Saving Private Earl

Where was Earl coming from with his Saving Private Ryan piece?

Did that poor young innocent snake remind him of the landing of the first wave of soldiers on Omaha Beach during WWII?
I like to think that he thought the snake was Tom Hanks and he was chopping him up for You've Got Mail.
Anyway, he goes on to say: "Snakes are misunderstood"...and then chops him up and says "now there is an understanding...".
Well I am lost and don't understand. Explain.

The Finding of the Pineapple
I love the way Erica just casually finds the pineapples behind a bush. It was a great piece of camerawork. She was so hungry she was beyond starvation, and then she goes and finds pineapples. Lovely. I was so moved. I paused the tape and watched it again.

Did you know that pineapples help to induce childbirth when a baby is overdue? So those could come in handy; Earl wanted to marry her and, well, the next step is babies, so here's to pineapples.

So Vicious It's Delicious
Yeah, it's tough tittie that Erica had to go. If she just kept her head and hair together she'd still be in the game: the heat was on and she could not stay cool under pressure (p= F/A).

This kind of thing happens every day. Those unexpected moments when the adrenalin starts to pump and sweat starts to flow, and then it's panic stations. If she used Sure deodorant instead of licking leaves and finding placed pineapples, there would have been no yelling and screaming, and the puzzle piece might have fit in. Sure is so sure, it won't let you down: hence they would of winning the task.
(I am not saying Erica is smelly by the way, just that she panicked, and this made her sweat, and scream. And, well, if we cut out the sweat then there'd be no screaming, and the team would of winning.)
