Hilarious, I'm starting mine tomorrow.

Answers the question of what a line of wine based on the 2007 Red Sox would look like.

An animated cartoon (because there are so man non-animated cartoons) about the state of entertainment news. Hilarious. Enjoy.

This is why commentators should sometimes just not say anything. The only thing more awkward than watching the injury to the skier are the broadcasters comments.

Hi Eric, I own a SUV, I dont have any mangy kids. I dont want to pay high gas prices. My SUV gets just over 300 miles to the tank. I know your Acura gets about 300-325 miles to the tank, I know cuz I had one. Now lets factor in all the "economy aftermarket accessories" you tacked onto it...I can hear you vroom vroomin' it down the street, I'm sure that cuts into your gas mileage. Your 4 cylinder probably burns just as much fuel as a 6 cylinder.
My 8 cylinder could easily roll over the "Acura Ramp" and crush you liek a tin can. (cool trick)
6 years ago gas was $0.999/gal. Now its $1.759/gal, thats a $0.1635 increase per gallon per year. Inflation, bad economy, vehicles with bigger tanks, the popularity of SUV's, these all have a factor in determining gas prices. Sure, the crude oil crisis in the middle-east, wars' in the desert, all that other shit too, has an effect.
So if you really feel so strongly about high gas prices, go get a hybrid. I'm going to enjoy my Durango. So when I pile all the guys into it and we go out on the town, I'll be sure to remember what you REALLY think of my vehicle and reserve you a seat in the WAY-BACK. As a matter of fact, I think I'll fill up tonite and come by your house and rev the engine for a few hours.
O'Doyle RULES!
Sincerely,
Mr. All American Pig.
Dear DJ Thrill,
Touché!
I know you have an SUV and I understand that I own what is known as a "sports car" my insurance bill would tell you that.
You fortunately have a use for such a large vehicle, you have to carry around your equipment to make the music that everyone enjoys, and your eighteen illegitimate children.
I was trying to highlight the fact that if somebody whom matches the above description is overly concerned with gas prices they cannot complain because they put themselves (us) in this situation.
Too many people in this country own large vehicles with no use for them. Sucking down 200% more gas then they need to. Then complain about the war in Iraq and how stupid it is that were over there. I was contemplating purchasing a hybrid vehicle, but my selection was vastly limited.
If most people would pull their heads out of their asses they would realize its them who stinks.
As always I have a theory...
If you pay attention to any of the news that falls between the cracks you would see that electric hybrids are not the direction car companies foresee Americans going. Rather, it is hydrogen, yes your car will one day run on water vapor (more or less). Think of a really supped up locomotive on bibby juice.
So why don't we switch to hydrogen now or in the next couple of years?
For one, Hydrogenfuel is in the experimental stage and as we no hydrogen is a little temperamental (THINK "GOD THE HUMANITY") Well, once all heating and travel switch to either electric or hydrogen petroleum becomes the redheaded stepchild of the natural resource world. Oil will serve no purpose to humanity and will be completely worthless...Oil will be as useless as Eric Webster is at making analogies (see above).

Now how did the Bush Family accumulate all of there wealth?
A. Oil
B. Petroleum
C. Gas
D. All of the above
H2 Fuel Cells is where it’s at, everyone knows that shiznittle Shawn. We just got to wait for the technology to be perfected .. the idea has been kicking around since the late 1800's.
My Michael Jackson analogy sucked … yes I admit it. But you’re a Yankees fan, you have no credibility and your opinion doesn’t matter. Not here anyways.
Good Article in Wired.
2005 Highlander 600 miles to the tank.
i dont have a problem with buying gas. i actually spend $7.25 a gallon for race fuel. who cares? you are the same people that actually walk into a store and buy bottled water! if you dont like the prices dont drive!
Thrill, "My SUV gets just over 300 miles to the tank. I know your Acura gets about 300-325 miles to the tank, I know cuz I had one."
Your tank is also much larger than an acura. Its MPG not how many miles you get to a full tank.
Pimp - you may not have a problem buying gas today but wait 20 years and see what problems you have. Money won't be the issue, availability may be.
Black market oil/gas is going to cost more than racing fuel. Probally somewhere in the range of 20$ a litre. See how far the SUV makes it then
A-Rod drives a 8-cylinder. Red Sox fans usually have an opinion...until mid to late October that is.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
By the way the research for fuel cells has been around for 5 years. What your thinking of is steam locomotives of the 1800's Mr. Webster.
Actually Shawn your wrong, again.
Fuel cells were developed in 1839 by William Grove.
The splitting of hydrogen atoms into protons and neutrons as a source of energy has been around since the 70's.
May I suggest using the computer for something other than searching for pictures Derek Jeter’s penis online sometime.
Shawn used to be a Red Sox fan until he got in a fight with his man lover whom is a larger Red Sox fan. So to spite him Shawn decided to become gay. And not the good gay, the Yankee’s Fan Gay.
Again Webster you are confusing the method. You are talking about Hydrogen "gas" for of energy that allowed the Hindenburg to fly and subsequently explode.
What I am talking about is a form of hydrogen vapor (water vapor minus oxygen) that is not as combustible as the gas form. How could technology for fueling automobiles come out before anyone created an automobile?
As for splitting atoms, that can be credited to a gentleman by the name of Einstein.
As for your Derek Jeter penis envy, that can be credited to your 16 years in the boyscouts without ever joining.
Don't worry I think Pedro and Nomar will look great in pinstripes next year.
Stick to computers.
I personally dont want to hear any complaints from any car drivers period.
I ride my motorcycle almost year round. With 55 miles per gallon, a smaller traffic footprint, I cant ever justify driving a car into work just so I can sip my starbucks, or talk to my aunt on my cell phone while going into work.
Motorcycles are cheaper to buy, maintain, and drive, more reliable than any car, truck, or SUV.
How many traffic jams would we have if everyone was riding a motorcycle? Hrmm?
Look shawn, Ill go nice and slow for you see if you can keep up.

Yet fuel cells are hardly new. Invented in 1839, they were mostly seen as novel by working electrochemically, rather than by combustion. Since then, they found only sporadic use where cost is not an issue, such as in spacecraft.
As for everybody being on a motorcycle, the last thing I need is to have women on motorcycles doing thier makeup and talking on the cellphone at the same time.
Eric, you forget Natural Selection. Seriously, how long do you think anyone talking on a cell phone, or doing their makeup while riding a motorcycle is going to last? Especially considering they wouldnt be wearing a lid if they were doing their makeup.
Personally, I think it'd be kinda comical.
That would be kinda awesome. I can see the DVD specials now "Worst motorcycle crashes vol 18: Tire Blowouts"

Again Webster....YOU"RE TALKING ABOUT THE "GAS FORM" of hydrogen. In between when an object is a solid and becomes a gas there is a ubber -hot steam given off called vapor. Once it comes in contact with another solid condensation takes place.
For a more crude example...Boil a pot of water and watch what happen to the steam when it comes in contact with your ceiling. Jesus didn't make those water caplets.

Actually I kinda liked your Michael Jackson analogy.
If we all boycotted the two major gas companies, i think its exxon and mobile, wouldnt they have to lower their prices to compete and gain back customers? As a result all the rest would start lowering to stay even. Im not saying dont buy gas, thats stupid, but dont buy from the two big ones. Its supply and demand, thats the way any seling market works.
