Launching it a bit early this month, so I don't lag the way I did in May.

A few of my favorite comments, dialogue and zingers from CF, June 2019. Some are edited or condensed for clarity or brevity. I also have a bonus entry, doing it separately due to volume.

As usual, if you're aware of any good ones I missed, add to the stack.
From the thread “Posts of the Month: May 2019”
@Sigmapolis: First on the list! Suck, it, haters!
@dosry5: No, you suck it.

(Topic is from May, but comment posted in June)
From “Peterson: Fans Finally Starting To Accept That Fred Is Nebraska Coach”
@cycloneeric: I’m finally starting to accept that this is a thread.

From “Favorite Movies That Predate You”
by @Cyched: Which movies do you like that came out before you were born? If you’re an old fart, any classic movies will do.”
@CycloneErik: Two questions: 1. Define "predate." 2. Is it even possible for @ImJustKCClone to answer the original question?

Nominated by @CYCLNST8 (lost track of the thread title)
@Acylum: Teddy Atlas says this fight will set back physical fitness 100 years.

From “On That Note: For the Birds”
@ BoxsterCy: What, no “Disco Duck” yet?
cyclones500: Well, here’s your chance!
BoxsterCy: There are, surprisingly, some levels I can't bring myself to stoop to.
@jcyclonee: (posts “Disco Duck”) I’ll go there. I have no standards. Except I won't stoop to Anne Murray level. I guess I have some standards.

From “Essential Household Items”
@cycopath25: … The wife chastised me for asking her to pick up deodorant for me … She can't understand why I would want multiple back-up deodorants.
@Acylum: Sounds like you need a backup wifey.

From “Front Pocket Wallets” (started by @cycopath25)
@knowlesjam: Front… use double flip leather wallet and keep cards, pictures and $'s to a manageable number...wife helps with keeping the $ number low.
@chadly82: Are there any (wives) who aren’t good at that?
@cyhiphopp: Hell, my ex-wife is even still good at that.
@VeloClone: I used to have a stuffed wallet, but now have a thin one … I carry my stack in a money clip separately. It is pretty easy when my 'stack' is usually around $12.

From “Let’s start a new Hickory Park debate”
@imaclone2: Been going there for 40 years and ordering the same thing. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm predictable?
@andybernard: Better than Jacob Park.

From “Tyrus McGee dunk”
@Stewo: I do this all the time to my 5-year-old on the 4-foot Playskool hoop. Big deal.

From “Mid-Week Mailbag (6-19): THT and the Draft…”
@Fitzy: Welcome to NBA Draft week, where everything’s made-up and the Knicks don’t matter.

From “Boomers wondering what millennials have planned… ”
@mtowncyclone13: Fun fact: i've never actually seen avocado toast — only people talking about millennials eating avocado toast.

From “Would you take a non-lethal gunshot wound to the thigh…”
@FarmClone: Am I cool with it? I would do it to myself.
@harimad: Not my thigh, but the thigh of other CF posters, sure. Yes, they may be hurt, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
@MeanDean: No deal. I need to know the day/year so I can be sure to get good tickets. I have to BE THERE!
@jcyclonee: Is this a deal with the devil thing where we win a championship and I’m alive but in a vegetative state? I hate the devil.
@coolerifyoudid: I will gladly shoot several of you for a national championship. Hell, I'd pistol-whip a few of you for a Clone Cone.
@rochclone: I would take a single gunshot for football and multiple gunshots for men’s basketball.

From “U2 Concert 9-11-92 Identify Girl Pulled From Audience”
Easier to post the link, too many nuggets to differentiate … although I’ll include one as a starter:
@Cycsk: This may be the most "retired civil engineer" thing ever!

Subsection … listing separately, due to volume of nuggets.

From “Give Me Your Most Unpopular Take About Iowa State”
@weR138: As a Big 12 school, It's a bad look not to have baseball **ducks from flying Busch Light cans**

@intrepid27: There is no better song to suck the energy out of a stadium than “The Bells of Iowa State.” I want to shoot myself every time I hear it.
@Mr Janny response: Oh God, yes. You could play The Bells of Iowa State at the funeral of a war hero, and the soldier's grieving mother would be like, "Hey, let's not go overboard.”

@Doc: VEISHEA was just a bad version of Saturday.

@mj4cy: 1. Busch Light is disgusting. 2. Pete Taylor is a legend and a big reason I grew up a diehard fan, but I have to admit I liked the TV announcer's call of "The Run" slightly better than his radio version.
@CycloneVet response: You mother******.

@Mr Janny: There’s no such thing as a "wrestling tradition." Not on the collegiate level. Hanging your hat on past success in a niche sport is a quick way to let everyone know you don't have a lot going for you. It's like going to a strip club still wearing your work uniform from McDonald's.
@BCClone response: I have never seen a stripper in a McDonald’s uniform, but if she handed out cheeseburgers during her show, she probably would get a good crowd.

@Doc: I never understood how Hoiberg is that good looking. OK features and whatever, but damn you all are thirsty.
@jcyclonee: If you insult Matt Thomas' abs, you're in big trouble.

@cydsho: Our admiration for ISU being the college that "drinks the most" is a poor reflection on the school. Also, I love beer and tailgating.
