Taco Bell sends kids to college
Who would’ve known?
I think I’m one of 3 people on Tumblr who is watching the NBA All-Star Game festivities. I just saw the Skills challenge and each player was seated next to a young kid who looked like they were in high school.

[And no, I am not going to rob a hospital or pharmacy]
