OK, here are the rules:

Each Day, first poster for the day may publish a new topic for the day. Everyone gets to post. However, you have to see just how far away from the topic (and other posters) you can get.

Ready?

OK, Topic for the day is...

Automobile Prices

I heard that Starbucks is getting ready to unveil a new line of boutique gasolines. Based on their current pricing structure, it will likely sell for somewhere around US $35.00/gallon ($55 in California). Already, lending companies are lining up to accept applications for second mortages to pay for purchases of the new gasoline. And, while the Starbucks gas stations will have the familiar barista in attendance, just as in current gas stations they won't actually do anything.

One person, upon hearing this news, is reported to have exclaimed, "Great boB, it's getting so that a tank of gas costs more than the price of a new car!"

(I think extra credit should be given for an OT post that somehow manages to make a tenuous connection back to the topic at the end.)

That's incredible how the FDA doesn't crack down on these snail oil salesmen peddling diet scams and other crap like that.

A federal cluestick should come down on their heads big time!

I wonder who was that funny guy who wrote "Rice Rice Baby?" That was a parody of "Ice Ice Baby" made by Vanilla ice a white rapper.

It's incredible how the Democrats are blaming Condi Rice for the "snub" of Jimmy Carter at the Pope's funeral.

Funeral? There hasn't been a papal funeral in more than two decades, in which time lots of historical incidents took place.

You know, when I was growing up, I just loved to eat corned beef hash. I loved it so much, when they offered me baked ham, I refused (unless I was hungry which was most of the time).

My thumb is so brown that I can even kill cactus and ivy when trying to grow them.

Oil is an interesting commodity. The colder the temps, the more oil costs. Now, if only those in Venzuela would agree...

we could get it really cheap.

I just heard that C1@l1$ and V1@gr@ are also being touted as a cure for skin rash. At least, that's what all those emails claim, and since I read it on the Internet, it MUST be true Rolling Eyes
