<br />
=Quotables=<br />
<br />
*"Anime is for dumbs." - [[Alex]] during a mock-debate with [[Taka]] over Xbox One vs. Playstation 4 while using vocal jamming technology. This challenge took place near the end of Jer's shift. The end result was that the two sounded alternately as though they were intoxicated or parodying internet hate wars, the latter of which Alex embraced. The phrase caught on in the chat, who posted meme images and applied "for dumbs" to other situations as well as simply repeating the original phrase.<br />
<br />
=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
;"Woah chat. Such doge. Wow."<br />
:check back later bro<br />

;"Silica Gel"<br />
:Chat became enraptured with Silica Gel from the N7 giveaway during the end of Cam's shift<br />

=Flush Count=<br />
<br />
With the setup for Desert Bus for Hope 7, the piping in the moon base was set close to the microphone for the driver camera. This resulted in the flushing of the toilet in the Moonbase being quite audibly heard within the stream, and commented on - which the Chat quite obviously latched onto early.<br />
<br />
While initially it had been set up so that those in the moon base would be keeping track of this, this soon ran awry as the counter they had only went up to 6. Following this, a shared online spreadsheet would be made, and elaborated on to a excessive degree. Some of the more unique peculiarities of this would end up being:<br />
<br />
*Total Flushes<br />
*Average Flushes per hour<br />
*Value per flush<br />
*Flushes per hour per person<br />
*Gallons Flushed<br />
<br />
This would all accumulate to the "Flush King", a title awarded to the driver during which the most flushes occurred. For DBFH7, this was <Name><br />
<br />
Additionally, other stats would be recorded on this as well, such as:<br />
<br />
*Things Knocked Over<br />
*Chat Crashes<br />
*Dance Party Button presses<br />
*Math Fails<br />
*Feed Crashes<br />
<br />
Which were not necessarily as tracked as well as the flushes during the course of the event.<br />
<br />
=Desert Bus Picks the NFL Winners=<br />
<br />
As in previous years, Desert Bus for Hope began on a weekend during the U.S. Football (NFL) season and this year, it was Cam's turn to predict which team would win and why. These decisions were made knowing nothing about the teams playing other than their team names. A U.K. viewer named Jamie then bet £1.00 GBP (about $1.67 USD) on each game and said that he would donate all of his winnings. As of Monday evening, LRR's final record was 6 wins, 2 losses, and X ties, raising $X.00 (rounded up) for Child's Play.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

<br />
=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
* At 11:47 pm on November 23rd, the Desert Bus chat became self aware.<br />

:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />

<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest [[Ken Steacy]].<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"Who is Pika?"<br />
:A steady stream of Pikafans in the chat would shout out to her at frequent intervals. This lead to a rash of "Who is Pika?" questions from the uninitiated. This was turned into a the Pika Drinking Game - one drink for every "Who is Pika?" in the chat. <br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

