Well, by default, if I'm old, then surely my *** is just as old. Maybe even older... Think about that.
what came first, magnuss, or his ***?
I did come out of the womb *** first. The first thing I ever did in my life was moon the delivery room. Then the doctor had to drag me out by my beard.
on another note, I got that nasty SOB of a job bid. I can relax for a tick now. ugh!
What's it on this time? How many EE subs do you compete with on average (not including the dreaded "out of towners")?
a nursing home down on the reservation. came in around 2m, I deal with 2 other ME contractors that like to be in the ballpark with me, maybe 2-3 others that are throwing bids way too low. they've been pissing me off pretty throughly. not that I am upset about getting beat, but one of us 3 that know whats up could've made some $$$, and their leaving large amounts of cash on the table. it's stupid.

I really don't understand the bidding system sometimes. It's so obvious when people are fudging numbers to win a bid! They really need to start taking the average of all bids and go with the median, IMO. Low bids that win usually either A.) always end up doing the shoddiest work or B.) end up costing just as much as the average budget set forth in the bid cycle or more or C.) combination of B and the projected time is ***canned!
I think we may have had this discussion before, but this always drives me NUTS!
Did I tell you about the time this one GC had the balls to call other GCs on a bid day to get their numbers!?! Cajones!

yeah, it's a little crazy. let's set up a system, then do everything we can to circumvent said system. sounds asinine, no? yea we've had the conversation to varying degrees, but it really is a problem issue that no on wants to adress. I think the architect *cough cough* should help the owners make a more informed decision, IE: "O ya these guys are 15k low, but they'll change order you to death, whereas good ole' mosin's number is what he'll finish the project for." ect. ect. Generally the owner doesn't know his *** from his elbow, & a little knowledge from the design team could go a long way to helping these poor fools get thier money's worth.

This is what we should do...We should totally bring back mafia monopolies on construction a la 1930's to 1960's! The question is, which AHers are going to get buried under a stadium? LOL!
I recently read an article on why we should all be grilling chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, but I forgot where I read it. I found this trying to find it though, has some yummy-looking stuff on it!
Aha! Found the little sonovagun. My husband found it actually ^^ he's awesome that way. So it's a little rude, so read at your own risk, but it sure looks tasty!

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
