    omg my hometown (Moncton, NB) was actually mentioned on your website! But most of us don’t have front-end loaders… at least not the city kids lol

    Hey! That’s NOT a tank! A tank has tracks! That’s just an armored vehicle. Take it from a former tank commander’s wife!

    You’ve got a point there, Michelle… and that gives me an idea for another item. Thanks! See, I had more items than I used, but didn’t want to duplicate. But now that you’ve pointed out the difference, I’ve added a real tank.

    About 5 years ago, I was visiting my cousin who lives on an island off the coast of Portland, Maine, toward the end of May, and we were charmed that when we took the ferry back to Portland, on board were a whole bunch of teenagers in their fanciest finery, long dresses and tuxedoes, going to their prom by ferry. It was too cute.

    Neither of the military vehicle groups included women. I’m not at all surprised.

    I’ve been to Moncton ans EVERYONE takes their tractor to the prom. The guy that gets the attention is the one who drives his Dad’s Buick.

    I want to know about the guy that took the firetruck. What fire department has high school kids on the roster?

    Why do recent prom pictures still look they are trapped in the 1980’s? Ah, the wonders of teenage narcissism.

    I must wonder, since schools have zero policy toward weapons at the school, were the armored carrier and tank prom-goers punished?

    @BadManSports:
    Several of my high school friends were volunteer firefighters, and a few were also EMTs. It’s not so strange.

    We took a double decker bus. It was fantastic.

    I going to be a military nerd and point out that the tracked military vehicle pictured isn’t a tank but a Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

    We went in a DeLorean! I wish I could make some Back to the Future connection, but the movie came out a couple of months after the prom.

    #6: Too bad you missed their trip home - red-eyed, carrying their shoes, leaning over the railing feeding the fish, cumber buns akimbo. That would’ve been even cuter.

    @10 Johnny Cat: I believe (at least where I’m from) all the highschools have a Grad Commitee that organizes the prom. How you get there is your own business.

    I’m having my prom this coming June. Car. Lol…I don’t see how it is possible to bring a tractor/float/helecoptor or anything except maybe a limosine into downtown Vancouver.

    Hi! That was funny on helicopter! :) Why didn’t you put one with a limo hire ? It is so popular nowadays
