren’t actually asleep… Anyway. We’ve pretty much done what we came here to do, so what you wanna do now, Kai?”
Kai mulled it over. “Hire a car. Finish this thing. Get hammered.”
Strop punched some numbers into his phone. “Sounds good to me.”

Loving the flavor text - but I am truly sad to see Toothless go after such a valiant effort. I recall that in CSR17, you opted for a Cisalpina Scattante - but will that car ever replace Toothless?

Introduction | PreviouslySaturday 11pm - Sunday 2am
##Accidental Midnight BlissAt a motel near Redwood Valley, 11pm. Frank is still asleep, Da Wei who already wants to continue going tries to wake him up.
Da Wei: right. now. what’s a surefire way of waking him up that won’t end me getting slapped again……. huh. let’s give him some nightmares
whispers
My Darling
darling, wake up. come and see this
look at what i’m doing, i’m hanging these nice pictures
look at all these new bug painting collection i got from my friend. aren’t they amazing!
(Frank has some sort of phobia with bugs and the likes)
Frank starts to squirm on his bed
hey darling, here’s one of my favorite beetle that i used to play with when i was a kid. but it’s now been preserved, and it’s gonna be just as beautiful. FOREVERforeverforever….orever….ever……ever….ver
Frank is now tossing around on his bed. Da Wei still teasing Frank while sitting right beside his bed is holding his giggles in
darling, wake up and see this nature’s beauty. DON’T YOU JUST WANT TO KISS IT?
Frank: whimpering silently……p-p-please….
Darling. COME HERE AND EMBRACE THE NATURE’S GIFT TOGETHER….together……gether……ether……ther….ther
Frank: suddenly screams and woke up KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!
Frank rolled off his bed, towards Da Wei, Falling, headbutting, and pushing down on Da Wei in the process. it was but a flash of blanking out for a split second for both parties, only to realise they were kissing each other on the floor.
_Da Wei, which was already up and aware already, quickly realised what was going on, and wanted to push Frank off, but some why felt like he couldn’t move his body, and he actually didn’t feel disgusted by this, to his surprise. _
_ _
a few seconds later Frank finally realised what’s going up and instantly pushed himself off the ground.
Frank : BWAAGH i…. uh… i’m…… whispering and looking down sorry
both party have their face redder than a tomato by this point. and Da Wei is still stunned and speechless
Frank: let’s just act like this never happened. okay?
Da Wei, still stunned, and with his mouth still gaping open just gave a slow nod. his “LET’S PRANK BUT NOT GET SPANKED” plan instead gave him some “ACCIDENTAL BLISS FROM A KISS”.
both just silently packed their stuff and goes downstairs to check out from the hotel and keeping their distance from each other. but at the receptionist’s desk their face got red again, which only pronounces the possibility of misunderstanding by the receptionist. but at this point, everything is way too awkward and the are trying their hardest to just not care, while being obviously failing at it.
_ _
in the car
Da Wei: uhh. so……… the route and next check point frank?
Frank: Same as before. Heading south on Highway 101. Just with the difference that San Francisco is coming up.
Da Wei : right. let’s just hope there’s not much cops. i’m gonna be driving slightly over the speed limit, to catch some ground we lost.
Frank: yea. We shouldn’t see much traffic too, as it’s nighttime. I think sleeping in the afternoon was a good idea. We should be much faster through San Francisco than those who had to do it during the evening.
Da Wei : right.
In an awkward silence, both of them trying to forget what happened at the motel, they continued going south. Only the sound of the 80s high end class stereo blasting could be heard.
An hour later. They were driving through some hilly terrain that seemed more densely populated.
Frank: (humming) If youu’re gooing to Saaaan Fraaanciscooo
Two more bends in the road, this view came up
Frank: Wow. This looks even more stunning in real life as it does on the pictures.
… silence …
Frank: Well, we’re in San Fran. Let’s see if we can get something to eat.
Da Wei: uhh yeah. just find something that opens for….
a blaring bright open 24 hours sign came into view as they were talking
