My all time favorite quote, from any movie--ever!
Op --who is admittedly partial to Clint and his on screen personae-- "Giles" wrote in message ...

I mean it's a mile deep with tons of pressure on it and the wells I'm used to seeing all have those little grasshopper pump deals. I thought you had to pump the oil out or force in something else to force the oil out. If there is so much pressure in the oil field itself that it overcomes the pressure of the sea then why don't we have natural oil flows all over the world like magma coming out under pressure in volcanic areas? Larry L ( who it seems doesn't have a clue how an oil well works ) All the oil wells I've seen in the movies "come a gusher" when a hole is drilled in the right spot. Kinda like lancing a big boil. And then John Wayne comes along and puts a big valve on top and closes it. It's only after the gusher phase is over that they have to start pumping. So I guess what we need is John Wayne to come along and dive down to 5,000 feet and put a valve on that gusher. -- Ken Fortenberry (who knows less about oil wells than you do) Please. Even a mention of his name brings out the wingers who still believe he was another war hero like Sylvester Stallone. ;=)) Bad enough children have to see the name and pix of this phony all over. Think maybe now I just may have to go watch that other delusional classic "Hellcats of the Navy." Dave I stayed up MUCH too late watching "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Pale Rider" back to back a few nights ago. Now there's a REAL hero! giles who knows that dyin' ain't much of a livin'. |
