this is the thread where you can share your thoughts n' anecdotes about pumping gas in kentucky.

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link

i've done it a few times, driving through the state. seemed pretty straightforward enough

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:42 (fourteen years ago) link

maybe i'm differently abled because iirc pumping gas was a huge ordeal

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:43 (fourteen years ago) link

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:43 (fourteen years ago) link

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link

steamed hams (harbl), Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Mr. Que, Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:48 (fourteen years ago) link

Drove past the Jefferson Davis memorial once. Didn't stop.

i don't feel like describing. i feel stupid enough already.

alright, mr. que. 2005 i was driving through the bluegrass state and i needed some gas. i stopped at one place and the pump wouldn't work and it was crowded (near an exit) so i decided to try a different one instead of holding up the line at this one. i went to another one that was not a sunoco or anything, like a tiny gas station, and it did the same thing so the guy on the other side of the pump was like "here!" and pulled the hose and it started working. except i had already pumped a tiny bit and made the meter stop so i had to go ask the counter guy and he thought i was dumb, probably.

that's why i hate kentucky. i think this was in williamstown, kentucky. or something else that began with "williams-"

steamed hams (harbl), Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:57 (fourteen years ago) link

now that i think about it it seems so trivial

steamed hams (harbl), Sunday, 4 October 2009 16:59 (fourteen years ago) link

i have driven through kentucky exactly twice - on the way to and from cincinnati. i don't remember anything gassy about the trip.

I grew up in Kentucky and have had plenty of experience with gas stations of all sorts in the bluegrass state. I once scandalized my bandmates by purchasing and eating a bucket of fried chicken livers from a gas station in Kentucky. They were salty, greasy and delicious! Close to Tewligan's Tavern, the Bardstown road SuperAmerica in Louisville was a frequent disaffected youth hangout area.

the mom that works at the gas station down the street (corner of main & ashland) has called me mick, nate, neil, mike, pretty much every one syllable name that sounds even vaguely like nick but has never called me nick.
