Get the Fast Times At Ridgemont High mug.An operation headed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, started in 2009. The ATF thought rather than arresting gun smugglers, they'd let the guns roam free like cattle, allowing smuggling to continue, gambling it would lead them to cartel bosses. Instead they lost track of over 2,000 guns which has been been linked to numerous murders in the US and Mexico.
This failure of an operation ironically later led to the deaths of US Border Patrol and and ATF agents.

Get the Fast and Furious mug.A game in which you order food in a drive through, and you have a friend wait somewhere just outside the car (a bush, behind a pole, ect.) and when your order is ready that friend sprints by and takes the food that is being handed to you. You and whoever else is in the car pretend that you have absolutely no idea who that person is and demand another order or your money back. You get twice as much food, or your money back.
John, Eric, Le'Qwonte, and Ian were hungry. They decided to go to Taco Bell and play Fast Food Football. After they ordered, John got out and then as the food was being handed to Eric he ran by and took the food as if it was a football. He then ran around the block.
