Gas Stations Redux
Part 2 in the “sexual references in gas stations across America” series (see May 28, 2000 post). The great part about it was that these gas stations were scattered all over the Des Moines area!
(for those of you that live in the Bay Area, yes that really is a $1.17 for premium gas!)
Gas Stations and Billboards
I’ve been seeing this ad around at local San Francisco Shell gas stations for a while now. Maybe my mind is just especially warped, but this phrase does not remind me of getting gasoline. In fact every time I hear it, I think that this is what I would tell a hooker if I was in a hurry. Am I so wrong here…???
And while we’re on the topic… a while back I had been seeing ads on busses for a Lake Tahoe website – GoTahoe.com. The billboard said something to the effect of:
What are you doing this weekend?
GoTahoe.com.
Except that they didn’t write it like that, they wrote it like:
What are you doing this weekend?
gotahoe.com
which every time I looked at it, I saw "What are you doing this weekend? got-a-hoe?"
In the beginning, Salim’s World was without form. And Salim said, let there be site, and there was a site… and it was good
In the course of constructing this site I went through many different purposes it could serve and eliminated most of them. I am not expert enough in any one area to start a reference site for anything and generally don’t have enough free time to start a fan site. I was thinking of hosting online games, but I bought this computer in 1996 and am not capable of running any software that was created in the last year. I don’t know enough people to run a chat server and because of hardware limitations (and access to the materials) I can’t run a porn server!
So, in the end, I settled this site being a place to express myself and provide a place for people to come by, amuse themselves, engage in conversation and generally blow off a little steam. I hope you enjoy yourself.
I took most of these pictures on this site during my brief stay in Atlanta. Compared to the rest of the US, the South is a different world! Anyways, none of the pictures on this site were fabricated or doctored in any way and most of them come from or around Atlanta, GA and Columbia, SC.
If you have any suggestions for this site, any content that you think would be neat to see, anything that is cool, let me know.
Scary facts:
- Go to Infoseek and do a search for salim tyabji. Look at the second link to find one of the groups that the Disney corporation thinks I run
- None of the pictures on this page were fabricated, they are all real… there really is a bar in San Francisco “where good friends and girls meet”, there really is a store called Piggly Wiggly, the flea markets in South Carolina really feel it necessary to ban snakes and Bubba really looks like that (at least in Vegas he did).
