A trip to the Kwik-E-Mart

As part of the uberhype for the long-awaited Simpsons movie, a few 7 Elevens around the country have been temporarily converted into Kwik-E-Marts, complete with many Simpsons tie-in products like Squishees, Krusty-Os and Buzz Cola; even pink, frosted donuts just the way Homey likes 'em.

Anyhoo, one of these Kwik-E-Marts is located just blocks away from the Space Needle in Seattle Center. Silvie and I stopped by there a few weekends ago to check it out. The outside of the building was given a faux Kwik-E-Mart look, and "life-sized" cut-outs of various characters adorned the place, inside and out. There were also funny little signs throughout. Here are a few pics:

Convenient for tourists!




Those crazy kids!




Silvie and Margie




Yes, that was me before the surgery




Gluttony... pure gluttony



Chief Clancy, on the job




Frostilicus!!!




Hey, how'd she get up there?




I want this for the house!




Funny sign :-)




I love this one!




Propaganda in aisle 5




I actually heard this guy telling a customer "Thank you. Come again."




Hey there, Squishee Girl!
