I once knew a "Dr> Martin......he proved to be a quack.... Why would any one pay extra money for overpriced boots with his name on them ?

I don't know about my carbon foot print, but I can leave a pretty good methane trail...:lol:
Apart from all that farting around, me and mrs tac have quite few gas guzzlers to our credit -
Our daily drive-around family car here in yUK is a Mercedes-Benz ML350 - an SUV that does about 22 mpg in great style and comfort. My week-end runaround is my ex-California 25-year-old 380SL convertible - does about 24mpg in great etc…
We also have a 1978-built Vickers main battle tank Chieftain Mk 11 - it’s a diesel, so the 2 gallons per mile is not THAT bad…showing off to the paying public is a bit pricey though, but the world went on for quite a while before I got here, eh?
…and an Abbot 105mm SP gun - that’s also a diesel, and does a whole lot better than the Chieftain, in fact, at 2/3mpg it’s a giant leap in economy!!
…and an ex-Iraqi 2S1 - the 122mm SP howitzer. That not only runs on diesel, but on the very lowest quality stuff you can find to put in it, also around 3mpg providing we don’t do any amphibious stuff with it…
and back over in Canada we have a 3.5 litre Plymouth Voyager…not exactly an economy drive, but not too bad.
Just to put things into context, each Indy 500 uses on average over a quarter of a million gallons of maximum pollution fuel…and a conventionally-powered US aircraft carrier moving at 30kt uses a gallon of bunker fuel oil every 9 feet.

Well , Tac , with all that hardware , we all know where you are headed when the greenies really get going .
You see , the problem is , you are having way too much fun . How dare you ?
ps can I borrow the Chieftain to go shopping in Oxford St ? I promise not to use the “bus only” lanes .

I agree with your comments. Each nutbar group is spouting scare messages on the World is ending, save the whales, save or stop this & that to the masses to seek private & government funding for THEIR research…Can you say?..“Make me rich”…They can ALWAYS save us, if only we send enough money to them…This Old Rock has gone through several climate changes since the beginning…before we were even a speck on the scene…and just as the sun is certain to rise in the morning…we will experience climate changes well into the future…as long as this Old Rock is bobbing along…asteriod stikes not counted.
The best bumper sticker I’ve seen: “nuke the gay whales” … of course you could improve on it, but I actually saw this one.

Quote:I saw an amusing bumper sticker the other day. It had one of those "breast cancer awareness" pink ribbons with the slogan, "Save The Ta-Ta's"

Damn squirrels. I’ve got 5 walnut trees in the yard and have never gotten a good nut yet. The darn things get them before I can. Strip the trees bare. Then they have the gall to sit on my front porch all winter long shucking them and leaving the mess behind for ME to clean up. I agree with Fred, let’s pickle them all…
Then, maybe Fred will share some of his good stuff and we can get pickled…
