    Ah yes, the new tech age definitely has inspired some in every crowd! It sure beats sucking on a hose as Joanne stated … in way more words than I. Even a drill pump wouldn’t have been such a great idea just a few years back unless you brought a long extension cord with you.

    Does anyone know why gas tank necks were narrowed? Well, supposedly with the popularity of self-serve stations more and more people were grabbing the wrong hoses and putting diesel fuel into their gas tanks! In case you’re wondering - that’s a no-no. Now gas cars have narrow filler necks and diesel’s have wide ones.

    1. …and then where is the safeguard preventing diesel engine owners from putting that 93 octane gas into their 42 octane, large-necked tanks?

      My late Gran-pappy used to always say to me “Heck, boy, we’s brought up on leaded gas, leaded paint, leaded pencils, and we got shot full of lead from irate nay-bors chasing us off’n thare property when we’n was jus rascally youngins.” Rest in peace, Grandpa Van Dall.

        … um, diesel car owners are smarter?! Pumps are usually removed from standard ones, they smell different, IT SAYS DIESEL ON THEM!!! During the past 2 weeks I spent all my time around electric cars and tourists - note I said ELECTRIC. The number 1 question was “Where do you fill it up?”, also most of the keys got twisted as people tried to turn the ignition until they heard the customary rev of the engine! Not so on these babies.

        I think I may have a lead shot souvenir in my backside from your Granpappy!

    I want to be there when the cool dudes electro-siphoning someone’s gas tank create a tiny little spark, maybe from the drill, maybe from a bit of errant static electricity, while dumping gas through 12 inches of airspace into their totally red can.

    Actually I want to be about 75 feet away.

    Back in the day we had a flatbed driver pull up to the wrong pump and fill his gas-guzzler with 50 gallons of diesel. He became the mechanics’ favorite after that. Wish I could say that was the stupidest thing he ever did.

    Being so nonchalant about Hitler is very unbecoming of Rocketboom. It actually makes me ill that this mass murderer is now being treated like some poor artist who attended the Sorbonne. Any mention of that man should be associated with HELL NOT ART.

    And being so nonchalant about the criminal act of stealing gas is unbecoming of Rocketboom as well.

    Can I believe it’s June already? wow yeah, it seems like just a couple days ago it was May & with Bonfire Day just around the corner, I would get great personal satisfaction watching those doctored Hitler paintings go up in smoke, just like the books he burned. Speaking of smoke, what makes those 2 moron skinheads think that by painting a few rainbows on Hitlers art will make it more valuable? Hitler was a psychopathic, schizophrenic, murdering, speed shooting drug addict. Just because he painted a few pictures, doesn’t make him an artist worth recognition but unfortunately there are still a few idiots out there willing to squander their money on Nazi crap! their 200K could have been put to a more humanitarian use. I hope they have to eat them.
    Pissed off? me? na! ….fuckin’ little dweebmeister shitheads!

      C’mon, stop blocking and tell us what you really think.

      Couple years back there was a train derailment somewhere, can’t remember exactly and really, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the idjits who pulled some spikes out of the ground and caused it left behind a note claiming to be a group called Sons of the Gestapo. I was driving to work when the 20-something news reader on my local radio station read that story and actually mispronounced Gestapo - she called them the Sons of the GUS-ta-poe, not ges-TA-po. I was stunned. I still can’t decide if her complete ignorance of them is a good or a bad thing.

      I still feel more respect for that newsreader than these human B-rolls.

    I can’t believe they messed up Hitler’s art! (I would say ruined, but I think that depends on perspective)

    “Like a shadow that does not permit us to jump over it, but moves with us to maintain its proper distance, pollution is nature’s answer to culture. When we have learned to recycle pollution into potent information, we will have passed over completely into the new cultural ecology.” ~William Irwin Thompson

    Totally beats the good ole days of creating hydrostatic pressure, where the fluid velocity along the streamline squared over two, plus the gravitational acceleration downwards, times the elevation in gravity field, plus the pressure along the streamline over the fluid density needed to be calculated, in order to keep the gasoline out of your mouth!

    Does RB usually highlight tutorials on theft? The gas siphoning thing seemed to be that. Can we get some links to how to make a pipe bomb next???

    It sounded like, “So put that paint in your tank and soak in it.” Give it time. Compare the definitions and etymoloties of “paint”, “picture” and “smear”. I wonder where that line came from anyway.
