As I missed most of the debate today - here's how the UK bus campaign came about. -- (link) - LMS Jan 29, 08:19 5
- Thanks for that. -- nm - Krusty Jan 29, 08:24
- "These ads featured the URL of a website which said non-Christians would burn in hell for all eternity." Sweet! (What are the famous Carlsberg ads?) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 29, 08:23 1
  - [Assumes deep male voice] "Carlsberg. Probably the best lager in the World". -- nm - LMS Jan 29, 08:25

So, has anyone here added a room to their house? - Amy Jan 29, 08:19 10
- yes, but I didnt change any of the exterior walls - tRUMaN Jan 29, 08:44
- You need and architect and an engineer. Besure they are local to the P&Z codes and regulations. -- nm - lileve Jan 29, 08:27
- We could use a bigger kitchen but given some of the figures I have heard (from neighbors that were looking into similar) it would be easier to sell - HdnAgnda Jan 29, 08:22 3
  - Yeah, I'm not even sure the garage foundation would support a second floor, even though there is an attic there now. I think it's just a pipe dream. -- nm - Amy Jan 29, 08:26 2
    - Do you need to raise the roof? -- nm - lileve Jan 29, 08:28 1
      - *plays Jay-Z* -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 08:29
- no, but I helped an uncle do one. he hired a designer, not an architect. - mafic Jan 29, 08:22
- if you don't, the contractor will have to hire an architect. plans must be filed to get the building permits -- nm - zork Jan 29, 08:20 1
  - Do we get the contractor to do a base estimate first? And to check the foundation? And then have the architect to the final plans? -- nm - Amy Jan 29, 08:35
- I declared the breakfast knook to be the Hot Chicks Room. No architects were required. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 29, 08:20
loosi, I went to Catholic school. Evolution was never mentioned, AFAIR. - ty97 Jan 29, 08:19 7
- that is so weird to me. I went to Catholic school. In grade school we studied evolution. There was a bit in the book about creationism - loosilu Jan 29, 08:20 6
  - it's sort of funny for me to think that a lot of the Protestant sects have formed to be *more* strict than the Catholics. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 08:25 5
    - thinking... didn't the Reformation come about because the Catholic church wasn't strict enough about certain things? -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 08:29 3
      - also entirely corrupt -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 08:40 2
        
        that's what I meant. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 08:43 1
        
        Tangent: I *love* the way The Tudors is portraying this. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 08:48
    - yep. but I guess it comes from strict adherence to the bible. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 08:27
So to recap... God may or may not exist; Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy still up for debate. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 29, 08:17 1
- knowing what we don't know is better then only knowing what we know -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 29, 08:19
[deleted] 21

    - The food and drinks are great. It's huge place and there's no cover for the live music. And usually the bands are pretty good. - Diva Jan 29, 08:35 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Maybe. Not sure yet. -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 08:41 1
        
        Wish I knew you were in town this past weekend... - secretslacker Jan 29, 08:52
    - as long as the band that was playing isn't there. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 08:25 3
      - Dear God, they sucked so hard. And not in a good way. -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 08:31
      - [deleted] 1
        
        nothing so drastic, no. It's all good. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 08:33
- Oh, wait... I came up with a great place for Tystravaganza... - secretslacker Jan 29, 08:19 8
  - I was thinking Splash. - ty97 Jan 29, 08:22 6
    - Yeah, but they won't let Jack Dawson in. - secretslacker Jan 29, 08:23
    - [deleted] 4
      - Tend to perfer bars where we can socialize, with reasonably priced drinks (and no cover charge) - ty97 Jan 29, 08:24 3
        
        Marshall Stacks is great... vibe is similar to a couple of the bars where we've done Tystravaganza before. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 29, 08:25
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        never know with you. -- nm - ty97 Jan 29, 08:26
  - This is the place .... and yes, they have food, sandwiches/bar food mostly -- (link) - secretslacker Jan 29, 08:20
