Light, Sweet Crude

When they talk about the price of oil, they always mention that the price is for light, sweet crude. I often wondered what that meant. I thought of a guy drinking a glass of oil when another guy asks, "How's that taste?" "It tastes like candy. And it doesn't fill me up, you ass-faced motherf*&%er." That's what I thought light, sweet crude was.

Yesterday I received a call on my cell phone. It was an automatic message telling me that this was the second warning that my car warranty was about to expire. The funny thing was that I don't remember ever getting the first warning. Also, I bought my car used in 2001 and the warranty left on the vehicle lasted only another 2 months. Because it was a GM Certifed Used car then threw in an additional 3 months, so I'm pretty sure my warranty expired quite some time ago. Also also, how did they get my cell phone number? I didn't even have a cell phone when I bought the car. Also also also, I thought dialing cell phones was a no-no for sales calls. Oh well, at least somebody called me.

Be alert! America need more lerts.

I want to let you know about a fun site - www.piratesonline.com. It's run by Disney so you know it's kid-friendly. It's based on The Pirates Of The Carribean. You get to meet and work with Capt Jack Sparraw in some cases. You can play for free, but you are limited in what you can do and buy. I think the best you can do is gain 2 levels/boats/weapons, etc. Also you only get a week of full screen action. After 7 days, its reduced to a smaller window. Be warned, it is addictive. You are sent on quests such as capturing a bad guy and marooning him on an island; you can go out and sink ships of different sizes and plunder them of their treasure; You fight skeletons, alligators, giant crabs and other wildlife. If you opt to pay, you can get everything. It's about $10/month or $80 if you want to pay for a year up-front.

I'm Lowell Cooper. And I approve this message.
