From fifty five yards out and with the wind in their face, the team's decision to kick a last minute field goal was little more than sea water in the reactor.
When the near-bankrupt company tried to find a buyer for its worthless assets, almost all observers saw the move as being no better than running sea water through the reactor, and that insolvency was unavoidable.

Sea Billy's are very much like their sister kissing, 23 and still in 3rd grade, counterparts the Hill-Billy's. Sea Billy's often occupy the small coastal towns as opposed to middle America. Their presence is usually accompanied by banjo music, Keystone Ice cans and underage pregnancy.
Oh, shit. I hear banjos, and there's a pregnant 12 year old. Here come the Sea-Billy's. Lets pay up and go to a different bar. Last time we drink in Shelter Cove, CA
