Not to make light of the tragic events in NYC today where a giant construction crane fell and mashed a small apartment building, hurting and killing people. But, does anyone else see the irony in what happened here, as far as the name of the building?

Lance, you're not kidding ? That wasn't photoshopped?

Not that I know of. I took it directly from the Fox News web site.

OK, I know I am old and slow, but would someone tell me what FUBAR stands for? I have wondered about that word ever since I heard it being used in a Tom Hanks war movie. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Rich, it's an old military acronym for
F***ED UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION

Thanks Mr. Higgins. I guess that means it ain't very nice when Leonard uses that word and your name in very same sentence? ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
I had better stop using the word "fubar" in church too.

...... or, beyond all repair. At least that's what it meant in the Military aerospace industry.

Whichever you choose to use, it pretty much suits that building now, huh? Talk about a coincidence!

But what a cool name for a Bar, huh. Just imagine if that crane had fallen tomorrow! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Rich, I just felt compelled to perform a Paul Harvey service for you. For years people around you have talked about someone you thought was a Russian idiot named Fubarich. And now you know the rest of the story.

I don't have much to add to this conversation beyond this odd road sign found South of Tucson, AZ.
