  1. That’s her grandpa’s old ISU hat circa ‘77 or so. Shrunk to toddler size after decades of washing and drying.
  2. Midday Shenanigans (session IPA) - Titonka Brewing Co, Titonka IA pop. 511
  3. I remember seeing that and not even realizing that they played at the same time, and probably have beef going back decades. And I'm sure both of those men, paragons of sobriety and sound judgment, were of sound mind whilst on Bourbon Street.
  4. Hey now, I grew up cleaning out open-fronted unheated hog barns with an open cab Bobcat 863 that had the roof sawed off to fit inside the barn.
  5. We're spoiled with these heated skids.
  6. Yeah, I'm pretty excited for this one as well. Weathervanes completely changed the way I felt about his career's direction. In hindsight it seems pretty obvious that was his "divorce" album. However he seems to be mining some dark shit here in the title track. I haven't fully figured it out, but between the mood and a few of the couplets that stuck in my head, it seems fairly fucked up in the right ways.
  7. 15-20 MPH here - nothing crazy by our standards. But we're supposed to get a few inches of fluffy snow, so it might be a bit of a headache. I'm sure I'll have to go move snow at the farm in the AM.
  8. It's not so bad without the wind.
  9. Every artist I love plays the upper Midwest between April 15 and May 15, or from September 20 through November 15. Like absolute god damn clockwork. No June. No January. Fuck you, Al. Fuck. You.
  10. Well, the coach has been just so god damn loveable this season, I can't see why not!
  11. I know a few people who got really into Mac Miller but it's just not for me at all. From my casual observation he connected much more to mid-pack Millenials ('88-'95 born) than elder Millenials like myself.
  12. In Utero slams. Rape Me is peak Nirvana. All Apologies is the ultimate sign off. Album fucking rules.
  13. KSU has turned into a wagon the past 10 days. Getting Momcilovic back was everything for us.
  14. Same owners as Igor’s. We stopped there before having lunch across the street, and really enjoyed it. The bartender was great, and a regular came in with his dog and my wife goes nuts (in a positive way) when she sees a dog in a bar.
  15. I think Shannon Hoon would have done some incredible 70's inspired shit. He was well on his way. I fuckin' hate AI, but if it gave us Bon Scott on "Back in Black", I might forgive it.
  16. Was the homeless guy sitting in the middle of St Charles out front of Igor's talking to himself?
  17. Tech is turning into a wagon. That W in Lubbock is going to look great in March.
  18. Well of course. None of them are getting Big 10 or SEC invites, and the ACC is a lateral move at the absolute best, and more realistically a step back. If the Big 10 or SEC are going to add any more schools, those schools are coming from the current ACC (or Notre Dame obvs). I'm not even sure there's incentive for them to do that as they already have total control of the sport and any school will need to make their contracts more valuable. Now, if they cut out some of the dead weight schools and brought in FSU/Clemson/UNC/Miami they could probably do that. But I'm starting to think that just adding any of those ACC schools to the existing group won't make sense financially. If the ACC loses schools to the Big 10 and SEC, it seems obvious to me that the remaining schools would be much better off to merge with the Big 12 in a 3rd leftovers league that will have enough juice to demand some level of inclusion in the football post-season, as opposed to promoting current G5s and falling undeniably behind the current Big 12.
  19. Shit man, good call. I haven't watched that in years. I have it on DVD somewhere. Need to dust it off, but that movie absolutely blew me away in the theatres.
  20. Yeah, my mom did the same. My recollection is that they actually tasted the exact same, so on that front I guess it worked? I'd be curious how many fewer (if any) calories those things had. And yes, I fucking found out. I made it to the toilet, but I found out.
  21. Gentlemen, I present to you Peak Surly.
