  • 33-cent gas

    Note: Title is from article's title.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22153441/from/ET/?gt1=10645

    I thought I'd share this article with you all. It was funny in my opinion. Here's part of what's in the article:

    MINOCQUA, Wis. - Dozens of drivers made a mad rush for cheap gas after a station employee accidentally changed the price to 33 cents a gallon. An employee closing Trig's Minocqua Shell for the night meant to drop the price of gas by 1 cent.

    But he mistakenly dropped a nine from the $3.299 a gallon in the computer, making the price of gas .329 cents Monday night.
    Those that did got a bargain, and word spread fast.

    Forty-two people bought 586 gallons of gas in an hour and 45 minutes.

    Local police saw the hoard at the station and called store manager Andrea Reuland.

    She went to the station and pushed the emergency stop.

    "There were cars two deep at each of my pumps," said Reuland, who knew many of the drivers.

    One person had pumped 27 gallons and two purchased 18 gallons.

    I bolded and underlined the "is" just for you, Malacite.

      Stuff like this shows true human nature . . .

      Onionsoilder (which it really should be "soldier," I think) just furthers my point.

      Also, Rainblade: why the quitting? Life of a Summoner not as glamorous as it seems? Or is it just that one person that just won't leave you alone?

        A good friend of mine lives there and works at a boating place. The boss had them take the boats out of storage with the largest tanks and fill them up. >< It's mainly a resort community so I imagine all the winter residents were filling up their snowmobiles too.

          I just got tired of some things in the game. Just finally done with the love-it-or-hate-it thing.

          Sorry to be off-topic.

            What, get a good deal?

            Gas is something that pretty much everyone uses. If you could get it at 10% of the normal price, why the hell wouldn't you? If you could get a brand new video game that you want for $5, are you honestly telling me you wouldn't?

            This is a perfectly normal reaction from all involved.
