Last bus home

Pillow Academy graduates and Mississippi State University students JC Garrard, Brock Makamson, Hayden Pillow and Hayes Bennett bought a school bus and turned it into the ultimate hangout spot on wheels. The interior is outfitted with three couches, a TV, an air conditioning unit and two bunk beds. (By Johnny Jennings, Copyright 2025 Emmerich Newspapers, Inc.) It’s almost like something straight out of a movie. Four former high school buddies buy a school bus, turn it into the ultimate hangout spot on wheels and hit the road in search of good times. Their destination — of course — is Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, the home of one of NASCAR’s most iconic races, screaming V-8 engines, and a rowdy party scene. None of them had ever bought a school bus, much less driven one a long distance with their best friends along for the ride. What could possibly go wrong? Well, thankfully nothing. It wasn’t a Hollywood script, it was just an unforgettable week in the month of October for Pillow Academy graduates and now Mississippi State University students Brock Makamson, Hayden Pillow, JC Garrard and Hayes Bennett. Last summer, the group bought a school bus, previously in service for the Grenada School District, and remodeled the inside for more casual seating. With the bus procured and outfitted, a gang of 10, including six other friends from State, hit the road to experience an event Garrard called “uniquely American.” “It was interesting, but we had a lot of fun,” said 20-year-old Garrard, who is studying agriculture at State. The trip, though, went just as planned. No crazy side mission that created a funny storyline. The crew had an uneventful drive down there and back in the bus, which is really the star of the show. The whole thing got started when

If it was still around (he has a Poundland poem instead.)Not into the Daily Mail.Not into Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins.Into spreadsheets, post-it notes, anagrams, forms and lists.Into the sound of lorries and ice cream vans.Probably an ex-stand up comedian.Twitter’s poet laureate.Scribbling away on public transport as you read this.Like that mate of yours that enjoys anecdotes over a pint.A nightmare to translate into other languages as his poems are so very English.Well attuned to the plight of refugees.A good gift for that mate of yours that’s scared of poetry.Good at poking fun at modern day life in Britain.Self-deprecating.Perhaps a pseudonym or even a collective.Enamoured of punch lines.Well-versed on daytime telly.Better than me at making listed items rhyme.472 reviews20 followersMarch 20, 2020I want to put my review in verse,Although that thought is quite perverse.My poetry skills are not the best,As anyone would soon attest.Bilston's stanzas are clever and witty,More erudite than the average ditty.My opinion? (And my wife agreed it.)Just find a copy. Buy it. Read it!The only time I have bought and read a book of poetry of my own free will! You may well have seen his poems shared on Facebook and Instagram, and if you haven't then you really ought to find and subscribe. Often topical, always entertaining. This book is a nice compilation of his work.18 reviewsMarch 29, 2023This is the only collection of poems which I've ever enjoyed readingAuthor 6 books34 followersJuly 3, 2023Made me genuinely laugh out loud several times. Enormously creative and often poignant, too. The poem "Refugees" is a work of genius.September 7, 2024Brilliant book of poetry - some very funny - all clever and different in a good way.Author 6 books12 followersDecember 30, 2021I've seen the shorter poems of Brian Bilston appear on my Facebook wall and enjoyed them. Now that I've picked up You Took the Last Bus Home, I can safely say that he is one of my favourite modern poets.Bilston has a sense of humour and wordplay much like my own. Focusing on everyday things like public transport, the books you find in holiday cottages and the Daily Mail, he always finds something wonderfully cheeky to say that is also right on the money. He genuinely seems like a poet who always keeps a pen and paper handy in case of inspiration, which he finds everywhere.Not only this, I admire how he plays with other forms for poetry. This ranges from the orderly Excel spreadsheet to the more tactile Scrabble tile formation. Some of his verse is keen on smaller wordplay such as anagram and palindrome which I found delightful if not quite as nourishing as the longer verse.You Took the Last Bus Home is a poetry collection for the everyman and I'm glad it's reached far and wide via social media. Say what you will about Facebook and Twitter, they remain useful promotional tools for honest talent. I recommend You Took the Last Bus Home to readers who like their verse light and fun but

Have started well stocked, his supplies did not last long. He left a large bag of rice in his abandoned car but was able to live resourcefully. When his body was discovered, Christopher had some books, a camera, his diary, the sleeping bag he was found in, and his rifle – which Carine didn’t even realize Christopher owned. His journal also indicates that he brought a sack of rice and a compass, but no maps. Among his books were Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and some more commercial books written by Louis L’Amour and Michal Crichton. He Could Have Alerted a Group Nearby With a Fire but Chose Not ToStampede Trail. Credit: Unusual PlacesBus 142 was located along the Stampede Trail, which is a road and trail in the Denali Borough in Alaska that starts from the George Parks Highway. Though Chris left a note on the bus door, he did not do anything else to draw attention to his situation. The bus was not near any flight plans, but he could have lit a fire that would have been seen from the nearby town from Healy, or nearby hunting camps. Carine, his sister, contends that he wouldn’t have started a fire because he would never risk burning down a forest to save his life. Bus 142Hikers take a break near Bus 142. Credit: Wikimedia CommonsBus 142 is an abandoned 1946 bus along the Stampede Trail near Denali National Park. It was initially one of a small number of buses used by a construction company to provide remote accommodations for the construction crew from Fairbanks that worked on the road upgrades between 1960 and 1961. The bus engine was removed, and beds and a wood-burning stove were placed inside the bus instead. When the Stampede Mine closed in the 1970s, all but this one bus were removed, as this bus had a broken rear axle. It now serves as a back-country shelter for passing hunters, trappers, and visitors. It is also a landmark for anyone interested in the Chris McCandless story. The Trail to the Bus Washed Out Before He Could Get Back HomeThe Teklanika River Credit: Outside MagazineOnce Chris decided to go home, he set out to take the trail from Bus 142 to the main park entrance. Chris soon discovered the Teklanika River was overflowing with glacier melt and was completely uncrossable, so he turned back intending to wait until the water would decreased. Unfortunately, Chris did not realize that there was another way across the river. If he had traveled upstream, he would have seen better options ahead. Had he been a more experienced hiker, he would have also known to try to traverse the river in the
