The single greatest vechicle known to man. Has been on the run for atleast 12 years. Also known as the "mission van" or the van to smoke "pot" in. Alcohol also acceptable in this vechicle. A friend to many.

A shoe company that started up back in the 1960's. They make skateboarding shoes that are relatively inexpensive and are generally comfortable. Originally worn exclusively by skaters, now every fucking Hollister and Abercrombie brat has the fugly checkered slip ons because they are fucking trendwhores who buy into whatever is "in". It's kinda ironic how they went from being lyk totally gangsta G dawg wearing Nikes and listening to 50 Cent to being lyk totally punk rawker and listening to Simple Plan.

Other than the fugly slip ons, Vans makes good shoes.
This what a compliment on someone's Vans should look like:

Dudeman #1: Hey dude, I like your Vans. Half Cabs?

Dudeman #2: Yeah, I bought them at Zumiez. Really comfortable shoes.


This is how the conversations usually go:

Heather: Ohh mah gawd Becky, I lurrvvv your checkered Vans!!!!!

Becky: I know, we are like so totally punk rawker!!!!

Heather: We should, like, go listen to like, Simple Plan!!!!

Becky: Yeah!!!! And after that we'll waste our parents' money on overpriced clothing at Hollister!!!!

Heather: Like oh my gawd totally!!!!

Van is a hard working mum and avoids the shoe like the plague. Her name is often short for Vanessa, because she hates that name for herself. Often a brunette and self conscious but beautiful. She has a strong opinion and loves all her kids.
Girl: wow, my mum is so amazing.
Boy: Well duh. She’s a Van.
