America or the US

Man, that reminds me about the time I got to light a fire to burn off a 10 acre oil spill. The East Texas Air Quality Board said that we could burn it for 30 minutes.... heh. I guess they never saw that much oil burn at one time. Once it got cooking, the flames alone were a good 50 feet into the air.

Ha ha ha ha.. what'd they expect you to do to put it out? Drown Texas?

I really despise how our industry deals with spills. Either burn it or hit it with a surfactant and dissolve it into the ocean. Both of which are horrendous for the environment.

Now I'm just imagining one group of contestants just throwing a burning rag into the test bed and screaming "Yeeeeehaaawwww!"

That's awesome.

Although I hate that they do it in reality-TV-style. I think that's cool, and impressive, why must they add in the 'epic' music, and talking to the camera moments with "We didn't come here for second place." NO ONE DID

NO ONE HAS EVER

All right, all right.
Now that there's a chance I won't win a PS4, I'll enter.
Sure, sign me up.
I more-than-likely won't be there due to time zone issues and such, but in the unlikely event my numbers somehow come up, I really don't want or need a PS4; I'd be much happier with a $200 gift card from Amazon (.co.uk or .de or .fr or whatever), so in that case, switch prizes with #2.
I'm in, but one caveat: we don't need the PS4 (long story short: we're getting one for free elsewhere), so if my number gets called, you can either switch me to a gift cert or just pick another number.
:awesome:
