Wonder how that beauty contest is going??

$3 - $9 Billion could by a nice little resource 'implant'  job.

Bigger is better.

**********

Supermajor ExxonMobil lost its spot atop the list of the 500 most valuable US companies ranked by Fortune magazine despite posting the second highest annual profit in US history in 2012.

The Irving, Texas-based refiner and explorer, with annual revenues of $449.9 billion, lost the crown to retailing behemoth Wal-Mart, which posted $469.2 billion in revenues for 2012.

The oil giant, however, crushed the revenue champion in annual profits; ExxonMobil made a staggering $44.88 billion in profits, dwarfing Wal-Mart's $17 billion.............California-based Chevron came in a distant third - as it has for several years in a row - on revenues of $233.9 billion and profits of $26.18 billion.

Believe our beauty contest came to a close with a brief four word comment to all attending by IOC Management at the AGM meeting.

"Exxon is the winner"

Fashion circles anticipate great interest in her attire when she takes to the cat walk.

I think Mr. Tricirotops keeps Miss EMC around just to keep Ms Exxon knowing that if she's not going to offer the laundry, cooking and BJs that Miss EMC will be more than happy too.

I know you meant EWC, as in Energy World, and Triceratops, and I think beauty contests suck, but I watch them anyway for the swimsuit segment, like an art aficiando. The winner is never obvious, since LeDonald Trump fixes them all. <g>
