PSA: Don't Forget Earth Hour 8:30p - 9:30p

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - PSA: Don't Forget Earth Hour 8:30p - 9:30p (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 3/31/2012 10:55:57 AM EDT

As we all know today is when we are supposed to celebrate Earth Hour. Apparently the hippies think that returning to medieval life is a suitable way of worshipping Gaia and thus we should all turn out the lights for an hour this evening. My suggestion is entirely the opposite, we should celebrate the rising wealth of humanity by turning all the lights on at that time.

Is this the one that we're all supposed to jump up into the air at a designated time?

Tire burning party at my place!

Beat to it

I'm saving up to take a huge dump in celebration. The methane cloud should be spectacular.

That might cause an earthquake. Or maybe a tsunami.

The fuel in my 3 cars gas tanks is fairly old. I think I will just burn it off and get new fuel.

I will make sure every TV, light and all 4 computers are running, all day.

You really ought to drain your oil pan in a ditch, beats the hell out of lugging waste oil around just to pour it out.

I'll be working at a Nuke plant tonight around that time.

This just proves that if hippies told ARFCOM to not beat your dicks with a hammer, you guys would be running to your tool boxes in gleeful anticipation of doing the opposite of what the hippies wants.

Since tire burnings are covered, I'll release a bunch of CFC's instead.

Take that, hippie

Wow, you thought long and hard over that analogy

. Your balls deep and bareback logic cannot be countered. That is some big city thinking there.

I am not impressed.

Let's lock it down, folks.

UK is going to beat UofL today around 6 or 7 o'clock.

The fires set in celebration, and burning of electricity and fuel tonight will create a carbon footprint of a city three times Lexington's size!!

I'm going to burn some tires as well.

And throw some old car batteries in a ditch.

Along with my household garbage, because fuck it, I'm already there.

I'll be at work, I'm going to turn on all the lights in the 100,000 sf warehouse to celebrate

Fire up the noisy diesel generator and use it to power about 100 light bulbs. 75 Watts each!

It needs its monthly load test, more fun than heating water.

I'm hoping for a plane to crash through the roof while they play, spewing flaming fuel on the court.

That's the kind of celebration fire I would enjoy to watch.

Sadly that will not happen and UK will more than likely win...they do have the best team their money can buy.

I have on occasion toyed with the idea of an Eternal Fuck-You-Hippies Flame foundation.

Pretty much all it would be is a big flare kind of thing.

It would be donation-based, so while it would always be lit, the bigger the foundation's cash reserves the bigger the flare.

It would make one hell of a non-profit.

I am absolutely 100% dead serious.

LB, keeper of the light of stupid.

I'm going to turn on some space heaters to make my air conditioner work harder. In addition to turning on all the lights, of course.

Just started for Eastern Time.

No lights off here.

Why would they want to wait until it gets dark to turn out the lights?

Plenty of sunshine in the daytime.

My CAR already puts out more than 10 tons of Greenhouse gases yearly...

Me turning off the lights for an hour ain't gonna help.

Fuck that noise. The Prius is staying in the garage. I'll be riding my 16 year old motorcycle with a carbureted engine and no emissions controls.

I'm sitting in the house with the big screen on, the AC set on 68, back door open, all floods outside on, both pool pumps running. I hope I'm doing my part.
