Oil oozing out of Louisiana ground

Read Time:39 Second

These days in Louisiana, even the hermit crabs are digging oil wells. Researchers on a barrier island off the southeastern Louisiana coast who were looking for oil offshore found it on land, too—oozing out of tiny holes dug by hermit crabs. One local official said that when he dug a few feet down with a shovel on Louisiana coastal land he found thick, heavy crude oil lurking underground.

“It’s [like] Jed Clampett’s oil,” the official said. “All we need is the theme song to The Beverly Hillbillies.” The evidence of oil flowing out of coastal land is likely to add to the new wave of anger among Gulf residents outraged over BP’s scaleback of coastal cleanup operations.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Tony
A rich British bastard, completely full of baloney
Then one day he was shootin at some crude
And ended up f***ing up all the sea food.

Seafood that is, aquatic gold, Louisiana gumbo.

Well the first thing you know ol’ Tony’s pullin’ out his hair
Board members said Tony move away from there
Said Russia is the place you ought to stay
So they loaded up his ass and sent him on his way

Communist way, that is. No freedom, spys.

This is the stuff we were afraid of. The other day Miss. had an Earthquake. It was small only registered a 5 or under. Thing is that was the first one since like 1968, so they are pretty rare.
Some say it has to do with the Well and all of that Oil being drained at one time. Still their not mentioning Methane gas.
Hopefully were seeing the end of this nightmare. I think this is just the beginning. I heard today some Gov.Jerk saying they gathered up all the corexit. She didn’t explain how this was accomplished. Hopefully that report you gave was just in jest.
