Farging gas prices

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Be careful, or you might actually be deployed somewhere.

[Sgt PSN]

Doubt it.  Turns out I'm really good at talking other people into deploying for me.   

[Butchers Bill]

Who is due for a beat down?  Canada?

[Sgt PSN]

I'd say they're long overdue.  I don't understand why we haven't invaded Canada yet. 

1.  They've got great beer and it would be super if we seized control of it only to farg it up and water it down to meet Hoyda American standards.

2.  Half of the country is French which is reason enough to catch a beat down. 

3.  It's really close so it would be an inexpensive invasion when you think about travel costs.

4.  No more CFL.

I don't think its an accident gas and oil prices are dropping fast prior to a mid-term election.

If I said that, you'd crack a snide, tired comment about tin foil hats.

Only if it was mixed in one of your tired Bush tirades.   

Both parties are whores to big oil...I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue against that at this point.

[Diomedes]

My tirades against Bush are fresh and biting.  You lose.

The two parties are the left and right hand of the same ideology.  Of course they both whore to big oil.

[Sgt PSN]

So are we going to invade Canada or not?  I could really go for some french fries and gravy right now. 

[Cerevant]

I'd say they're long overdue.  I don't understand why we haven't invaded Canada yet. 

Aw man...I'm just starting to like it up here, where I don't have to feel like I'm being treated like a criminal all the time.

1.  They've got great beer and it would be super if we seized control of it only to farg it up and water it down to meet Hoyda American standards.

Damn fine beer, and the Beer Store keeps it all cold, all the time.  Tell ya what, come on up and I'll buy you some.

2.  Half of the country is French which is reason enough to catch a beat down. 

I wouldn't call Quebec "half".  Hey, if it is Quebec you want, maybe Canada will just give them to you...

3.  It's really close so it would be an inexpensive invasion when you think about travel costs.

Yeah, but how well does all that new desert camo work in snow?  You'd have to re-outfit the entire Army!  Maybe Christina Lurie could advise on the design...

4.  No more CFL.

Don't be hatin' on the CFL - if it weren't for the CFL, where could Ricky Williams play?

Please don't invade - if the US takes over, I lose my NFL Sunday Ticket on Cable 

Tell you what - rather than take over the country, why not just bomb the hell out of all the customs offices (on both sides of the border)?  They are the ones making life difficult...

Cheap gas for you Philly dwellers:

PHILADELPHIA -- There could be a gas riot in South Philly on Friday.

A gas station operator said his frustration will translate into a good deal for drivers as he exits the retail gasoline business after 23 years.

Dave Lalli said he will sell gas at his South Philadelphia Sunoco station for $1.49 a gallon from 5 p.m. Friday until he runs out, drawing crowds of motorists to receive his message of concern about pollution and prices.

Lalli said his station is near the Sunoco refinery in South Philadelphia, "and they pump pollution and toxicity into our air."

Yet instead of low prices six blocks from the Sunoco terminal," Lalli said, "There are times when there's a 50 cents-a-gallon difference between the prices here and in Northeast Pennsylvania, and South Philly is always the highest.

"When they come for the cheap gas, they'll get some information explaining what we can do as a community," said Lalli, who is leaving the retail business to open an auto repair shop.

Gerry Davis, a Sunoco spokesman, declined to comment on relationships with dealers or pricing policies. "Sunoco is committed to operating all our facilities safely, reliably, and in an environmentally sound manner," Davis said.

Lalli's gas station is on the 1800 block of West Oregon Avenue.

beer might be cold and good, but we can get the same stuff in the states for half the price. i payed 37 dollars for a case of busch light, prob around 13-15 dollars in states. i payed somehwere around 45 for a 28 pack of labatts, again maybe 20 a case american. no thanks. how the hell do you guys drink and smoke up there?

Expensive, but not that much more...

i payed 37 dollars for a case of busch light, prob around 13-15 dollars in states.

$29.95 CDN / case bottle - $2.40 CDN deposit = $24.79
(Remember, Busch is an import up here, no matter how nasty it is.)

i payed somehwere around 45 for a 28 pack of labatts, again maybe 20 a case american.

$22 CDN / case = $19.80 US (cans)
$40.58 CDN/28 bottles, - $2.80 CDN deposit = $34 US

Yeah, its bad...but not quite as bad as you say.  It certainly wasn't as bad a year or so ago when the exchange rate was another 10% in the US's favor (Dubya has done a wonderful job of tanking the US dollar, thankyouverymuch.)

no thanks. how the hell do you guys drink and smoke up there?

Well, I don't smoke   You can also avoid all the taxes if you go to a place that will make "homebrew" for you...you just pitch the yeast and come back in 2 weeks to bottle it.  They do the rest.

BTW, there are some local brands up here you can't get down there...I can't say I've seen Upper Canada down there, for example...

Dave Lalli is my cousin.

[Sgt PSN]

Does he hate you too? 

[Sgt PSN]

Also, I'm going to comment about the recent drop in gas prices.  It's still outrageous but gas has dropped about $.60 a gallon in NC.  It's sitting right around $2.32/gallon now.  It's also sad that I'm excited about that.
