YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

Super bogus.

There's nothing we can do to stop Big Oil except buy more Hybrid or Electric cars, ride bikes, take the bus... and you know that's not going to happen.

-HECK!

Or we can all start walking. And since a lot of people work a lot farther than walking will allow, that won't be happening.

Hey everybody,
Sorry for the mass email, but I got important news tonight. My dad
works for FEMA and he's really involved with the goings on in NYC. He told
me that within the last 24 hours, more than 30 Ryder, U-Haul, and Verizon
trucks have been reported stolen across the country. The U-Haul and
Ryder trucks were rented and then never returned, so they're considered stolen.
Many of them were rented by people of Arab descent. I don't mean to
make any assumptions, and I certainly don't want to scare you, but I
thought you all might like to know. Be wary of these vehicles, pay
attention to them, and don't walk or park near them. He said to stay out of
major public places if at all possible (Crossgates, the Pepsi, downtown Albany,
etc.) because recreational sites would most likely be hit on weekends. I'm
sorry to cause alarm, but he told me it was ok to share this information.
If you'd like to forward it to anyone you know, feel free, as there is a
possibility it might save lives. I hope everyone is doing well, and give
those you love an extra hug.

My car is pretty good on the mileage. But there are waaaaay too many sport utility urban assault vehicles out there.

Not getting gas on one day is good in theory but solves nothing.

What's going on now is the classic 25 cent markup with a 20 cent drop to make us think all is well, meanwhile we're suckered into paying 5 cents more a gallon and loving it.

-HECK!

Get ready for it to go higher. They told us at work, it's going way way higher. (we make winch's that are use in the oil industry)

It's already sick in So Cal. I see shit in the midwest breaky $3 and I'm like, "must be nice." Haven't been hover near $3 even in a while.

-HECK!

You've seen the car I drive, Heck. I get pretty decent mileage. My mom, on the other hand, drives a Lincoln Navigator... or NegaGAStive. Damn, it sucks up gas like a 500 lb woman in an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Your car is super fuel efficient I bet. Mine is the same.

But Navigator's, Suburban, Yukon, Expedition, forget about it. My mom drives a F-250 extended cab. Freakin' thing is tank. Fill-up is what, $70 or so?

Makes me want to get a skateboard or some shit.

-HECK!

I'd love to get a bike and bike to work, but Tulsa or my part of it is set up for cars. I'd die in the first week. No bike paths, I'd have to go on roads, and I would be the only one out there. Stuff like that don't work.

My mom's Nav is like $80 to fill up, and that's at like $3.39/gal.

My cousin has an Expedition, and it costs her $120 - $140 to fill up. They spend over $700/month to fill up that beast. Needless to say, they are trading it in for a van (like a Dodge caravan, or something). They need to have a vehicle to seat six, because they have four kids.

I can't believe what we're paying for gas. It's a f'n joke, in my opinion. The oil companies (and those with stock, etc... like Bush) are making so much money, while we're all bleeding to death, watching our money go no where, fast.

Hehe, could see Whizzle all dodging cars the whole way. Crying as semi's buzz him.

Too cold out there at times though eh? See your snow storm pictures and it looks like something out of a disaster movie to me.

-HECK!

I would LOVE to ride my bike to work... but, I have to travel about five miles on the freeway... so that won't be happening. Plus, because of my back surgery, I am not allowed to ride a bike for a long time.


Imagining Whizzle is cracking me up. I can totally picture that, Heck. LOL

That's cause you guys are seeing me on some chump ten speed.

Now imagine me on a tough as nail mountain bike, with spikey tires. And I aint wearing no helmet.

No... I don't think it's the bike, Swizzle Stick.

I kind of thought that little moped from Dumb & Dumber would fit...

-HECK!

LOL Heck.... too funny

I'll get Oarnge County Choppers to fix me up something.

Dream on, Dinger man.... dream on. You gotta cough up a good $20k + for something from them.

Not if you get Mikey to make the bike. Who needs paulie and all his damn expertise, and spider webbing and fancy paint jobs.

I'll get good old Mikey to whip up something.

Whidden, if Mikey made that bike for you, you would be riding a P.O.S. to work.

Did you see the episode that they did a bike for Billy Joel... and Mikie making a second bike for him... with a f'n keyboard (a real one) attached to the take of the bike? It was god awful.

Yeah, I saw that one. Mikey dropped the ball on that deal, but he is growing as an artist. I hope.


By the way, Billy Joel, who I like as a singing artist, was kind of an ass on that show. Real nitpicky dude. Just order the damn bike and take what you get!

My favorite bike to date was the Gillette bike. Don't like the razor, but it was my favorite color scheme and design.

Well, when you're paying THAT MUCH for a bike... a customed made bike, you should have say in it. I'm sorry... it's a huge purchase, and if you want to be involved in it, you have that right. Paul Senior is a hard guy to deal with (on the show). But, I bet dealing with him, away from the cameras, he wouldn't be too bad. He's gonna get his money... no matter what. Why shouldn't the customer get what they want? If it's a bike that is being donated... well, that's different. But, if I had that kind of cash, I would want to give my input. But, I would also ask for their opinions, and see what they have, and work with that. These guys come up with some AMAZING bikes.

It's like Paul sr. said, "If billy don't like it, I'll keep it myself."

They make a bike, if the buyer don't like it, they can not buy it. It's not a made to order hamburger.

Well, that might be the case with some of the bikes... but, in all honesty, Dave... you're paying THOUSANDS on this bike. It's not a factory put together, hundreds made just like it, kinda bike. And for the price, you should be HAPPY with your purchase. I think that Paul Sr just played pissed off, because he likes to be like that, on air.

BTW... I made a thread, in the tv forum, for this show.
