To celebrate Earth Day I plan to take a scenic drive in my V-8 Supercharged sedan and enjoy the sound of 668 horsepower.

I’ll turn on my lights and do laundry. Glo-bull warming is dumping snow on me today and net Tuesday/Wenesday.

I do think Earth Hour barbecues should become a tradition.

My Maoist suburban town always has an “Earth Day” event on the Town Common. I always go and ask various people “where's the founder of Earth Day? Where's Ira Einhorn? I was expecting to see him today”.

I may burn a big brush pile that needs to be burnt. Should I light it with an old tire?

I’m gonna fire up the old gas grill and barbeque some steaks that night. What better way to show your love for mutha Earf. Maybe have some lawn tractor races under the lights afterwards.

I use diesel fuel.

It burns slower but it gets the job done. I keep a few gallons of diesel on hand just to start fires of stuff that might be a little damp

Interesting that Elon Musk’s Space-X Starship is propelled by natural gas (Methane). Maybe he should put a banner on the side of it that reads “POWERED BY NATURAL GAS”, and rename it NG1.

I need to pick up some gardening supplies today, so the pickup truck with the big block gas V8 will get an outing. Got to feed the plants with CO2!

You should use a SMOKER at your barbecue just to drive the point home.

Gaia-worship is idolatry for the 21st century... Gaia worshipers are no better than the wankers who used to worship Bael and Moloch.

“ To celebrate Earth Day I plan to take a scenic drive in my V-8 Supercharged sedan and enjoy the sound of 668 horsepower.”

That sounds suspiciously like a Cadillac with an LT4 motor

Yep. Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with the hand-built LT4. The plaque on the engine says it was built by Anthony Terry. I just got back from my drive to celebrate Erf Day.