==Background==<br />
<br />
The cast agreed to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Bus#Desert_Bus Desert Bus] for an hour for each increment of money donated - the amount necessary increased by seven percent each time the increment was reached. So the first hour would require one dollar to be donated, the second a dollar seven, and so on. The money earned went to the charity [http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ Child's Play] which provides video games, toys and books to children's hospitals all over the world.<br />
<br />
Desert Bus generates a lot of its own tropes and terminology that pass from year to year. You can find explanations and origin stories for many of these in the [[Desert Bus Lexicon]].<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 1]]==<br />
22nd November 2007, 6:00 pm PST<br />
<br />
[[James]], [[Paul]], [[Morgan]] and [[Bill]] played a total of 108 hours raising $22 805 dollars for Child's Play. Bussing ended at 6:35 am PST, on the 28th of November 2007.<br />
<br />
The first annual Desert Bus marathon included several noteworthy events.<br />
<br />
* Penn, Teller, and Eddie Gorodetsky (one of the producers of Desert Bus) called the cast during the first evening of playing and donated $500 each. <br />
<br />
* Eddie Gorodetsky offered to donate $500 if James (the first player) would "take a dive" seventeen minutes into the first run. James accepted, and let the bus be towed back to Tuscon.<br />
<br />
* There were donations of Subway sandwiches, chocolates, and pizza from various general individuals including Teller himself.<br />
<br />
* The original donation goal of five thousand dollars was met before the first shift was complete.<br />
<br />
* In the "taking a dive" vein, several people made requests of the cast in exchange for a donation of a specified size - for example, Bill drank an entire carton of eggnog, and James played the game while upside down for nearly fifteen minutes. Matt raised $75 by drinking a "Nog Bomb", that being a shot glass of egg nog, dropped into half a pint of Colt 45. Paul offered to shave his beard in exchange for a single donation of $5,000. <br />
<br />
*Morgan stated that he would do a single Whatever Thing update for each $200 donation recieved for that purpose. None were made.<br />
<br />
*Three "upside-down girls" bussed a couple times for a grand total of $450 ($100 each the first time and $150 for TWO upside down girls and a PS3 the second)<br />
<br />
* James married Dark_Realm in an online wedding. <br />
<br />
====2007 Trivia====<br />
<br />
Penn, Teller, and Gorodetsky learned Paul's cellphone number by calling his mother earlier in the day.<br />
<br />
During one of the calls, Teller had a brief conversation with a half-asleep Morgan, who told him to "Fuck off". Morgan did not realize that it was Teller.<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 2]]==<br />
Desert Bus for Hope 2008 was formally announced at the gathering of LRR fans at PAX 2008, and to the world in the "'Movie' Movies Movie" podcast. However, it had been mentioned and informally announced on the forum, in the podcast, and on the Desert Bus website for many weeks previously. According to the information in the podcast, Desert Bus 2008 would have taken place in a Seattle hotel and feature several guest appearances and drivers.<br />
<br />
On November 18, 2008 '''Desert Bus for Hope 2: Bus Harder''' was officially announced. James, Bill, Morgan and [[Jer]] started busing on November 28 at 6 pm PST inside their [[LRR Orbiting Underground Bunker |moonbase]]. They finished at 11:00 pm PST December 3rd, having bused for 5 days, 5 hours, and 5 minutes, and raised $70,423.79.<br />
<br />
Let us repeat that. Seventy thousand, four hundred and twenty-three dollars and seventy nine cents. That's a lot of money.<br />
<br />
The LRR Crew failed multiple times during the run. You can view the fails [[Desert_Bus_2_Fail_Count|here]].<br />
<br />
===2008 Trivia===<br />
====Waypoint Challenges====<br />
*Past the 2007 total = Paul would shave his beard. This challenge was met at 4 PM December 1st.<br />

Desert Bus for Hope 2009 was officially announced on March 26th, when the first update was posted on [http://www.desertbus.org Desertbus.org]. The countdown to the event began on August 25th 2009 with a challenge from [[James]] that if the site reached $10,000 by the event's starting date, November 20th, 2009, he would drive the bus for the first 12 hours of the event. The goal was met, and James did the 12 hours, becoming the only DBfH to do a complete run from Tuscon to Las Vegas. After 5 days, 16 hours, and large number of auctions, caramelldansen, surprise guest appearances, and other craziness, the final total was $140,449.68. The crew presented a novelty-size cheque Child's Play Charity Dinner for that approximate amount (the last few donations had yet to be tallied when the cheque had to be printed).<br />

