…a huge dick, when “Earth Hour” rolls around I’m going to turn on every light in my house, along with all of my electrical appliances, computers, tvs, game consoles, etc. And just to make it even more awesomer, I think I’ll go out and start up my truck, put a brick on the accelerator, and just let it run for the entire hour.

Ed Anger provides even more great ideas for “Earth Hour”

Borrow the worst mileage truck you can find, lower the tire pressure, then drive to the dump and throw out all that stuff you aren’t supposed to, like bleach bottles and Styrofoam peanuts. Celebrate by going to the fast food drive through and going around and around, ordering just one item at a time! Then eat in the car and throw the litter out the window.

Go home and put the furnace on high – then turn up your air conditioning to cancel it out! Flush the toilet every hour on the hour. (This is where prostate trouble comes in real handy!) Slice up a bunch of old tires with your gassiest chainsaw, and set ‘em on fire! You won’t hear your neighbors complain cuz all your radios and TVs will be blasting.
