What a “Ship show” this has become.
Considering that the primary qualification for being a judge is good judgment, Mr. Shipley, this statement caught my eye..
“We were rigged up on the Charley Miles ranch along Powder River. Our tool pusher had us NOT EVEN bolt down the blowout preventer, just drill the rat hole and drill the mouse hole and get on with it. WOW.”
"WOW", indeed.
It should give one pause that you would consider the intentionally stupid act of endangering the life and limb of a crew by circumventing a safety device, an expression of "manliness" and/or macho daring.
Thinking like that is the purest example of the kind of bad judgement that fills countless graves in cemeteries across the land every day.
