$3.00 gas?

Johnny..you had gruel? And sheet metal!?!

We used to have to eat hot gravel for breakfast, just before we walked 40 miles to school, uphill both ways, in a raging blizzard. We had no shoes, so by the time we got to school, we had no feet left.

But we were happy.

Th; some great monty phython there! "You had a shoe box!?" He,he.

Anyway; I can't wait to price reaches $3/gallon! That is almost half price compared to today! (In my Scandinavien home country).

If gas gets to $3/gal, I may try to add cheap vodka to my tank as a budget measure.

Speaking of which, anyone see that experiment where these guys took a bottle of the cheapest vodka they could find and passed it through a brita pitcher? After 3-4 'charcoal filtrations' they taste tested it against premium vodkas and it compared favorably.

Do a google for "brita vodka" and you'll probably get it. Interesting. Only thing I couldnt find is any info on whether the brita filter was hosed after those 3-4 passes, if it was good for another couple of bottles, or if it was still good for water.

I wonder what happens if you put gas through a brita?

LOL! I'm trying not to wake my family right now, but my face is hurting holding back the laughter!

That Brita vodka filter story reminds me of my days at the University of Hawaii when we took an empty 2 litre bottle of coke, a bucket half full of water, a shower head, and a half pound of a local's "crop" and in the end had every smoke alarm in the dorm building going off....creative spirit of youth.

a half pound of a local's "crop"

Sugar cane?

Right! And Pineapple, too!

Do not mix soda pop and dry ice inside a plastic bottle.
The local police will call in the bomb squad and call it a felony for having explosives.

Don't ask me how I know.
