I don't trust any of the links due to viruses, but I went to bing.com, searched Erin Andrews, clicked video, and the second result is the video. I didn't click on it, but there's like a 15 second preview if you just hold the cursor over it.

Spotted at a gay bar in Anchorhead (which is fairly redundant).

it's dead now

I never watch Jeopardy during baseball season

I'm guessing at least one person here has an answer for me...

You know the sirens they have at various municipal buildings? I think they're for fires or other emergencies -- why do they need to make such obnoxious sounds in the current age of technology?

I live about 200 feet from a municipal building and the sirens have been going off essentially all day -- very annoying.

when we had our lab safety training, they told us that the sirens are purposely made to be extra loud and obnoxious to drive people out because a lot of people used to just carry on with experiments thinking it was just a drill.

The one at the museum is pretty chill. I could work right through it if it weren't for my boss

On that note, someone needs to make an iPhone app that shows you which Wawas have breaded chicken sandwiches. Can't find one nowadays. The one by me does have them but stops at 8 PM and I never want one before then.

On that note, why did the stop making the good breaded chicken sandwiches. All the ones by me just throw their breaded chicken strips onto a roll now. Not the same!

The quality of Wawa's sandwiches has deteriorated over the last 5 years. They offer too much variety now, and none of the new stuff is any good

It's a hotly debated topic in the emergency services community. We were recently mandated by the township to disable ours between 10P-6A. (Which reminds me our siren control broke over the weekend and I was supposed to go fix it tonight....oops).

But anyhow, we stil have many incidences where we have personnel who learn of the fire call by way of the siren. As much as we try to keep our pagers nearby, sometimes it doesn't work out that way. The pagers aren't perfect. Sometimes they fail. We have a guy whose pager doesn't work in his basement den, but he can hear the siren from there. Batteries wear down. And sometime they're left inside on the table. And out here in suburb-land, if the volunteers don't respond, nobody does.

I live about 3 miles from our firehouse, and I have been in my yard and heard the siren. So is the level of efficacy worth it? That's the debate.

There's also the PR perspective, which is even more debatable. Some say that the siren keeps us in the forefront of the resident's minds. If you briefly wake up because of the siren, you may realize that there's 15 or so of your fellow residents who are racing from their homes (and may not sleep for the rest of the night) at that very time. And we rely on the residents to keep running. And when the siren sounds, it gives drivers a heads up to watch for (and yield to- yeah right!) vehicles with blue lights.

Bottom line is, people keep complaining, and the sirens are gradually going away. It's only a matter of time. I know if my siren breaks, I won't get the funding to have it repaired or replaced.

true dat. i think it's less about variety and more about cashing in, though. Now everything is pre-cut. even the bacon is pre-cooked.

still good at 3AM though

my town stopped using the fire siren a couple of months. i'm not sure if it broke or they were told to stop it, but you can hear that thing from any part of town. living right down the road it kind of became part of this place and i do miss it.

can i change my login to I<3BIGPELF?

All the Wawa Whiners need to realize that a 2009 Wawa Italian hoagie is like 1,000X better than an "Italian sub" in northern NJ. Appreciate!
