And we have a new record!!! $140 a barrel!!! Weeeeee

Edited on Thu Jun-26-08 05:09 PM by Javaman

and to make things soooooo much better, the dow drops like a rock!!! down almost 360 points!!!

so this is what life is like at the end of the empire. I can't even imagine what the value of the dollar is right now.

:banghead:

5. Who can afford beer anymore?

Except for us smug types who set up our lives so we wouldn't have to buy much gas in the first place

(And yes, I know rising oil effects all prices, spare me the lecture)

7. I am not really smug about it.

More like content to be biking.

I am more upset by the amount of road rage that is going on around here.

3. I like your new name for the Dow

"The Down"

:evilgrin:

Don't worry, the empire will survive. We're all dead where we stand, though.

6. Don't be a Debbie Downer...I fell to close at a calm $139.64

:cry:

As for the DOW...I said earlier today. I've given up on any hopes of ever retiring. I'll be working up until the day I die. With the pressure of coming up with money for retirement off my back, I'm now much happier.

8. When Dubya said he'd jawbone OPEC

to get the price down, he didn't know the proper oral technique.

Not surprising, I hear he's more into hot paperclips and buzzcuts.

9. See here, when you have a computer problem, it used to be

that windoze was the culprit, but when you have an empire without umpires.... well then you had better look at the operator of the empire to see where the fault may lie.... I'm just sayin'.

10. Got Any Silver Or Gold Fillings?

Those prices went up today. So it's not all bad :sarcasm:

Ironically I just went out and the traffic in Pleasant Valley Sunday is bumper-to-bumper...most with their ACs cranking and yaking on cellphones. I could just see all the money going up into the air. People still are out and going...just not sure where.
