And I should ding yer ass for making me look up "tautologous"...

You have to read it with an English accent, makes it sound even more snobby and academic

Hey San, when are we all going to hook up and drink some more Smith's?

I don't know if that bar that peach's works at sells it but maybe the owner would be willing to let us bring some and then sell it back to us? I haven't had any since the poker game.

Whats crazy is another firm is building a tower to compete with the Burj, so Dubai will host the TWO tallest buildings in the world.

According to this page, the height (including the spire) is a half-mile (2650 ft), 337 feet taller than originally guessed.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]America?s Favorite Architecture is the result of an AIA and Harris Interactive poll of 1,800 Americans naming their 150 favorite structures across the nation based on nominations from AIA member architects. As we negotiate rights and confirm facts, the AIA150 logo is used as a placeholder. This remains a work in progress and you are encouraged to contribute. A click on the "Comment or learn more" link brings you to a dedicated page where you can learn more about the chosen subject and tell us a personal story about it, argue its merits or faults, and read and debate others? comments. In the months ahead, we will continue to engage the public in a discussion of the built environment as part of a year-long celebration of The American Institute of Architects 150th anniversary, including 156 Blueprint for America community-service projects at the local level.[/FONT]

Empire State Building is overrated IMO.

 

[scooter1369]

The Winchester Mystery House is certainly the most intriguing to me.

 

[Ginn & Juice]

 

[StooGrimson]

Lion's Den for me.

I expected such ignorance from you. The clear winner is Hustler Hollywood in Monroe.