==Background==<br />
<br />
The cast agreed to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Bus#Desert_Bus Desert Bus] for an hour for each increment of money donated - the amount necessary increased by seven percent each time the increment was reached. So the first hour would require one dollar to be donated, the second a dollar seven, and so on. The money earned went to the charity [http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ Child's Play] which provides video games, toys and books to children's hospitals all over the world.<br />
<br />
Desert Bus generates a lot of its own tropes and terminology that pass from year to year. You can find explanations and origin stories for many of these in the [[Desert Bus Lexicon]].<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 1]]==<br />
22nd November 2007, 6:00 pm PST<br />
<br />
[[James]], [[Paul]], [[Morgan]] and [[Bill]] played a total of 108 hours raising $22 805 dollars for Child's Play. Bussing ended at 6:35 am PST, on the 28th of November 2007.<br />
<br />
The first annual Desert Bus marathon included several noteworthy events.<br />
<br />
* Penn, Teller, and Eddie Gorodetsky (one of the producers of Desert Bus) called the cast during the first evening of playing and donated $500 each. <br />
<br />
* Eddie Gorodetsky offered to donate $500 if James (the first player) would "take a dive" seventeen minutes into the first run. James accepted, and let the bus be towed back to Tuscon.<br />
<br />
* There were donations of Subway sandwiches, chocolates, and pizza from various general individuals including Teller himself.<br />
<br />
* The original donation goal of five thousand dollars was met before the first shift was complete.<br />
<br />
* In the "taking a dive" vein, several people made requests of the cast in exchange for a donation of a specified size - for example, Bill drank an entire carton of eggnog, and James played the game while upside down for nearly fifteen minutes. Matt raised $75 by drinking a "Nog Bomb", that being a shot glass of egg nog, dropped into half a pint of Colt 45. Paul offered to shave his beard in exchange for a single donation of $5,000. <br />
<br />
*Morgan stated that he would do a single Whatever Thing update for each $200 donation recieved for that purpose. None were made.<br />
<br />
*Three "upside-down girls" bussed a couple times for a grand total of $450 ($100 each the first time and $150 for TWO upside down girls and a PS3 the second)<br />
<br />
* James married Dark_Realm in an online wedding. <br />
<br />
====2007 Trivia====<br />
<br />
Penn, Teller, and Gorodetsky learned Paul's cellphone number by calling his mother earlier in the day.<br />
<br />
During one of the calls, Teller had a brief conversation with a half-asleep Morgan, who told him to "Fuck off". Morgan did not realize that it was Teller.<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 2]]==<br />
Desert Bus for Hope 2008 was formally announced at the gathering of LRR fans at PAX 2008, and to the world in the "'Movie' Movies Movie" podcast. However, it had been mentioned and informally announced on the forum, in the podcast, and on the Desert Bus website for many weeks previously. According to the information in the podcast, Desert Bus 2008 would have taken place in a Seattle hotel and feature several guest appearances and drivers.<br />
<br />
On November 18, 2008 '''Desert Bus for Hope 2: Bus Harder''' was officially announced. James, Bill, Morgan and [[Jer]] started busing on November 28 at 6 pm PST inside their [[LRR Orbiting Underground Bunker |moonbase]]. They finished at 11:00 pm PST December 3rd, having bused for 5 days, 5 hours, and 5 minutes, and raised $70,423.79.<br />
<br />
Let us repeat that. Seventy thousand, four hundred and twenty-three dollars and seventy nine cents. That's a lot of money.<br />
<br />
The LRR Crew failed multiple times during the run. You can view the fails [[Desert_Bus_2_Fail_Count|here]].<br />

<br />
=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />

:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest Ken Steacy.<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

<br />
=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;DIDNEY WHORL!<br />
:A variant of the previous meme that is notable in its own right. Late in the run, during the extreme bidding in the final Live Auctions, it morphed into BIDNEY WHORL!<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest Ken Steacy.<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"Poop Cam"<br />
:The camera from [[Desert Bus for Hope 1]] was dredged up and used as a joke to begin the feed, before they switched to the real High DenglerVision. It was switched to several times early in the run before it had to be taken offline because it was a choice between it and Skype.<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://youtu.be/SIaFtAKnqBU The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep". The [http://youtu.be/S9Iq6LA7sZI Bob and Ed Goats video] was similarly, though less, amusing.<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

<br />
=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,000. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest Ken Steacy.<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoD-TELD0A The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep".<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,00. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,00. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DengleMark"<br />
:A DengleMark is $1,000<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest Ken Steacy.<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoD-TELD0A The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep".<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,00. <br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,00. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;Sonic RainBid<br />
:Double Space Bid (outbidding yourself twice)<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid/Whale Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"Go home, [insert word here]. You're drunk."<br />
:Referencing the "You're Drunk" meme.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;"Ken "Value Added" Steacy"<br />
:Returning from previous years, this meme focuses on adding new nicknames in place of "Value Added" for well known comic artist and regular guest Ken Steacy.<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoD-TELD0A The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep".<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam. QWOP Cam returned on Graham's shift during Jenga. The feed was restarted again after Tally's shift, fixing it again. It returned again during Alex's shift during "Everybody Dance Now."<br />
<br />
;"My Jimmies are rustled."<br />
:Borrowed from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/that-really-rustled-my-jimmies "Rustled my Jimmies" meme].<br />
<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />
:After Kroze admitted to trolling chat with different nicks after the Pika Drinking Game was invented, and someone claimed that the chat was a single entity. Morphed into multiple fake Krozes, a fake Ashton, a fake Fugi, a fake Aero, a fake DBCommand, a fake Kate, a fake Paul, a fake Matt, a fake Ian, and a fake Roscoe.<br />
<br />
;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoD-TELD0A The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep".<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,00. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />

