Those two are easily the two best parts about the muppets.

Danke Stormcrow
Captain is hilariously easy to set off, like a walking barrel of gunpowder within a self contained field of destructium and a great big button on his forehead that says "Push me for fireworks".

My brain just froze at the shear apocalyptic hilarity that would ensue if those two groups got together to go at each other.  Ah bliss.

It is one of my favourite motivational photos of all time.

Long distance rail is one of the most fuel- and cost-efficient means of moving anything, particularly in bulk. Unfortunately it's also one of the less flexible, which is why the adoption of "Just In Time" operational rythms pushed companies into using road transport.
Just in Time isn't exactly what it has cracked up to be either.  Or both companies that I worked for that implemented it could have totally sucked at it.   :-X

As someone that works at a gas station, (yay Costco!!) I get to hear the crying all day every day. And honestly, it gets old. Nobody crawled out from under a rock to find out suddenly the prices went up. People with one kid driving a suburban/expedition? LOL, GTFO morons. If you didn't see this comming after the prices a few years ago, you weren't paying attention.
It is rumored Khan Pryde shot the first scientist she saw after laughing nonstop for ten minutes.

I don't think most people should be allowed to drive, let alone fly.

Funny as I'll be flying to New Orleans this Sunday, and its a heck of a lot cheaper to do so than driving the 1,230 miles.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

You can't shoot what you can't see.
You can not dodge it if you don't know it's coming.

Thats kind of the ironic thing about the higher gas prices, on intermediate trips, thousand miles or less, it can be cheaper to fly than to drive.
