  1. https://7collection.com/products/good-day-for-a-slurpee®-can-cooler Unfortunately not sized for your tallboy cans but if you need something like your koozie in your original post 7-11 has got you covered.
  2. @Al_4_ISU A few weeks after the fact, but RAGBRAI was overall a great ride. I apologize for bringing the heat with me from south Texas up to Iowa during the week of the ride. I probably will not make it a yearly thing but will definitely look into doing it again in a few years. I managed to do the following on the ride, which I assume are standard Iowa and RAGBRAI practices: a) take a leak in a corn field b) shower in a car wash c) drink a Busch Light out of a corn-themed can while showering in a car wash d) consume more pork in a week than in the previous 3 months combined (I just don't eat a lot of pork these days for whatever reason) e) get ticketed by the Iowa State Patrol in either Tama or Toledo for riding my bike at night with no lights (seriously, couldn't get a warning? Also, had some of the blandest Mexican food I have ever had in my life in Tama/Toledo. Y'all need to get some jalapeno plants up there stat.) f) sleep in the parking lot of a chicken processing plant in Storm Lake Probably a few other standard Iowa/RAGBRAI things I did that I am forgetting. Got to say that some of the best ice cream I have ever had was from the Beekman's trailer. The only concert I went to was The Pork Tornados. Only because of the name. No way was I passing up seeing a band called The Pork Tornados. Fun cover band. Really enjoyed going through all of the small towns and seeing seemingly everyone turn out to show support and/or separate us from our cash. I was pleasantly surprised by the high number of milfs I saw when rolling through Ankeny. It sure seemed like the route hit every hill in Iowa. I had it in my mind that Iowa was a little flatter than that. All in all I am definitely glad I did the ride.
  3. I don't know if this song fits in this thread exactly but I really like it for some reason. Maybe it is simply the presence of Natasha Bedingfield in the video.
  4. Atlas Obscura might have some ideas on places to visit that would interest you.
  5. Headed to the area here in a few weeks. Any updates to the recommendations in this thread? Cannot wait to get up there.
  6. I think you can credit/blame Se Ri Pak for that. This generation of female Korean golfers is a direct result of her dominance of the LPGA at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s. Plus South Korea, like a lot of other countries in Europe and Asia, has a strong and well-established national program for elite junior golfers. From Wikipedia, so you know it is true:
  7. How about these bagpipe players? Would having them show up at your funeral be something in which you might be interested?
  8. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Bobby Bonilla Day today.
  9. Today I learned that [Door Flies Open] is a thing.
  10. I really enjoyed Kissing Suzy Kolber back in the wild west days of the sports blogosphere.
  11. The Woozie Can Cooler Probably not exactly what you are looking for but it has the advantage of being able to keep your smoking necessities nearby as you sip your beverage.
  12. I think this may have posted somewhere else on Surly. Seems like the kind of thing you would find interesting. Colorado is not a rectangle - it has 697 sides
  13. I've never been to Massachusetts. Looks like a good way to see Cape Cod. I might look into doing the ride in the future.
  14. If it is the same company that is building the new harbor bridge then repairs will not be done until sometime around 2030.
  15. Did not see this posted anywhere else. Did a search but who the hell knows. Tangential to this thread but not sure if there is a better place to put it. Stephen F. Austin bowling assistant out after relationship with student athlete The head coach of the bowling team. Amber Lemke
  16. This thing claims to be compatible with 24/25 ounce cans and 22 ounce bomber so it might be worth a look on your part. BruMate Hopsulator Juggernaut
  17. Hoping for the baseball equivalent of Florida over LSU of this. Or just simply the equivalent of Florida over LSU of this.
  18. Have not watched any of the game. I presume LSU was up after the 2nd?
  19. Quick look at Wikipedia shows a 14-2 Rice win over Stanford in the 2003 championship series. Mississippi State had a 13-2 win over Vanderbilt in the 2021 final series. Minnesota had a 12-1 victory over Arizona in the 1956 final. The 2001 final had a 12-1 Miami win over Stanford. Some other 9 run victories scattered over the history of the baseball finals.
  20. Orca rams boat of Scottish coast 2000 miles away from original attacks Also, orca males are apparently a bunch of mama's boys. Orca males are burnouts who let their moms do all the hunting, surprising study finds
  21. When I used to make the trip on 59 between Houston and the coastal bend I stopped here many a time to avoid the crowds at the Wharton Buc-ee's or at Prasek's, especially when I was headed south on 59. Loved being able to pull in here, get gas if needed, take a piss, grab a chopped beef sandwich, and let the dogs out in the field next to the store while I ate my sandwich. I also would pick up a jar or two of their salsas from time to time. Great place that feels like a hidden gem right in plain sight.