<br />
;"I'm Kroze"<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46 pm Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 9:50 pm, on November 23rd, donations surpassed $376,167, the amount raised during Desert Bus 5. Then at 10:05PM PST, Desert Bus 6 officially passed the final total from Desert Bus 5, $383,125.10. <br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, donations topped $400,00. <br />
<br />
*Jer did a rare thing and actually successfully stopped at the bus stop.<br />

This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam.

;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoD-TELD0A The Screaming Sheep]<br />
:In an attempt to top Going to the Store, a search was made to find a video that would break the Bus crew. One such video was found. While very short at 7 seconds, it has never failed to amuse the Moonbase or Chat. Graham has described the yell as "a guy realizing he has just been turned into a sheep".<br />
<br />
;"Operation- Infinite Batman"<br />
:Ian showed James, Paul, and Morgan the spotlight overlay that turns into a BatSignal. At that point Ian proceeded to put the 60's Batman theme into the Infinite Jukebox. James then proceeded to hold the chat and moonbase hostage by telling the chat that they would only turn off the Infinite Batman theme if the then-current $338,200ish total was raised to $340k. The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*On Novemeber 16th, at 6:46PM Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />
<br />
*Graham managed to lap Matt, raising in his shift double the amount of donations raised during Matt's.<br />
<br />
*At 11:20 pm on November 23rd, the Bus Reached over Four Hundred Thousand dollars, more than they've ever raised before.<br />

The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

The chat responded by stopping nearly all donations as well as changing their nicks to all sorts of various Batmans. Infinite Batman continued for 40 minutes in a most epic backfiring of James hostage situation.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*At 6:46PM Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*The Chat looked, looked with their special eyes.<br />
<br />
*Wil 'Wil Wheaton' Wheaton called in, and was Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />

=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam.<br />

<br />
'''Desert Bus for Hope 5''' (AKA '''Desert Bus 5''', '''DB5''', '''De5ert Bus''') began November 18, 2011 at 6:00PM PST. The event lasted 6 1/4 days ending finally on November, 25th at 12:00AM PST. That equated to 150 hours bussed after $376,167 raised for Child's Play Charity. An additional $4168.01 has come in after the bussing ended for a grand total of $380,335.01 raised for this year's event, just over one-tenth the amount all of Child's Play raised that year.<br />
<br />
=Events=<br />
*An auction for a hand-crafted Doctor Who-esque scarf resulted in a themed bidding war between users dave_random and DuctTape. Bids took the form of important Doctor Who dates, and a meme or two. DuctTape eventually won with a bid of $3339, after Space Bidding (bidding over one's own bid) twice. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-wiQhkTUKM Video of the latter half of the auction]]<br />
<br />
*Dostrow won the Ken "Value Added" Steacy live auction of a custom sketch with a high bid of $5,700.<br />
<br />
*IRC chat mod Ian 'Dix' Dixon, during his call in, challenged Kroze and Ashton to read/act out a slashfic written by chat users Fayili and Cho_J. Originally the DB Survivors Group Challenge donation was to be for $400 but thanks to the Group Challenge tag being left open during the following few hours, over $17,000 was raised for the challenge. To date this stands as a Desert Bus record for 'Most Expensive Crowdsourced Challenge issued'. (the figure of $17,000 is nearly 75% of the total raised during the ENTIRE first year)<br />
<br />
*Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson spacebid himself from $6,500 to $10,000 during the live auction for an uncut sheet of Magic:The Gathering Innistrad Rares/Mythics Foil cards. To date this is the largest amount any Desert Bus auction has gone for. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Itz92ujy_M Video of the auction, including the chat!]]<br />

