1. My favorite Beavis & Butthead episode ever! Buttniks. Crrrrappuchino, a rrrrap-pa-pa-pa-pa-pah! 2. My freshman year of college, me and two of my dorm neighbors used to eat a bunch of Pixie Stix and drink Mountain Dew, then run around the dorm halls with our shirts pulled up over our heads, acting like Cornholio. 3.
