i don't know about the wings - it would scare the neighbours
would you choose: the power of (say wingless) flight, or a tail?

threads that discuss workplaces are mostly depressing. I'd like to see discussions of people ecstatic to the point of pants-staining lunacy - where're those topics?

Snowi, I am ecstatic to the point of pants-staining lunacy re: my professional situation. I love it.

What I don't love? That dimwit bringing up the Cameron Sinclair/Gutter thing here. SuperBeatledud, you are so right: totally inappropriate. And nasty. And the whole thing makes me so angry I want to make the guttersniper suffer severe physical pain.

i love the way gutter thing getting such a cold response in cameron's hometown, archinect.
attempt to defame, what an asshole thing to do to someone.

lb, I am pretty pissed too. And although I agree with Super beatledud and you, I htink it needs to be discussed. First, to show Cmaeron a little support. second, to show that the gutter seems to have a pathological hate towards Cameron.

And although I like Cameron, and he seems like a great guy, it is bigger I think that AFH, because it is linked to Cameron's name, is being hurt. The Gutter already cuased them a project and I am afraid it could get worse for them.

I think is fucking unbelievable, that one anonymous woman could hurt the reputation of a man and his organization that are out there doing a little good, and more importantly encouraging us to get involved too.

Still pissed....

wings vs tail> DISCUSS

tail all the way. I'm assuming that it a fully functional tail, not some vestige of a tail just hanging there dead. O wait, you said wingless flight, tough one.

Really, I've thought about selling people the rights to cut off my pinkies (cause theres some sickos out there that would pay through the nose to cut someones finger off) then using the money to have state of the art prosthettic thumbs attached where the pinkies used to be... But for them to be opposable (and who wants a non-opposable thumb?) you'd need to cut the pinky off way back at the wrist I guess, metacarpal and all. But ooooh, double thumbs.

Maybe thumbs on my feet...

totally, tail all the way - i wouldn't even have to talk!
tail up, alert and ready. tail down, don't even come near me
prehensile one for frisbee games...
endless possibilities, really

thumbs on the feet.... hmmm

for the AFH slander: detractors come from every direction - let the inconsequential ones slide off. It's crappy how it happens, but that's life one the pampas

its unfortunate that i'm so curious why the pornography thread keeps getting bumped, yet each time i try and peek it seems that skunst has posted yet another image that is, indeed, pornographic and quite unsuitable to be seen on my monitor whilst at work.

I am posting this here just because I respect SuperBeatledue’s desire to let the gutter thread die,
but yes Francklee, I am reading some of those mindless threads as those you mentioned but personally I was only intrigued by the Hottest Arch-ladies one. Some of the other are like WonderK has mentioned somewhere “not really holding my interest”

Feb 24, 06 4:38 pm  ·

could someone give me the background behind the gutter thing? What is the gutter? Who publishes it? What have they written in the past that's got y'all so pissed off?

Really, as I said in the thread, I think that once you get to a certain level you've got to understand that people will try and pull some shit on you and be prepared to deal with that. But from you guys' comments it seems like there's something I don't know here...

This is the best thread ever, and let me tell you why:

My coworkers' grandma died (sad, I know) so I got hit with the brunt of what is normally 3 people's work today, and haven't been paying attention at all. So I stop in and rather than waste my time looking through a bunch of stuff I just come to this thread, and you guys catch me up. I had no idea that somebody was badmouthing Cameron again. What a turd.

Also I didn't know about the Nigeria thing but found out about it from oh so many problems, just an FYI....

And I have to admit the kitten du jour thread is just too damn cute.

and now I'm going home to work on my competition. yay for Fridays. :o\

Within this thread
http://www.archinect.com/forum/threads.php?id=P21939_0_42_0_C
on 2005.08.06 it was written:

I heard the Vatican is thinking about buying all the Dubai island reenactments and then build churches on them. It's the only way that they can think of to make the Middle East more Catholic again.

which is an uncanny inversion of what this subsequent thread

Here's an opinion: I think the are american architects better? thread is just stupid. It's almost like starting a thread called "I think I'm smarter, more attractive, and funnier than you - do you agree?"

Maybe I should start a thread called "I've got 20 minutes to kill before I have to pick up my son at school and I just downed a cappuccino so I'm gonna post like crazy and try to save SuperBeatledud from boredom - discuss".

What's with all the shameless self-promotion lately. You've got this thread, the PiMP management, which just utterly hacks me off when people show up and drop adverts on the forum...... and there's the logmein.com thread, which just seems a little too happy about that site.....and there's also the one about the snowboard design, which I guess is OK but they seem to be having picture linking issues so I can't even vote for anything.

And then SuperBeatledud goes and puts his web site on my "favorite web site NAMES" thread. I'm going to have to spank him when he returns to Cincy.

Note to self: never be the 100th poster to a thread, because then you have to read your comment again and again and again every time you hit "go to bottom" then the last page number. Ouchy!
