Why do I have a sudden craving to go to 7-11 and get a Slushy?

1. Don't know.

But I do know that's where I'm headed. I need some strong coffee to get a nasty taste out of my mouth.

[taterguy]

5. Is it after 7 in your time zone?

They might not be open yet

[last_texas_dem]

7. My gated community of $2.4 millions homes doesn't allow 7-11's

They attract undesirable riff-raff of the variety that might try to proposition my conservative, church-going, waiting-until-marriage girlfriend

[ferrferr]

2. I used to be a Slurpee junkie.

I might have to go get one today. :p

[blitzen]

3. just don't make it a "superslushy." Then you'd be feeding...

your inner troll.

[Cattledog]

4. Be sure to get it in the BLUE cup!

[taterguy]

6. Blue Cups are what the Chapel Hill bar He's Not Here used for 32 ounce beers

I could use one of those too

[zazen]

8. OMG, I used to get so drunk there when I was underage--brings back half-formed memories

[zazen]

9. and now there are regular shootings at the old 7/11 one block from He's Not Here

[taterguy]

11. As opposed to irregular shootings?

[zazen]

10. but seriously, if you're craving ice, it often means iron deficiency

I was obsessed with slushy drinks and finally learned that my ferritin level was _1_ on a scale of 11-144 being normal. It was my looking for homemade slushy machines that finally tipped me off.

[taterguy]

13. Seriously, my iron levels were checked two days ago

You'd think the folks accepting blood donations wouldn't be so picky

[malaise]

12. I suspect you're

pregnant with expectation for the elections. :D

[JNelson6563]

14. Maybe the same reason you

are posting lounge fodder in GD? :shrug:

[taterguy]

15. Just because you slept too late to understand this is no reason to scoff at it

[taterguy]

16. Kick for the hell of it

[Arugula Latte]

17. Here you go, Sir.

[taterguy]

18. That's from the Kwicky Mart

I wanted one from 7-11
