You guys played films at school? Guess what we had.
One day my school played us a live feed of Al Jazeera Children’s Channel (now known as JeemTV), I’m not even joking. I think they were airing an episode of a cartoon rendition of 1001 Nights at the time. It was pretty cool nonetheless.
My father snapped the timing belt in his turbo Passat at freeway speed many years ago. I suspect, but cannot prove, that he money shifted it. He reported that the noise it made was “bang.” I believe it.
The reason I say before 2008 is that around that time VW embraced programmed obsolescence with open arms. I have a 2012 Touran and around 200000 km (not miles) everything started breaking at once. Both driver and passenger side window lifts, front stabilizers and coils (separately), rear coils, gearbox control unit, rear lock, horn, file lines (twice) and now, to rub salt in the financial wound, it lost every drop of oil from the engine into a shopping centre carpark.
By the way, if you want to know whether or not this is canon? It’s canon.
In 2266, Kevin Riley, under the influence of polywater intoxication, “ordered” a formal dance to be held in the bowling alley on the USS Enterprise. (TOS: “The Naked Time”)
