By the way, for those of you who often have jokes go right over your head – this is a humor blog.
Quick. Think of a well known man from America’s history who flew a kite for a good cause.
If you didn’t think of Benjamin Franklin, you’re wrong. The answer is Benjamin Franklin. He supposedly tied a key to a kite, flew it in a thunderstorm, and discovered electricity. He is now the only man who wasn’t a US president to be featured on United States currency (except for the guy who founded the US Mint – it’s pretty much a given that he deserves his mug on something). This happened solely because he flew a kite. He did nothing else for the people of America. Now he’s actually on the most expensive piece of circulated currency – the hundred dollar bill.
Don’t you want to be featured on a hundred dollar bill sometime in the far future? Don’t you want to go Anti-Green? If so, you need to fly a kite through a wind farm. You can take two routes here:
I suggest using a twine composed of both metal and fishing wire. With your help, wealthy folk of the future will refer to hundred dollar bills as “Anti-Greenians” rather than “Benjamins”. If only one of our faces gets to adorn the hundred dollar bill, I call dibs. On second thought, that might be a poor decision. People would keep hundred dollar bills out of circulation solely so they could look at my handsome face.
First California thinks about banning all black cars. Now the United States Secretary of Energy wants us all to paint our roofs white.
One can deduct two simple facts from these stories:
What color are solar panels? Black. And where are they typically located? On top of buildings.
Therefore, you should all spray paint your solar panels white. Do not use regular paint for this – that would not emit enough aerosol into the atmosphere.
By the way, if black cars are inefficient, aren’t black Priuses somewhat of a paradox now?
The Greenies hate it when we put stuff in bodies of water. We could probably pour some water into water and they would rally against it. We’re allowed to dump things on land, so why can’t we dump things in water? We have landfills, so why can’t we have waterfills? What are you saying, people of the world? Are fish more important than humans?
One might argue that we can’t have waterfills because fish and birds can get stuck in those plastic 6-pack rings, but people can get stuck in those rings just as easily. I eat a lot. I don’t always watch what I’m about to consume. You never know. This travesty is not fair. This means that we need to throw as much stuff as we can into water. I’ve made a few rules for this climate-rising tip:
Step 1: Dump crap into water.
Step 2: Thumbs up. You've done your part to destroy the world.
While you’re still in an Anti-Green mindset, check out this short film inspired by The Anti Green Movement. It’s quite funny. Thanks to Jordan Letang.
If you’ve been reading the blog lately, you know that my safety is now constantly threatened by vengeful Greenies.
You also know that I’m going on a summer Anti-Green tour. On this tour, I’m going to encounter plenty of people. Some of these people will most assuredly be Greenies. Some of them may want to hurt me. This is why I have bought a gun to protect myself.
Do not fret. Read on. I haven’t bought a gun that can kill people. I have bought a gun that is designed to stop only Greenies dead in their tracks. Anti-Greenies are immune to this type of gun. Also, this gun does not need bullets.
You’re dying to know what kind of gun I’m going to protect myself with.
Well, think about it. What do Greenies hate with a burning passion? What do Greenies fear the most? What do Greenies fight against every day?
Carbon dioxide. I will be protecting myself with a CO2 gun, also known as an airsoft gun.
Usually, CO2 guns are used to shoot plastic pellets. The plastic pellets are propelled with a carbon dioxide canister. Bursts of carbon dioxide force the pellets to shoot from the barrel. These guns are fairly safe; some people use them to engage in friendly battle.
I won’t be shooting any plastic pellets with my CO2 gun. I’m going to be shooting mine with an empty magazine. Why? Because the gun will shoot carbon dioxide. When threatened, I will point my gun at Greenies and shoot 100% pure carbon dioxide directly at their face. This will stun the Greenies and render them defenseless.
If this technique fails to harm, I will inject them with gasoline or lock them in a room full of burning plastic water bottles.
Some cafeterias across the nation participate in a terrible, terrible tradition of “Trayless Tuesdays”. Trayless Tuesdays are a travesty. Zach B from Hastings has one word to describe Trayless Tuesdays – “Disgusting.”
Disgusting indeed. Well said Zach. What happens on these Tuesdays? Some Cafeterias do not provide trays for carrying your food. The cafeteria workers usually tell students they don’t put them out to save the earth because trays need quite a bit of water to be washed. Cafeteria people – this is awful. This must be stopped. What are you going to think of next? Forkless Fridays? Spoonless Saturdays? Maybe you can implement Starving Sundays and simply not serve food once a week.
