  1. "Don't lift your legs so high, Fatso".

    Why, that kid must have at least an extra 15 pounds on him...way to mentor the kid, Captain! The shame of that nickname will surely persuade to stop eating so much.

    (But don't stop eating delicious Tootsie Rolls. That would be, well...wrong.)

  2. I think "With utter disregard for HIS OWN safety" [emphasis mine] doesn't really describe the situation properly. The "Holy $#!% I'd better skip town before they tell their parents about this" look on his face when he says "No more stilt-walking out on the road!" is a bit more like it.

  3. You know, it just occurred to me: I think that's the same truck of manure that Biff Tannen crashed into.
