Default Don't buy gas on May 19th

Did you ever hear that if everyone didn't buy gas on one day it would lower the gas prices. Well I got one of them forwarded emails today saying that some mysterious figure has selected May 19th for that day. Now this is almost impossible, but why not try. Really they should announce this during the Super Bowl or something. it should be something EVERYONE knows about.

Seems like it went something like that. Oh, the glories of OPEC.

Talking Gee...

I wonder if everyone decided to not buy Fleetwood Mac tickets on May 19 would the ticket prices for upcoming shows lower in price (In other words there is no chance of this gas gimmick working...I received this email and thought "Gee, another brainless & moronic idea some putz thought up")

I have a better idea. How bouts we all ditch the stupid automoblies and I'll fix your bike brakes for $5 a person.
