  1. Making homemade marinara and grilling at friend’s place. Hot dog off the grill topped with marinara, hamburger queso, and dill relish
  2. Those peppers created a sensation I've never been able to match.
  3. When my wife and I had just started dating, I went to visit her for the weekend and cooked breakfast for her and her roomates. I like to throw jalapenos into my hashbrowns, so obviously I was handling the jalapenos. Several hours later, we were having a little alone time, and the same hand that held the jalapeno ended up encountering some lady bits. Within seconds my wife goes "what the fuck? Did you wash your hands after cooking?" I stare blankly, but by then it was too late. She was running for the shower and literally hosed her crotch down with the detached shower head. I'm not sure how I survived that moment, but I did.
  4. There was a Pac 2 flag flying next to it last weekend.
  5. This is absolutely how it worked in my family. I learned far more about my heritage from my grandparents on either side than I did either of my parents, who were both super busy working while my time was mostly spent as either a latchkey kid or farm employee when not in school. Haven't finished it up yet, but will soon. Even though I can't relate to the Native experience, there's a lot in the show that any who grew up in the rural mid-part of this country can heavily identify with.
  6. Yeah, that would work too. Also, I think the "to tell you 'no'" morphs in meaning over the song. Early on it's about telling someone "no" to their bad habits, and by the end of the song it's about trying to stop the final act of self destruction.
  7. What the other two said. It's the stains and the promise to keep a secret. I think the train is a metaphor for the sound of the gun shot.
  8. The nation has caught on to the combo of bad play and intensity that is El Assico. Sometimes I wish we played it at the end of the year because Campbell teams generally get better as the season progresses, but at the same time we get a hell of lot more attention playing it in Week 2 when the other games suck and everyone has hope.
  9. Same. I'm also a white guy, which doesn't hurt either.
  10. Counter point: decades ago, that "serve and protect" instinct was much more common in America's police force in general.
  11. “And I wish that the Enquirer’d spread a rumor I’s gay” RIP. A fucking icon.
  12. Our campus is gorgeous. Ames is the quintessential Midwest college town. That means it’s not gonna be a real city like Austin, but it has that vibe of everything revolving around the college. I love it, but I get that it ain’t for everyone. It’s a tad insular, and lacks big city amenities, but I’ll be damned if it don’t have a lotta heart.
  13. Fuck it, I’m proud. No CR https://x.com/kevinmkruse/status/1700650077998485586?s=46
  14. When it comes to football and politics I can’t argue.
  15. Yup. Farmageddon is the only cheeky name that real media acknowledges. Its also frequently as ridiculous on the field as El Assico too.
  16. Jack Trice Stadium. Iowa -3.5. Why do you watch? You watch for punts. You watch for fumbles. You watch for senseless penalties. You watch for unforced mental lapses. You watch for football to hit new depths of shit. You watch for hate. You watch for b-roll footage of farm equipment. Go Clones.
  17. Holy fucking shit, I hope they do this.
  18. I've listened to that song a bunch and never really figured it all out until I just read the lyrics. I'd always took it as a couple of older folks fooling around (kind of a theme on that album) and the man trying to keep his distance, but I never grasped that she commits suicide.
  19. 100%. It dropped the day before my daughter was born, and it will always connect me to that place in time. And apply the sentiment of the chorus to her.
  20. I'm not a big sweet/savory guy, but the braunschweiger/bacon combo sounds next level good.
