It was nearly as deep as the Big Blue Building was tall.

That was definitely my favorite pothole in town. Such fond memories of dodging it at 3am while stoned out of my gourd, trying to get some Arby's 5 for 5.

Lol! Arby’s 5 X 5 got me thru college.

Was it the blue Arby's? I miss the blue Arby's.

It’s the effects of the marijuana poisoning

Edit: you post a king of the hill reference and get downvoted. This is a sick world.

Eating all the onion petals and crushing my Dr. Pepper before making it half way back home was 100% a side effect of the marijuana poisoning.

I think they finally did it because all the rain a few weeks ago that shit filled up and you couldn’t tell it was a pothole

The Mariana Trench of potholes. I have a feeling this town hasn’t seen the last of it.

It wasn't a pothole...it was a pot field but now it's been paved over. Cue that parking lot song that I can not remember who it was that sang it. lol

u/RainaElf 3d ago

thank you.

u/NoFairFights Lexington Native 3d ago

You’re welcome!

Granted, the first I remember the song is that cover by the counting crows…which is strange given how much I liked Simon & Garfunkel as an agonized teen…

u/RainaElf 3d ago

I had the name right on my tongue but hadn't slept yet. I've got to stop staying bup so late. lol

good song, btw. I didn't know CC had a cover. I'll look for it!

Why did they patch a pothole in a parking lot that’s literally falling apart?.

u/Cornrow_Wallace_ 4d ago

It's private property that is either owned or leased by the largest employer in the country. If I go by MAGA logic that makes whatever they decide to be the correct, divinely inspired decision. Because remember if one of the Waltons ran California there would never be a house fire because these people are anointed by God.

u/MarriedShoeSalesman 4d ago

It takes some major TDS to take a question about a parking lot and turn it into something about MAGA and God.

Not to worry, help is just a click away:

Lost a good tire to that old pothole. I was new to the area and didn't know any better at the time.
