Shermy and Charlie Brown struggle to stand on the ice in their skates. Shermy says,"Watch it!"
Shermy says,"Oops!" as he starts to fall. A shaky Charlie Brown says,"Careful!"
He falls down next to a fallen Shermy.
He sits up and says to a kneeling Shermy, "Let's jump over barrels!"
I don't get this one.
Think it's referring to Barrel jumping, and the joke is that they prematurely think they're ready to do a highly-skilled activity.
Wow, that's quite a sport. It seems they really didn't care how they landed, and it was all about distance. I found a video from the '90s, but it looks like it has fallen out of popularity since then.
Seems a lot like long jumping, neat. Might have to see if there's any way to try it out near me
Except you land on ice instead of sand. If you try it, please give us a report on the status of your butt and tailbone afterwards.
