I think I've had a cup of Sheetz coffee before. It was cold and they were out of anything but the flavored creamers. That's why I took to calling it Shitzy coffee. But Sheetz, which is basically a truck stop for the suburbs, is getting in on this whole "coffee without the coffeehouse" thing that McDonalds seems to be keen on pushing. Not to be outdone by a burger joint, Sheetz has been doing a promotion in which loyal Sheetzheads submit their poems for a chance to win $5000 in hot, steaming Sheetz (or cold if that's the way you like it). The contest is over, but now you can all see just what kind of poets roam the gas stations near you. And you can vote for who should be the Sheetz laureate here.
This may kick off a spasm of caffeine induced writing on my end this weekend. But in the meantime, this is my nominee for the GREATEST COFFEE ADVERTISEMENT PHOTO OF THE YEAR (WEB EDITION).
