College kids prank I reckon... I have not seen such email

**MasterAdmin** · May 6th, 2007, 04:30 AM

Not all people online have a car. And not all of them need gas exactly on May 15th. So the number 73,000,000+ will be much lower.

**Amber** · May 9th, 2007, 03:34 PM

I've seen the same email a few different times. I'm not sure if the date changes from year to year but will try to remember. I'd even consider biking to work to help cut down on emissions but, by the time I finally made it, it would be time to go home.

Amber, you're hott. (not joking)

They don't let you get out often, do they?

**DDT** · May 10th, 2007, 12:48 AM

I'll arm wrestle you for her Dogboy!

How about we settle this the old west way. Meet me outside the quick draw saloon at high noon.

The only question is, 38's or .45s?

Why not make it interesting? boomerangs and slingshots

**Dogboy182** · May 10th, 2007, 11:45 AM

Well, DDT is the Australian here... So he would have the CLEAR advantage over me with the boomerang. And slingshots are kinda childish. Can we just settle for 9mm hollow point?

**DDT** · May 10th, 2007, 01:32 PM

Perhaps we should let the chick (Oh I'm sorry, I mean Amber) decide what weapons to use. Where is she anyway? After all, it is no fun fighting over girls when they are not close-by running around pretending to be disgusted.

**Dogboy182** · May 10th, 2007, 07:23 PM

LOL + 1000,000,000 million billion leet points!
