We SHELL not falter in our attempt to reach an AMOCOable solution. However, the Persian GULF is too important to our security for these terrorists to ever be EXXONerated. We must MOBILize all resources against them. CHEVRONald Reagan Memorial Pipeline sounds good to me. posted by quercus at 11:52 AM on October 23, 2001

Chevron christened the Condoleezza Rice, a 136,000 deadweight-ton

Wait a minute...
Some of the people in the Bush Ad are affiliated with oil companies?
Don't tell the dittoheads, they think they're in the White House because they're "adults" and the "adults are in charge now".
Whoa, I said dittoheads "think", 'scuse me. posted by BarneyFifesBullet at 2:47 PM on October 23, 2001

Common practice to name their tankers after former execs and board members. Their is a George Schulz (fmr board member) as well. posted by scottfree at 9:19 PM on October 23, 2001

You can put the thesaurus down now and go back to the radio for further instructions. posted by BarneyFifesBullet at 9:50 PM on October 23, 2001
Now Exxon, on the other hand, decreed that, following the Exxon Valdez disaster, no Exxon tanker was to have the word EXXON as part of the vessel's name. This was to minimise the damage to the company's reputation the next time they dropped 37,000 tonnes of crude oil into a pristine wilderness.
