If it's just punching kevbone around some more, I find that I have grown weary of this as a form of entertainment.

A firm can make a bunch of money with their government services business (Fema Contracts for instance)....doesn't mean the local Seattle office knows how to design a parking garage. True dat. But are you looking at just that one data point? Surely, a firm that was ranked #1 on ENR's list must be able to do something right, no? So eric, I did a some quick Googling and came up with this from Sound Transit's page. Design errors in the concrete beams, eh?

And apparently at least one English classs...

Old Joke Warning... Q: What's the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers? A: Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets.

I see we're off to a roarin' good time of a start...

This is such a stoopid post, I won't even comment upon it, except to state that it is such a stoopid post.

Wasn't talking about size, eric. Was talking about rankings, which in ENR are based upon annual revenue. If you ain't raking in the revenue, then one can extrapolate that to conclude that you ain't doing much work. If you ain't doing much work, mebbe there's a reason for that...

:laf: You know I luv ya, Rudy, but c'mon! HNTB or whoeverthehellitisyouworkfor is a fine outfit, to be sure. But take a look at the ENR ratings and see where you stack up against my firm. Give in to your hatred, and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete. This bickering is just a new take on an old line... "My dad's better'n your dad, so there!"

Wow, I guess I've been too busy managing projects and missed this gem of a thread while it was still fresh and steaming. But this Fat Tire sure tastes mighty good!

WTF is wrong with you people? We're still two pages shy of being able to discuss global warming. Git with it!!!1

Update pleez, carolyn. OKTHNXBAI!

should douchebag be hyphenated? This site would say "no" in answer to your question. And nice catch, tanstaafl. I was going to pinch the 3rd Place Drone on it until I checked to make sure no one else already had.

See the link in my post immediately above. ^^ I think carolyn and/or rmncwrtr said (in the linked thread) you can get these things (neti pots) at any drug store (Wallgreens, Rite-Aid, etc.). Follow instructions for making the solution, dosages, etc. Do a Google search and a Wikipedia search for "neti pot" and be overloaded with beta. I did, and was.

Gramps, Glad to hear that you had a fun time and your hike was successful from your perspective. And that's the only one that really matters anyway, isn't it? Come back next year and rip it up.

Time for a little review of the procedure... Grossness to ensue in 3... 2... 1...

Coming from joblo/virenda, this just makes a whole lotta sense...

Wow. just put a bullet in my ear right now, m'kay?

remember to wok your dog

that would truly have made my day. NOT!

for which we are forever indebted and obliged.

You don't have to admit to it for us, but please stop telling yourself that it didn't happen, m'kay?