Da Wei : FUCKIN BUFFALO WINGS!!!
The car turned left as quick as it could. Then turned again to the parking space, and within seconds, when frank finally turned his head towards the driver seat, Da Wei is already closing the door and are already running in the diner.
Frank: (still getting out of the car) Hey, wait! At least lock the damn car, we’re now in San Francisco at night.
Da Wei stopped, only to throw the keys to frank. and by throw, i mean not the pass throw, but like baseball throwing throw. then continued running for the door of the restaurant
Da Wei : CATCH! see ya inside
_Frank tries to catch the keys, but only hurts his hand in the process, and the keys end up on the floor. After some Austrian swearing, he picks up the keys, locks the car and follows Da Wei into the restaurant. _
_ _
after Frank is finally inside the restaurant
Da Wei: one of Flame Bingo Wing, and 1 Buffalo Wing Burger, and 1 plain buffalo wing set, and 1 Buffal-on-a-waffle, and 1 large root beer. and some extra Hell’s leak Sauce. actually get me some poached eggs with that please.
Frank: A Buffalo Burger, some fries and a coke for me. After the waiter has gone You’re hungry, aren’t you?
Da Wei: even if i’m not, i’ll still stop here. it’s been literal ages since i came here. i think it was when i was like 8 yo maybe? before i was 10 that’s for sure. used to come here with my family. and i FUCKING LOVED EVERYTHING. you just can’t go wrong with anything you choose.
Frank: Oh, didn’t know you were here before. But good to know the food is as tasty. Let’s eat then.
Da Wei: yeah. my grandma used to live close to here, so like every time i visit her here, we ALWAYS go to this place. oh you don’t know how happy and surprised i am knowing that this place is still in business. but let’s just see if it is as good as i remember it being.
The waiter comes and delivers Frank’s food and some of Da Wei’s food, then comes back a few seconds later to deliver the rest.
Waiter: just to make sure, that’s everything you’ve ordered right?
Da wei takes a second to see the now full table before answering
Da Wei : yeah. that’s everything. thank you. now then.
Both of them start to eat, at a different pace. A single bite from the burger in Frank’s hand is a whole burger for frank. the second bite from Frank’s burger, and Da wei have annihilated half of another course. And after a while …
Da Wei: goddamn it is as good as i remember it. and then some, that Flame-Bingo one, i don’t think i’ve ever eaten one. except for the Buffal-On-Waffle. who thought spicy meat and sweet waffles would go well together. you enjoyed yours frank?
Frank: Yea, this place is actually good. Shame it’s so far from our home. You know some more stuff along our route?
Da Wei : uhh. not from the top of my head. but i think i’ll remember some when i see it. it’s all childhood memories after all.
Frank : Anyways, if you know a place where we should stop, let me know.
Da Wei : will do. btw Frank. what if you had done this journey with your fiancee? the situation right now is so nice. traveling the country together in a car, having the fun of your life. and now having breakfast together reminiscing on childhood memories. kinda…… romantic in a way isn’t it?
……………………….
Da Wei: oh fuck. no. please don’t get me wrong, i was not thinking that way. no. i was just spaced out. i have no intention of doing that again…… fuck, i should shut up, i’m just making it worse
The waiter who snapped up a few phrases from the conversation had to grin, and also Frank couldn’t hold himself while he turned red.
Frank: Let’s just go, okay?
He signals the waiter they want to pay, while Da Wei blushed again. After a few minutes, they go back to the car, and continue their journey.

As if Strop’s Extremely Detailed Flatulence Adventures weren’t enough, we’re now on the edge of entering the realm of full-on homosexual erotica, are we?

Well yours kind of started this thing rolling downhill and now after some, uh, crotch exploration, some very vivid farts and now we’ve reached a kiss as well. So what’s next?

A kiss? That was in someone else’s right?
I mean, we all get a bit gay when we’re drunk, wait, is anyone drunk yet?
Also vivid farts as a form of erotica, that’s really not my thing
Edit: now realise the kiss came from FrankNSTein. You can get to Brokeback! Woooooo!
