The Snorkelling Scarecrow Story:
"This is me (The Snorkelling Scarecrow) and Scarlett, I snorkelled out of the drain, that is what I am sitting on and why my hair is pink. I am no longer on Horseshoe Bay Road as some handsome highly intelligent person court my eye and now I am busy traveling the universe.
I've had I few dates. It all started at the Full Moon Party when I shake my toosh until the wee hours of the morning and end up at the bus stop where some nice local helped me find my way home.
The next weekend I was seen arm in arm with a bloke on the way to the beach front, it was a cold night and I feel he took a liking to my jumper as I was spotted canoodling on the beach, but amazing I was helped home were I was repaired, (minus my hair).
But my favourite passtime is to scare the local dogs, (the white small one are the easies to scare), thus avoid being urinated on. Bon-voyage!" - The Snorkelling Scarecrow
