Here we go...

Quote:
BP was to soon start a test Tuesday to determine whether the new cap over its ruptured well head can stop oil from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Retired Adm. Thad Allen, who is leading the federal response to the oil disaster, told reporters at a Tuesday news conference the "integrity" test of the cap will begin later in the afternoon.

The well cap placement is part of what Allen calls a "very complex, nuanced and broad-based response" to the rupture of the underwater well in April, an accident that caused worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

The test will measure pressure inside the well and will last anywhere from six to 48 hours. It will involve incrementally closing valves on the new cap, a process that would allow BP to do its pressure measurements. Workers completed seismic surveys around the well site earlier Tuesday to see if any hazards exist on the sea floor, Allen said.

Higher pressure readings would mean the leak is being stopped, while lower pressure indications would mean oil is escaping from other parts of the well.

Let's hope there's been no "underground blowout"...

If not, wouldn't it be wonderful if it actually got STOPPED??

Yeah. Let's also hope the robotics don't "bump" this cap off too while they're "testing" it. :/

Let's hope your dear and fluffy lord is gonna give us a break this time.

I think we'd have heard the good news by now, no ?

( ok - 6 to 48 hours? Really? Me thinks that the " 48 " hour end of the window is to allow them to recover from another " oh shit! " situation, and dream up another bright idea. Seriously, if this doesn't work and the leaky cap was removed, what'll THIS end up doing ? )

Whose dear and fluffy lord, Crappy? It's BP in charge of this...doesn't that make them YOUR "dear and fluffy lord"? Oh, wait, you must mean Obama...who's nobody's "lord"...by what do you mean give us a break? Is he down there putting the cap on? Is he on the ship, running the robots? Wow, I never knew he was so multi-talented...

I heard a reporter note that the only time BP has really moved is when the government came down on 'em and booted 'em in the ass. We need a LOT more of that!

Kitten, I mean Niki ....

I was responding to Byte's remark, not yours.

And in wanting to agree w/ Byte's sentiments, about hoping BP doesn't screw up - AGAIN - I wanted to convey something in the manner as an "amen". But, being an atheist, I didn't think that such a reply was .. " kosher ".

So, instead, I evoked the words of Captain Tightpants.

And that was all it took to set you off.

Huh.

I think Mel Gibson might be in the market for a new g/f. Maybe you should look him up. Y'all would be dandy for each other.

You guys are fascinating in that you think you "set us off" or something. Mocking your supposedly putting all responsibility on Obama isn't being set off, it's merely responding to what reads exactly like your usual crap.

Your explanation makes no sense; I didn't think you were responding to me, but who were you calling a "dear and fluffy lord", or is that a line out of Firefly that I missed?

It's not at all surprising that I took it as you putting everything on Obama...again...as you always do. And what the heck has Mel Gibson got to do with anything? Poor sap isn't someone you could PAY me to go see on the big screen, and in person he's even less, apparently.

Your assumptions are weird.

Are you royalty ? Or are you suffering from multiple personalities ?

First of all, " I " said it. Not anyone else. There's no " you guys " involved here. Just ME.

Second, who the heck is " us " ? Do you partake of some goofy commune, and take turns responding under the name of Niki ?

Third, you really did seem to get torqued at the mere fact that I replied at all. WTF ? If you bothered to READ my post, you'd see that I was poking at BP, and didn't once bring up Obama.

And I just figured that, Mel's seemingly going to be single again, and seeing how you two get so fussy over the most trivial of things, y'all might check each other out.

Or not.

( oh, and by the way... you might want to check out a really cool movie. It's called S E R E N I T Y. )

Thank you Rahlm, for clarifying. Much to your lack of understanding, Crappy, I never memorized the lines from either Firefly or Serenity.

There's nothing surprising in my assuming by "lord" you were sniping at Obama...you do it consistently.

As for "you guys", you're definitely not the only one here who misunderstands people responding as them getting all head up, when they're not. And it's generally those of your ilk, the RWAs, who claim they got others' panties twisted, foaming at the mouth, etc., etc., when it's not the case at all. It's like there's some need for drama or something, and your assuming I was actually angry is just another example.

That you see it as being "torqued" is your own drama...and you often don't refer to Obama by name, but instead call him by something that indicated we "adore" him or something--by "we" in that context I mean everyone else on this board, none of which worship him or anything like it.

By "us" I meant the non-RWAs, because it is almost invariably we who are told we've gotten all riled up when we haven't. Some generalities become so obvious after a certain amount of time that they're worth noting in passing.

Actually, your response has been much more vehement than mine ever since I remarked initially. Royalty? Multiple personalities? That's not over the top to you?

Which is quite enough time spent responding to this unimportant back-and-forth, I'm off to have dinner. Have a nice evening.

Yeah, that is a fair assumption. Given that the MSM does see Obama as " sort of God ".

But it should have been clear that I was talking about THE God, not " a " god. I commented on HIM giving us a break. That doesn't even fit w/ the " Obama as God " mindset. It just doesn't.

Sweetie, there were only 2 replies in the thread, including mine. My comment wasn't even directed towards you, and yet you still got out of sorts. Denying it is beyond silly. Just own up to it, and leave it be.

This is what I mean. Nothing in my post had anything to DO with Obama. I fully explained what I meant, and you still babble on about Barry.

Seems I'm not the only one living rent free in your head.

And now you're repeating yourself. Clearly, you're all worked up.

See, you're rambling now. Not making a lick of sense. I explained all this as well.

Finally ! Maybe your lack of food had you weak and your thinking was disoriented. But then I'd have to believe you're CONSTANTLY deprived of nourishment....

Maybe that's for another thread.

Full of irrelevant insults and deliberate mischaracterizations...not worth dealing with. Has nothing to do with the topic, and I explained my misunderstanding, you're free to interpret to your heart's content. Nice try, but I'm not buying into it:

Love how another thread was started, instead of discussing the latest developments in this one.

Funny, that.

Oh well. I'm sure there's no " oh shit! " moment going on here. First they said up to 48 hours...now ?

Sometime later this MONTH ?

Yeah, right.

Be sure to blame Obama for it. And the MSM isn't the one here who refers to him as "sort of god". YOU are the one that does that, consistently. "Messiah", "The One"... you've got all sort of cute pet names for him. Do you practice writing your name for the day you finally become his wife?

On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.
