Big Bull, driving back from Dallas to Houston last night I
counted 15 rigs either drilling, or being set up or torn down, as I drove along I 45, Nabors was the only name I could read on one of the rigs which was within about 50 yards of the highway. I also saw about 10 trucks loaded with drill pipe headed north.
Take Care
Steve

O/T Slider the Mouth CONTINUES with 'SargeK' Obsession (Read: Admiration)! >g<

Slider: "Sarge; by the way; there is a new movie coming out based on the true life story of an infamous present day online trader; coming out late February with Ben Afleck, starring.

BOILER ROOM is the title.... you need to see it; maybe there is even a Sargesque character ??? This ougght to satiate (or stimulate) your conspiratorial thirst..."

Slider: ". Oil, as we all know disconnected from FGH - or, vice - versa; but I did actually find a rather thinly traded commodity that all though thinly traded; actually tracked the shareprice performance of FGH nearly perfectly. Amazingly; it is pre-packaged organic fertilizer - aka - Horse Shit."

AND

Slider: "PS - SargeK; I was not kidding about the movie - BOiler Room; it IS a real movie getting released...
I hear there is a scene in the movie; where an Old crummudgeon Retired Military Officer, get's psychologically manipulated, in a spy vs. spy manner and finally gets taken for his life savings by this young fast talkin boiler room cretin manipulator ...
ooops; don't want to give away too much - see the movie & tell me if there isnt a SargeK character ?
SargeK - you may actually have been the catalyst for some young online smart ass with a bit of literary talent - to pen a screenplay - now making himself filthy rich - off of your - non compensated idea & your online character -
Whodathunkit ? SargeK - the human internet virus - coins the "boiler room" cretin manipulator idea - and that theme then becomes a movie ; now making countless others rich...
"Boiler Room" - hmmmmmm; do any Internet search and see what poster keeps coming up on that search... SargeK.

Sounds like someone got rich on your idea Sarge...
PS - I think Ernest Borgnine would have been the perfect casting for you by the way... The guy that played Uncle Festus woud be my 2nd choice & I'd bet we could teach you to do the trick with the light bulb too...zzzzz"

COMMENT: "Sounds like someone got rich on your idea Sarge..." Thanks for the indorsement!
To think the Boiler Room chieftan actually credits SargeK with an ORIGINAL idea is a NEW beginning of a very LOOOOOONNNNNGGG Internet relationship. STAND STILL MY HEART! I'm getting to old for this thinly traded commodity (pre-packaged organic fertilizer) aka "Horse Shit". >VBG< Good, REAL good!

SargeK (LOL)

P.S. Who did they get to play Slider/Artic7/nosh pit bull, the CHARACTER with a THOUSAND alaises? >g< Jack Nicholson would have been my choice!
