the other day i went to a station having its first day open and they priced their gas at $1.49 a gallon. needless to say i waited 2 hours to get service, since i couldn't get out of the line. i did fill the tank though. :P

At that price, I would have sealed the trunk up and filled that up too! :lol:  

Hey! I liked my sideways ponytail, and sweaters big enough to be dresses, and bangles, and neon pink eyeshadow...wait a minute... Sorry about the gas prices, Cham. Think about it this way- you're putting out less pollution than the rest of us with all that nasty, cheap gas! Good job! :-D  

:-o You people don't know how good you've got it! In the UK the price is 97 pence per litre. Converted to dollars it works out exactly $1.69017. 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres That means if you were paying UK prices over there it would be .... $6.40 a gallon!! While I'm ranting about prices... A packet of ciggs here is just under $10 for 20! A service on my car costs £420 ($730.00) here, but 40k's across the English channel a French Audi garage would charge only £120 ($210.00). We call it rip off Britain. It's gotta be one of the most expensive places in the world to live :cry:  

Taxation is our governments punishment for anything it cannot outright prohibit. Booze, Smokes, and Gas.  

You can move to Utah... no toll roads. 

Illinois increased its toll prices by 100% thats (right double) last year for all motorists who did not have an I-Pass, basically a little radio transmitter that automatically debits an account in your name when you drive through a toll plaza. The premise they told everybody was that they wanted to ease traffic congestion by essentially coercing motorists into buying the I-Pass. So lots of sheeple went and got I-Passes, now at the end of this year tolls will double for those with I-Passes as well. Guess the real reasoning for doubling the tolls is known, more money. Illinois is loaded with toll roads, especially around Chicago. When they were originally built in the 50's and 60's they said they were only going to be toll roads until the expense of building the roads was paid off. Of course they have been paid off many times over now, and climbing. 

I've always wanted a Gene Simmons tongue, of course I'm not to sure how well that would go over in Utah...

You know, that might actually be fun. Ummm, in the sense of going out in public and having you stick your tongue out at certain people. And Utah isn't as innocent as you think. I think it's going down the drain. Just tonight, I found a half full beer can on the wall. I live in a neighborhood of like 10,000 kids....real smart. But, thank heavens *I* was the one who got it. I actually had a pretty good idea. I'm sure most of you know I got a new job...this is the end of my second week. I wanted to take the empty beer can and just set it on my desk around lunch time..... B_B 

They'd probably boot my secretary butt right out the door, after making me go through the alphabet backwards...which I can't even do sober, let alone if I ever got drunk. B_B
