So, while my ears were almost at the verge of bleeding...one of the moms jokingly said- smile, grin and all, "this is like Armageddon!" - I almost fell out of my seat! "a whaattt???!" I could have slapped her crazy right there and then. Does she even know what she's saying?! She shouldn't even joke about it! Armageddon will be the last thing she'll ever want right now! She's either trying to be funny, plain ignorant or plain stupid! Then she started bragging about the new lot that they bought yadda yadda yadda - show-off! All the other moms went silent at this point...Thank heavens! but it didn't last long...women!!!
As for that "Mrs. Show-off's" Armageddon stunt, I was reminded of the movie by the same title where Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler starred in. I liked the movie and the visual rendition of it. It's a very scary sight but then it also offers hope at the end with a little sacrifice in the process. ( You think that mom will be a good sacrifice? Maybe then, she'll KNOW exactly what she's talking about!)
Oh btw, if this gas problem isn't resolved soon - I'm either walking to work or staying at home doing house chores (all day)! - Not sure which is worst. Some of our members here has already informed us that they can't go to work or here because they don't have gas. One of them checked 20 gas stations and they're all dry!!! - ah can we use A-1 sauce instead??? huh funny!!! Ok I'm talking to myself now...
Dang! can I just blame all them politicians??? eh, where's our tax money now ha!? Gas people, beat it! we need gas not your stinky gas! Anyone else experiencing the same shortage?
P.S. my Promo giveaway is open till Oct 15th. Come and join! It's my first. Please make it memorable for me :)
A funnier version of GAS:
Mom on Gas- Que Horror
LOL @ your rant and and rave. My goodness, I didn't see all of that coming out of little old you young lady!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the whole gas thing that you guys are experiencing right now. Where are you located? One of my friend's in GA is experiencing the same thing. I can just imagine how hectic things would be down here in the Bay Area if this happens.
Don't know about the A-1 sauce, but you might wanna go on a chicken frying frenzy and use the left over oil, lol.
Wow..I had no idea! If it's not one thing it's always another isn't it? I sure hope that the government can do something like they do in crisis situations and help your area out. Get some gas in there somehow.
ReplyDeleteYou should do some research on armegeddon as it's talked about in the bible..it's actually God's war and something to be looked forward to...something that is going to bring lasting peace and an end to all these rediculous problems we have to go through :) But then thats not what that lady ment when she said it..I'm sure all those movies it brought to mind is exactly what she was talking about.
What is going on? Where is the gas?
ReplyDeleteYou're right...sometimes people say the stupidest things (and sometimes I'm one of them...LOL)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...you can't fool around with comments like that...We have gas here--South GA--for now, at least.
ReplyDeleteI just posted about the gas situation today. Terrible isn't it? i filled up last week so I am good for now. I hope it gets better next week.
ReplyDeleteI live in Raleigh and YES it happened here last weekend!!! It was a NIGHTMARE when I was nearly on E trying to find a gas pump available! And today there is only 87 available (course I always use 87 so that was ok...LOL).
ReplyDeleteOOOOOO, I like the new banner.... very pretty =)
ReplyDeleteThe gas situation is crazy! Not armageddon though, you're right about that :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I'm hearing about this too!! Sounds awful...unless you get to stay home from work...then, maybe not so bad. :)
ReplyDeleteHey not sure if my comment ever came through. Just letting you know I was out of gas as of Friday, finally got it on Saturday. Hubby was sweet enough to get up super early and go look for it. Hope it gets back to normal soon. This is crazy!
ReplyDeleteErin
The gas station by our house only lets us get $50.00 worth of gas at one time. Crazy I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteThrowing ironing comments is sometimes not appropriate in situations like this. I'm sorry about your gas shortage, must be awful for those who need to drive long for work. Or was it a strike and they refuse to sell out?
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! How's the situation now? I hope it's back to normal now. Do you have bicycle you can use? Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteArmageddon? That's something no one should even think about.