=Quotables=<br />
Chat user bloodraven setup parsing of his logs for some unofficial [http://stats.coreduo.me.uk/ Stats from the Chat].<br />
<br />
=Notable Memes=<br />
These are new or exceptionally notable memes that arose or were perpetuated during the marathon.<br />
<br />
*The [[Desert Bus for Hope Drinking Game]] returned this year with a vengeance.<br />
*Chess - Chess is used as a reference to Sex. This makes for many amusing double entendres.<br />
*"Well Dong" instead of "Well Done", named after a confusing font on the Titus the Fox game Jer was challenged to play simultaneously with Desert Bus. Mutated into Whale Dong by the end of DB5.<br />
*"Myth Busted" In regards to an auction of Myth Busters SWAG, Graham challenged the chat to bust the myth that the auction couldn't go over $1,000. Henceforth the chat decreed that all auctions hitting $1000 must be greeted with hearty cheers of "Myth Busted!"<br />
*QWOP - The chat discovered how to break Graham the way WHARRGARBL broke Kathleen in DBFH4; a game called QWOP.<br />
*Star Trek Erotic Fanfiction - One of the first call-in guests was asked for their opinion on Star Trek Erotic Fanfiction, this lead to the same question being asked during every call-in thereafter.<br />
*I'm Notchicus - Thanks to many attempts being made by a 'fake' Notch trying to log into the IRC, Dix started saying I'm Notchicus which has been repeated many many times over various occasions.<br />
*AFRICAAAAAAAAA!!! - During a song challenge to sing Toto's Africa, Ashley mumbled the verse but yelled "AFRICAAAAAA!" every time the word was said in the song. This somehow caught on and would be shouted at almost any moment of intensity. Considered one of the more annoying memes of DB5 that the crew have assumed won't have much life outside past Desert Bus 5.<br />
* #TeamBidBot - the lord and master of the bidding was done by a bot initially coded by Tyranic-Moron (in Python), then recoded multiple times by Ashton and Fugiman (in PHP). In the end it made auctions incredibly easy to run for the crew in the Moonbase, bids were much easier to spot amongst the craziness of the IRC live chat, and it virtually eliminated the problem of fake bidding from previous years.<br />
** Building on the "Madness" meme from DBFH4, BidBot was designed to identify the approximate madness level of the current bid. After Hendecouple Madness, he ran out of English words; the Mythic Rare sheet was designated "33x Madness".<br />
*Rule 34.5 - "The Dubstep Corollary": if a song exists on the internet, there is a terrible terrible dubstep remix of said song.<br />
*[insert name/item/show/etc here] Standing By: During a few drivers cam outages, the chat responded with playing off a joke from the first Family Guy Star Wars episode while waiting for the feed to come back. After a while the chat ran out of stuff that was Red ______ so random things started being used in its place.<br />
*Mumblecore - Chat's description of song challenges where the majority of the moonbase crew didn't know the lyrics to songs and had trouble keeping up with sing-along lyrics on the youtube videos they used for the lyrics and music. <br />
*Mutt Wubbins - Dubstep DJ extraordinaire<br />
*WHARR-GAR-BAL!- in a continuation of DB4's Wharrgarbl that made Kathleen break, someone in the chat on day One asked the moonbase crew to create a yell for their character in Skyrim. WHARR-GAR-BAL chants were done throughout the rest of DB5.<br />
*Steve Dengler's enormous pile of gamer swag and eager Steacy-eque value-addition earned him the nickname "But Wait, There's More".<br />
*Harry the Giant Creepy Doll was a favorite with the chat, and in response was made to dance along with challenges and generally be creepy in the background. When the crew attempted to summon Cthulhu as part of a challenge, Harry was depicted arising and defeating the Great Old One in the driver cam overlay. The event is immortalized in the poster.<br />
*Aristotle, the kitty Kate adopted during [[Desert Bus for Hope 4|the previous Desert Bus]] returned to visit Desert Bus as a full-grown kitty.<br />

