Happy holidays!
My quarterly mini-roundup of notable comments and quips from Cyclone Fanatic, September-December 2022. Merely a sample of amusements I encountered and documented. If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, add to thread.
Due to some personal stuff happening within the past month 'er so, I’ve been lazier than usual for compiling.
Some entries have been edited for clarity, brevity, spelling or whatnots.
KEY:
Bold is thread title (or summary of it) ... "***" indicates a break in narrative flow.
***Iowa State vs. Kansas Game Day Thread***
@bosco: If you hit the goal post twice in the same game, you should get 2 points. Because that's a lot harder to do than actually making a FG.
Time to fire Myers, Manning
@DSMCy: Not many teams have an SP coach who coaches only SP.
@Acylum: I’ll bite. What does “SP” refer to?
@JM4CY: Short Passes coach.
Paul Chryst fired
(Nominated by @CycloneRulzzz)
@simply1: $16 million buyout.
@cycloner29: Jesus Chryst!!
Holiday movie hot takes (Bumped from 2021):
@Jeremy: (“A Christmas Story”) is the absolute worst movie in the history of cinema. Don't know what it is, but I have an unexplainable, almost violent, deep-down hatred for that movie. Same for “Sandlot.”
@Bipolarcy: You are deeply flawed.
Jeremy: Wait until you hear about my visceral hatred for “Groundhog Day.”
cyclones500: OK ...
that's where I draw the line in the snow.
***
@Gonzo: “Love Actually” has emerged as my favorite Christmas movie … I'd probably lean toward Natalie as my favorite, because she's smoking hot.
@Mr Janny: Add another like for Natalie. She was super-fine in that movie.
@Angie: I like that you all are not naming Hugh Grant, one of the biggest actors of the ‘90s, but remember the chick with the nice ass.
RIP Angela Lansbury
@madguy30: She was like my TV Grandma, except for the solving murders thing.
Are you middle-aged and missed Warped Tour?
@CyCrazy: Lol, Blink-182 being a headliner. 2000 to 2010 music sucked. And yes, I am 40.
@JP4CY: What’s your age again?
***
@Clonefan32: I'm in, but I'm going to need some time to procure a '97 Blazer, a CD burner and a Limewire account …
@BillBrasky4Cy: ’97 Blazer? Tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich.
Artists Annoying The Piss Out of You
@carvers4math: Is Madonna even relevant? Cracks me up that she, Michael Jackson and my husband, who keeps getting Medicare enrollment stuff in the mail, all were born in the same year.
ESPN, Fox open discussions for next Big 12 deal
@CycloneDaddy: If ISU gets $60+ mil a year, I’m streaking The Quad!
@jcyclonee: Let’s be honest. You’re streaking The Quad regardless.
Coach Campbell Would Be Wise to Spend Some Time With Special Teams
@Newell: Just keep the defense on the field and line up like they would expecting OU to try to score a touchdown. Could have driven a Farmall Super M pulling an 8-bottom plow through that hole.
Friday OT: Pig’s Blood
@coolerifyoudid: My friends and I won the school lip-sync contest. First prize was nothing. It's been downhill ever since.
Friday OT: Like Will Smith Pre-Slap
@Angie: Thanks to
@mj4cy for this topic!
What is something/someone that you think is as most universally liked as possible?
@clonedude: Switzerland … who hates Switzerland?
@khardbored: Some people like Switzerland, and some people don't. One thing is for sure: Its flag is a big plus.
Powerball … When You Win It
@FallOf81: How are you going to spend it?
@Gunnerclone: I’m going to buy CF for like 4 times what it’s worth, then institute a ridiculous verification process and scare off all the advertisers.
***
@isufbcurt: I’m going to give my employer a piece of my mind, slam the office door and storm out into the living room.
Poll: How do you normally browse CF?
@snowcraig2.0: Where is the “Drunk” option?
Thanksgiving Power Rankings
@Angie: Why do they take something as glorious as pie and put straight crap in it?
Report: Otzelberger headed for Iowa State (Bump of old thread, following win over UNC)
@CycloneErik (responding to his initial post): "Don't need to waste time with this sport anymore, I guess." Oh, yeah ... I nailed this one.
***
@cycloneworld: Turns out … fit is REALLY important.
@MLawrence: You talking about TJ’s shirts?
***Iowa State vs. TCU game day thread***
@HouClone: Time for Becht?
@Spam: Time for Jack Daniels.
Official North Dakota vs. #23 Iowa State Game Day Thread
@FerShizzle: Thank god for the shot-making ability of Robert Jones.
@CycloneVet: Things you never thought you’d say this year.
Big 12 Championship: TCU vs. K-State
@KnappShack: Froghorns by 10. Still somehow skipped over by Ohio State and misses the playoff.
@madguy30: Too many data points this time.
Socks for Christmas
@Cyinthenorth: I end up with socks because I suck at telling people what I want for Christmas.
@cowgirl836: Oh hi, didn't realize my husband was on here.
Friday OT: It’s Gonna Be Ye
@MeanDean: Does the entire cast of “The View” count as one or do I need to list them individually?
@jcyclonee: You need to list them individually.
(MeanDean posts link to IMDb cast overview)
jcyclonee: This is cheating. Please type their names individually.
MeanDean: Since you said "please” … No, thank you.
I hesitate to post this article
@surly:
What it shows is that Ames and Manhattan are more alike than our land grant detractors would like to admit, both fast growing (etc.)
@ImJustKCClone: I've lived in both. I prefer Iowa...and Ames. And yeah, you should have hesitated longer.
Friday OT: Tattoo You
@Angie: What tattoos do you have? What is their meaning?
@MeanDean: I have a Rolling Stones album.
NCAA Rules You’d Change
@SEIOWA CLONE:
(regarding targeting) Intentional or trying to plant a guy that could have been avoided, 15 years and the player is down for the rest of the game.
@VeloClone: 15 years? I think sending a guy to prison is a bit extreme ...
It’s So Cold …
@dahliaclone: It’s so cold, I contracted gonorrhea just for the burning sensation.
KU FB
@Die4Cy: The theme of ISU football for 100 years is that when opportunity knocks, we go to open the wrong door.
