THE PRICE OF GAS LATELY

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, has anyone noticed the price of gas lately? I noticed it because I just filled up my car and paid more than I have ever paid in my entire lifetime. In my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo), the price of gas lately is from hunger and something should be done about it, oh, yes, something should be done about it. What’s next, I wonder, the price of tomatoes lately? I mean, where does it end, this taking advantage of people? Something should be done about it, oh, yes, something should be done about it. Perhaps we should all band together as a nation and sing songs from Kelly until these people do something about this ridiculous situation. That would teach them, wouldn’t it? And when we finish with Kelly we can move right on to the Dutch version of Cyrano. If that doesn’t do the trick, nothing will.

Well, that was a very emphatic paragraph, wasn’t it? It’s simply that the price of gas lately came upon me unawares like a large boulder dropping on me from out of the sky. I haven’t had a large boulder drop on me from out of the sky in a ‘coon’s age, but this was similar to that. Actually, how similar is “this” to “that”. They don’t look all that similar to me lately.

We had a surprisingly busy Saturday here at haineshisway.com, with many interesting and lively posts. Today, Donald will be introducing a brand spanking new radio show, and tomorrow we will have our brand spanking new Unseemly Interview with our very own Mr. Nick Redman, and let me tell you it is a great one, filled with shocking revelations and amazing stories of everything from the Oscars to restoring the soundtrack to The Sound of Music and other Fox musicals. It is a must-read and therefore you simply must read it.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button and see if the price of gas lately has gone up again whilst we are doing so?

Dad blame it, the price of gas lately has gone up again whilst we were clicking on the Unseemly Button. Someone should do something about it, oh, yes, someone should do something about it (SSDSAI, in Internet lingo). I am hopping mad about the price of gas lately, let me tell you that, especially because it came upon me unawares like a boulder falling on me from out of the sky.

Tonight I shall be supping with my friends the Geissmans. Tomorrow night I shall be right here at haineshisway.com taking part in our Unseemly Live Chat, and I do hope many of you will join in the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs. Oh, what fun we shall have in our live chat, and you simply must be there. It will begin, as usual, at six o’clock Pacific Mean Time, although there is a chance of it beginning a bit earlier for reasons which I will explain either later today in the posts, or tomorrow in the notes, so do stay tuned.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must write, and then I must vent my anger about the price of gas lately by going to the gas station and singing Yes, We Have no Bananas over and over again until the manager wants to rip the very eyeballs out of his sockets. That will teach him. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Sunday – free-for-all day, the day in which you can discuss any old thing you like, so let’s see some lively and sparkling discussions going on. I shall be checking in often to take part.
