Some spots around here is already past 2 bucks a litre, and I figure after conversion, its over 5 bucks a gallon. OUCH.
At least I filled the Charger up before this happened!

It'll be good for the weekend anyway

The hillbilly neighbors called up and said they tried to fill up their exploder and the pump shut off at $50 this evening.
So I took the cherokee over and put in $44.50  :icon_smile_angry:

BTW, anyone have a good remedy for getting that gas smell off your breath from siphoning? :drunk:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

arent you suppose to block the whole gas tank except where your tubing is going and blow into and the backpressure makes the gas come out so you dont have to taste it like they do in the movies  :icon_smile_blackeye:

  One of my H.S. teachers said her husband was in a AF group that dropped HUGE bombs in the eyes of Hurricanes to dissipate them, and that it was very secretive...  Hard to imagine they could do any good since it is so HUGE, even with Massive explosions...  Any of you Air Force Gurus/Bubbas ever heard of this???

Most of Europe doesn't have refineries so they have to purchase gasoline and other refined oil products from countries that do. This is one reason why their gas prices are so much higher than ours (the crazy taxes they pay is another). Crude oil doesn't do them a lot of good. The world in general is using more refined oil products than we can produce so when that supply line is interrupted it causes a ripple effect and prices go up everywhere.

I heard a report last night in CNN when they asked a leading hurricane expert/meterologist regarding dropping something to disrupt a hurricane and the scientist said even if you were to drop a nuclear atomic bomb in a hurricane, it would'nt do a thing. He said the energy released by a hurricane is equal to a nuclear bomb similar in magnitude to the one dropped in Hiroshima going off every 20 minutes. One would'nt do a thing. Wow!!

Let's just feed it Rosie O'Donnel.

Hell, it worked in the South Park episdoe where Cartman's TrapperKeeper tried to take over the world.

Why wouldn't it work now?

And if it doesn't work, man... we still got rid of Rosie O'Donnel. :cheers:
