Naked man may have had best gas protest idea of all time

Are you angry about these high gas prices and want to make a bold statement?
Perhaps that’s what this guy in my hometown was thinking.
According to WSB television in Atlanta, “A naked man slammed a car into the pumps at a Clayton County gas station Tuesday morning starting a fire.
Police used a Taser to subdue the man and arrest him after he ran from the scene.
The suspect pulled up to the Race Trac at 7721 Tara Blvd. about 5:30 a.m. and began dancing naked on top of his car, witnesses said.
The naked man then climbed back into the car and rammed it into one of the pumps, sparking a fire, according to police. The suspect ran from the scene.
U.S. Marshals who were in the area on an unrelated matter arrested the man after using a Taser on him.
Firefighters doused the fire before it spread to the other gas pumps.”
And yes, there is PG rated video here.

How hot is it? The last four days have been brutal no doubt.
You’ve probably heard them all before, but here are some of my all-time favorite ways to describe the oppressive heat.
Hot as a two-dollar pistol.
It’s put your underwear in the freezer hot
Hotter than Georgia asphalt.
Hot as an Alabama armpit.
Hotter than Marilyn Monroe on date night.
So hot the hens are laying boiled eggs.
So hot the corn is popping in the fields.
Hotter than Hell on Sunday.
It’s hotter than a possum makin’ love in a wool sock.
Hotter than a hooker on payday.
It’s so hit that my outdoor thermometer was banging on the door to come inside.
It is so hot that I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.
It’s so hot my brains are fried.
It’s so hot I saw a fire hydrant fighting over two dogs
It’s so hot that cows are giving evaporated milk.
It’s so hot the retirement home is having a wet t-shirt contest.
Hotter than Fish Grease.
That’s just a random sampling. Send us your best way to describe the heat.

Wow, This happens a few miles down the road from me and I find out about it in a Virginia Blog.  I don’t think I can top your It’s so hot list… but if I could, they couldn’t be published.  I did have some favorites from your list though.  My top three favorites are ...
1. It�s so hot that my outdoor thermometer was banging on the door to come inside.
2. It�s so hot I saw a fire hydrant fighting over two dogs.
3. It is so hot that I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.
