Well, I guess it's been around, but it is the return of the Kum & Go to my life. The first was in Colorado, NINE years ago.

We were search desperately for some State Park called Yelba, or something when we spotted it. We went inside. There was an obese woman sucking out the last of a slurpee, out of a giant plastic cup that said "KUM & GO" right on it. The shit eating 19 year old New Englanders that we were, we could not stop laughing. There were some younger teenagers in the store, who we thought would laugh with us, but they didn't.

In case you are reading this, and don't see what is so funny about this; it could just be my dumb ass sense of humor. Really, it says Kum & Go. Just look at how Kum is spelt. The 'um', instead of 'ome' clearly and blatantly looks like it is spelling a pornographic word for human male ejaculate. This place, is literally called Kum & Go. I don't know. Maybe it isn't funny. IT'S SO OBVIOUS THOUGH WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE CONSTANTLY MAKING FUN OF IT? You can find these all throughout the midwest.

And now, I am visiting Des Moines, Iowa for the first time. This place is PERMEATED with Kum & Gos. They are everywhere. I am at a coffee shop right now, abusing the internet here, and right next door is a Kum & go.
