oh, the optimistic enthusiasm of youth!

but I think that in Baloo's case, he's getting sick and bloody tired of watching Jerry Spinger and General Hospital.

Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :

Well, not exactly. I was getting tired of reaching into my wallet and coming up empty. Gas and groceries aren't free, ya know, and gas has gone up almost 50% in the last year.

I heard the power went off in a large part of NM, and part of Tejas. Were you in the dark?

Baloo,

I would have thought you would have gotten a job as a shrubber for the Knights Who Say Nee....

Yes. But they are no longer the Knights Who Say Ni!. They are now... Ah, forget it. :-)

Oh, and the shrubber's name is Roger. "Robert the Shrubber" just hasn't got the same ring to it... :-)

Actually, it's more like "Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pakang-zoom!-boing *mumble-mumble*". Although the "ecky" is sometimes shown as "icky". It's sort of between the two, but I guess it's closer to "ecky"... :-)

Perhaps this means that you're the "Knights who say something -- they're not exactly sure what, however"?

Hey, Baloo, your gas only went up 50%??? Ours went up damn near 100% (From 79.9 cents/gallon one year ago at the cheapest place, to 1.579 dollars a gallon as of today.) This is ridiculous (

------------------
Man it's a real shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that.

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

Well, the deal's supposed to have been made to lower the gas prices again (which wouldn't be quite so high if the gov. didn't tax gasoline up the wazoo...), but we may not see that taking effect for a while, as the oil companies struggle to regain their obscene profit margins.

*there, I managed to sound like a conservative and a liberal in the same sentence!*

Anyway, I wish Baloo the best of hapiness in his job, even if it means it takes a bit longer to render and post my ships.
