Warner Robins is the gateway to hell? I knew I had been to hell and back a couple of times, I just didn't realize it was so close.

Not mine, but oh so true.

This site has a batch of them.

I wanted to hang the 'Nepotism' one up in my office - "The only we promote more than family values, are family members".

Better taste prevailed.

Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99% perspiration, which is why engineers sometimes smell really bad.

I spent a number of years there. It was hell.

Contest: come up with a suitable motivational caption for this follow up image:

[DVINNY]

"well, it's not a monkey, but......."

"That Chili has my ass on FIRE"

"You should see what happens when I piss"

[DVINNY]

Oh.... a MOTIVATIONAL caption... OK

ORGANIZATION
You figure out who's in charge, when you're the guy in the hot seat (or with the hot seat)

RECOGNITION

Never be afraid to blow your own horn because nobody else is going to carry the torch for you.

On a side note: I hope the guy in the pic didn't end up like ....

JR

[Dleg]

Excellent submissions so far...


^^ That guy's from the Guam Hash and his nickname is "Spazz", so I probably don't even have to tell you that he routinely ends up like that.

That was just one of many ass-launchings that night, too. Note that in the first picture he has a big-ass rocket in his butt, and in this one it's a Roman Candle. I would guess that the ass rocket hurts the most.

My submission:

SUCCESS

Comes from deep within

That's why I'm glad I didn't check out EB.com until the week after I took the exam...

[frazil]

^ME too!!!

[maryannette]

^^ Me, too. It would take much discipline not to be on EB.com. But, for those who are supposed to be studying, don't get trapped.

[VTEnviro]

EB.com didn't exist until the week after I took my exam.

[FusionWhite]

EB.com didn't exist until the week after I took my exam.

Well arent you just the hottest shit around. J/K.

I will say EB.com helped me tremendously in passing the FE. I was a nervous wreck and being able to hear from other engineers who have gone through it was priceless in keeping my confidence up.

Ut oh ... someone is not satisfied with the level of customer care Uncle Sam is handing out ....

^^^ Actually I have had my battles with Tricare from my active duty + active reserve duty days. I was discharged from active duty to reserve with an ongoing medical ailment. I was told that when I reached my reserve duty station that I would receive follow-up care. Guess what happened? Yeah .. you know it. So there I was some schmoe that was unable to work either my reserve duty or a regular job because of a serious, debilitating medical ailment.

I contacted my senators office - Bob Graham at the time. He initiated a congressional investigation and not only got me the medical care that I needed but also provided me with backpay as if I were active duty during my convalescent leave at my next higher pay grade because I missed my promotion while on sick leave.

I know there are people who fall in between the cracks when it comes to medical care - I was one of those poor souls. It is easy to point to a beauracratic system and say that it is uncompassionate or so inflexible as to help those with need, but I have also been on the receiving end when things were made right so I have no complaints.

I still have complications from time-to-time because of those medical problems, but I don't blame anyone or anything but genetics and the random course of events that lead to those problems. Uncle Sam and Tricare finally did right by me - in the end that is all you can really expect.

I think we usually just hear about the things that go wrong, not the things that go right. Tricare is a large bureaucracy but I think it does a good job of resolving most "slips through the crack". I've had the occasional problem, but nothing that wasn't resolved quickly.

I do have a strange story, though. My wife was having surgery at a Naval Hospital to remove nose polyps - the procedure required general anesthesia and a special device that somehow chopped up the polyps into tiny bits that were then sucked them out. The surgery was supposed to last about three hours. After thirty minutes, the surgeon came out looking for me. He said they had a problem with this special device - it wasn't working and despite their best attempts to use the operator's manual, they couldn't fix it. So *I* had a decision to make. Did I want the doctor to just rip out the polyps with forceps (I guess this is the way they used to do it) or stop the surgery and try another day. I just stared at the Doctor for a few seconds and then asked how in the hell I was supposed to make such a decision without more information. The stall tactic worked! Out came some OR tech yelling "we fixed it, we fixed it!" Decision averted, and the surgery went fine after that. But I always wondered if they just forgot to plug the damn thing in.

I love the Che poster. But I don't get the "Goatse" one.

[Road Guy]

google it (but not from work, or in front of your kids)

[Capt Worley PE]

Ron Jeremy was even shocked by goatse.

[VTEnviro]

The only one that even comes close to that is fingerslam. Tubgirl and meatspin are pretty bad but nothing approaches goatse.

[VTEnviro]

Check out the description on wikipedia if you want to get a better idea of it.

Thank you for the wikipedia hint. I am glad I went there first.

Boy, do I feel out of touch. It sounds like this is pretty well known.
