The Place Where Good Ideas Get Born. And Die.
You know how sometimes you see something and slap yourself on the forehead and ask, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
This is not one of those times.
Glouster, Ohio, is not a place you’d suspect there would be a mess of stoopid ideas. Why, you’d probably be surprised there’s any ideas at all there.
Customer Richard found the Mother of All Bad Ideas standing proudly, okay standing, in Ohio.

If you can’t see it because I felt the need to let you know the entire ambiance, here’s the sign.
The Brickyard Carry Out and Drive Thru GUNS & AMMO.
And beer.
There’s gotta be beer.
Thank you Richard for the heads up.
Sigh
1Perhaps they give volume discounts to street gangs on their way to drive-by shootings?
2Oh, little Glouster is having their SHARE of issues lately. The news yesterday showed their town council meeting, which appears to take place in an office someone made out of a self-storage facility, as they reluctantly voted to suspend without pay their police chief, who harbored a younger female fugitive from the law in his own home, where ostensibly they just prayed and ate ritz crackers and cheez whiz, I just know it.
Anyway, he CLAIMS he was going to use her as a confidential informant.
My favorite part was when they cut to the 350-pound woman setting on her porch swing who said “I don’t know what he did. They are charging him with something? I don’t know what it is, but I don’t care.”
daMrs and I just looked at each other and laughed.
And then I wondered, how the heck do you find a carbon-steel reinforced porch swing, and how do you suspend that via anchor chains to that saggy-roofed porch?
3Where there’s a will, there’s a sway.
4A drive-thru gun store. Not a whole lot of background checkin’ goin’ on there.
I see a future Darwin Award winner place!!
5There are some days when you just don’t have time to park and go inside.
6No. Just no.
7Next up. Drive through funerals.
No.
I’m not kidding.
8Dilbert, of all people predicted this back in 1995 giver or take. In case link does not work, Dogbert doing his talk show exclaims, “I dream of a world where someday you can buy liquor, cigarettes, and firearms at a drive-thru window and use them all before you get home.”
Sounds like we are already there.
Best, and keep on blogging.

9A shooting range up in that part of the country just got a liquor license. Now you can go shoot until you’re too drunk to stand up.
I still have, somewhere, pictures of a drive-thru liquor and gun store. Nothing new under the sun.
