My peeps, I screwed up. In a hurry to get to where I eventually did not even get close to (so, so sorry I missed you, Nanner! I was ready for those Buttery Nipple shots!), I swung into the BP station and did the unthinkable. Something absent-minded and assinine.
Totally. Screwed. Up.
My big campaign to boycott BP dissipated in the fumes I filled up my tank with. Ugh. I realized I screwed up while waiting at the pump for my receipt. I know. Completely filled myself up with disgust. Talk about feeling dirty. Should have sent myself through the car wash. So much for personal activism.
But I do have good intentions, y'all. I sleep this stuff. No, really. I do. Need proof? Here ya go. One of the lovely things to come out of my recent trips to New Orleans and Bourbon Street was this baby:
Had to have it, dontcha know, especially after the crazy fun I had in the piano bar. (Dude, I can't believe I had to actually sing YOU that song request! Brazen pianists all over the country, or on 6th Street, know that classic!)
Anyway, this keepsake is now a lovely sleepshirt that I hold near and dear to my heart and other stuff. It makes me happy to wear it. Too revealing to model though. Sorry. If I had me some 501 button-flies (raise your hand if you miss those, the best, sexiest jeans in the world) I might consider it. Only magical things happen when you're wearing 501s. Trust me on that.
So to make up for filling my tank with BP gas, I'm now giving back with a public photo of this dee-lightfully fun t-shirt. Hey, it's the least I can do so people never forget the heinous damage BP did.
F. U. B. P.
And, she's back! Who's going to the Rally to Restore Sanity, eh?
As an aside, I haven't eaten at Wendy's in five years. They still buy chickens from disreputable breeders who raise hens inhumanely by piling too many in a battery-cage the size of a breadbox and make them spend their whole lives that way. What would that be like, I wonder? Your WHOLE LIFE in an itty bitty cage you can hardly turn around in, not to mention everybody sees you laying eggs. What's wrong with a little humanity, freedom, and right to privacy? That's American, Wendy's. Quit buying from those jerks. So there, I'm back to actively giving you guys the finger. FU, Wendy's. And from the chickens, Cluck You.
I'm a little cranky. Did you notice? I'm going to go put on my shirt.

Oh dear....so many little marine animals just turned in their graves....
What? I'm meant to make you FEEL GOOD?? Jeez...
Y'know, I hear the color aquamarine/turquoise helps with that. And if you only knew someone reliable in India, where that color proliferates....well....
I know I know, I owe ya, girl...and I never forget my promises.
Braja, you know I love aquamarine, and I DO know someone lovely in India ... unless she's still in the States. Are ya anywhere near Florida, girl?
We don't even have a BP here. Chickens don't have feelings, right?
I like the night shirt. You just flubbed up a little bit. Now you are back on track.
Oh no....I'm so out of the loop way out here in never nowhere land. We don't even have BP here but if we did, I'd be saying some sign language as I passed by them to go fill up elsewhere....the only problem is most stations are independently owned and well never mind. Hey now I get to say FU Wendy's. I'm on board with that bit as well.
You're a humorous bit of work every time.
Hey come see the kids and their story of spiders and such. XXOO The Olde Bagg
You best be droppin' off those empty water bottles in that lovely tank now!
rant away... wish like hell i could meet you in DC for the rally! we could abduct Jon and do horrible things to him. i'd share. promise.
So how can we tell if a restaurant acquires its meat in inhumane ways? Or the grocery store for that matter?
My daughter just turned vegan.
Word on the street is BP costumes are all the rage for Halloween. You're ahead of the game already! Meanwhile I've got my jumpsuit and bottle of Hershey's ready to rumble.
Is your middle name Oscar? (heehee)
Go get 'em, Tigress! rawrrrr!
I love the shirt, and you have permission to be cranky sometimes!
You so crack me up...I like the shirt...we don't have BP around here...don't eat at Wendy's either...I like your crankiness. :)
Hope you have a good weekend. XX
I didn't know that about Wendy's. Ewwwww and gross!!!
Love the night shirt!!
Hugs

I don't eat chicken (or beef) so Wendy's doesn't have much to offer me anyway. But I do buy only eggs from cage-free chickens.
