Lemme tell you Louis, a grim determined inactivity is harder on your body than some really mild activity. Plus, it doesn’t allow you to work out your frustrations.

Whoa. “I’m going to relax and noone can stop me,” or “This is my designated (or doctor ordered) rest period, and I will rest if it kills me.”

It’s easier than the pursuit of happiness.

Refusing to give into his bladder signals.

I dunno… sometimes you gotta fight for the right to be inactive and unsociable.

Try being named “Susan Sunshine” and having a reputation for unending cheerfulness…

Another satisfied DMV customer!xD

The face doesn’t fit the shirt!!!

Lounging is fun. And fun is good!
