I just got back from one of my patented late night drives and I had a “vision,” as I watched some poor fool fill up my tank—while at some egregious New Jersey gas station.
“Designer gas.”
That’s right, you heard it here first.
Soon enough, gas will only be for the very wealthy. Normal folk, like most of you, will be forced to ride to work on horses or bicycles. So, in order to cater to the rich, why not have Prada or Gucci gas stations?
Better yet, why not commingle famous art galleries with gasoline stations?
“Sotheby’s Gas”
One could pick up a Picasso, while spending 2g’s for a full tank of “luxurious” grade fuel.
Aside from that, I was thinking of new “stylish” ways to heat homes.
How about this:
“Corn Cob Fireplaces or Furnaces”
Instead of fucking with the environment, by using filthy fossil fuels to heat our homes, do what the Government does: burn corn.
One would just shovel thousands of corn cobs into his fireplace, while watching the poor schmucks in Egypt scurry about—looking for rice.
As for Asian trading:
China is getting its lips punched off again. I’m sure the asshats here in the States will view that as a buying opportunity for chicom stocks, which have been on an unbelievable roll—compressing [[FXP]] to the lows of 2008.
NOTE: Larry Kudlow pimp smacked Dennis Kneale this evening, when Dennis tried to applaud the drop in the dollar and exclaim a 50% drop in the Shanghai was “good news.” Dennis also went on to say the 100% spike in flour was no biggie, since the price of bread has “only risen by 8%.” Apparently Dennis believes the additional cost to the producer of bread will just be subsidized by the Government or something.
Not a bad idea for Captain Treasury.
If one of you fuckers has that video clip, please share it.

Fuck Oil! It’s so 20th century. All anyone will be talking about in about in 6 months is thermopower. You heard it here first.
This “designer gas” sounds intriguing.
I bet those clever “gasoline engineers” could make it give off unique aromas while it burns. For instance “citrus blast”, “mountain spring”, “morning coffee”, or even “southwestern chipotle”.
I bet people will run their cars with the windows down and the garage door closed, for hours on end, taking in lungful after lungful of their favorites.
Fly, my mom can’t pump her own gas either.
Dipshit:
In NJ it is illegal to pump your own gas.
Wood:
Send me your books, NOW!
We need it.
Nah Woody.. it’s the Garden State Way. If you try to pump your own gas someone will be pissed off at you cause you are putting them out of a job. The state actually protected the gas jockeys instead of giving them a thousand dollar severance and sending them to object oriented programming classes for reclassification.
Fuck it Fly, I was trying to explain it before you butted in.
So what you are saying is that you drove out of NY into NJ so you didn’t have to pump your own gas. I’m just saying that sounds like something my mom would do…
RBS raising 23 B in new capital – no wonder LIBOR was faked – someone might have freaked out and the other shoe might have dropped
Gas-thirsty vehicles are a hit in China
By JOE McDONALD • ASSOCIATED PRESS • April 21, 2008
Auto sales in China are booming, with analysts and automakers forecasting growth at 15-20 percent this year. But demand for the biggest vehicles is even stronger, with sales of luxury cars and SUVs expected to surge by 40-45 percent.
Gas costs 5.34 yuan (76 cents) a liter or 20.5 yuan ($2.90) a gallon. State oil companies are barred from passing on rising crude costs to consumers, instead covering their losses out of profits from their drilling units.
You really thing oil is coming back down????
Yes, RBS just priced in its shareholders for 24 biooion. Cheer, bow to the golden bull, where the heck is Dick Cow, I miss him since this morning. This is absolutely fantastic news! Not for the shareholders of record from yesterday, who were just priced in, however this is exactly the kind of news that the markets crave! The indeterminate term bottom is in.. the market is a forward looking discount mechanism.. short and shallow.. don’t fight the Fed.. murdering Hank will kill you if you don’t buy RBS shares, at yesterday’s prices, retroactively.
FXP is soooo yesterdays (winning) investment. Get off that train, raise some cash & deploy elsewhere.
HSI is about to break the all important 25k barrier. Go long FXI here.
Food shortages hitting California and elsewhere. Falling home prices, foreclosures, high gas prices, and now food rationing! What’s next? Buy a gun and prepare for the riots?

Food shortages and rationing has been a third-world problem as of late, but recently, the phenomenon once thought unthinkable in the United States could start happening.
The New York Sun newspaper is reporting that major retailers on both coasts are limiting customers’ purchases of flour, rice and cooking oil.
The Sun reports that a Costco Warehouse in California ran out of rice, frustrating shoppers. “Where’s the rice?” an engineer from Palo Alto, Calif., Yajun Liu, said. “You should be able to buy something like rice. This is ridiculous.”
The rice that is left is selling at near one dollar a pound, and in some areas, customers report paying about $30 for a 25-pound bag.
Most Costco members were only allowed to buy only one bag. One clerk reportedly dropped two sacks back on the stack after taking them from a customer who tried to buy more than the one bag limit.
“Due to the limited availability of rice, we are limiting rice purchases based on your prior purchasing history,” a sign above the dwindling supply said,
Vampires will suck your blood till your close to death. Then they’ll ask you to get up and run on the treadmill so they can make more money!
Designer gas is for asshats…that is why it will probably take. How about Playboy Gas Stations…some one should talk to heffener.
