The Sheep Celebrate Earth Hour

Posted on 03/28/2009 5:52:45 PM PDT by George Stupidnopolis

It's 8:00 CST. At 8:30 the sheep of the world are turning their lights off to "Save The Planet." Personally, I'm walking around the house turning on every light and appliance I own. Hell, I may burn some steel belted radials just to add to the glare. Flip on those lights, folks!

Lol...

I’d run out and put the Christmas lights back up, but it would take me too long....

Everything burning brightly in my house, other than that.

I have 32 incandescent bulbs burning, 2 tv’s on, computer, washing and drying a load of towels with hot water heated by electric and dried on high heat. I'm sure my neighbors are pissed at me. My husband even hung up some Christmas lights and they are on too. Other than us, our apartment complex is pretty dark.

I did move out the refrigerator though and vacuumed the back of it, got lots of cat hair off of it.

It's 8:00 CST.

Really? Not CDT? I was unaware of central timezones that didn't change...

Every light indoors, 2 big screen TV’s, porch light, computers. Playing music loud with the window open. Yep, I’m celebrating.

I got so hot moving the frig and doing the laundry that I just turned on the a/c. Have to make sure it’s in good working order.

Lukewarm response by the moonbat community.

I used as much electric as possible while most of my idiot neighbors sat in the dark. They better not even think about saying anything to me as most of them think nothing about flipping their cigarette butts all over. I pick up their butts because I can’t stand to look at them. Mind you, they recycle their beer and pop cans but can’t bother to use even one can to deposit their butts in.

I started my jeep and left it idling in the driveway.

Then started my Harley and did the same.

Had to run all the gas out of my snowblower and checked my lawnmower, rototiller, and wood chipper (they run pretty well).

Washer and dryer are running. All lights in my garage are on (two story upper floor has 12 incandesent lights, ground floor 8 lights). Ran the garage doors up and down for a while to lube the tracks.

Was going to start the hot tub up but its too dark to find the drain and close it (plus I think there are skunks living down there).

In house ran dishwasher, cooked dinner late on purpose. Had two tvs and two computers on. Electric blanket getting the bed warmed.

Earlier today I went to my deceased parents farm and started a trash fire - threw two tires on to get it going.

My neighbors STILL have their stupid Obama sign in their yard.

Man am I tired!

I don’t have television so didn’t know about it.

There is a time for every season . . . and when it’s night time, it’s turn on the lights time.

LOL...thats what happened here. We have several ceiling lights on dimmer switches; and I never have them all cranked up at once. Wow, its bright here.

Everybody was ‘lit’ in my neighborhood. The two ‘darkened’ houses are Pitt fans, so I just ‘guess’ they went somplace to watch the big game (sadly Pitt lost).

The news should be ‘glowing’ on the reports of those ‘respecting Mother Earth.’

Not only that - but as soon as 9:30 was over, they went back to their usual BLINDING outdoor & indoor lites! Every night - they have a lite over their garage, a lamp at the end of their driveway & another light on the porch - I could turn every light in my house off & still be able to read in the living room if I open my curtains!

They use more lights than anyone else on the street - but they invited people over to have one hour of darkness to help save the earth! It's laughable!
