I would participate, but Cops is on at 8:00. If they would change it to noon on Sunday, I'd at least turn off the porch light.

The moonbats might as well turn off their lights. It'll match them turning off their ability to think logically.

BTW Denny, I guess drooling cumspot has crawled back under the rock he came out from. The douchebag hasn't been here to amuse us all lately.

Heh-heh, why do you think they're all called Dim-o-crits? Duh. :-)

I plan to not do shit at 8 p.m., except watch "Keeping Up Appearances," one of my favorite Britcoms.

I'll be damned if I allow some Moonbat Crusade to get in my way.

Not only the lights, but I'm gonna turn the hot-tub up, crank on every television and computer, turn on every burner on the stove, broil something in the oven, run the engines on all three of our cars, crank up the stereo, too, with something by Ted Nugent. Then I'll go fire off my Colt .38 snub, and smoke a cee-gar.

That oughta help.

:o)

But just think of all the money being saved for the taxpayer!

I'm not only going to have lights and TV on in celebration of this "Earth Hour" (where the fuck they came up with that term in the first place?),I'm gonna feast on burgers (that will piss off the vegans, and other fucktards that worship the cow as a sacred gift from above) and drink non-organic beer! I like the spirit of Erica's closing words.

It will be business as usual at this household. I can't get the boys to remember to turn off the lights when they leave a room anyway! And I'm considering putting a timer on the television. Puget Power owns us.

I neglected to mention that I'm having company for dinner and we're gonna feast on filet mignon (cran it vegans) grilled on a gas grill and eat baked potatoes cooked in a gas oven. Of course we're gonna drink a lot of wine as well.

Now let the children have their fun. Maybe while the power is off half the city will burn down.

I'm not doing anything different tonight, either, esp. since I'm barely maintaining my lead in the NCAA pool at work. I may well be de-throned this weekend, so I gotta watch.
I went to google something earlier today and was all WTF? I half-expected my search results to be in the black background, too.
I really need to switch to the Firefox search engine.

Earth Hour "lights out"???

Thats hilarious! I'm flipping on my switches and turning on the gas as we speak. I'm even going to fire up the grill and let 'er burn for a while just to cook it off. Burn baby, burn...

Ya gotta give the libtards some credit for at least being funny...

I read about this in a California paper today and it was billed as "fulfilling our city's obligation to the planet". Heck, I figure that when I watered my pot of pansies today that should be fulfillment enough.

If we can just sacrifice enough virgins, err... I mean parts of the economy then we can stop the volcano, err... I mean the climate change.

We have to sacrifice your daughter, no, I mean sacrifice your part of the economy first - just to be safe.

Google turned their search screen black.

Net result, extra energy to make the program change. No power savings on any CRT or LCD
computer screen. Oh! Wow! Impressive!

Got every light in the apartment on until 2100 local (even the oven light :). Surprised that scabattle isn't in total darkness, perhaps the entire NW corridor.

When will this global warming bullshit end?!? Are there not laws against fraud or is that only if the perp isn't a dumbocrap?!?

/disgust.

I caught three 1.5- 2 pound stripers out of the river today while my wife was at home cleaning.

Does that help any?

O' yea!!!!
Well I am gonna flush ALL my toilets for a good half hour!!!!

kerrcarto-
You lucky bastard! Send some pictures of those Stipers. I've been skunked that last few trips, and some pics would help...

The lights burned brightly at the House by the Parkway.

Can I change my lights out to about 11:00? I could do it then.

I switched to CFLs because the save me money, longer lasting is a nice side benefit though.

Even though we were smart enough not to sign onto the Kyoto treaty, we're starting to see new air emission regulations coming down the pike that will attempt to reduce our production of "greenhouse gases". This in spite of the studies now being published that show no correlation between CO2 and warming.

The new buzzword in environmental regulations appears to be "carbon", and the regulators at the state level, due to their governors and legislatures, who want to appear to be "doing something" about this "problem" are attempting to enact their own version of Kyoto. Look to the cost of everything going up and even more of what little maufacturing we do here going overseas.

Hey this is a first...the radio news just covered the hour without power, and they said it was to bring attention to the ALLEDGED Global Warming crisis...

Would the Alledged Global Warming...errg.. Climate change...be the reason that Northern Oregon coasts have had snow on the beaches for the last 2 to 3 days??????

Why must the enviroment always be an political issue. I would think that as an Arab hater you would want to do all that was possible to remove our dependence on those bastards. Not to mention continue to save as much CASH as possible to put in to your fat bank accounts. Shit if people want to shut every thing off let them be in the fucking dark, all they are doing is increasing the supply and reducing your cost so you can buy another gas hog.

But hey cause they are democrats they are just dumb fucks anyways. WE KNOW REPUBLICANS ARE BY FAR THE MOST SUPERIOR THINKERS IN THE WORLD. Oh and I am not positive but I think I heard this was an idea that started in Australia a few years ago. I also think you will have a bigger carbon inpact if you use the electric stove instead of cooking on the Propane grill, but you should just leave it on to continue to help warm up the planet, its been a bit cold up here in the North East. THANKS

The Moonbats should go back to used to do best to symbolize their concern & to make a statement.......Go tie a ribbon around a tree & leave us alone.

Gee..
Have we a new troll in the house? Hiya, Bill!

As to the search engines, have any of you tried Clusty (clusty.com)? I've used it for years, it polls damn near every other engine except Google & spits out the results on the fly in a Windows Explorer-type tree.

They should turn the unused lights off in the buildings all the time. I'm not interested in glowbull whoring, but it would be nice to save money. This is especially true for government buildings, "Hey dumbasses, those are my tax dollars you idiots are wasting."
I'm all for conservation if it saves me a buck or two, or if there is meaningful accomplishment behind it such as cutting dependence on terrorist oil. But not if it increases substantially consumer costs such as the recent eth anal stuff did.
Their recycle reuse stuff sometimes gets a little off the beaten path, as in they walked over a cliff dumb, though.

Not us, we celebrated Earth hour all day long! We fired up all the gas engines, it's a spring thing. (one must maintain the lawn mowing equiptment and generators) We did laundry, and cooked 2 inch Pork Chops on the gas grill. At the same time we did the usual stuff that most of the hippy dippy dummies don't realize...the pooters were on-the lights on the DVR and VCR, answering machine and Digital Clocks were all on. (but not blinking in my house). The ceiling fan is always on here, the door was hanging open while we were cooking outside and I had the gas oven going as well. I also ran the super sucker vac cleaner. We all flushed, somewhere a cow farted, I did the New York Times crossword with squid ink or a Bic Med Point pen made in flipping France. It's spring time and I sneezed about 90 hunert times. Who cares? Did Mother(earth)say Thank You? Did she even notice? None of that silliness afoot at this Circle Kay. :)

I agree the Etho shuff just continued to put the screws to us. I also agree with Denny and do more research on the hydrogen auto.

Sorry CD, but I let them go. I pretty much catch and release at the local holes and digital cameras, water and two drunkards in a boat don't mix to well.

kerrcarto-
I hear ya. When I first bought my digital cam I was fishing Mammoth Pools and dropped it in the water right of the bat, so these days, the digi cam stays at home where it's dry and safe. Electronics and water don't mix too well do they?...

I catch and release too. I just have fun catchin' 'em but don't care much to eat them...

If bill is from Maine he has spell check...

My real question is why a Saturday night not may people are home on Saturdays. Unfortunately the only light i had on Saturday was a Coleman lantern the old school white gas kind ok and the big fire we had going at a camping event we were at.

Of this addle-brained, chicken-little moonbat stunt, I can't help but think of the old saying "the lights are on but nobody's home," when it comes to democrats.

BTW, all my lights are still on.

Yes I have spell cheek, the problem is that I usually forget to use it.

"Earth Hour Crashes to Earth"

HAH-hah! {/nelsonmuntz}

Stoopid hippies.

Damn, I missed it. I didn't find out about it until about 11:00 pm. I did have a couple of chickens in the smoker with smoke rolling out of it a while before Earth Hour, and I did set a big brush pile on fire earlier in the week.
