[It's up to the first poster to come up with a set up, and then each following post will either complete it or fill in the blank(s). And, as always, whoever posts the set up is certainly allowed to post their own completion/fill in as a follow up.]

"found a place for his gum"

"did a quick search for ticks"

"became disgusted to notice a rattail hanging from the hair"

...hawked a big one...
