Evan Bishop is a nerd that lives in my suite.

To his dismay many other people show up when he types his name into search engines. This one Evan Bishop in particular has the rankings all tied up with TWO sites listed, see here and here.

That's a bit greedy.

The real Evan Bishop will not stand for this. A mustachioed E.B. must rank for this name.

Can I See Your Parking Permit?

I thought I was having a bad day. Things started to look up when the ticket on my car was just a warning, but then things looked really good in comparison to this auto enthusiast.

"A girl misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome until dawn.

An extraordinary chemistry made of knowing glances and small gestures fills the few instants that separate them both from the sunrise."

The cop was out of this shot, I guess he stepped behind the truck for a second, so I have added a lifelike representation of him for reference.

Watch out the college kids are attempting science.
