My ship has just come in

Image via Wikipedia - why I'm not sure

The work I do here important, and I’ve always hoped that someday, if I worked hard enough, and produced enough clever articles and research, that I’d finally get invited into the exclusive club of climate cash that supposedly the rest of the skeptics are getting. I’ve felt left out, and I thought perhaps because my blog has a funny name that has nothing to do with climate was the reason I never got invited.

Well those days are over. My ship has just come in, and I’m now flush with the promise of cash from the biggest oil company in the world. Yes, that one, Exxon-Mobil.

I’m was so relieved when the notice came in email today.

I’m going to buy a new Tesla roadster, and get “WUWT” license plates to annoy my liberal friends. Then I’m going to buy Kenji  a diamond studded dog collar and a barrel of  those pupperoni snacks he likes so much, then take the wife and kids on a world wide tour.

Life is good thanks to Exxon-Mobil.

The President of Benin has awarded me some money and my agent warned me
‘to avoid paying money to the fraud stars that is going on through the WORLD’
I was grateful for the advice.

They have forgotten to ask for your bank account details and credit card pin number Anthony!

Uh, Anthony, you are going to remember the ever so dedicated moderators and perhaps even more dedicated guest posters (like me!), right?
Can I have one of the fancier staterooms? One with air conditioning and an Internet link?

Perhaps you could send me some of that cash to pay the fuel bills for the forthcoming coldest ever winter here in the uk . i always suspected you were in the pay of big oil . by the way i came across an educational kit to teach 8 year olds about the “green” solar powered house and ..guess watt it needs back up batteries to get it to work!

We in N.Z. have just had one come in like that in the picture too Anthony ‘cept ours is on the rocks on a reef just outside Tauranga. Big oil is coming in too – ‘cept it is coming in on the beach. You never know what the tide brings in these days. I ‘spect you will be as lucky as we are.

Com’on Anthony, you know Big Oil can’t be trusted. This is just another of their scams. Now if it was from Solyndra…..

Hey, I’m one of the first wave to survey a station, and I’ve been a WUWTer since the beginning, so I should get something too!!!

What do you need money for? You just showed us proof of alien visitation. When the aliens come, money won’t be needed. We’ll get everything for free. We’ll all get along, and be happy.
Oh, wait. That’s what they told us in 2008.
And we might have [SNIP: This is not the sort of discussion we should be promoting at WUWT – it just leads to hard feelings and nothing gets settled. -REP] … at least that’s what some people say. When do I get my free $#^7?

Fascinating. I did not “realize” ExxonMobil was “headquartered” in Malaysia

Congrats, Anthony. Hope you enjoy yourself with all of that dirty oil money. I’d buy silver, or gold, or food, or guns and ammo right now as the USD’s will soon be such that your windfall may be just enough to purchase a loaf of bread.

so the warmists are right about Anthony, they kept telling this and I didn’t believe. And to make it worse:

Hey Bouldersolar, I’d be happy to give you right of way if I see your Telsa. After all, it’s hard not to give someone right of way when they make you laugh that hard!!!

I think you should make sure to drive your new Tesla to the Occupy Wall Street protests – in fact, go to all of the similar ones around the country! Use that Boulder, CO. resident’s bumper sticker and let the games begin!
Keep up the great work, Anthony, seriously – your site is excellence in action.
