Zing

While out for a drive I realized my tank was near empty. I passed several pricy gas stations and elected to stop at a cheaper no-name stand. This was a mistake for once back out on the road my car did not run smoothly. It chugged along as if it had been filled with old bacon grease rather than unleaded. Even more suspicious, as I stepped on the accelerator the cabin immediately smelled like an IHOP. Incredibly, when I opened my glovebox I discovered a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs!!! How the hell could something like this happen?! I specifically asked for them over-easy.
Wahooo!

Whoa. Freak me green, as we used to say in the early 80's. What does "Wawa" mean in New Jersey? I never heard the word said outside my little neck of the planet - a small town in Northern Ontario (the movie "Snow Cake" was filmed there), the native Canadian name means "goose" - HUGE sculpture of a Canada Goose at the "city" limits. Cool place, if you can find it, honest!

Does "Super Wawa" mean "Super Goose"? 'Cause that would just be so cool.

This is some pretty funny stuff.

echele- that's almost a freakin' quarter per gallon cheaper than north Jersey!!!

les- Wawa is a convenience store around some parts here though I think it must still mean a goose cuz that's their logo. That town doesn't sound half bad...

dragon- thank you for your patronage. Come again!

I once had a claim where the guy was like, "and she just drove out the wrong side of the Wawa ..." and I was like, "what the fuck is a Wawa?" but on my last vacation when we went to DC I saw them all over Virginia.

Many years ago I went to a Barenaked Ladies concert in Orlando (about an hour drive) with a friend. We stopped at a tiny Chevron just off the interstate before we left to get some gas in her '76 Monte Carlo and ended up stranded in Lakeland (halfway to Orlando) because it was bad gas. We had to get the guy at the Walmart Supercenter to change the fuel filter over it. To this day she won't get gas at a Chevron!

Ha ha, hope your car is OK now. I once drove behind a car that smelled like french fries. It was running on the old grease from a fast food place.

You'll never guess what you get from the gas at the Cum-n-go.

petrol stations are so much more interesting in America than they are in New Zealand...
