This is an interesting point to ponder... Why is it that Seattle, a thriving metropolis of over 3.4 million souls in its metropolitan area, cannot install and maintain a public toilet, yet Paris, a thriving metropolis of over 10 million souls in its metropolitan area, can and indeed does install and maintain publicly available, pay-to-poo, self-cleansing toilets? I have used them, and they are by no means disgusting, gross, nor vandalized. What are we doing wrong here???

You are asking us this? Mind where you tread...

Be humble in victory, and gracious in defeat. I've done my part. Now you do yours.

Oh ferchrissakes, gimme a break, Einstein! You just remembered something better than I did. No real intellect in action here by either of us.

And point goes to numimc! On to Round 2, fans! I'm gonna make a guess and say that I'm a bit older than you, so I'm allowed to fergit shit from time to time... It's either that, or all of the I did as a young man that's causing my memory lapses...

Then we are agreed. So when are we gonna break out the grill, Marcin?

Until Oysterfest, the only way I would eat oysters was raw on the half-shell, with just a splash of fresh lemon. At Oysterfest this year, I learned that BBQ'ed on the half-shell with a minced garlic and butter sauce is the new way to go... with a splash of Tobasco. ...

About Oysterfest? Evidently not, my dear Watson.

Fixed it. That's about as succinct an argument that can be made. And there's no need to cite FOX, or any network for that matter. TTK's statement rings true on its own merit, without naming any broadcasters.

Who knew...??

My son turned 8 in August. My daughter turned 6 last week. Yes, wow is right... Pictures are from Oysterfest 2010 in Shelton at the beginning of October.

This is typically the case. I run into this repeatedly in my profession. Short-sighted "visonaries"... My professional society, the ASCE, has been crying this same tune for at least two decades. Nobody listens until someone gets killed. And even then, nothing happens. Couldn't agree more with this assessment. We are indeed, and have been for many years, slouching towards Rome...

Is it just me, or does = ???

Glad to see you're back, C. And your avatars, delicious... as always.

Some people don't take any shit off of goats! (not my photo)

Welcome back, archie. I (we) missed you. :kisss:

Y'all should heed the wisdom of Off "Pamplona" White here... OW- No exhibition of your capriciousness is being solicited here, neither explicitly nor implicitly.

All your brainwaves are belong to us. Resistance is futile...

Been almost three years now...

Now that's just classic! To hell with a piece of red webbing - just leave your hammer! Some dude climbs up, finds it, and says to himself, "Hmmm, ya think someone must be working this route...??" Nice, Joe! :tup:

Jeebus, mark! Don't you know anything? That's where they're building that new super-collider atom-smasher thingy that was the talk of the town on this here board a coupla years ago! It's either that, or the railway entrance to Hitler's secret hideaway. You remember the Eagle's Nest? Well, few people know that he had a replica built here so that after the invasion and conquest of North America, he would have himself a little "home away from home" so to speak. You know how much he liked Bavaria, right? Well, Leavenworth seemed like just the right place...

You're telling me that this thing ain't working? OMFG, we're doomed! Doomed, I tell ya!

Of course! Remember icegirl? TheLawGoddess? caolyn? Kitergal? Lotsa others here...

Agree with your assessment, Doug. Yes, that is the weirdest talus collection that I've ever come across. It's like it never got shook up enough to get settled out. It's like it's fresh rockfall, but there's nowhere from which it could fall. And I love the scratchy, clanky sounds it makes when it shifts...
