And why didn’t this gentleman simply go to a local independent Owlmonger?

He had the munchies? He needed to charge his Tesla? Who the fuck knows. He’s an agent of chaos at this point.

Boy I bet that man was Asheny-faced when arrested.

Still the cops did not shoot him so it must have been a Southern White Owl

Now, I bet it’s a Fearful Owl

How does a market for illicit owls even arise at a gas station? Is ‘methheads who want to score an owl’ just sufficiently common that scavenging motorists know there will be a buyer? Was someone passing with an owl on unrelated business and received an aggressive unsolicited offer?
