This is the name of a gas station/convenience store I saw in Buffalo, Wyoming. I leave it to Dopers to interpret what the hell it is they sell. Holy shit! It’s a [chain](http://www.kumandgo.com/)! ---

First you Kum, and then you Go. “Go… just go, now!” In my county there is the famous [Cum Park Plaza](http://manofconstantleisure.blogspot.com/2006/10/take-cum-park-plaza-challenge.html), named after the combo of the two Burlington developers, Cummings and Parks, who, in 1960, just didn’t have a clue. The comments section on that page is muy funny, too. Well, I’ll be !! ![Cum Park Plaza](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cum-Park_Plaza) has a sticky Wiki page, as well ! ---

I’ve seen a Kum and Go before. Guess they figure its a gas station, you come there and go, not staying long. But whatever person who finalized the name must not get out much… ---

I always laugh when I see those while traveling to Texas from Washington. There is also a small chain in Amarillo, TX named “Toot n Totem” ---

Kum and go sounds like a drive though whore house in Nevada. ---

There’s a bunch of kum n go’s in Iowa and Nebraska. In, Minnesota, there’s the ["Pump N Munch"](http://local.yahoo.com/info-24313785-pump-n-munch-minneapolis)s. I always get a disturbing visual of a guy going down on a girl while masturbating like a motherfuck. ---

> [@Rick](#): > > Kum and go sounds like a drive though whore house in Nevada. You don’t have to frequenting a whorehouse to utilize the old Kum ‘n’ Go technique. Teen and college-age guys have been staunch advocates of that procedure for decades. 😉 ---

We don’t have any of those in Michigan but my brother and I passed by a few on the drive home from California. There would always be that glance where both siblings would think “I wonder if they’re thinking the same thing I am each time we pass one of those.” When I went to Quebec on a field trip way back in the day my friends and I fell in love with the Couche Tard gas stations, another that we don’t have here. Only, we would pronounce it “Coochie-tard” and it became our fall-back for name calling for a good while. ---
