Bleeb has his flag and is waving him on.

I think he forgot something, a wet suit that prevents hypothermia, perhaps.

Kinda looks like he strapped to his own personal ‘port-a-potty’.

Due to the curvature of the Earth, he’s either going to need a MUCH bigger starting pole, and he’s going to get very wet.

Um, that could work (?) … at least until the Port-A-Potty fills up …

Sorry but you’re not going to feed me that line.

I would not doubt that someone is going to try that before too long.

Rodney is from St. Louis, he has the spirit to do this, but somehow I don’t think the Lucky Vark nickname will catch on.

An interesting thought, and with cartoon physics maybe even possible. But if that’s a port-a-potty he’s got strapped to his back, I don’t think that’s particularly useful. I mean, he’s got a whole ocean to let loose in. The fish and whales do…

Good thing the Earth is flat!

How is he going to get into that port-a-potty when he needs to ?

Sadly at mid point the line snapped and the recoil did severe damage to both New York and London.

Good luck dude. Nice touch remembering the comfort facilities.

I envision Rodney zipping a long and a Great White leaping.

My question is how is he going to get from his seat into the port-a-pottie? And a second question arises. Why doesn’t spell check recognize “pottie”?

Doh. Forgot my passport.

Gee, what could go wrong?

It does seem far-fetched, but then how about an elevator to the Moon! Not a joke. Even that wonderful news agency cough cough NBC covered it.

must be a flat earther

What if someone is trying it from the other end? Gee, I hope they communicated the correct days and times.

Bleeb is waving the Union Jack.

He’s going to meet some nice Great White Shark on his little journey…

@Enigmamz that’s what you got out of this? Just that? lol

shouldn’t post things like this…someone will try it

Same Rodney from Wizard of ID? Maybe but that’s a stretch
