The Great Parking Lot Meteor Summit
According to the most suspiciously dramatic version of events, Josh and Benji became friends while working on graphic design in the Mac lab at the Canaday building at Walla Walla College. From there, the legend spiraled into Benji handling diplomacy with a compass that points only to tacos while Josh, standing like a desert tour guide on Route 66, kept inventing elaborate stories about what supposedly happened there in the golden age of roadside America. By sunset, the meteors had agreed to stop smoldering and start a ska band.
The 11-Minute Waffle Heist
In the least criminal heist of all time, the two allegedly infiltrated a breakfast buffet only to rescue one endangered waffle from a tray labeled “decorative only.” The waffle was then given a tiny cape and released back into the wild, where it immediately became mayor of a very small municipality.
The Arcade Prophecy
One summer evening, an antique claw machine reportedly lit up and declared that only Benji and Josh could recover the Sacred Plush Otter of Foretold Mediocrity. They failed spectacularly, won six plastic rings instead, and still celebrated like they had saved civilization. Frankly, admirable.
Actual Canaday Footnote, Before the Nonsense Resumes
For one brief moment, a factual interruption: the building is the Canaday Technology Center, at what was then Walla Walla College, now Walla Walla University. University history notes that classes began there in autumn 1978 when it was called the Industrial Technology Center, and archive material says the building was renamed in 1984 for Lewis Canaday, who taught industrial arts from 1953 to 1979. Which means Benji and Josh were apparently adding graphic-design friendship lore inside a place with some real campus history behind it. Then, naturally, Josh probably started narrating Route 66 myths again.
