Oil Blob's Blog (8)

Oil just went over $125 per barrel. Sing it with me - I'm in the money! I'm in the Money! Can I get $130? Anyone for $130? Continue

THE OIL BAG - WEEK 7 Thought I disappeared did ya? No, no-no, no, no, no... Haven't you noticed? I've been busy. Oil is trading at its highest price ever! topping $90 a barrel. Believe me, it's not easy getting the whole world to fear an oil shortage in order to drive the price up. While I was working I received the following question:

Dear Oil Blob, While e

THE OIL BAG - WEEK 6

To the Oil Blob, I've heard a saying recently, "Red, white and blue is the new green." I take it to mean that's it's patriotic, and in our long term interest, to become more green. Do you believe red, white and blue is the new green? Sincerely, - Josh K., Los Angeles, CA

Well Josh... in a word... NO. I always thought that a red, white and blue combination gave you a light purple color. Something a four year old girl would wear to churc… Continue

What Up Oil Snob, To try and minimize our impact on the planet, many people are beginning to push the mantra: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. How do you feel about this notion? Do you think that it will work? I Hope you evaporate, - Bill K., Bethesda, MD

Oh, here we go... REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE --… Continue

THE OIL BAG - WEEK 4
DOES OIL KILL PEOPLE? Me? Kill people? Kittens, maybe...(with their freaky reflective eyes, independence, and knack for pooping in a box. Have any of you ever seen a cat poop? I don't think it actually happens). Okay, okay, okay... I do take care of the occasional radical treehugger... But this jabroni, I mean "Emailer of the Week", wants me to take a guess at the number of deaths I'm responsible for...

Dear Oil Blob, I

IS OIL PEAKING? This week's emailer of the week thinks he's cracking wise... He wonders if I still got it? I'll have you know that my libido is nowhere near its peak, production or otherwise. Much like Hef, as a young stud, I'm still working towards my production and "sexual peak".

Dear Blob, What do you think of Peak Oil Theory? Are you past your prime? Reached your peak? - John S., Amherst, MA

OIL BAG - WEEK 2
I'm back... Did you miss me? After my initial Oil Bag, I had to take a quick trip to Cape Cod - take in a little sun, tan to a darker shade of sleek black, and check out the bitter folks in Beantown (seriously... are there people anywhere in the country more bitter than Bostonians?). I also had to take a quick dip in the Atlantic - a warmer proposition than jumping in the Pacific. What's that you say? How could I take a dip in the water since oil and water… Continue

THE OIL BAG - WEEK 1
Here's the deal... every week, I am going to answer your idiotic questions and comments on this blog thing. Let's get something straight though - I'm not like the other people at "EndOil" (lord knows why they don't separate the End from the Oil), because, well, I'm an oil blob and think that everything oil related is great...awesome actually. So I'm going to take this opportunity to point out how the world has gone goofy, and why all this green-this and… Continue
