earth day

[Konrad]

On earth day, I give you the following news story:

To commemorate this day at our house, tonight after work I'm going to go home and run my smokey 2-stroke chain saw, and saw down a perfectly good tree.

Did you know the guy who started Earth day Killed his wife? Almost got away with it. She had been missing for years when in a house he had owned somebody found her body in a trunk.

I am all for recycling, improving efficiency, and what not. In fact I would hazard to guess  I am "greener" than most greenies. But I am not a greenie.

I am sorry if I have insulted anyone.

  Konrad,

  I hope you'll use the lumber to build a cigarrette boat.  Ya shouldn't waste good wood.  It's irresponsible.  Alternatively, you could use the wood to smoke a pig.

  Johnny,

  Are you suggesting he should have recycled her?  :grin:

  I spent my Earth Day working on evil, job-stealing robots, sailing after work, loaning a neighbor a saw, then plotting with another neighbor to drive all the way to Florida to sail the Florida 120 instead of just hauling the boat the normal two miles to the lake.  At least we're going to carpool  :cool:  That makes me green!

Earth day was chosen to be on Lenin's birthday (that would be Vladimir, not John, although I fail to see the difference between the two).

Remember Green is the new Red.

One other thing:  All those compact fluorescent bulbs?  They all have mercury in them, just look at the bulb.  I'm sure mother earth is loving those in the landfill.

I don't think of my self as extremely green but look at it this way. The earth is not a gift from your parents but a loan from your children. Now the ball is in your court, play as you wish. Bud
