Henry, don't put yourself on 'asskissers level. He is most often not worthy
of reading, let alone relying to.

The NG members know where 'asskisser stands on the food chain......lower
than squid **** on the bottom of the deepest section of the ocean.

Don't let him get you caught up in his idiotic posts....it is not worth the
time. ;-)


Heehee!! I love it! You post some purely ignorant crap like THAT, then
close by using the words "idiotic posts"!!!!!!! Talk about the pot
calling the kettle black!!!!!!


Do you fill your pumpkins with warm water before you use em'?


Again, purely idiotic.

Basskisser,

Do you know how to read? The very first sentence in your definition is:

"Whiskey is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made from grain or malt."

Schnapps is not barrel-aged, and by your own definition is not a Whiskey.


You dumb **** it CONTAINS whiskey......
are you going to comment on the REST of the definitions?

We will ignore the fact that the vast majority of Schnapps is made from
potatoes. While you can use grain alcohol instead, it still does not
qualify as a whiskey, because it is not barrel aged.

Keep up the good work, your record is still intact, wrong again.

PS It does seem like you learn a lot from Harry, I see you even copy his
technique of using sock puppets and having conversations with yourself.

You forgot to look up the definition of schnapps.


No, I didn't. Please see below. If you have any more questions, please
feel free to ask. No question is too stupid!

From this site:

http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/...iskeymore.html

What is whiskey?
Whiskey is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made from grain or malt. It
differs from other types of grain alcohol in that it absorbs colour
and flavour from the barrels during aging,
it retains more flavour from the fermented mash by being distilled at
a lower proof
and being less thoroughly filtered. As a result, it is much more
flavoursome than vodka. Unlike gin and akvavit, it doesn't have other
flavourings added.

And from this website:
http://www.webtender.com/db/ingred/125

Schnapps
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

------

Generic name for a flavorful alcoholic beverage made from grain or
potato spirits, and flavored with various herbs or fruits. Schnapps
can range from sweet, like a liqueur, to dry as an infused vodka.

Denmark and Germany produce the majority of schnapps

Did you ever design a Holiday Inn in Kansas or a bridge in Washington State?


Just to show that you don't have a damned clue what you are talking
about, the Holiday Inn balcony that collapsed wasn't the fault of the
engineers of record. It was a construction change.

While the collapse at the Hyatt was caused by a design change that violated
building codes, an engineering firm *did* stamp the changed plans.

From Engineering.com:

"Due to evidence supplied at the Hearings, a number of principals involved
lost their engineering licenses, a number of firms went bankrupt, and many
expensive legal suits were settled out of court. In November, 1984, Duncan,
Gillum, and G.C.E. International, Inc. were found guilty of gross
negligence, misconduct, and unprofessional conduct in the practice of
engineering. Subsequently, Duncan and Gillum lost their licenses to practice
engineering in the State of Missouri (and later, Texas), and G.C.E. had its
certificate of authority as an engineering firm revoked."

Has BassK ever made a post here that was not incorrect?

I loved it when he published link and quotes to prove his point, and they
state the exact opposite of what he is argument.

Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, there, stupid person, BUT, Duncan and
Gillum were NOT the principal DESIGN engineers. They were acting as
owner's representitives. You see, on large scale projects, the design
engineer usually does not act as owner's rep., unless it is a
design-build project.

BassK,
When the engineers approved the changes, they approved a new design and were
acting in their capacity as an engineer.

Yes! Thank you for agreeing. When the owner's representitives approved
the changes, they certainly did take responsibility. NOT the DESIGN
engineers. Two completely different entities. One works directly for
the owner, the other is part of the design team. Unless the project is
design-build, and it was NOT.

I guess you did work on those designs, did you get your wrist slapped for

Who cares who they worked for, they (were) engineers.
You tried to imply that it was contractor mistake, and not an engineering
problem.
You are wrong again. Engineers approved the illegal change to design and
many people died as a result.

Had those engineers done their job, nobody would have died.

Joe,
Please stop trying to have a logical discussion with BassK, it doesn't work,
and it is much more fun just mess with him. ; ) Have you noticed that Don
and Bass sound similar, I think he is Bass's brother who went AWOL because
he was too smart for the army.

You're an idiot, plain and simple. You don't understand the workings
of a project of that scope any more than you understand simple
English. Again, here's a hint: it was NOT a design-build project.
There are PLENTY of references, just google them up. Be open minded,
and not just look for something that makes your point, but read the
facts, be educated, you'll soon see. Now a question for you. Did you
or did you not say that you had me blocked in your news reader? What
happened, JoeTechnician?
