“hybrid only parking”? How about suck a fat one treehuggers!

You know what grinds my gears?

Hybrid parking - UT

You want my opinion?  Well i’m going to give it to you anyway.  The University of Toledo has always had parking problems as it is, and now they want to take away parking spots for hybrids? WTF?  Why not give close parking to the obese? Its all a scam in my opinion.

This is bullshit.  Maybe some one can shed some light on this…

This is what I found out about why companies/universities do this:

“The parking is for LEED certification. It’s one of the easiest and stupidest credits you can get. Put up a few meaningless signs and bam you get a point for almost no dollars. LEED can add anywhere from 10-25% or more to the cost of a building and this is one of the points that costs almost nothing. You will see them more often as companies try to look green. No one polices it, and you can’t get a ticket, unless the rent a cops found some way to give you “green violation”.” -thetruthaboutcars.com

I agree with what this blogger said and also agree with him that I’m all for conserving resources and living within my means but I feel like these are scams.  Damn libs.

On the same note, let discuss the Flex fuel.  I drive all over mid-south Texas and have only seen ONE, ONE ethanol gas pump.  I want to say it was at HEB grocery.  I know Kroger has them as well but have not seen one. I have a Flex fuel vehicle, and I don’t plan to use the ethanol for two reasons.

1) I do not want to drive round looking for a special station
2) now that gas prices are lower, there is not much difference in the pricing here in Texas

I mean, what is the incentive?  I don’t know. Will every gas station have this in the future? What is the difference in efficiency? Leave some discussion so I can see the other side of things.

I do not have a hybrid, and I will continue to park in these spots at IKEA becasue they are open, especially when it is raining.  Thanks IKEA.

Joe: Yea, I slipped in the shower right before I got here. Got a huge bruise on my ass.

Me: Wow, how did you manage that.

Joe: Oh, well I was reaching for my beer.

Office Secretary: No, I like the Patriots

Myself: Wait, I thought you said you didn’t like Tom Brady.

Office Secretary: Well, I really like the Patriots, I just hate Tom Brady.

Myself: What?!? That’s like enjoying a Christian lifestyle, but not really liking that Jesus guy.

Yes, I will quote myself on occasion; when I find the particular saying that profound.

When entering a room for an orgy, try to be the first guy in the room and keep your back to a wall.

I really had to take a shit. Luckily I was in the shower.
