and everything else thats made with petroleum like plastic.

and Twinkies?

No, we just steal those.







Hey, if you worked at an adult novelty store, and I came in and grabbed a few giant silicone dongs, swung them wildly around and was yelling "I HAVE THE CHICKEN!", I doubt you would stop me.

You mean you people don't use ones that have been broken in already? Weirdos...



On Topic - I just bought a brand new Hyundai Accent... and the gas mileage so far has been fucking amazing. Not gonna go through all pages - but the trading of "futures" for oil totally blows.

I got kicked out of a sex shop in Monreal for holding a giant dildo named "The American Dream" up to my ****, and humping a buddy with it.

OMG have you had one with the chocolate cream?

No my dear. I don't put falic, cream filled objects in my mouth.

And here I thought you were being metaphorical.

So why the sudden change of position by Obama regarding the Keystone Pipeline?

Just the southern part. He is trying to please both sides, as he often does. I actually read building the northern half would allow Canada to ship more oil overseas and would at least at first raise midwestern gas prices.

You could eat them with a fork and knife like Elaine's boss, Mr. Pitt.

Wasn't that a Snicker?

Yeah but then everyone started to do it with all kinds of stuff. Remember Danny Tartabull ate a doughnut with a knife and fork when he was with George.

He never waivored that he didn't want it taking a certain route (through North Dakota I believe). He was pissed that the right was using it as some talking point and trying to force it into some other legislation rather than letting the approval process take place to reroute the path away from 'protected lands'.

This pipeline cannot go west to the BC coast. If tankers start filling up there and shipping overseas you could easily see another Exxon Valdez in the near future. The off coast waters are too rough there most of the year for oil barges and tankers. That is why the Canadians wanted US to allow their raw oil to go over our territory and down to a refinery in TX or to an overseas customer from there.

The other way this got politicized (as the right LOVES to mud sling whatever it can to make the left look bad) is the notion that this would provide 1,000s of jobs in the US. Bullshit it will. Most certainly not permanent ones anyways. Also, those jobs might just be owned by a Canadian company that owns much of the operation and pipeline, so the US may not even reap that much in payroll tax (I am no payroll tax expert for that type of job in that part of the country when a foreign company 'owns' the position).

quit bitching and boost our economy...err...i mean approve the pipeline!

But the temporary highway construction jobs created by the "stimulus" package all count though? Which is it?

personally, if I was out of work, I would be jumping at ANY job. Perm or temp.

Do you like all dat wildlife and scenary up der in da Canadia? Or do you live in downtown Toronto amidst the concrete jungle?



Continue fucking up the Boreal Forest and your economy will take a giant shit when people in Alberta can't farm anymore and no one wants to travel there to see the beautiful countryside.

I kind of know where you are going with this, but not completely......

nice try. Of the 910 miles of Keystone pipeline that would be in place in Alberta, 540 miles of it would just be converted from an old pipeline. And Alberta tourism isn't people going up to take a look at the sweet forest, it has to do with the rockies, and the skiing and snowboarding.



or are you arguing about the actual oilsands? Because when they are done with the location, it goes back to what it was before. Funny thing about land, you can easily fix it.
