Here at the Hopey Changey Roosh household, we are concerned for the environment too.
We’re all wearing Green to celebrate the coming rescue by Brrr Ack! Obanana of our besieged Mother Earth.
After reading Mitch’s alarming post, I convened an ad hoc family symposium! Starting today, we only turn on our L.E.D. Christmas (er – sorry to offend) X-Mas lights during off-peak hours (2:20-2:40 AM) so please stop by then to enjoy their glorious splendor.
We have our thermostat set for a cozy 52 degrees, but we’re a Snuggly-Wuggly clan! Plus, we have discovered coats and snow pants aren’t just for the outdoors any more! Yay!
Our Turkey was interviewed before we chose it to make sure that it wasn’t mistreated, and we made sure to buy one that died of old age.
Yum.
In order to thwart Global Warming Cooling Change, we are walking to Church as a family this year! It’s 4.9 miles by car but we should be able to shave some of that by cutting through yards and crossing streets diagonally, like The Crosstown Highway 62. It’ll be a swell time to try out our new Vegan-Tanned Ethical Leather shoes!
Gift-giving is another way to express your rage for the Bush Administration, Corporations, Employers, Wall Street, Exxon, SUV Owners, Methane-Leaking Cows, Taxpayers, Jon Voight, God-Fearing Bible Bangers, Plumbers and Hockey Moms.
First of all, we’re really into recycling, so all of our gifts are recycled this year too!
I can’t wait to see the look on Great Grandpa’s face when he unwraps my son’s Playstation 2! We didn’t want to contribute to the slaughter of our forests so we wrapped it in Saran Wrap.
A guy in the cube next to me says he read an email from an old girlfriend whose Mom’s boyfriend knows a lab assistant that said manufacturing new gifts releases more carbon trioxide into the environment which has created a massive tidal wave of Arctic runoff that is heading towards Florida and is going to come ashore next Wednesday.
So we did our part.
Not to worry, the kids won’t be disappointed! They’re all getting their own Starter Kits for Change! Wait ’till all their little friends see this!
…a super-cool, eco-friendly, gift that keeps on giving! Packed full of green goodies that include a recycled, reusable tote bag, and arbor day tree seedling or “tree in a box”, fair trade hot chocolate, a treeless journal, soduku booklet, compact fluorescent light bulb, gratitude cards, and an envelope to end hunger.
Fun! Yay!
Merry Christmas to you Hopey Change types – and everyone else too.
Merry Christmas to all!
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…”
Merry Christmas to all!
I shall be headed into Hilo this morning in search of the ‘deeply discounted’ Christmas items I’ve heard so much about.
It’s 25 miles one-way from my house to Hilo. My vehicle is a Ford Ranger with a V6 & it gets about 18 MPG. This handy calculator, http://www.fueleconomy.gov/Feg/co2.shtml
tells me that my 50 mile round trip will produce 55.555… pounds of CO2.
So if it’s a little warmer in MN this afternoon you can consider it a little Christmas gift from me to you.
Terry, I have a brother that lives in Hawaiian Beaches (near Pahoa). If you happen to see a guy riding around on a yellow and purple HD Trike, tell ’em Swifty sent you.
The Big Island is a small island in terms of population. There can’t be more than a single yellow & purple HD trike here. I’ll look for him.
Motorcycles emit Carbon Trioxide don’t they?
Down with Assyrian Greek oppression! Up the Maccabees!
And they said Judah Maccabee didn’t send enough trooops. Chumbug!
/jc
Judah Maccabee is not of the House of David! He can never be King of the Hebrews! Woe to thee, Israel, for thy choice is rule by Assyrians or a usurper.
I can 100% guarantee that there is indeed only one purple and yellow trike on the Island. If you see it, you’ve seen James Fernandez…..approach with caution!
