Science Abuse Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Take away the oil and they all go back to living in tents and eating shitty hummus. Originally posted by The Stig: -BP sucks -Sunoco's prices suck -Citgo, hard to find, but I'll try -Hess, this aint florida -Conoco...ehh, any round here? -Sinclair, alsway buy from the dinosaur when I cross the plains, but they aint here. -Arco.....Arco? This is a tuffy, just shows ya how much oil actualy comes from the middle east. What kind of gas does Flying J use? You're not the only one sending them money: http://www.pitbullsaloon.com/A_View/images/Bush&Abdullah.jpgWhat pisses me off most about this is bush had the sack to critisize FDR for letting Stalin run the eastern block. Hind sight is 20/20 bioch, the Saudi's are just better at keeping their shit quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
