Road Stories....

I won't go into all the details, but for my latest research trip to Kansas (which I am still on), I drove from Gainesville over two days. I had company, so it wasn't totally terrible. The Baymont in in Lookout Valley, Chattanooga, TN has really good continental breakfast, by the way.

So where this is blogworthy happened on the Kansas toll road. As most toll roads, they have little "service areas" in the middle so you can gas up and eat without having to go off and pay the toll to get back on. So last night at around 8:45 central time, we go to the service area and are in line at Taco Bueno. I must say that Taco Bueno's food is about one step up from the K-Mart Grill. If for some reason you happen to be at the Topeka service area, you should drive on by.

So anyway, we are standing there in line and I turn around and up walks two fat, blonde guys with their faces painted like the members of the Insane Clown Posse. They both had black t-shirts with ICP logos on them, and one of them had a black cape on.

My first instinct was to yell "JUGGALAH!" but I opted out of it. So I ordered the food and ICP member 1 gets on his cell phone and starts telling the person on the other line that the ICP no-showed their own concert in Lawrence, KS that night. He went on and cussed out the band and all in front of the 5 people in the Topeka Service Area.

The moral of the story, should you be wondering why I posted this, is that people who dress like ICP are what is wrong with Kansas.