==Background==<br />
<br />
The cast agreed to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Bus#Desert_Bus Desert Bus] for an hour for each increment of money donated - the amount necessary increased by seven percent each time the increment was reached. So the first hour would require one dollar to be donated, the second a dollar seven, and so on. The money earned went to the charity [http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ Child's Play] which provides video games, toys and books to children's hospitals all over the world.<br />
<br />
Desert Bus generates a lot of its own tropes and terminology that pass from year to year. You can find explanations and origin stories for many of these in the [[Desert Bus Lexicon]].<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 1]]==<br />
22nd November 2007, 6:00 pm PST<br />
<br />
[[James]], [[Paul]], [[Morgan]] and [[Bill]] played a total of 108 hours raising $22 805 dollars for Child's Play. Bussing ended at 6:35 am PST, on the 28th of November 2007.<br />
<br />
The first annual Desert Bus marathon included several noteworthy events.<br />
<br />
* Penn, Teller, and Eddie Gorodetsky (one of the producers of Desert Bus) called the cast during the first evening of playing and donated $500 each. <br />
<br />
* Eddie Gorodetsky offered to donate $500 if James (the first player) would "take a dive" seventeen minutes into the first run. James accepted, and let the bus be towed back to Tuscon.<br />
<br />
* There were donations of Subway sandwiches, chocolates, and pizza from various general individuals including Teller himself.<br />
<br />
* The original donation goal of five thousand dollars was met before the first shift was complete.<br />
<br />
* In the "taking a dive" vein, several people made requests of the cast in exchange for a donation of a specified size - for example, Bill drank an entire carton of eggnog, and James played the game while upside down for nearly fifteen minutes. Matt raised $75 by drinking a "Nog Bomb", that being a shot glass of egg nog, dropped into half a pint of Colt 45. Paul offered to shave his beard in exchange for a single donation of $5,000. <br />
<br />
*Morgan stated that he would do a single Whatever Thing update for each $200 donation recieved for that purpose. None were made.<br />
<br />
*Three "upside-down girls" bussed a couple times for a grand total of $450 ($100 each the first time and $150 for TWO upside down girls and a PS3 the second)<br />
<br />
* James married Dark_Realm in an online wedding. <br />
<br />
====2007 Trivia====<br />
<br />
Penn, Teller, and Gorodetsky learned Paul's cellphone number by calling his mother earlier in the day.<br />
<br />
During one of the calls, Teller had a brief conversation with a half-asleep Morgan, who told him to "Fuck off". Morgan did not realize that it was Teller.<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 2]]==<br />
Desert Bus for Hope 2008 was formally announced at the gathering of LRR fans at PAX 2008, and to the world in the "'Movie' Movies Movie" podcast. However, it had been mentioned and informally announced on the forum, in the podcast, and on the Desert Bus website for many weeks previously. According to the information in the podcast, Desert Bus 2008 would have taken place in a Seattle hotel and feature several guest appearances and drivers.<br />
<br />
On November 18, 2008 '''Desert Bus for Hope 2: Bus Harder''' was officially announced.

<br />

<br />
The LRR Crew failed multiple times during the run. You can view the fails [[Desert_Bus_2_Fail_Count|here]].<br />

Desert Bus for Hope 2009 was officially announced on March 26th, when the first update was posted on [http://www.desertbus.org Desertbus.org]. The countdown to the event began on August 25th 2009 with a challenge from [[James]] that if the site reached $10,000 by the event's starting date, November 20th, 2009, he would drive the bus for the first 12 hours of the event. The goal was met, and James did the 12 hours, becoming the only DBfH to do a complete run from Tuscon to Las Vegas. After 5 days, 16 hours, and large number of auctions, caramelldansen, surprise guest appearances, and other craziness, the final total was $140,449.68. The crew presented a novelty-size cheque Child's Play Charity Dinner for that approximate amount (the last few donations had yet to be tallied when the cheque had to be printed).<br />
<br />

After 5 days, 16 hours, and large number of auctions, caramelldansen, surprise guest appearances, and other craziness, the final total was $140,449.68. The crew presented a novelty-size cheque Child's Play Charity Dinner for that approximate amount (the last few donations had yet to be tallied when the cheque had to be printed).<br />

