ROTFFLMFAO....

If you laugh your ass off, little man, there will nothing left for your
children to inherit.

WTF are you talking about you fat old pedophile?


It figures you don't even know what the "...LMFAO" in ROTFFLMFAO stands
for...

BTW, you are far more likely to be a pedophile. You, after all, are the
one who spends your days, nights, and weekends with an underaged girl.
That in itself is weird.

I will admit to being old. With your heart condition, stupidity, and
lack of access to good medical care, you are unlikely to achieve "old."
Your early death will just be another of your life cycle failures.

Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within the

gallon on gas.

So, where's the issue? Surely no one is doubting that Harry and his
lovely (in his words) bride
spend $1000 on food in 30 days!

It's easy to spend $1000 a month at Giant when you have a list of
families in need of food and prescriptions and you help them out with
gift cards. We also buy food to donate to a local food bank. We average
about $500 a month in gift card purchases for the needy, and I average
$1.00 off per gallon on a tankful of gas once a month. We'd donate
without the gas savings, but it is nice to get it.

One of our friends buys gift cards at Target and Sears to help out needy
families trying to keep clothes on their kids' backs.

These are really tough times for many American families, and the
availability of services is diminishing rapidly.

After all, the super rich depend upon those Bush tax cuts for their
every meal.



Of course the "gift card" purchases do not apply to the gas discount.
But you knew that.

and causing inflation in every sector of retail.


NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in a historic
selloff,
erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the months-long
climb in
energy prices may have hit a ceiling.

Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors unloaded
their
positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into an outright
freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple digits to
double
digits, falling below $100 after opening at close to $110.
Brent
crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point in a
sell-off that
exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers' collapse, Reuters
reported.

An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the price is
moving
toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it should
be. For the
American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising energy prices
that have
begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of respite may
be at
hand.
You know the old adage, gas prices go up like a rocket and
fall like a
feather
Yes, I also know the story about Chicken Littlle
Having nothing to do with what we are talking about.

It is a fact that gas prices go up with oil prices but they lag
the
fall of oil prices by several weeks or even months.
If oil dropped to $60 tomorrow, gasoline might not reflect that
for a
month or more.
Chicken Little was afraid of the sky falling. Right wing nuts are
convinced the world is ending and rising oil prices are
supposedly an
example. Totally appropriate comment.
`
The world isn't ending, but we are losing value in the dollar and
that
shows up in oil or anything else we import. You can live in denial
if
you like.
Yet the price of oil is dropping... I guess my denial is working.
Let me know when you get the gas prices down to two bucks. Thanks a
bunch
I can remember when we considered $2 gas to be expensive. It was
only 10 or 11 years ago.
I paid $4.30 for gas today... I don't see anything coming down, any
time
soon...

I paid $2.97 something for 23 gallons today. It really must suck to be
you. That was at Shell, with a dollar a gallon discount courtesy of
shopping at the supermarket.
Bull****. That's 10 cents a gallon discount. You are a ****ing liar of
you say you get a dollar a gallon off.
LOL, It is obvious that Harry Krause is losing it. You know he didn't
want to make such a blatant mistake, but his mind is slipping big time.
He read somewhere about a discount, but he couldn't remember the amount,
so he guessed it was a $1 off


Talk about morons...jesus.

Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a gallon
discount.

You dumb****s can't even handle simple grade school math.
Bull****. They do the same here, and that's not the way it works. You
never get more than a dime a gallon off. You are a ****ing liar. Here's
how it works. When you spend 100 bucks at the store, you get 10 cents
off a gallon for 100 gallons. If you spend 1000 at the store, you get 10
cents off a gallon for 1000 gallons. Idiot.
You're still here, **** for brains?

I'll bet you $1000 you are wrong. Here, you can get $1.00 off a gallon
if you spend $1000 at the supermarket in a given 30-day period. And you
can save more if you spend more.

Put up or shut up, **** for brains.

And that goes for you, too, Loogy.
Okay, deal! We'll bet a grand that I'm not loogy, also. Put up or shut
up, **** for brains.
I don't give a **** whether you are loogy or not. It is enough that you
act like loogy.

