Gas Prices

[PigPen]

The sad thing is the very first car I bought was a brand new 1993 Geo Metro (aka rice burner).  54 MPG on the highway.  Wish I still had it.  What I can't understand is why don't the car companies can't make something like that now that we really need it.

IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!

LMAO!!!!!!!! 

[schro]

Everything is Bush's fault.
When we had the 100 year anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, there was a big parade down Market Street commerating the Centennial. Well, I suggested to my brother to walk in the parade (in his suit) with a big sign saying "1906 .... Bush's Fault?". Well, he did. He said it was amazing the number of San Francisco lug nuts saying "RIGHT ON...BUSH'S FAULT". He said it was hysterical.

I was mistaken fellas...The gas prices out here are actually around $2.75.  Good Lord!!!  I haven't really been filling up since I mainly stay home to take care of our son so I wasn't aware they had jumped up that far.  How much did you say your Harley was getting Paul?  Just joking.  I would kill myself on one of those but damn...I wish my car could get that kind of mpg.

  Good to hear from you, Medic. It's been a while.   !Gas prices are obscene. We're lucky in NJ; they still hover around $2.60 a gallon--compensation, I guess, for the most polluted air in the northeast. It's still all relative: I've spend the last 48 hours bailing water out of the cellar, in the hope that the tide would not destroy the gas furnace we put in in January, to the tune of $8,000. Eye-opener: for all our technological sophistication and modern gadgets, a slight natural occurence can toss us right back into primitive survival mode. There wasn't a pump of any kind to be had in Bergen County after 8:00 A.M. yesterday morning. Dome got whacked several times in moving all the stuff on/near the cellar floor and filling buckets. As things dry out, look forward to long hot shower and shave. Stay sly, bros, and dry, Professor Melon

[schro]

oh, you picked up on that?

[BaldRob]

oh, you picked up on that?

No... just never used that smiley before and it seemed to fit!   

[schro]

Yeah, but you know that EVERYTHING is Bush's fault.

[PigPen]

Yeah, but you know that EVERYTHING is Bush's fault.

Including my headache?

[BALDANDRE]

Yeah, but you know that EVERYTHING is Bush's fault.

Including my headache?

He's EVERYONE'S headache!

[BaldBen]

Yeah, but you know that EVERYTHING is Bush's fault.

STOP blaming Bush for everything.
You know the old saying ....."Nobody's perfect"!!!

[schro]

I'm full of a lot of things, and one of them is sarcasm.

Personally, I wish the GOP retained control of Congress and that a democrat won the presidency so we can do a "flip flop" on the blame game. But, rather than be devisive, I'll quit on the political statements before I incite a war amongst the SBG. There, between my cease fire and the carbon offsets I purchased this morning, I feel better.

[BaldBen]

Shro, Sly Bro

Take a chill pill dude....you might blow a gasget or something worse.

As for politics, so many people I know are defecting the GOP
and going the
Nader route.

I'm not ready to do that just yet.

Good luck with the overflow Professor, try to stay dry and be careful.

[Medic aka Rocko]

well bald brothers now the Gas Prices form the Netherlands
1 gallon is 3,79 liter
1 liter in the Netherlands is 1,45 euro
1gallon is 3,79 X1.45 euro= 5,50 euro
1 gallon in the Netherlands = 5,00 dollar
The USA are always cheap with gas prices ha ha ha ha.
Medic i cycle also here he is

I cycle as sport and traffic commute

Looks like a nice bike.  I'd like to have a little higher quality than the $40 Wal Mart special.  I can tell you one thing, I need a seat cushion!  I had to take a break today, my rear hurts too much to ride   I'll get used to it I suppose.
