    So whatever happened to the People for Eating of Tasty Animals? I miss that organization. Good cookouts.

    Favorite tailgating drink

    We use to do Blood Marys in the morning. Followed by beer of a lot of varieties. We use to sneak in botas of spiced rum into the games for rum and cokes during game. The only way we knew how to avoid hangovers by the end of the 3rd Quarter. Besides drinking that is.

    Favorite tailgating drink

    Bloody Mary recipe: Ice, Vodka to taste, pepper until you have a thin layer on the ice, a dash of Worchestershire sauce, Texas Redeye BM mix (Spicy), hot sauce to taste (you want Tobasco or the like so it is thin enough to mix into the drink. Top off with your preference of Olives, Dill Pickle...

    Fairwell Carlin

    I know it might seem passe to write about George Carlin now that he is dead. Especially when he was of the opinion that nothing happened after death except for worms crawling where thoughts us to run wild. I am going too miss Carlin not because he was one of the greatest in his craft. Not...

    Heading out east to Gettysburg, DC, etc.

    For going to Gettysburg I would highly recommend reading Killer Angels before going. It will be over the 4 year old's head and potentially boring for the 14 yr depending on her interest in history but it brings the battle fields to life. Depending on your preferences they have a strong...

    Absolutely Unbelievable

    This is unfortunate. I have resented these idiots since they protested at my graduation from ISU. It is hard to understand how these people can consider themselves religious. As far as the suing and freedom of speech, Criminals have always been willing to use the law to their advantage. No the...

    Beer.

    I greatly envy you. I will give you a suggestion if you are willing to do a bit of train ride while in Deutschland. There is a town called Oberstdorf in the German Alps. They have a brewery there called Zotlier. Beer is only put in Kegs and kegs never go farther than one day's truck ride. It is...

    CO2 Question

    So if the carbon offset programs that these "green" companies are pushing were to focus on efficiency of compensating for carbon created they should be focusing on Kelp farms verses buy rainforest acres or planting trees. I mean don't get me wrong I understand the trees are more photogenic. :jiggy:

    Beer.

    I know they have talked about Jim Koch's (Samuel Adams) family having times to Hudepohl. I know Sam Adams has used the old Hudepohl facilities for a number of years, but I have never drawn any ties between the two recipes as far as taste.

    Beer.

    I was also a fan of Caffrey's. Articles came out soon after they pulled out of their distributor in the US. I don't remember if it was Anheuser or Miller. Caffrey's was in arguements with the distributor over the handling of their beer. The distributor wasn't meeting their standards. Rather than...

    Beer.

    I am a fan of Yuengling and will often hit up my friends with Pittsburg ties to bring me back a case. I have to warn you though from experience and multiple stores heavy drinking or repeative drinking for a long period will mess with your digestive track.

    CO2 Question

    Okay so I have been thinking. All the commentary on global climate change that I have been hearing is talking about reducing green house gases C02, NO, and Methane. I am not going to say hey we should stop reducing those emissions. Scientific studies have been done showing that there is some...

    Who Else Can We Defeat?

    I think a couple of folks are a little optmist after an ISU win by field goals. Culbertson has been tagged (fairly and unfairly) the scape goat to many times in the past seasons to be considered a lock kicker. We are starting to see a glimpse of the teams we expected Chizik to create lets give...

    Fans? What the hell is wrong with people?

    I hope you are right. I know Chizik is playing the team he inherited. We have seen the potential to know that things can improve for this team. Great staffs take what they have and make something better out of them. We owe Chizik and the team a chance to show themselves. I hope your comment...