Now, are you willing to take my bet for $1,000 or not, **** for brains?
I'm not that interested in your real identity, because by whatever name
you call yourself, you still stink like ****.

Got balls to back up your mouth?

Didn't think you did.

Are you willing to take MY bet? Got balls to back up your mouth? Didn't
think so.

One more time, **** for brains.

It doesn't matter whether you are loogy...or not.

You behave just like loogy. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, you
*are* loogy. I don't care who you "really" are. You're just another one
of the nearly brain dead assholes who hang out here.

There's nothing to be gained with your bet. If you want to prove you are
not loogy, no one will stop you. If you want to continue to behave as if
you are loogy, then posters here will call you loogy.

You are absolutely wrong about your claims in the Giant supermarket
fuel discount. It's easy enough to prove you wrong.

Well, then prove me wrong.

All the gas stations down here are within a penny of each other for

Well, since you very rarely leave your basement, and from your size it
appears that you can easily eat $1000 of groceries a week, it is easy
for you to always pay $1 less per gallon.

For the rest of us, it would take over a month to spend $1000 at the
grocery store, and we fill up at least once a week.

Y'all crybabies down there have it made.

Surely, the fact that crude oil prices have nothing to do with

Nope, not a bit. Bush put a stop to that when he was pocketing
all the oil money. It appears 'Bama
is carrying on the tradition.

Well..... politicians are politicians.....


A very interesting theory that Bush was pocketing all the oil money
and Obama is doing the same.


Idiocy on parade, courtesy of Herring.


The Bush family was in the oil business and many of his allies came
from oil, I don't recall Obama or Obama's family in any similar
situation.

Hunter gatherers and witch doctors.

Obama's friends are all into ethanol... 150 ethanol refineries just in

Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within the same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.

So, where's the issue? Surely no one is doubting that Harry and his lovely (in his words) bride
spend $1000 on food in 30 days!

It's easy to spend $1000 a month at Giant when you have a list of
families in need of food and prescriptions and you help them out with
gift cards. We also buy food to donate to a local food bank. We average
about $500 a month in gift card purchases for the needy, and I average
$1.00 off per gallon on a tankful of gas once a month. We'd donate
without the gas savings, but it is nice to get it.

One of our friends buys gift cards at Target and Sears to help out needy
families trying to keep clothes on their kids' backs.

These are really tough times for many American families, and the
availability of services is diminishing rapidly.

After all, the super rich depend upon those Bush tax cuts for their
every meal.

Ahhh ha ha ha... And the lie takes on a whole 'nuther aspect... LOL!

We have three major grocery stores here...Giant, Safeway, and Food Lion.
Their prices are comparable. No Magruders, sadly.

All the gas stations down here are within a penny of each other for
regular. Saving $1.00 a gallon for a fill-up leaves $23 in my pocket.

Well, since you very rarely leave your basement, and from your size it
appears that you can easily eat $1000 of groceries a week, it is easy
for you to always pay $1 less per gallon.

For the rest of us, it would take over a month to spend $1000 at the
grocery store, and we fill up at least once a week.

Y'all crybabies down there have it made.
Wife just spent $240.00 CDN for next weeks groceries at a local
supermarket... and this doesn't even count most paper products etc that
we pick up at Costco
No problem spending a grand a month up here on grub... and that would be
equal to about $1050. of your funny money.


Food in the Washington, D.C., area has always been considered
"expensive." The prices probably are very similar to what you pay.
Beef is very, very expensive here. The saving grace for us is that we're
not beef fans, although we do eat the occasional steak or burger.

Of all the traditional dinner staples, chicken is still the most
reasonably priced. Fortunately, we like chicken and there are a zillion
ways to fix it.

Fresh fish is also pricey.

It's not difficult to spend $250 a week for food and staples for two
people at the grocery store.

My wife works downtown in an area that was once dominated by inexpensive
and very good Chinese restaurants. Many of these are now gone, replaced
by expensive "name-brand" restaurants and upscale sandwich shops where a
simple lunch is $7 to $10.
