Passing by, Max suggests egging John's apartment, failing to realize that will just provide him with the ingredients for a delicious meringue.

Someone suggests getting a bag at CVS. Max says no. Kai: "Are you really too cheap to buy a seven cent bag?" Me: "Maybe he just wants to save the environment." Max: "Of course I care about our planet, I'm a committed globalist."

Max, dismayed, realizes he has no small bills with which to pay the toll. "Why would I carry singles? We're not going to a strip club before nationals."

Kai: "When naming the group chat, does the '+' in B+ go before or after the 'B'?"

Max: "After - how the hell do you not know this?"

Kai: "I haven't had a grade that high in a while."

After reading a spurious post in the SoCal Quizbowl Facebook group, we pulled over on the side of the highway to watch a promised Columbia Quizbowl hype video featuring Ben Zhang. Sadly, the video was only a link to Usher's hit single "Yeah."
