I'll tell ya what really burns my britches. It's disrespectful to the state, to the citizens, to the majestic bird, to the art of cooking in hot oil, aND to the man that traveled around the country showing people that his special blend of 27 herbs and spices was truly special. Long live the Colonel.

Bah humbug on KFC

LOL True that!

Want to see a customer's eyes glaze over, just toss around terms like: EPDM, CPE, PIB, SBS, APP, IRMA, PVC.

About 12 years ago, I was contemplating getting out of roofing and finish out my career doing something else. An architect friend of mine, suggested it would look good on my resume' to be certified as a LEED inspector.

I obtained a sample test and took it. Most of it was incredibly easy, you just had to have a basic knowledge of construction and use common sense to determine what used the least amount of energy in different scenarios. Plus, you could pass it with only getting 60% right. I got about 75% without any studying. But virtually everything I missed involved not knowing what various acronyms meant. There were about 8-10 that I would have needed to learn.

But a couple of big projects came through for me at that time, so I never pursued it and never had to brush up on energy-related acronyms.

For that matter.... what the hell is a CIAK?

Whatever you do, don't go to a BK and ask "WTB", coz they might point across the street at the red headed girl named Wendy. ;)

My first grandson will be born next Tuesday: Boone Kemp Adams.

I'm unamused that - in my bizarro little world of amputeedum - that stands for Below Knee Amputee.

Thank you for the correction. Wendy's is correct. My bad. The point was the phrase.It has become an all-purpose phrase questioning the substance of an idea. CIAK has many definitions. I have Sicilian relatives who could not pronounce my name " Chuck" from script. CIAK was the best we could do and works very well

CIAK. LOL. I knew that. I'd acrylic asked once before...I was just going with thread and having fun.

I always wondered what CIAK meant. I figured I'd wait for someone else to ask - it only took 4 years. :-)

Even though I have known CIAK meant Chuck, like ciao is pronounced chow, every time I read your name, my brain says See-ak.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was, too.

From here on out I want to be known as: Tehm. :-)
