I just found this humorous clip of the Trailer Park Boys, which alludes to the tastes of various types of gasoline: https://youtu.be/RXtePW4v8zs

> but the smell?

Yes! Well admittedly, I have somewhat of a redneck past. [cue Ben Fold's Five music.] Having grown up in small-town Midwest and worked on Farms the smell of gasoline is linked to lots of boyhood memories and male-bonding experiences :)

But look at their faces, they're having a gas.

Nothing like the taste of mushroom leather marinated in leaded city gasoline exhaust. :-)

That's funny wordplay, but atmospheric carbo is clearly the intended implication.

Reminds me of A Clockwork Orange quote...

"Well, well, well, well. If it isn't fat, stinking billy goat Billy-Boy in poison. How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip-oil?"

Green fuel made from people.

Soylent green...S-oil-ent Green. Green (s)Oil(ent.

Someone funnier than me should do something witty with this.

IIRC, an urban-legendary intoxicating gas allegedly created by, ahem, fermenting stool in plastic bottles.

The pseudonym given to the asker ("Ethel Pumper, Dallas") is a great pun on tetraethyllead "ethyl gasoline":

That episode when Bear killed and "ate" the skunk was hilarious. I recall him saying that cooking it "smelled like burning tires". Hilarious.

I believe they're working on tickle gas.

This article is the embodiment of the South Park, San Francisco stereotype of the guy enjoying the smell of his own farts.

The idea that they might be living in a bubble that is totally out of sync with 95% of America (geographically speaking) is unfathomable to an elitist.

Beavis: "huhuh, or like, would you trip a homeless man?"

Butthead: "heheh, yeah, or like, would you, heh, kiss a dude? Heheh, just a random dude?"

Beavis: "huhuh, or like, would you fart in their mouths?"

Is this...interesting to you? Should I keep going?

(me vaping some good shit)

If Yellowstone burps,

it maybe disturbs,

the Aspen Anomaly,

down to Lee's Ferry,

wiping downstream with the rubble of Glenn Canyon Dam and Lake Powell,

it could be hell.

I'm just a stoner, you're bright and smart.

No reason to be so uptight, and judging hard.
