Started up my Jag, has a modified 94 Corvette Lt1. No mufflers just resonators, pollution plus noise pollution.

Then drove my 79 Corvette, fast! Repeat as necessary.

Two words: Tire. Fire. (check your local listings for how far/fast you should run after lighting, but in some locals it was recently legal to burn one or two tires on a brushpile.)

Don’t waste all those cans of hairspray on the atmosphere. Take a match to some of them and roast a few endangered insects.

No Hummer here, just a big ol’ Suburban V8.

We’re gonna run down to the Burger King (flame-broiled, dontcha know) and get a bunch of ecology-hostile cow-flesh—take-out, of course.

While we’re doing that, we’ll cruise-by the local Wally-World and buy a couple 500-round ricks of cheap 22LR and see if they have any deals on 12GA/20GA. Every time you buy a box of ammunition, somewhere a hippy dies. ;-)

I think that we’ll also steal Canuck’s idea for the self-cleaning cycle “immolate” on the oven. We just did this a few weeks ago, but that makes it all the sweeter.

I’ve got to wonder if any of these plans will use as much electricity in one hour as normally used up in one hour in the Gore mansion.

4 a/cs all on high, washer – on, dryer – on, dishwasher -on, leave wife’s bemer idling in the drive way – nope, eldest kid is 15 and it wouldn’t stay there, three computers - on.

Calling kid from the resturaunt and telling him that I want to see our house lit up like a Christmas tree from 3 miles away. If he does it, I’ll let him lauch bottle rockets throughout the hour. He’d do it anyway, I’ve raised him right, but adding a bit of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide from the black powder into the atmosphere is just an added bonus.

Jest doin’ my part.

I think it’s about time to run my electric oven’s “self-clean” cycle. You know—the one that runs it up to about 900 degrees to burn up all the junk at the bottom?

Yeah, I think this evening around 8:30 would be a great time to get to that…

I live in NYC and my wife, because of her job, lives in North Carolina. I am in the middle of moving from one apartment to another at the moment, so technically we have 3 apartments.

The two NYC apartments have the ability to run heat and AC at the same time. Tonight, they shall.

The NC apartment has a washer, dryer, and dishwasher, two bathrooms, and a lot of lights. Tonight, they’re going to be churnin’ like mad.

And I have an nVidia 9800gtx. When that puppy gets going, that American Indian guy who teared up in those commercials in the 60’s and 70’s rolls over in his grave and tears up again. I bet his tears taste so sweet! Might just have to have to run Crysis on max settings for an hour, just to make sure I’m doing my part. Don’t want to be labeled a slacker….

I’m currently staying in a chic hotel on someone else’s dime. I just turned on every light in my room and lowered the thermostat to 62. I’d go lower, but shit, I don’t want to freeze. I’ll leave them on even after I go out.

I’ll see if I can find any hippies to punch out tonight.

I have a two story house with different ac/heating units. I plan on running the heat on the first floor and cooling it down with the ac upstairs. I also plan on turning every light in the house on and maybe running my car in the garage. DIshwasher and a couple of loads in the washer/dryer might be fun as well.
