Also, if someone had deliberately broken a lamp as an act of rage in my house, you damn well bet my father would have kicked them out. Completely unacceptable.
It might just be me, but I felt it was weird for the bus to even stop at the gas station. Every field trip I was ever on, the bus never stopped for gas. I imagine if the bus had to refill, the driver did it while we were busy doing our field-trippy things. And I can't imagine them being too far from Neptune, just on the basis that Weevil happened to be at the random gas station.
That and I can't imagine Dick's father sending his limo all that far just so his son wouldn't have to ride the bus home from a field trip, though I'm not remotely rich so I could be wrong.
So I'm thinking it had to be someplace an hour or two away, tops, which makes the need to refill in mid-trip (and give the kids a chance to grab snacks, etc.) kind of strange.
I'd say pee break, but the bus was parked at the pump.

I remember it happening once or twice (in my youth) when a busdriver just didn't remember to fill the tank. It's unusual but not implausible.
Oh. My. God. Finally watched it.
That ending was ridiculous. This show really is all about the ratcheting it up a notch, huh?
Oh, by the way. If any of you were wondering what was in Lilly's spy pen, I found out.
Dude, P-C, I *just* watched that episode now. Thanks for the timely tidbit!
Interview with Rob Thomas in this week's
Time Out New York.
The interesting comment is at the end:
"The response of his peers has been equally gratifying. 'I got the nicest note from Joss Whedon, in which he said that he was such a fan of Veronica Mars that he now better understood the fervor of Buffy fans,' Thomas says. 'He grasps it now that he's on the other end. It's a heady feeling.'"

You're welcome! Now you don't have to be all annoyed when you wait for it to be mentioned in the finale and it's like it never existed.
And yeah, bon bon, Rob mentioned that in his mass e-mail, I think. Or Joss mentioned it somewhere, maybe. I forget.
