<p>Drinking and gunplay: two things that should never be done in a hurry, not to mention together. That&rsquo;s what makes <em>&ldquo;Double Shot Liquor &amp; Guns Drive Thru&rdquo;</em> so disturbingly delightful. While far from being the only drive-thru booze &amp; boomstick <a href="http://www.framedandshot.com/FotoLog/Mall-Shooting-Series/i-KvNXxmz" target="_blank">emporium</a> &ndash; think about THAT, if you dare &ndash; the Schulenburg, Texas business stands out thanks to its creative name and the ever-changing <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/18/what-could-go-wrong-photos_n_5793336.html?" target="_blank">messages</a> on its sign.</p>
<h4>Mourning Commute</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-2a-960x401.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-92179" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-2a-468x196.jpg" alt="drive-thru-2a" width="468" height="196"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-2c.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-92181" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-2c-468x351.jpg" alt="drive-thru-2c" width="468" height="351"></a></p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not just <em>life</em> in the fast lane anymore. Sure, funerals can be uncomfortable and &ldquo;viewings&rdquo; are a tad creepy. That&rsquo;s still no excuse for- er, actually it IS an excuse for <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/drive-funeral-window-lets-mourn-car/story?id=25542036" target="_blank">drive-thru windows at funeral homes</a>! Obviously there&rsquo;s some demand for this feature, as the <a href="http://www.paradisefuneralchapel.com/" target="_blank">Paradise Funeral Chapel</a> in Saginaw, Michigan has drive-thru counterparts in California, South Carolina and Virginia. When drivers pull up to the bulletproof glass (why bulletproof?) <a href="http://www.wptv.com/news/local-news/water-cooler/michigan-funeral-home-offers-drive-thru-visitation" target="_blank">window</a>, a motion sensor draws back the curtains allowing mourners to pay their final respects to the en-casketed loved one. Would you like flies with that?</p>
<h4>Fastest Cash</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-3a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-92184" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-3a-468x702.jpg" alt="drive-thru-3a" width="468" height="702"></a></p>
<p>We&rsquo;ll bet this is one of Chumlee&rsquo;s ideas. If you&rsquo;re looking to hock the family jewels on your way outta Dodge, then <a href="http://www.deanspawn.com/" target="_blank">Dean&rsquo;s Drive-Thru Pawn Shop</a> in Oklahoma City is your <a href="http://lookinguplookingdown.blogspot.ca/2011/12/city-lights-and-sights-in-oklahoma.html" target="_blank">one-stop-shop</a> for a quick (and hopefully lucrative) getaway. All bets are off, however, if your clever plan involves driving in and pawning your car.</p>
<h4>Fool Injection</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-4a-960x1441.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-92182" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-4a-468x703.jpg" alt="drive-thru-4a" width="468" height="703"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-4b-960x639.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-92183" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-4b-468x312.jpg" alt="drive-thru-4b" width="468" height="312"></a></p>
<p>A tattoo may be forever but ain&rsquo;t nobody got time for that. Good thing there&rsquo;s Outlaw Tattoo, your Route 66 headquarters for while-u-wait permanent body illustration. At least there <em>was</em> &ndash; the Tucumcari, New Mexico landmark appears to have been driven <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2015/07/23/red-ink-10-closed-abandoned-tattoo-parlors-studios-shops/" target="_blank">out of business</a>, possibly by dissatisfied customers who own rough-idling vehicles. Kudos to Todd Longwood of <a href="https://aloveoftwobrains.wordpress.com/tag/todd-longwood/" target="_blank">A Love Of Two Brains</a> for exposing this dist-inked drive-thru concept.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-4c-960x717.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-92200" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/drive-thru-4c-468x350.jpg" alt="drive-thru-4c" width="468" height="350"></a></p>
<p>Oh, and for those who feel <a href="http://www.mastersimage.com/drive-thru-what/" target="_blank">drive-thru tattooing</a> isn&rsquo;t too far of a stretch&hellip; yeah, what could possibly go wrong?</p>
