Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 20, 2022

And he chased The Bandit once.

Did he learn that from Barry White?

I don’t think I want to think about sexy bears.

Only if he sounds like Barry White (aka The Walrus of Love)!!!

Can’t be Chris Norman he’s on the other side of the pond

Let’s go with that.

Or maybe it is his pack-a-day habit.

As a former broadcaster, every time I hear the Forest Service PSAs, I put on my best Sam Elliot voice and follow along… “Only you can prevent wildfires.”

Goodness Smokey, is it you or is it hot in here? You can light my fire anytime baby.

Where there’s Smokey….

“Hey, Babe! Wanna come back to my cave and see my bare rug?”

Are they in Smokey Joe’s Café?

Smokey, you’re not supposed to be starting fires.

“Actually, it’s because it takes a group effort to put out my fire.”

Let’s get it on.

He drinking but he not smokeying.

“Hey Babe, wanna do the Smokey Pokey”

When Smokey sings, she hears violins.

That would be preferable over “because of his smell”.

Looks like a fire is smoldering.

Cute!
