2. We could just pop your zits.
Plenty of oil there, I imagine?

4. That's true, but engines run on fossil-based fuel, not pizza-based.
And you are mean.

She might give a half-hearted right hook, but one could buy me for a half-eaten slice of deep dish pizza, I think.

26. I deserved that.
For every hour I age on DU, I think my mental age is actually shrinking. :D

29. You say you deserved it, but
you didn't say "Thank you sir, may I have another." You know you want to.

And if our mental age is creeping backwards, I'm in zygote stage right now.

3. I've never done it there, but
I have in Redwoods National Park, among other protected areas.

No pun intended with "protected areas," of course.



But, if you're talking about oil...never.

I just want a lot of perverts to post in my threads. . . :spank:

9. I am not a prevert.
Merely a libertine and a hedonist.

Now, let us celebrate Dionysus with a drunken orgy!

20. "Orgy" is so crass. I prefer "clusterf*ck"
to describe the situation we're in in Iraq.

like a fish needs a bicycle.

31. I have sent on more "action" e-mails on this issue than I can count
Bad idea. Disturbs the wildlife, possibly forever. Produces very little little oil. There are much better alternatives, but Bush* has no regard for the environment or for the impact on wildlife.:grr:

33. I cum from old oil-money, out of Pennsylvania...
...My ancestors raped Texas, then moved on to the Middle East. But I'm happy to say that my grandfather's generation put the kibosh on even more destruction and chaos after WW II. Well, he kinda had to---he could never make peace with the Brits. Them limeys carved up Iran and Iraq like a Christmas goose, and they threw their lot in with CIA and the Mellons. Among others.

So my answer to you, M-jean03, is quite simple: Drill until I hit paydirt, and then drill some more.

Gosh, women are never satisfied, are they?

36. Sorry! I apologize for hijacking yer thread...
...But once in a while, I feel like being honest. Usually after half a dozen Dewars-and-sodas. I'll admit that my family's past is not relevant to this topic. For the record, I'm against any drilling in protected areas, and I try to do what I can, financially and otherwise, to foster ALL alternative forms of energy. This is the ONLY sane plan for the future, and I say this as someone whose own history is mired in the muck of liquid coal, okay?

Lova ya.

37. No Problem whatsoever. I find all your posts very interesting.
You're obviously an excellent writer, as you can make anything interesting.

I'm just being silly and irreverent today, and felt like calling you names. :pals:
