www.Grassfire.org said it chose June 12 as the day it wants Americans to rev up their SUVs because it coincides with expected debate in Congress over a $1.2 billion carbon tax rebate program. "Carbon Belch Day will have at least as much impact on the so-called 'planetary emergency' of man-made global warming as the goofy save the earth mandates telling us to turn our lights off for an hour," said Elliott.

I declare June 11th as "Vandalize a SUV" Day. Be sure to skip the non-disabling attacks like spraypaint and go for arson, engine theft, and anything act of vandalism that will prevent the SUV from starting the next day.

Be creative.

Just slash a pair of sidewalls and call it good. Although some organic potatoes in the tailpipe would be funnier.

Tofu in the gas tank?

Mulch in the intake?

Filled through the sunroof with compost?

How about stolen and replaced with a bicycle?... move the old plates to the bike.

You can still idle it with flat tires.


I say stab an SUV owner in the face with a broken kombucha bottle, then put him on public transportation to a holistic doctor.

So, technically I have an SUV, albeit a 20 year old compact SUV with a 4 cylinder engine that gets driven once a week on average. Do you want to stab ME in the face? Don't answer that.

Technically, you are classified as a "Lightweight Occasional Vehicular Douche", which means you get scratched in the face with incense.

Jealous?


We don't tour much. Most of that will be shared bus transport with another band, so in a sense we are carpooling.

:D




So go suck on some weeping mortar, Captain Fagballs.

See my vehicle is better than yours. Even though it's the same chasis, you are a detriment because the back of your truck has furniture in it.

Mine has skis and shovels so I'm better for the environment.

When my vehicle is loaded up with 6 skiers and a dog (or 7 skiers, overnight packs and no dog) plus skis, mine is better for the environment.

shovels can be used for good or evil, so it's a wash.

I also win by keeping an older vehicle on the road. You have a 10 years deficit of new car manufacturing energy. Suck it.

A friend of mine had one real suggestion:

Go into a Hummer dealer and negotiate like bejeebus, and when the salespeople are sweating about the stunning giveaway they are forced to do to sell these gas-guzzlers, as you are about to sign the papers, walk out.
