Gas Station Etiquette

Why do black people smoke menthols?

...brand. But then, he muses, "Whatever you're subjected to has the greatest influence on you, aaiight?" (My note: I swear I'd never heard of Marlboro until I got a job at a gas station. Everybody smoked Newports or Kools - or for the uppity private school Negroes, Virginia Slims.) Aaiight. That tobacco companies creepily court smokers is not exactly a shocker—we all know that the industry is made...

Space for one to AnthroCon?

...to take the T, bus or commuter rail to wherever would be the easiest location for you to retrieve him and will pack light and not take up much space. He is also willing to help pay for the cost of gas. In addition, I am willing to say thanks by drawing you a piece of free artwork ( examples can be found here ) -- This means your ride over to Pittsburgh will not only be cheaper but you get free ...

Much of the oil, gas, gold and diamonds the island holds has been inaccessible because of the Arctic ice covering most of the land mass. But US experts believe it will become easier to exploit the island's mineral ...

The 'gas pump' design is improved, with the trigger being a proper squeeze handle, and her finger can actually pull it like a trigger, but she can hold the regular one, and if you want her to hold one in...
