Billy: *Sad* Joe! Chester Bennington (singer of Linkin Park) and the Dad from Home Alone (John Heard) died just today. They were my childhood!
Joe: *Squinting with a smirk* Yeah, well, you never talked about John Heard before. I bet you never even knew his name until you saw that social media link. And just two days ago you said you hate Linkin Park's newest albums, and that the band sucks!
Billy: *Denying it* I never said that! What I really meant was...
Joe: Nevermind. It's the Chester Bennington Effect . Two days ago, everyone except for LP fans stopped talking about him or instead hated him. Only after he died was when people grieved about the loss of the singer of their previously-unspoken-about childhoods.

Get the Chester Bennington mug.A "West Chester Hot Potato" is the act of passing the bowl out the window to the person in front of you and then they pass it to the driver through the sun roof and then the driver passes it out of the window to the back passenger in order to keep the bowl out of the car, in order to do a no smell lift off. There are many variations to this motion such as the :
1. (Starting With Driver) Right, Right, Right
2. (Starting with Driver) Left, Left, Left
3. (Starting with driver side passenger) Up, left, left
When you have the bowl and your passing it you scream as loud as you can "Hot Potato En Route" in an astronaut voice then the person that receives the bowl responds "Hot Potato Recieved" to ensure a no drop transaction. Make sure everybody in the car knows when the bowl is coming back in the car by yelling "Hot Potato coming back to base!" so that everyone knows to be careful to not spill the weed.