Ok so what you're saying is, if I send you a pair of 501's, you'll post a picture of yourself wearing them with that shirt?
I need to be more aware of where I fill up, actually. I usually fill up at the grocery store's pumps because they give a discount but when we're traveling, my hubby will usually just pull in wherever.
you are heading back in the right direction...have fun at the rally...thanks for the clucks up on wendy's too...no more...no more...
Oh holy hell I miss my 501s!!!
I used to fill up at BP because there stations had cheaper gas than others. Since their *uck up with the spill, I've never set foot in one of their stations. Never will again, t-shirt or no t-shirt.
DI
P.S. Haven't eaten at a Wendy's in over 10 years.
I wish I could boycott ALL the gas and oil companies. And in fact, we drive so little that it's almost like a boycott.
Loving the t-shirt. Or vest top technically I suppose. Most dazzling.
Love the shirt! I don't do Wendy's either! I am in the mood to boycott everyone...
There is too much wanton cruelty to animals. The USA is bad enough, especially since we're supposed to know better. In China, the same thing is done to dogs. Mouths taped shut so they don't "bother" people, stacked on top of each other, waiting to be chosen for someone's meal.
The more I learn about humans, the more I value animals.
You wear crabby nice!
Stephen Colbert had a sea turtle drive an SUV over the president of BP. It made that "ding-ding" sound that old gas stations used to have when we were kids.
I'm going to the rally! Want to meet? See the designated meeting area chosen by me (so it no doubt will suck) posted on my blog.
Shame on yoooooou. I guess if you'd tried syphoning the gas back out of your tank, well,.....love to have heard you try and explain that when the cops came a callin'.
My sisters are going to the rally--if you see them, say 'hi'!
No need to beat yourself up about 1 slip. Just get back on the FUBP wagon! If we had BP up here, I would boycott it too. So when I'm in the USA later this week, I'll be sure not to pull into one of their stations. Thanks for making me think about that!
Love the shirt! And the chickens.
We all slip every once in a while, but it's good to get back on track. I personally boycott so many places now, it's getting harder and harder to shop just for groceries.
Absolutely love that shirt! Totally awesome. And I know what you mean about those 501 button-flies. ;)
And really about Wendys?? Where am I supposed to get my salads now? DAMMIT.
I love that shirt! You cut loose in N.O.?! Would have loved to have been there doing shots at the piano bar with you.
Good for you on the Wendy's boycott. We have about 30 chickens here on the farm. They all have names and personalities and provide us with fresh eggs daily.
Don't forget to boycott Tesoro and Valero while you're at it (I don't even know if they have those in FLA.) They're funding the drive to repeal CA's clean energy act. Eff them too.
There's something that's sooooo efffed up about the whole Gulf thing.
I don't get it- we're being lied to.
And hey!, send me the tank, I'll model it!
FUBP.
OMG, I totally LOVE that tank top and I MUST HAVE ONE! And hell yes I remember Levi's 501 button-fly Jeans. And hell YES I miss them terribly! They really WERE magical jeans!
You, the 501s, and that shirt are giving me a great mental image :-)
FUBP !
I think that all of the oil companies take short cuts and probably would have been in the same situation as bp. I don't think that any one oil company is worse than the others. bp was just the one that got caught.
Yes, it's hard being 'correct' - so time-consuming - but I like your tee shirt and your reasons for not eating at 'Wendy's' (I presume that's something like McDonald's?)
LOVE that tee shirt. I wish they sold them here.
And don't worry about the fill-up, everyone falls off the wagon once in a while.
Cheers, jj
Too revealing? It's a tank top woman, not a g-string. ;)
I love that shirt... and I'm all about not eating at fast food places. Cluck you is awesome.
We don't have those shirts here!
Long Live BP!
It wasn't their fault!
It was a set up!
They wuz framed!
I did the same early on in the crisis. I was pumping fuel and looked up at the sign and thought "Holy crap! How did THIS happen?" Thanks to people like you (and me), BP turned a profit this quarter. On one hand, GREAT--they can keep dishing out payments to the dying Gulf. On the other, as long as we're filling up the tank, there's a problem. Will someone please transport us anywhere without cars? Looks like here in FL, we'll be waiting a looong time.
