Jlall

These guys are the Hamman and jlall of architecture imo. Not in our budget but still very helpful for clarifying ideas.

One has been the best architect in the world for 20+ years and the other is lame and dumb?!?

Is that part of the pre-match?

Bosworth is the old master. Hoedemaker is the stubborn, imaginative up and comer.

lol@overrated.

 

are you serious?

It was a joke, so no.

 

Seriously: As it is, I have absolutely no way of knowing whether he is overrated, underrated or rated.

 

And now for something completely different: A man with two noses.

I was in Mt. Airy, Maryland this morning looking at used bricks. I believe this is near kenberg's stomping grounds. There must be some money in this business because the owner said he owns properties in Maryland and Aruba worth $ 2+ million each and another one in Miami which he didn't give an estimate for, in addition to the business property. I've met several guys in the construction business lately who have sideline businesses as property owners. They're starting to sound like dentists. I liked this guy. He told one of the workers to cut the engine on his front loader because the noise was spooking my dog.

In Praise of the Great Bull Walrus

 

by Alden Nowlan

 

I wouldn't like to be one

of the walrus people

for the rest of my life

but I wish I could spend

one sunny afternoon

lying on the rocks with them.

I suspect it would be similar

to drinking beer in a tavern

that caters to longshoremen

and won't admit women.

We'd exchange no

cosmic secrets. I'd merely say,

"How yuh doin' you big old walrus?"

and the nearest of

the walrus people

would answer,

"Me? I'm doin' great.

How yuh doin' yourself,

you big old human being, you?"

How good it is to share

the earth with such creatures

and how unthinkable it would have been

to have missed all this

by not being born:

a happy thought, that,

for not being born is

the only tragedy

that we can imagine

but need never fear.

p.s. How about a thread that won't admit women?

My roommate is gone for work and I've been taking care of his cat for the past several days. She's easily the most annoying creature to live with ever. She has no problem scratching on my door to wake me up too early in the morning.

You can try to teach her not to do so, as I did to my old cat. Whenever she woke me scratching the door when she wanted to go up I would hit her.

 

She learnt quickly: After scratching the door and making sure I was awake she would run and hide under the bed, waiting for me to open the door and go to sleep, then she would go out without danger.
