The organizers of Earth Hour want us to turn the lights off for an hour Saturday evening.

I'm thinking of turning off the lights and hitting the streets for a nice, long cruise. Maybe I'll take the Suburban.

Suggestions?

I'm generally pretty respectful of Mother Earth, but I find this concept makes me want to do the same thing (go for an extended drive). I hate to see those commuting in colossal gas hogs get all sanctimonious about this event . . .

I'm gonna eat a Big Mac out of a styrofoam box, then burn the box.
Sorry, I too try to respect the environment but when crap like this comes up I get irritated.

I think I will also eat a cheeseburger. With bacon. Maybe a bison burger and not beef. I'm trying to think of as many animals as I can here. Maybe put some calamari on it?

I'll probably take the turbo Miata out for a strafing-run along the river, then come home. Then I'll probably light the charcoal to grill some cow, and fire up the two-stroke blender.

In reply to 93celicaGT2:

I like your thinking.

I still need something a little more "exotic." Like I said, some bison or something in place of the beef, and maybe some bald eagle in place of the chicken? Maybe some goat cheese instead of American?

I think I'll be watching Mark Coleman and Frank Mir beat the hell out of one another. Or George St. Pierre make Dan Hardy cry "uncle."

I'll shut off all the lights and turn out the electricity for SIX hours on Sunday to make up for it. While I autocross.

Now would you order that as the McExoticFarmLuv or would you order the McBison and McEagle separate to assemble yourself?

I'd order them separate then revel in the unholy union of Exotic Farm Luv that i have created.

In reply to Woody:

I hear spotted owl smokes well. Stick with a fruit wood like apple. Maybe a nut wood like pecan. Maybe mix em both and smoke over some granola.

This is true. Tastes about in the middle of a bald eagle and a loon.

I'd say wrapping it with bacon before smoking would make it PERFECT.

And it should be stuffed with cheese.

should I be planting a tree under the moonlight? I agree with drboost that this stuff annoys me.

Me? I will be a Roman Soldier in an Easter Drama.

After just returning from California, and practicing abrupt braking manoevers to avoid several Pious that cut in front of us... I think I'll go fire up my 5.9 V8 and let it run for the entire hour. That should clean the winter cobwebs out of its pipes.

Sounds like the perfect time to host that manatee cookout that i've been planing!

The only thing more tender and delicious than a sea cow is a baby sea cow! Boy, you think veal is good, try marinating it in salt for a year or two!
