Getting a bike in this shot would have been quite a fiet.

Only fiet is not a word. It's fiets

There are lots of things that aren't words, not just fiet.

Ah! This is good stuff. People just missing out on this good stuff here. The Dutch would love this show, by the way.

We actually got a show based on whose line is it anyway, it's called "De Lama's'.

It's not as good as wliia, at least in my opinion.

This sounds vaguely like a switcharoo.
Like a grammatical switcharoo.

Nice.

So what you're saying is...doctors are phonies that are only out for money, which is really a direct result caused by the greediness of capitalism and the bourgeoisie, meaning we need to seize the means of production and distribute wealth equally for a better society?

Or maybe, "I will love you forever, my sweet."

There probably is; I fully expect at least 2-3 submerged wrecked bikes, that is a good sized pond there.
