Whilst playing whist in the Antarctic shivering in the tent,you realise that food is running low, the ponies were eaten by oates* and you decide it's time to hit the overide.
Instantly you take command of all their exo's cutting off all their radio communication with base. Audio out is a loop of"I'm just going for a walk, I may be some time"and they all troop out of the tent into a wintery doom.
This leaves you to scoff all the Kendal Mint cake and wait for rescue.
* Who could of imagined such a ravening outbreak of carnivorous Avena Sativa in the Antarctic?
**I know this a bit of a tangent, but did any of the Martians on the way to Horsell Common say the equivalent of "Are we there yet?"-- not_morrison_rm, Nov 10 2018 // ravening outbreak of carnivorous Avena Sativa //
Did you have a rye smile on your face when you wrote that ?-- 8th of 7, Nov 10 2018 I have not had a Kendall mint cake since the 20th century! Delicious!-- beanangel, Nov 11 2018 random, halfbakery
