The Worst Things in Life are also Free
School's out for summer, and that means no more Meatloaf Thursdays, Sunday homework cramming, or teachers (way way unsucessfully) trying to act cool.

It's the best kind of teamwork: when a whole bunch of people work together to do something wrong, instead of doing wrong one at a time.
