Milestones

• 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, 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).

Notable Memes

• Do you even LIFT? - 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?").
• MY BRAND! - A humorous hammy commercial for 1-800-Contacts and a reenactment thereof led to this meme being created.
• Whale Dong - The evolution of the "Well Dong" meme from DB5. It actually spawned late in DB5, but never grew to full fruition until DB6.
• Well Plaid - An alternative to "Whale Dong." Occasionally said as "whale plaid."
