On That Note - Clap For the Wolfman

This week's On That Note will be songs with hand claps.

We take turns hosting, do @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and I. This is my turn. Any song with handclapping as a part of the musical make-up are fair game. For purposes of this thread live concert songs with audience clapping is verboten.

Last week's very successful topic was songs with city names in the title - it can be found here https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-city-to-city.251010/.


For my kickoffs I offer:

Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

Hello all,

I have been following the site for a few years and decided to make an account to pick your brains. I have seen a bunch of posters call others out for not putting threads in the correct forum, so I put this in off-topic.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what kind of smoker to get for a first time user? I love the taste of smoked meat and wanted to purchase one and give it a shot. From what I have seen online a good one for a beginner is a Weber Smokey Mountain 18'. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

Annoying Nebraska Tweets

I follow C-dub, Randy Peterson, and Travis Hines on Twitter and since this weekend I've been getting inundated with Nebraska tweets because it says those 3 follow a bunch of Nebraska numbnuts. I've had to mute a crap-ton of Husker dorks because of this.

Anybody else have this problem? Is there a better way to keep them from showing up besides muting? It's freaking annoying and I don't know why it just started happening.

Sturgill Simpson "Sound and Fury" Album

Anyone else digging this? Sturgill is the most diverse artist (musically) out there today. It is a great rock album. Lyrically he can put them together with the best of them. He did have a quote once that was something along the line of "No matter what I put it out it will be country because of my voice." I think he is pretty wrong, because this is far from country, but man, that raspy drawl still makes it closer than I think he wanted.

Underground Dog Fence?

Got a new pup (7 months) and am thinking hard about getting some kind of dog fence to keep him in the yard. Wondering if anyone out there has used any of the local companies (Dog Guard/Invisible Fence) or put a system in themselves? Pro's/Con's?

Also, has anyone used the wifi systems and have you had any luck with them?

Posts of the Month: September 2019

Roundup of some notable quips and comments, September 2019. I missed some large chunks of CF time throughout the month, so this one’s even more thin than usual. Anything major you’ve seen that isn’t included, add if you wish.

Some entries are edited for clarity or brevity.

From “College GameDay” thread
@Messi: Guy with a megaphone and signs about religion ranted for hours before kickoff … Pretty annoying, since this is right by our tailgate.
@Cyched: I laughed when I heard him say the end is near. By the 4th quarter, I was thinking he was on to something...

From “Who Will Be the Guest Picker?”
@AuH2O: There are four facts about Tom Arnold in this thread. The least negative one is, he’s a coke addict.

@180class: Who the f*** is Post Malone?
@dcyme1183: I think it's how they referred to “Cheers” after Sam sold the bar to go sailing.

From “Based on CF Posts, ULM attendance predictions”

@dosry5: My son and I’ll be there. We’ll be the ones in the Iowa State hats.

@throwittoblythe: These folks will yell "Put in TIller!" and "Come on Rhodes!"
@cyclonespiker33: They’re going to spell Rhoads’ name wrong while yelling? Impressive.
@throwittoblythe: Yes. They are THAT stupid.

@cmjh10: 8675309

From “Willie Harvey signed by Browns”
@JM4CY: Willie Willie Willie won’t.... go home.
@Acylum: Cuz you can't push Willie 'round. (Seriously, you can't.)

From “College Football Survivor Week 4”
@ImJustKCClone: I'm more than a little annoyed with the Cavalier attitude being shown by Virginia right now...

From “Brock Purdy Breaks School Record…”
“Brock Purdy is the 1st player in Big 12 history with 400 Pass YDS, 3 Pass TD and 3 Rush TD in the same game.”
@cycloneeric: Is that good?

@spitfyr36: Ohio State kid scored 6 tds in one quarter. Purdy needs to step his game up.
@demoncore1031: Ohio State can lick my vag.

From “Friday OT: A Real Slap In The Face
@Angie: WhenI was flipping through channels, I was shocked when a new episode of "Big Brother" came up. I didn't know that show was still going. Is there anything like that where you had no idea it was still a thing? Like, "Oh, they still make Corn Pops?! I'll be damned!" types of moments.
@LindenCy: It's sad “Big Brother” is still going. However, now I want some Corn Pops.

From “This Kid is a Sophomore?”
@CYCLNST8: Purdy 3:16 says, “I just pump-faked your ass!”

@Peter: I wonder if most punters are atheists.
