WHAT DID YOU DO FOR EARTH DAY 2009

I'd been missin' old Bad AlGorithms as he's been out of the headlines recently. I pondered on that some and started to get a wee-bit misty-eyed, so I thought...'Gee! What a great coincidence? The perfect day for a tribute to Bad Al'.

I rushed on down to Taco Belle and got two gorditas with hot sauce, one big olde burrito, dos guacamoles and some enchilladas. When I got home Mamma like to busted a gut 'cause she said..."I've got supper all ready." When I inquired as to what was for supper she said...lasagna. Oh boy...oh boy, was I gonna enlarge my carbon footprint...WOW! Of course my plan was to enlarge it via the dumper... y'know...the porcelain facility, but Hell..it all counts. I want them carbon credits.

I couldn't make it past one good-sized portion of lasagna after the Mex crap and tried to relax with a few brewskis. About 9PM I added one salted hard-boiled egg to the mix in the old belly and 30 minutes later the air was fillin' with the pungent aroma of humanoid dispersed methane gas. Up here it's still in the upper 30s at night, but Mamma was cussin' in Japanese no less and openin' windows all over the place. She got real p-o'd that I was settin in the new recliner too. Long about 9:45PM I got up to bank my first carbon footprint contribution for that evening. It was one of a raucous many and a good time was had by..well.., just me I guess. I figure that in addition to the solid carbon credits I banked I helped deplete the ozone layer with a conservative 64 cubic feet of methane gas. I mean...I wasn't doin' as good as a field of cows, but I tried. It's the best effort that counts. Sooooo, what did yous do?

You gots to raise some Hell, but I got to give ya credit. Burnin' tires is good for gettin' the neigbors' heads a-spinnin' some. They don't know if the junkyard in town is on fire or if Grandpa died in the crapper last week.

Btw, that picture you been usin' for ID there, ya know when you was a leadin' man in porno movies...Ain't-cha got any pic what's about 20years closer to your current age, don't-cha-know!; ▶ Reply to This

I thought you would spend your day using paint that emitted fumes harmful to the environment, sprays that deplete the ozone layer, and toxic solvents when cleaning your rollers and brushes. Your failure to perform any of these activities means that you must be a tree hugger.

I, on the other hand, took the afternoon off and test drove a Hummer throwing trash out the open window, and then returned home to burn leaves. I went inside and alternated between air conditioning and the oil furnace. I then hunted baby seals and whales.; ▶ Reply to This

Out in high security country with some some Very Indiscreet Pornographers. What were you doing? Casing out the CIA for some 'undercover' work again like you did for Wild Bill Clinton? And I thought you learned you lesson back then, but I see a career in 'show' business is where your expertease is. Well..., if you must, you must, but watch out you don't dislocate the old back Joe. You're never really still as young as you think you are, like that gal told you last week.; ▶ Reply to This

Sue never give me a line like that, because I can't help making a comment. 'If you were a real dedicated activist you'd have had tears rolling down all four cheeks!'; ▶ Reply to This

The trees in my neighborhood all shrivled up and started dying...no good oxygen....so they we got out the gasoline operated chipper and chainsaw and cut them down and started chipping away...no trees left now in my area. Oh and then we burned the chips!

overall a great earth day here in casa grande; ▶ Reply to This
