Board of Trustees Approves Upgrades to BDS

Oh I forgot, thanks for feeding them. People don't realize how bad the food we get can be. Most of the time we get a buffet style breakfast, then carry a cold sandwich with chips in a box from the host utility that really sucks! So if you want a crew to really bust their tail for you, tell them you are going to grab some grub and a few beers (as a utility man now I have to say we cannot accept anything ) but it really does make a difference when it seems people care instead of them coming out and saying "when's the power gonna be back on" "ok I know how to fix it and could have an hour ago" and so forth. You would be amazed at what I've been offered before though, it can get craaaaaayzzzzzzzy!

I can imagine what you've been offered..Today's society has become to dependent of luxury items such as power, cable, internet, AC's & becomes desperate when our lives doesn't follow the gameplan you could say..

Our power went out the other day & was out for almost 3 hours here in Oxford..It was absolutely miserable Bro & made me realize how bad it could be if a tornado or a big hurricane comes in Mobile & flattens Alabama like Hurricane Fredric(I think was the name..I wasn't even born yet..Just have read articles about the storm)..And levels the amount of trees in it's path like Fredric di coming up the State..Could you imagine the chaos if like a asteroid like the one hit Russia a while back..Knocks out our grid in parts of the US or all of it for months & years possibly..Scary to think about..

And yes the tornado that I was talking about was as James Spann puts it, a "Red Letter" weather day, when he says that, you know what's about to hit the fan..LOL

Is the funding coming from the AD's or the university's budget?

I'm not sure. if the board had to approve this, makes me wonder if it's university budget or not.

Nothing wrong with "going" in a giant sink.

I did that in the superdome when Bama played Tulane in 92. I was pretty intoxicated and was peeing in the circular sink. Someone came in and saw me and said that was the sink. I said sorry, I'm pretty drunk and couldn't tell the difference. We laughed

I guess when a thread about toilets and urinating breaks out, that is a sign we are desperate for the season to begin.

Either way, I can see where students find that a little annoying.

Why? He peed all over the knobs:biggrin2:

Exactly..I recently watched a Dateline episode & believe it or not..The nastiest place in a bathroom is actually the sink in a bathroom..They showed under fluorescent light that there was more fickle matter on the sink, than there was on the toilet seat, and there was fickle matter on the ceiling..How it got there still has me scratching my head..LOL

When you flush, it pushes it up.

I'm guessing he means fecal matter, which is poo.

Can't wait for the season to get here !

Dude blew up in my old office building un huntsville...literally. I think he got in the stall...turned around...and exploded. There was fecal matter errwhere! Really felt bad for the first person to try and enter that stall after he left...and the janitors!

When you think you have to go, but then you can't, until you stand up and then you have to go again, but no.

troughs are becoming a thing of the past and the few remaining ones should be cherished

agreed.

you can move like twice the amount of men through a bathroom with a trough.

there was one bar on the strip that had a trough...the one on the corner just off campus.
