    My greatest comedic moment came on the bus to DC in 8th grade. Ace Ventura was on, and right when the bed starts shaking in this scene:



    I yelled “why are they fighting?” in a high-pitched voice. It brought the house down. Kids were howling, chaperones and teachers were snickering, and the middle school director came and got me and made me sit next to her for the next ten or however many hours while all my friends touched boobs in the back of the bus.

    One time I saw a Chevy Cruze in downtown Portland with a tow hitch that had been installed by cutting a square out of the bumper and welding it to the frame, and it had metal balls hanging from it. That guy ruled

    The first car I bought on my own out of college was a 2014 Chevy Cruze. Given how little I drive I’d probably still have it if it had CarPlay

    this was a tik tok trend for ladies a year or so ago. they'd cover their body in body paint and imprint that onto the canvas.

    Almost sold my 2017 Elantra and kept my wife's 2016 since it was paid off when she wanted to get a bigger car after we started having kids a couple years ago but the lack of CarPlay was a dealbreaker. Paid off mine this month and plan on driving it until it doesn't make financial sense to repair it.

    Thinking back on it now it is pretty wild. We had like 4 buses full of 10-11 year olds with like an 8/10-1 teacher/chaperone to kid ratio. Gone for a week multiple states away with no communication with our parents

    Taking 5th graders to a major city as an overnight school field trip is probably the dumbest idea ever.
