I definitely agree that 5 dollars a gas is something can, and will happen as the average price range. It's usually during the spring that the prices usually go up again, and we're not even there yet. Definitely expect for them to get high next month.

Assuming you mean $5 per gallon, that's still close to half of what we pay.

Them sexy UK folk pay upwards of 10+ dollars USD a gallon(maybe more, maybe less). We got in made in the shade in the US OF A.

Except that most of that cost is returned in a tax credit and better road maintenance without borrowing billions. You either tax it or lose it. America is totally wrong on this issue.

So us Americans actually do pay more gas. It's just an illusion that we pay less.

Judy Viger, NY mom, hired strippers for son's 16th birthday party, arrested.

A New York mother was charged Monday for hiring two strippers for her son's 16th birthday party, police said.

As it turns out, strippers and underage teens do not the perfect birthday party make.

At least that's the opinion of the South Glens Falls Police, who arrested New York mother Judy Viger on Monday for allegedly organizing and paying for a stripper surprise for her son's 16th birthday.

Viger, 33, was charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Associated Press. The incident reportedly occurred at Spare Time Bowling Center in South Glens Falls, N.Y., in November.

The AP reports that Viger is accused of hiring two women to dance with -- and on -- teens at the upstate bowling alley. The news outlet notes that pictures from the party appeared to show a "scantily clad, tattooed woman clinging upside down to a seated teen."

Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy told The Post Star that police had interviewed numerous witnesses and parents. Officials said some children at the party were as young as 13.

WRGB called Tops in Bottoms, the company that reportedly supplied the strippers, and the man who answered the phone told the station the incident was "blown out of proportion."

Similarly, a man who said he was Viger's friend argued "police have it all wrong," Fox23 News writes.

According to WRGB, Tops In Bottoms said dancers did not know anyone at the party was underage.

Yeah, $3.75 - 5 per gallon is still dirt cheap by our standards. But then again, fuel efficient cars are are pretty much standard in Europe today. Engines for petrol cars are becoming so efficient, that diesel cars are no longer an advantage economically in the long run.

The VW company car I usually borrow when work dictates it, averages at about 16km/liter in city driving, which corresponds to approx. 38miles/gallon. It's an automatic though.

Yes, I know...but I was strictly speaking about where I live.

You live in Florida right? Should be easy women there.

Plus you're 19 right? Just go to a strip club.

World's Worst Tattoo finally fixed.

The man with the "world's worst portrait tattoo" finally got his happy ending on Thursday when he had the opportunity to fix the botched ink job of his late wife that had plagued him for so many years.

Tattoo artist Dennis Foust inked the $450 portrait tattoo. "I had seen Faust's portrait work on his website and he even tattooed some of my in-laws with designs in honor of Mindy so I was confident going in," Stahl told Yahoo! Shine in his first media interview. "But when the swelling subsided, it didn't look like Mindy at all—her teeth looked evil."

To add insult to injury, a friend had emailed him a link to a blog post titled "Worst Tattoo Ever" with a photo of Stahl's tattoo posted by a disgruntled On the Edge ex-employee. A few months later, Stahl returned to the studio and Faust tried to fix it, adding the words, "In loving memory of Mindy" but the damage was too great.

"I was embarrassed to wear sleeveless shirts and didn't want anyone to see the tattoo but everyone in my town knew about it," says Stahl.

Foust told Shine: "This was my very first portrait tattoo done years ago. I've since moved forward, improved my skills, and my work has been featured in magazines."

Recently, a friend of Stahl's recommended that he visit Scott Versago at Empire Ink in Akron, Ohio, who had heard of the infamous tattoo and on Thursday Versago fixed it—for free. Vergaso wrote on his Facebook page: "I got to tackle the official '#1 worst portrait tattoo in the world' today. I'm sure you've all seen it a million times online, as had I.

I couldn't believe my eyes when this guy walked in and showed me this project. I think my jaw literally hit the floor. He went on to tell me the story behind the portrait; He had just married his beautiful wife and not even three months afterwards she was killed in a horrible house fire accident leaving him to raise their three children alone.

Shortly after he went to a local tattoo studio to memorialize his wife and was left with this abomination. He later returned to that studio for one more session, thinking that perhaps 'he had done something wrong in the healing of the tattoo' and they butchered it even more the second time. Finally, he drove all the way to my studio, Empire Ink, just to meet me and to see what his options were. Touched by his story, I gifted the entire project to him for free. Now he has closure and I have an amazing story to add to my portfolio!"

The fix-it job took just three hours. "I'm so happy and want everyone to see it," Stahl told Shine. "I'm going to enter the tattoo in a contest hosted by On the Edge to see if they recognize me."
