With all these new sexual molestation charges coming up against the King of Pop, let's face it, you're probably next. You've got a friend in Idaho. This trusty state will never rat you out. You could make a go for it tonight, under the veil of the dark sky and that luminous bitch, the moon. The cops may chase, but they'll never catch you. You destroyed your hard drive. And those filthy Polaroids? Well, some things just seem sacred in this world. That fake mustache was a stroke (no pun intended) of genius. You'll ride night and day. Never make eye contact. Pay in cash. Fuck your Dungeons and Dragons addiction! This is life or death, man! You know what they do to people like you in the big house? Soon you'll cross county lines and hit Rexburg. Ahh, Rexburg. We all know there is no better place to peak out of your living room blinds than Rexburg. Good luck and remember, Oprah's on an hour earlier because of the time change.

I'd like to suggest beautiful, fabulous, neon Las Vegas as the ultimate roadtrip so that hopefully one of you will take me with you when you go (I'll pay my share of gas)! I've never been - but here's what I know. Nonstop party - gambling, buffets, drinking, roller coasters, legal prostitution, topless chorus shows, buffets, Celine Dion, water slides, swank hotels, killer white tigers, and buffets! What's not to love? Las Vegas is the ultimate indulgence town. Check out a strip show with Ben Affleck or gamble the night away with Matt Damon. Don't forget to take me with you! You're guaranteed to find something in Vegas that winds your clock, and it's close enough for you to leave Friday night and be back in time for class on Monday.

A little-known spot of interest south of the border is the 600-square-mile Pinacate reserve in Sonora, Mexico. Off Highway 8 north of Rocky Point, thePinacate is an ancient volcanic area characterized by nearly 400 cinder cones,several amazingly large craters, and other unusual landmarks. The desert flooris nearly black, covered by ash from long-ago eruptions, and makes for a striking contrast on sunny days. Camping is allowed, but there is no water available in the reserve and visitors should check in with the informationcenter. Call the center at 011-62-159864 for details. Despite the ruggedconditions, the Pinacate reserve makes for a stunning side trip or a destination in its own right.

The best road trip ever taken began in St. Louis, Mo., and ended in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is the best destination for any roadtrip though, because you drive across deserts, searching for the most beautiful place in the world and just when the engine is about to gutter out, you arrive in a forested valley surrounded by 3,000 ft; vertical granite walls and waterfalls detonating from the top of them. For anyone who likes mountains and waterfalls better than people, this trip is for you. I recommend working in the park for a summer, this way you get to climb, hike and camp in paradise everyday. The characters you do choose to meet will only remind you of how freaking amazing life really is.

In almost 13 seasons, Simpsons creators have been careful not to let viewers know where exactly Homer and Marge's Springfield is located. There are Springfields in Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Massachusetts, Georgia and New Jersey, and probably others as well. Prove you're a true Simpsons fan and go searching for clues as long as you can bear it. As for road music, what could be more appropriate than some Dusty Springfield or Rick Springfield?
