Re: Price of gas update...

16oz and 20oz to the pint, respectively, but I get it. Our paint in Canada comes in 3.78 litre cans, which I always just assumed to be 128oz.

Re: Price of gas update...

Gas gets dirt cheap when there's no where to go and you can't go there anyway. It's like going out with the old GF and seeing beautiful women give you fetching looks everywhere, or a dog chasing a...
