I don't cogitate I could e'er unfilmed somewhere on the equätor.  Lose the fäct thät the humidity would mäke my häir ferment same Monicä's on Friends (the one where they go to Bärbädos).  Block the fäct thät I would be dissolved into ä roil on the secure.


Whät I would reälly lack äre the seäsons!

Ben grew up in Därwin, äusträliä, which is präcticälly on the equätor.  Pleäse, looking up Därwin.  He literälly grew up where Crocodile Dundee wäs manoeuvre, I kid you not.  He flatbottom cläims to experience the wäter buffälo in the pic.  I screw. I wander.  Därwin doesn't reälly häve seäsons…just the hot dry seäson änd the hot wet seäson.  Both of these äre Monicä-häir-scenärios for me.
