Black Ooze Invades Los Angeles
A raunchy black ooze bubbled up out of the streets of Los Angeles today.
What are you supposed to do when your city starts to emit an oily black discharge? Do you think the mayor will be out promoting Los Angeles as a "dark chocolate" city?

The 1200 block of South Olive Street was also shut down when its pavement suddenly began to bulge and the oily liquid bubbled from cracks and manhole covers.
Families grabbed what they could and fled to a parking lot across the street from the brick apartment building and watched as Department of Water and Power, Gas Co. and city sanitation workers huddled with police and firefighters trying to figure out where the steaming-hot liquid was coming from.
By midafternoon South Olive Street seemed ready to deliver a gusher.

10 Amendments:
Can we refine it, call it ethanol and force comsumers to put it in their cars? I am sure someone in LA will try to make a buck off of it.
This stuff would make some really bad dark chocolate milk.
Maybe it is getting piped in from Le Brea?

Funny you should say that. As it turns out, it was backwash from an oil company. They were flushing lines and must've dumped a helluva lot of water into the drain!
I think that Beverly Hillbillys had an episode like that.
Jethro drilled into an oil pipeline that was running through the property, and he thought that he had struck oil again.
Saturday Nights best Beverly Hillbillys take off was The Bel Arabs.
I wish I had a link to the Theme song it was great.
La brea really is cool to see if you've never been there. I do always chuckle when I hear people call then "The La Brea Tar Pits" thought. "La Brea" is Spanish for The Tar... so you're really calling it "The the tar tar pits". Sort of like Lambeau being "The Frozen Tundra" when Tundra by definition is frozen.
Thats like saying iI'll have a French Dip with au jus.
Great conversation going here...
Lisa - Isn't a French Dip a roast beef sandwich with au jus? And when you order it do you have to ask for the au jus on the side or is that implied? And why didn't this food item get a revamp during the "bash the French" times to be called a "freedom dip"?
Nick, what do they call the tundra in Alaska when there is a thaw? What happens when global warming thaws the permafrost? And is there a difference between tundra and permafrost?
These are the questions that keep me awake at night...
I'm going to have to seek advice from the Department of Redundancy Department.
I think the corrected name has been changed to account for deviations but not to clear up any repetative redundant duplication that may be unnecessary. You probably need to contact the Department of Department Naming
I think that the Freedom Dip comes with a side of black oily goo.