==Background==<br />
<br />
The cast agreed to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Bus#Desert_Bus Desert Bus] for an hour for each increment of money donated - the amount necessary increased by seven percent each time the increment was reached. So the first hour would require one dollar to be donated, the second a dollar seven, and so on. The money earned went to the charity [http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ Child's Play] which provides video games, toys and books to children's hospitals all over the world.<br />
<br />
Desert Bus generates a lot of its own tropes and terminology that pass from year to year. You can find explanations and origin stories for many of these in the [[Desert Bus Lexicon]].<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 1]]==<br />
22nd November 2007, 6:00 pm PST<br />
<br />
[[James]], [[Paul]], [[Morgan]] and [[Bill]] played a total of 108 hours raising $22 805 dollars for Child's Play. Bussing ended at 6:35 am PST, on the 28th of November 2007.<br />
<br />
The first annual Desert Bus marathon included several noteworthy events.<br />
<br />
* Penn, Teller, and Eddie Gorodetsky (one of the producers of Desert Bus) called the cast during the first evening of playing and donated $500 each. <br />
<br />
* Eddie Gorodetsky offered to donate $500 if James (the first player) would "take a dive" seventeen minutes into the first run. James accepted, and let the bus be towed back to Tuscon.<br />
<br />
* There were donations of Subway sandwiches, chocolates, and pizza from various general individuals including Teller himself.<br />
<br />
* The original donation goal of five thousand dollars was met before the first shift was complete.<br />
<br />
* In the "taking a dive" vein, several people made requests of the cast in exchange for a donation of a specified size - for example, Bill drank an entire carton of eggnog, and James played the game while upside down for nearly fifteen minutes. Matt raised $75 by drinking a "Nog Bomb", that being a shot glass of egg nog, dropped into half a pint of Colt 45. Paul offered to shave his beard in exchange for a single donation of $5,000. <br />
<br />
*Morgan stated that he would do a single Whatever Thing update for each $200 donation recieved for that purpose. None were made.<br />
<br />
*Three "upside-down girls" bussed a couple times for a grand total of $450 ($100 each the first time and $150 for TWO upside down girls and a PS3 the second)<br />
<br />
* James married Dark_Realm in an online wedding. <br />
<br />
====2007 Trivia====<br />
<br />
Penn, Teller, and Gorodetsky learned Paul's cellphone number by calling his mother earlier in the day.<br />
<br />
During one of the calls, Teller had a brief conversation with a half-asleep Morgan, who told him to "Fuck off". Morgan did not realize that it was Teller.<br />
<br />
==[[Desert Bus for Hope 2]]==<br />
Desert Bus for Hope 2008 was formally announced at the gathering of LRR fans at PAX 2008, and to the world in the "'Movie' Movies Movie" podcast. However, it had been mentioned and informally announced on the forum, in the podcast, and on the Desert Bus website for many weeks previously. According to the information in the podcast, Desert Bus 2008 would have taken place in a Seattle hotel and feature several guest appearances and drivers.<br />
<br />
On November 18, 2008 '''Desert Bus for Hope 2: Bus Harder''' was officially announced. James, Bill, Morgan and [[Jer]] started busing on November 28 at 6 pm PST inside their [[LRR Orbiting Underground Bunker |moonbase]]. They finished at 11:00 pm PST December 3rd, having bused for 5 days, 5 hours, and 5 minutes, and raised $70,423.79.<br />
<br />
Let us repeat that. Seventy thousand, four hundred and twenty-three dollars and seventy nine cents. That's a lot of money.<br />
<br />
The LRR Crew failed multiple times during the run. You can view the fails [[Desert_Bus_2_Fail_Count|here]].<br />
<br />
===2008 Trivia===<br />
====Waypoint Challenges====<br />
*Past the 2007 total = Paul would shave his beard. This challenge was met at 4 PM December 1st.<br />
*$30,000 = Several chat users stated they would shave their heads. Dogmeat00 met this challenge and posted pictures to the Desert Bus blog.<br />
*$35,000 = Penny Arcade would donate $10,000, as part of "Operation: Infinite Bus"<br />
*$50,000 = Morgan would shave all the hair on his body.<br />
<br />
====Driver Name Progression====<br />
<br />
*LRR<br />
*JOCKO (5 minutes)<br />
*EVILJIM ($500 donation by Evil Jim) (In response this video was made: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtH9fvGMPQM Eating a hat.])<br />
*EVILSAK ($1000 donation by Sakimori_X)<br />
*EVIL_SAK (Bus crashed, name maintained)<br />
*EVILSAKX (Bus crashed)<br />
<br />

