We've gotten our financial asses kick in the past 20 years. We do stick our necks out whenever oil interests are involved, which nobody on the planet should complain about. If you don't like Americans watch The Andy Griffith Show.
.

There is a basic truth in all of America. We all want to be from Mayberry ...where everybody get along, where the town-drunk is still a friend, where there is no hate, where old retired fire fighters are the heroes of little children...

It's a Utopian Ideal that I am certain is Universal. We all have our Mayberry.

ps I have a seppo on my property. I am very proud of the crap it takes and it asks for nothing except every 7 years it needs to be checked. We all should strive for Seppo-ness. All Hail the Shite-Tank!!!

Except for the poor sods who happen to live where the oil is and end up being bombed back into the stone age. Or anyone outside America who might want access to some oil at some point in the future. Or anyone concerned about the money being spent on securing dwindling oil supplies that could be going into developing alternatives.

But apart from that, no one at all. No one important anyway.

Cheers

This goes pretty well with his broader point about Mayberry.

Really enjoyed the suggestion that Americans quietly accept their fate and just deal with things as best they can though.

You in the diplomat biz by chance?

Thanks for being on my side..."suggestion" ...I think


I apologize regarding the nobody comment. I must clarify. No user of oil products should complain. BTW the US gets 90% of its oil at home.

Not since your fields peaked in the 70's. In 2011 the US imported 49% of its oil needs as a gross figure (from the EIE annual report). In BTU terms it was 68% as domestic supply is generally low quality and yields more heavy fractions.

No user of oil products... except those who who are being bombed back to the stone age, live outside the US or are concerned with money being spent to secure dwindling supplies rather than look for alternatives. Other than those oil users, no one at all....

America f_ck YEAH!

Or I could just be cranky because my car $hat its self over the weekend. $2.5K to fix minimum. Time to go car shopping.

I am giving that some consideration...Might keep the old chassis and do a plug in conversion on it.

HA!

Warmbeer - to save on a retraction or a post-structural debate on semantics and syntactics and the truth of the text, it would just be easier if you could now please call me an idiot.


Also: after 12 months (approx) of fanatical Golden Promise worship, grinding up my first batch of Maris Otter for ...err...well, 12 months, and chomping on it was magical. In hindsight I think I went with GP as I used a bag of GP AFTER a bag of MO when pretty new to AG so I forgot about the variable of 'brewer improvement', thus blamed MO for a number of things. But I dare say in 4-6 weeks time all will be forgiven as I knock down a delicious esb.

Also also: I'm getting on it tonight as part of a celebratory function.

And a few last things: there are no green mammals and the Brontosaurus was a **** up (the category that is; I'm not implying that the animal was some kind of social outcast that fell outside the norms of other dinosaurs).

I enjoy the comic stylings of Stephen Fry et al.

Are you implying that Canadian and Mexican oil is sub par?
In any instance, the cartels will soon force military intervention by the US down south which will in turn provide the perfect opportunity to leverage a little 'protection' racquet on Americas behalf. As for the hosers, have scientists perfected force fields yet? Better hurry up fellas before Uncle Sam decides you spilt his drink.

Odd that the the price of gas in the states keeps climbing. Should play nicer with the a-rabs i spose.

Dubya did, and look where that got him.

Unger's "House of Bush, House of Saud" taught me all I need to know about that chapter in US history.

I just entered 'House of Bush' into a search engine. A very interesting chapter in history indeed. 70's porn is very different to most of today's offerings in many ways.

How about that. Drinking a Kostrizer from a bottle for the first time ever and it says they use hop extract and hops. I'll never piss on oettinger again.

Hey Domino's Pizza are making so much money that they can now sponsor medical research. Excellent results so far.

According to the label, Oettinger use hop sextract.

2 cranes provided a vigorous shake for 50 seconds and the worlds biggest keg was force carbed, making today's friday work BBQ pissup the best ever.

Or....The Lilliputians decided that if Gulliver's behaviour didn't change during this weeks kegger, he would face an intervention come Monday.
