Clothes in the dryer! I didn’t think of that. Of course all my lights will be on but you have given me inspiration. I’m now thinking blow dryer, curling iron, dishwasher, oven....hope I don’t blow a fuse.

Oh yeah...I just ordered all the All in the Family dvd’s so I can watch that all day tomorrow. I even paid extra to have them rushed overnight so I could maximize the carbon footprint around this purchase.

In fact I think we should create a shipping site that will relay packages so you can decide exactly what level of carbon footprint you want to achieve. We could even have a hall of fame for those with the biggest carbon footprints on their deliveries.

It might worthy to drive around you neighborhood to jot down the addresses of those that turn off their lights...when the stuff hits the fan they will be the first knocking down your door trying to steal your well stocked supplies...lol

It’s actually 8:30 in each time zone, as it occurs. I’ll be leaving the house in the morning, so I will be sure to leave every light inside and outside the house on before I leave. And if the green nazi’s don’t like my carbon footprint, wait until they get a load of my carbon a$$print!

God inspired humans (Destroyers of the Holy Planet, if you’re a liberal) to harness electricity and to make light bulbs. I figured He did that for a reason. So, at 8:30pm local time on Saturday, I will have my lights ON, as a thank you to God that we have these things, and as a nya nya nya to those kooky enviromentalists

I'll be driving home form the Crossroads of the West Gun Show in Costa Mesa, CA.

The weight of the ammo I'm purchasing should lower my MPG, so I'll be making up for the reduced Carbon Footprint that this ridiculous stunt will supposedly save.

The world is full of Maroons.

In a big, open container, put a box of baking soda in a quart of water. Then pour a gallon of vinegar on it and watch it foam, making copious amounts of CO2.

BTW, if you want to store dry food, like rice, you can make a CO2 generator and fill the container full of CO2 before you seal it. CO2 is heavier than air, and as it fills the container, it will push the air out. Works great as a preservative.

Just use an empty plastic jug, with a plastic hose coming out of the top, looping a few times, then going into the top inlet hole of the food container. Using a lot less baking soda and clear vinegar, you won’t have to worry about it bubbling liquid up into the hose.

As the CO2 fills the container, hold a lit match by the top outlet hole on the container. When enough CO2 comes out of the outlet to put out the match, seal both holes at the top of the container.

I’ll be conducting a hi-wattage sound check for my daughter’s band at a venue in the Fort Worth area, basking in the glow of all the neon beer signs. WHeeeeee!

I am going to put the generator in the front yard and start it up to run my air compressor. The generator will also power the flood lights which will show it belching smoke. Smoke, noise and light - hopefully it will be enough to drown out the neighbors singing kumbayah. Of course I’ll have to turn on the front flood lights too so I can mow, edge, use the leaf blower, and cut some firewood with the chainsaw.

Great time to go shopping. None of the idiots will be around and it will force the stores to light up the aisles we’re in.
