Oh yeah; the leader dude of Iran, however you spell his name. Something like Ahwannausedatoilet or something

Have ta start bringing my lunch to uni now. That will save me a good 5-7 bucks a day at least. It adds up for a broke college student. But heh, whatever I will end up "saving" will have to go to supplies....

Don't forget Dubya...

Numbness and insensitivity is the desired effect of an opiate, after all...

Lol@title change, although there's a grammatical error that still persists.

Pathetic. They could have just used a cam phone, or even ganked a picture from Google Maps! Makes my head hurt too much to say anything else...

Portofino, and it's one of the WORST IMHO. Faux Venice surrounded by 9000 acres of parking...DO NOT WANT.

Yes, and there isn't too much trash on the ground, either!

According to some, it's BFE, since it's WAYYY outside the loop!

And of course, this issue cannot be addressed without both sides making idiotic personal remarks about each other, rather than the topic at hand.

As I've said before; DuDu go BaiBai

Let's hope they don't chop 30 stories off of Mainplace or anything like that!

Say, how did the vacation adventure thingy go anyway?

And there was the gnashing of teeth, and the rending of garments...

Nah, I wanna hear your reasons for calling it "second rate".

Hey now, what exactly qualifies the Beck building as "Second Rate"?

Wow, they literally left you up a creek without a paddle...I'm so sorry (excuse the lame and almost inappropriate pun here). But hey, at least you have those reserves to tide you over until you get a new position. Good luck with that man; sometimes it eventually works out for the better and all that.

BFE indeed. That portion of Missouri City is quite far from everything; the closest grocery is the Kroger on Tx 6 and University/Murphy; some 3-4 miles away or so; at least that area up the road has a decent amount of retail (Target, Home Depot, etc). AFAIK, the proposed WalMart on Ftbend Pkway was never built. The main drag into the community itself is about 2-3 miles long as well, and does not have much on it yet. Another option besides taking the long hike to 59 would be 288, but the stretch of 6 towards there is long, and depressing. Almeda is another option if you work in the TMC (My mother used to take it when we lived in the area), but it has horrendous traffic during rush hour, particularly in the mornings. The community itself is quite nice; lots of trees, greenspace, etc, but it's just too far from anything at the moment. I used to live in the vicinity, and not much has changed since then (from what I've seen).

Well, it was probably considered "great" since the Starchitect Robert AM Stern designed it. In fact, it's not even original; a structure designed by him in California or something beforehand bears a striking resemblance to the Hobby. It seems that most Starchitects can get away with that these days (ie Gehry and his multiple clones of crumpled-tinfoil buildings). Perhaps the editors at Phaidon enjoy stirring us architecture critics into debates over things like this; maybe they are just as sadistic and argumentative as we are here. *Line Deleted, disregard*

No, you're wrong! It's the BLIND citizens' fault, since they don't care!

That works in more than one way!

So what's the prize, eh? I guess I could show off some stuff I did a while back for SimCity and the like. (Those who know about it...SHHHH) Are 3d models rendered for gaming use ok to show off? EDIT: Wait, is this for existing scrapers, or for fantasies and the like? I have a few fantasy designs that may just fit the bill...

I heart the waffle slab system they're using there!
