Plot

The plot involves Charley recounting the story of his vacation to his co-workers. For his vacation, Charley and his family drive to California....and it ends up everything but a "vacation".

Laurel and Hardy cameo

At the start of the journey they consider taking on hitchhikers and see Stan and Oliver on the side of the road thumbing a lift (both, however, are thumbing in opposite directions until Hardy notices, slapping Laurel). Oliver is sitting on some luggage and Stan is standing, holding an umbrella. Charley remarks that they look like horse thieves, drives by and scratches the top of his head in the same way that Stan does in all of his films. They appear on screen for 13 seconds.

Cast

gollark: Like the thread-local garbage collected heaps.
gollark: I'm using Nim quite extensively now, which is nice apart from some weird quirks.
gollark: I just remain slightly dissatisfied with all programming languages in existence, it's great.
gollark: The entire language is stacks of accursed mold, apart from some recent nice things like destructuring.
gollark: I mostly use JS because I can quickly write slightly horrible code in it, and browsers.
