  1. You can’t see into my soulful eyes though
  2. Great afternoon
  3. I didn’t want you to know I was out of work.
  4. Where'd you get that tenement on wheels?
  5. Clark and Eddie's interactions are always the funniest shit to me. In the earlier movies, there's a sense of genuine concern on Clark's part that eventually morphs into the deadpanned, muted hatred you see in Christmas Vacation. And it all just bounces right off Eddie.
  6. It looks like Jerry World fucked the Vikings stadium and had a baby. Which given KC being the midpoint between those cities on I-35 is kinda fitting.
  7. I'm not trying to be a dick, but just look at a map. Iowa's largest metro is an hour closer to KC than it is to anywhere else with pro sports. I live up on the Minnesota border, and not far from Wisconsin either. Vikes and Pack are basically tied for local favorite team, with Bears and Chiefs tied for 2nd. If you get closer to Chicago, you see more Bears, and closer to KC you see more Chiefs. The recent success has lead to a lot of young kids statewide being Chiefs fans. When I was growing up they were #4 in my school, despite being closer than the Green Bay or Chicago.
  8. Getting rid of Arrowhead (and Soldier Field for that matter) for some indoor stadium where they can have boat shows in January sucks.
  9. Some Sunday night Cyclone hoops suds
  10. Learning about Rock Em Sock ‘Em Robots

    It reminds me of someone that I absolutely cannot place. I've watched some clips of them live, and it just intrigues what they're doing. Nothing about it should work, but it definitely does. For me.

    Viagra Boys are great. I didn't get super into this record. Need to give it a few more times. One of my buddies turned me onto them, and if we're hanging out it's not uncommon for someone to puncture a moment of silence with "WEINER DOGS".

    1. "Price of Admission" Turnpike Troubadours. Some of their finest songwriting to date. My favorite band of my generation just keeps slaying. 2. "Bleeds" Wednesday. I love everything about this band/extended scene. "Pick Up That Knife" is my song of the year. 3. "Big Ugly" Fust. Part of the Asheville scene as well. One of the most straight up "alt country" albums in a minute. 4. "Snocaps" Snocaps. Basically a Waxahatchee record. Which is awesome for me. 5. "Getting Killed" Geese. A fucked up train wreck with inexplicable hooks. Like the best indie stuff of the past few years, I feel like it's chasing Ditch-era Neil Young. In particular "Vampire Blues". 6. "Black Dog & The Wandering Boy" James McMurtry. Took me awhile to accept this wasn't quite Horses & the Hounds level, but there are some incredible songs here. 7. "Little Crosses" Joe Stamm Band. These dudes just keep doing excellent heartland rock. 8. "Bad Reputation" Lance Roark. Turnpike's understudy with a batch of impossibly catchy, well, heartland rock. 9. "Corn Queen" Hailey Whitters. Stupid catchy country that's just polished enough to get radio play, but the songwriting is so far beyond anything else on the radio. She writes about the rural Midwest as well as anyone. 10. "Snipe Hunter" Tyler Childers. I don't think it's his masterpiece, but it is undeniably the most fun record he's ever put out. If you can't jam "Eatin' Big Time" or "Bitin' List", we can't be friends.
  14. I'd believe every one north of OK State. UH at 81% is some serious fucking comedy though.
  15. I can't stand Creed and Hoobastank at all in any kind of setting. But Buckcherry was way more directly influenced by the Stones, Guns N Roses, etc. They were all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll and not thinking you were God.
  16. Normally a Joel fan, but fuck everything he just said.
  17. Donated it to the local food bank. Also, you say it like there was another beer option available.
  18. I judged a chili competition for our local snowmobile festival a couple years back, and that was interesting. Some of the best chili I’ve ever had (one used harissa - seriously) and then there was a guy who dumped hamburger into a pot of boiled whole tomatoes. Just beyond disgusting
  19. Ground venison, beef stew meat browned in the Dutch oven. Sautéed japs, habaneros, poblanos, Carmens, shallots, 2 yellow onions, and a head of garlic. Can of Hamm’s. Quart of canned tomato puree with chili powder and cumin. Simmering on the stove until noon, resting in the fridge overnight, and hitting the smoker at 5AM before going into local watering hole’s chili cook off
