green thumb, black gold

i've just decided that when i grow up and buy my own house, i'm putting an oil derrick in the front yard. it will be fully functional, and i will not map out natural gas or sewage pipes before i place it. i just got this feeling that if i buy a house and put an oil derrick in the front yard, i'll actually strike, then pump and sell, oil. i'll also turn my garage into a refinery, and my refrigerator will have a gasoline pump instead of a water/ice dispenser.

i am an american. the above is my right.

unfortunately, the picture above is of a "nodding donkey". oil derricks are verticle. and awesome.
