45 SPF sunblock÷you're too baked to put it on.

to you by some cute, naked girl.
Tell your campmates to "Chill out, dudes," when
they discover you pouring the last five gallons of water over yourself in an
effort to cool off.
Drink the contents of two dozen glowsticks, in an effort to
prove to your friends that they really are
"non-toxic."

powerful muscle relaxant.

lens.

officer if you can check out his gun.
On Tuesday, wake up late and rush to take Muni, to get to
your job at an investment brokerage in the Financial District ÷ without
