If this doesn't make you turn in your big ass SUV for a hybrid, then nothing will..
Dubai, United Arab Emirates..In the annals of excess, it could be a new high; a more than $300 million, super-sized luxury airplane, bought and outfitted solely for the private comfort of a Saudi Arabian billionaire. Once done, the Airbus A380, the world's biggest passenger plane, will be a "flying palace" for Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the manufacturer announced Monday.
The cost? Well, they aren't exactly saying, but did say that it would cost more than the aircraft's list price of $320 million. The prince will pay extra for custom features that could kick the price up an additional $50 to $150 million.I suppose the $150 million could cover a swimming pool, that they said could be put in the bottom of the plane where cargo would normally go..little extras like private bedrooms, movie theater,gym with a Jacuzzi, lounge-type quarters equipped with a conference area and dining room..
Size does matter....it's 6,000-square feet, and will need a crew of 15.It's as tall as a 7-story building with each wing big enough to hold 70 cars and is capable of carrying 853 passengers in an all-economy class configuration.
What do we know about the little Prince?...He is the first and only customer of this type of airplane..(isn't he special?) The prince is in his early 50's is the only private owner of a Boeing 747-400.This is just chump change for Prince Alwaleed as he is Citigroup Inc.'s biggest individual shareholder and the world's 13th richest person with assets around $20 billion.
So think about the prince flying around the world in his mega fucking airplane when you go to the pumps and fill up your SUV, Hummer and other gas guzzling auto's..ain'tcha proud to be able to contribute to the cause...?
I feel so much better now...

I hate those goddam#ed Hummers! I HATE THEM!!! First of all, unless you're in a war, you don't NEED a frickin' Hummer. Second, they are FUGLY and practically hog up the whole entire road. Or parking lot.
The other evening, John and I saw some a$$hole had parked SIDEWAYS and took up three parking spaces at the grocery store. I tried to take a picture on my camera phone for my blog, but it didn't turn out very well.
I get everywhere I need to go on my bicycle..and it only takes a crew of 12.
Boy, that prince must really have a tiny dick.
I've spent a grand total of $40.00 on gas in the last two months for my piece of junk truck.
It would be funny if some country told him he was not allowed to land because of it's a fuel hog and to big to fit their parking spots.
Amen Goddess!
It was the picture of the snow covered ski slope erected in a desert in Saudi Arabia, complete with artifical snow and a ski lift that got to me.

Excuse me, but how will that mothafucka get off the ground? Is there enough runway in the world?
Can't fly it to heaven, Prince Littledick.
Well, Shelly had an uncle that lived in a school bus. Sorry, I'm leaving this comment about two hours after I read the post and my mind is like a... one of those things with a lot of holes in it.
I was watching a special about the Prince of Dubai. He is indeed very special. I trust him as far as I can throw Tip O'Neill.
Hello, I've been reading your blog for quite some time. It's sometimes the only thing that can brighten a really shitty day, and also the only thing that can make my hubby blow Dr. Pepper out his nose! We love ya!
Side note to this oil business...Look up H Line conversions, and you will find a genius in Kansas who is using old and new technology that Detroit doesn't want us to know about to convert Hummers and other gas guzzlers to electric diesel hybrids that can run on vegetable oil and get fantastic mileage, all while producing enough power to keep even the average redneck construction worker (of which I am one) happy. Again--Love ya'!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if you come back and see if i answered your comment..but I am..
I checked out that website and was very very interesting..and I think I may post about it...thanks for the kind words..and drop by and comment more often...and im very familiar with spewing dr.pepper out my nose...smarts!...
What I find funny is the little prick prince and his half a billion dollar penis are STILL IN THE AIR AT 30,000 FEET!!!!!!
