What are your fake memories of me?

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Well, there was that coalbed gas well we were sitting, you know, the one where we used a diamond-drill to run the casing and the hydrological test string?

I remember sitting in the doghouse doing the dailies, and then there was this loud screeching noise and a crash. You looked out the window and said "holy shit!", and the Baker-Hughes guy ran out onto the lease waving his hands like a madman.

We fished for two days, and when we got the tool out of the hole, it was bent like a lightning bolt, hanging from one thread on the placement sub. And the Baker-Hughes guy pulled out the instrument section, and get this! All the recorders were still running.

I remember how surprised you were that we got useful data, even though we had to pay a hundred-thirty thou for the tool damage.

Hoo yeah, I remember that- but a hell of a lot worse came out of my mouth than "holy shit!" I think I may have invented some new ones.

well, yeah, but we **were** in mixed company, and the Baker-Hughes guy was religious and conservative, and everytime **he** swore he apologised profusely, so.....

was a damn shame that the client went bankrupt and we got stiffed on our pay-cheques, though!

Experience of a lifetime, though. We wouldn't be who we are today without it.

True, even if the Pennsylvania DEP has a warrant out for my arrest.

Good times.
