The principal of my small-town high school heard kids talking about pump jack parties. He thought we were going out to a pump jack to get drunk and ride the pump jacks. Apparently, in his day, that’s what kids did. He brought in a guest speaker from a local oilfield company to talk to the senior students about the dangers of doing that.
We were dumbfounded by the talk because none of us had ever thought to ride a pump jack. What we called a pump jack party was just when a specific couple parked their car in the country to have sex.
Older people in the community have since confirmed that riding pump jacks was indeed a thing.


For me it’s the idea that by interacting with social media I’m working to generate profit for a billionaire-led company.


I’m waiting for a used EV. I’ve never bought a new vehicle and have no desire to.


Look at all those fake app ratings and reviews on the Google Play Store. I wonder how much that cost.
That’s hilarious! Imagine being this weak and pathetic.
