I Fucking Hate
Catalina
26 miles across the sea — and somehow not one of them worth it.
How It Started
Five friends at a bar. A trip to Catalina nobody really wanted to take. Then one of them stood up, finger guns out, and spent the next hour explaining — with total conviction — exactly how much he hates the place. Nobody saw it coming.
A true story, allegedlyFlew first class from Chicago

Hard passThe Bison
There are bison, and they've been documented swimming for the mainland. Even they want out. Follow the bison.