As you can see, Trayless Tuesdays are ridiculous. To protest, we all need to participate in Steal A Tray Monday. Every Monday before Trayless Tuesday, steal a tray and take it back to your room. Then use it on Tuesday.
You should do this every week, but I’ve made a Facebook event for Monday, February 16th. This way we can spread the word and get our friends in on it. Invite all your homies.
If you’re a big pansy and/or you have morals that permit you from stealing, simply dirty a bunch of other things on Tuesdays to make up for your lost tray. Derek B from Nova Scotia said, “My friends and I have been intentionally dirtying twice as many plates on tuesdays to counteract the lack of trays!” Derek, you are the Canadian man.
Steal A Tray Mondays – Because we should be able to get a tray 24/7, not just 24/6.
My friends, the Christmas season has approached fast. So fast that I’ve only been able to give you one tip that takes advantage of the Christmas season. My sincere apologies. Here are a few more Christmas season tips you need to start now.
There you have it. I hope you all have a somewhat alright Christmas.
From reader Bryan Glass:
I was reading you blog and started thinking about the positive effects of global warming, and how you can make money by going anti-green. For example:
1) Buy “near-waterfront” property along the coast
2) Go anti-green
3) Relax while global warming converts your “near-waterfront” property to “waterfront” property
4) Profit
Special thanks to Bryan Glass for this investment scheme.
From now on, we will be featuring emails, comments, and Facebook comments from readers on Wednesdays. Be sure to leave clever comments!
This is a new Monday segment. You send in questions, we answer.
I don’t own a car and take public transit. Are you going to scold me?
-Aaron
I won’t scold you because I can tell that you’re a true anti-greenie; however, I do think less of you. I also think that you’re a fool. Luckily for you, there are several ways that you can make up for your slackage and I fully expect you to do so. The first thing I recommend you do is mock yourself for using public transportation.
–Matt
Matt,
You are a fu**tard.
-Stu
I’m a bit confused. First of all, “You are a fu**tard” is a statement, not a question! You’re silly. Second of all, I think you misspelled the word “funtard” – I don’t know what else you would be trying to say beyond those asterisks.
I’ve never heard of the word “funtard”, but I assume a funtard is someone who radiates fun day after day. I’m guessing this person is also widely known to be hilarious and extremely attractive? Oh Stu, you get me every time.
Thanks again, Stu!
–Matt
It’s officially winter in the midwest. Mother nature has dumped a couple inches of snow upon us. Sadly, this snow will stay on the ground until April because midwest winters are notorious for never raising above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
I park my car outside, which is really awful in the winter. Snow or no snow, an inch-thick layer of ice forms on every window of your car overnight.
Back in the day of high school, this layer of ice on the windshield was a huge burden to me. School, which was 20 minutes away from my house, started at 7:50. Naturally, I woke up at 7:30, put some clothes on, chewed a piece of gum because that’s quicker than brushing your teeth, ate a couple of untoasted Pop-Tarts, and was on my way by 7:33. But in the winter, I would have to clean the ice off of my car or face immediate death while driving due to the 0% visibility factor. Most days, I chose to clean the ice off. This took me anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Because of this setback, I was late to school just about every day in the winter.
I eventually wised up (is it “wised” or “wose”?) and changed my winter morning routine. I would wake up, go outside and start the car with the heat blasting, get ready for school, then go to school. By the time I got to my car, all the ice had melted off. This worked beautifully and was great for Anti Green efforts.
Insert: Woman thinks she's great because she has a remote car starter; subsequently has only 3 Myspace friends
I quickly realized the major flaw in this plan. I got really cold when I went outside to start the car right after I woke up in my pajamas. At first, I considered buying one of those fancy remote car starters. My buddy had one of those. He always showed it off and thought he was better than everyone because he had one. Everyone who didn’t have a remote car starter despised him solely because he had one. Knowing this, I scratched that plan. I couldn’t have everyone despising me. I’m a likable guy.
It’s been awhile since high school, and I’ve wose up even more. Why waste your time starting your car a few minutes before you leave when you can just keep it running at all times? There are three benefits of this:
To sum this tip up – keep your car running 24/7, even when you’re not in or near it. You may be afraid of theft, so here’s how you deal with that problem. Pretty much all cars these days come with two keys. While the car is running with one key inside, simply lock the doors so no one can get in. Use the second key for access to the running car.
EDIT: A reader asked me why I don’t just use Summer Wheeze on my icy car windows. Loyal reader, I hate to break it to you, but Summer Wheeze is in fact a fictional product only found in the world of Frosty Returns. Again, I truly apologize. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
