This Just In: CNN Thinks Nashville is Full of Idiots

And really, after the RIDICULOUS gas situation this weekend, who can blame them? My relatives and friends around the country reported no gas shortage at all anywhere else. None. Zero. Zilch. The gas pumps are overflowing with milk and honey all over the country, except Nashville.

This is especially annoying to me, because my wife and I both work 25 miles from our home. AND we usually get gas on Friday afternoon or Saturday. Can you see where I’m going? Yep, one of our cars is stuck at the office because we didn’t have enough gas to get home and there wasn’t a drop left in town to refill. That is borderline infuriating.

Awesome quote from CNN:

He likened it to Southerners rushing out to stock up on bread and milk when they hear it might snow. As stations began running low, the situation snowballed, he said.

Good one, South. This will definitely make us look better to the rest of the country.

Come on, Nashville. It’ll be okay. Just calm down. Take a deep breath. And stop filling up your leftover Y2K emergency gasoline barrels in the back of your pickup while I’m just trying to get enough gas to get home. Geesh.

Nashville’s Out of Gas

I just got back from 1977 what appears to be the last gas station in the state with any fuel left. Every station in the Brentwood area was completely out last night except for one, which seemed to have a four-hour line going a quarter mile down the street in two directions. I have never seen anything like this.

This morning, after driving past a couple of empty stations in my small town, Spring Hill, my lingering gas fumes led me to a gleaming mirage standing tall in the distance: “Kroger Gas, $3.99.” Hallelujah! Of course, I had to wait about a half hour in line, but I was lucky enough to find it fast. The line was stacking up behind me, covering two streets in different directions.

I’m not sure what the situation is like in your town right now, but be prepared. Is it a real outage, or are crazy people creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of an oil shortage? Who knows. Either way, I’m home bound for the weekend.
