Two 5-Year-Old Russian Boys Tunneled Their Way Out of Preschool to Buy a Sports Car
These kids dug a hole under the fence surrounding their preschool using toy gardening tools. It took them a few days… a few days.
Sure, they may have evaded the teachers and risked their safety, but on the bright side, for 5-year-olds they sure have a lot of patience. My boys get upset if a project takes longer than 10 minutes.
Not only did these two boys hatch an elaborate caper—and, oh yes, this definitely qualifies as a caper—once free of the confines of the school grounds, they walked more than a mile to a Jaguar dealership.
5-year-olds. Walked a mile. For a Jag.
Nicely done, comrades. Nicely done.
What are some of your guilty pleasure movies? - For the record I am totally not guilty about Twilight - Team Edward for life ;)
Like you, I’m one of those people who don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you love something, why feel guilty about it, right?
The one movie that most would consider a guilty pleasure, but I proudly profess loving is Xanadu. I can recite every line, sing every song, and I even have the soundtrack on vinyl.
Really, though, how can anyone not love this film? It has:
Rollerskating mythological musesE.L.O. musicGene Kelly
Olivia Newton-JohnThat guy from The WarriorsAn animated sequence by Don Bluth (who went on to direct films such as The Secret of NIMH, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and Titan A.E.)
An unabashed shopping montage
The only way this movie could be any more ‘80s is if it had a cameo by Ricky Schroder. Seriously, people. If you haven’t seen it, get your eyes on this film.

Watch the ever loving shit out of it.

Had a great Labor Day with these folks—cartoons, good food, skating, tennis, more good food, two different playgrounds, and an impromptu piano concerto. And we missed all the holiday traffic heading home, too.
