Remember when I told you about how HungryMan was flinging our friend, Johnny through the water like Indiana’s bull whip. I witnessed this harrowing event through the lens of our video camera. The jetski-dragging-tubing-fool footage has been hiding out our computer for weeks due to the very poor camera work (me).
What can I say? I was so worried that I was witnessing Johnny’s lasts moments on earth that I forgot to zoom in. I apologize.
So just in case you think that I make up all of the HungryMan’s antics for good blog fodder, here’s your proof in miniature:
And lest you think HungryMan reserves this water torture for dudes only, let me direct you to Exhibit B.
Three years ago, we invited HungryMan’s old roommates from House Fridley and their ladies to come down to the lake. We celebrated HungyMan’s 28th birthday with high-speed boating, piles of burgers, grilled peaches, and a little game he likes to call, “shake ‘n’ bake.”
It’s LOVE in any language.
We are headed down to the lake with the nearly the same gang this morning to celebrate HungryMan’s 31st birthday.
Fortunately for me and my lungs the jetski went into early retirement this spring.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
This post is done, why are still scrolling down? Oh, you want more HungryMan jetski action? You want to see the full version of the Shake ‘n’ Bake video, don’t you? Fine. Here it is.

Hhmmmrr, I am not “allowed” to view videos here at the hospital, as the internet filters are set pretty high, BUT I am SO glad to hear the video (and others, it seems!) is up and am looking forward to seeing it eventually!! I know my husband will be SO glad to see this, too.
Aren’t you glad you DIDN’T witness Johnny’s last moments on earth? Me, too.
I got your message…and emailed you back…so….I might see you briefly today?
Should I assume that’s you shrieking on the JetSki?
Looks like fun! Have a great time!
I can’t even watch the video, it brings me back to the sheer terror I experienced first hand from HungryMan a couple summers ago at Okoboji:)
As Hungry Man’s mother, I need to tell you that ignorance is bliss. I am SOOO happy that the jetski is retired! PLEASE don’t tell me he has found something else to endanger his life!!
I watched this video with Moses. He doesn’t have a very large vocabulary yet, but after watching in rapt silence he said, “Guy! Boat! Wooooaah!” I think that means he wants a jetski.
yikes! looks like fun though!
