And they said the dirty little secret that soon will come out in the BP oil spill situation/investigation is that a number of Halliburton contractors had warned the field foreman that what they were about to do in regards to the Deepwater Horizon was extremely dangerous. When he said it wasn't unsafe these same contractors got on their field boat and steamed away. Six hours later the whole thing blew up.

You heard it here first. Mark it down.

I'm pretty sure we've seen him in the sunlight. He doesn't sparkle.

I'd actually heard reports of something similar awhile ago. Along the lines that the foreman told the contractors to go fuck themselves and he was going ahead with their operation.

You got to be one dumb fuck yourself, Totem; it seems like one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan for our forces is in a Blackhawk. Get your Robert Downey Jr *** back to the news copter in LA or whatever the hell it was you were doing before you go rotors-down.

Is it just me, or is "Deepwater Horizon" the perfect name for a disaster movie? Or the scene of some epic cataclysm in a Final Fantasy game.

It could be like Event Horizon, but in a sub.

Shit, I'm sorry. My brother-in-law finally got out of the middle-eastern theater and is now in South Korea. Umm...which may not be any safer anymore.