<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*At 6:46PM Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*The Chat looked, looked with their special eyes.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />

:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />

;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />

<br />
;"Sir Digby Chicken Seizure"<br />
:The now official name of the Seizure Chicken hat. A reference to the character from "That Mitchell and Webb Look".<br />
<br />
;"QWOP Cam"<br />
:For some reason the Engineering camera developed a glitch after the Key and Peele "East/West Game" skit where [http://youtu.be/ejW3fQF9AFo everyone became stuttery and jittery with all the actions]. This lead to the utter breaking of the chat and mostly everyone at the Moonbase. Unfortunately, the feed needed to be restarted, and that fixed QWOP Cam.<br />

<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*At 6:46PM Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />
<br />
*The Chat looked, looked with their special eyes.<br />
<br />
*William Shatner (!!!!!!!!!) was actively watching and tweeting with the Desert Bus twitter account during Prime Time hours on 20 November 2012. He was actually watching DURING the Million Dollar Moment.<br />

=Milestones=<br />
<br />
*There was an auction for a Firefly script. Mikey Neumann offered a prop sword from Serenity if the auction went to $10,000. The auction reached $3,000 before reaching Going Twice. [[Steve Dengler]], who was driving at the time, used Fugiman to proxy bid $10,000, making it the largest increase in a bid in Desert Bus history, beating Notch's space bid on the uncut Innistrad rares from Desert Bus 5. (I caught this partway through, so someone may have to fix the details).<br />
<br />
*At 6:46PM Moonbase Local, the lifetime donation total SKYROCKETED over the $1,000,000 lifetime donation mark. Much cheer was had by all. The chat asploded. Gangnams were styled. And the childrens were happy. WIL PLAID.<br />

=Selected Parody Songs=<br />
<br />
=Selected Skits/Challenges videos=<br />
<br />
=Quotables=<br />
<br />
=Notable Memes=<br />
<br />
<br />
;"High Denglervision"<br />
:This year, Steve Dengler is sponsoring the gear for HD broadcast. Where HD stands for "High Denglervision".<br />
<br />
;"One DesertBuck"<br />
:A DesertBuck is $22,805, the total raised by Desert Bus 1. Two DesertBucks is $45,610, and so on.<br />
<br />
;"Well Plaid"<br />
:Originated as smacktalk during a live auction by dave_random. It has taken over for Well Dong from DB5 for usage instead of Well Done.<br />
<br />
;"Soooo in!"<br />
:Thanks to a challenge for 'Kate and Kathleen give horrible advice', So In became the way to describe hip/happening/well-pretty-much-anything.<br />
<br />
;"My braaaaand!"<br />
:Due to repeated viewings of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8QodU0aFMI 1-800-CONTACTS commercial], "My Braaaaaaand!" and "Look, look with your special eyes," were exclaimed randomly during the marathon.<br />
<br />
;"I have the weirdest [insert word here] right now."<br />
:Referencing the line "I have the weirdest boner right now" from the television show "Community." Boner has been replaced, because children.<br />
<br />
;"And the winner is... no donor account!"<br />
:Man, that guy wins ''everything''.<br />
<br />
;Six Dollar Secret<br />
:Like the Five Dollar Facts from Desert Bus 5, a donor pledged $6 for every secret shared during Desert Bus 6.<br />
<br />
;Cloning the Pig<br />
:Lord Dengler saw fit to duplicate an auction lot for a custom made N7 jacket from Mass Effect. Such benevolence shall be henceforth known as "cloning the pig."<br />
<br />
;"Do you even LIFT?"<br />
:It's rarely used in its actual form. It's used more often in places such as auctions ("Do you even SNIPE?") or when criticizing Matt's driving ("Do you even BUS?").<br />
<br />
;"Whale Dong"<br />
:The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.<br />
<br />
;"Burma-Shave"<br />
:Appearing by roads / Were these old ads / Selling a product / Used by dads / Burma Shave<br />
<br />
;"Errmahgherd (and variations thereof)"<br />
:Borrowing from the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd Ermagherd girl meme], the chat has taken to ermahgherd-ing up all KINDS of crazy bussing things (ex. durrverrr kerm for Driver Cam)<br />
