In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
$3.20 per gallon for regular at my local gas station (which is one of the cheaper ones in the city).
Here is what I want to do to oil company executives:
Too bad penguins can't fly, or I'd do it to their face rather than to their shoe :-(.

Have at it. They're bleeding all our pockets dry.
ReplyDeletehey -- i'll lift ya up so you can do the duty in their faces...smle
ReplyDeleteyea..this sad to see...sigh!! it always goes up towards summer time -- in time for traveling...so i'm dreading how much this year
I'm rooting for ten bucks a gallon. If you monkeys are still driving too much, then I'll push for twenty bucks a gallon.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a penguin take a dump, before. HA! That was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteOy.
ReplyDeleteFor once, I'm glad you didn't post this at my place. I sympathize with you, but goddamn....
There are some consolations to this fiasco: yesterday at the gas station, I watched the asshole next to me with the Bush/Cheney sticker pump one hundred dollars worth of gas into his Hummer. He looked at me and shook his head, as if to suggest that I should sympathize with his plight. I grinned mockingly in response.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was childish of me, but selfish shiteaters like him are who put this gang of greedy, vindictive robber barons into office. No sympathy!
Mimus, I must admit the main reason I did not post it at your place was jealosy. Mockingbirds can fly, thus can take a dump right on the head of the greedy money-grubbin' bastards...
ReplyDeleteFnord: True enough. Even with gas at $3.20 per gallon, a full fill-up of my motorized two-wheeled mule costs less than $20... and happens only after I've put 250+ miles on a tank of gas. 50+mpg sure comes in handy!
Of course, then there's my Jeep with its 15mpg. But I only use it to go shopping and for camping trips, so I only had to fill it up once in the past month, so I guess I can live with that...
