The Insider Information Weekly Mailbag - Questions Submission

[Sigmapolis]

So I brought my daughter to ISU this last weekend. She visited a friend, went to the football game and stayed overnight. She really enjoyed herself and said that she appreciated that there seemed to be more "normal" people at ISU than at her current college. I think this is meant to be a compliment but I always considered myself and my friends to be pretty weird during college. Does this mean weird is the new normal or are college students now normal instead of weird?

Iowa State is one of the squarest major universities in the country.

Yes. KC also sent me a separate pm with more detail. I already have a short list of potential suspects.

First game I've been to in about 10 years and KC's car gets broken into. I sure hope it's just a coincidence. I thought it was somebody else's car that I broke into.

Since you too are known for your fashionable upscale clothing and creative beer bongs, I have a question about the Greek system.

Why do some of the houses pronounce the letter Phi as Fee and some pronounce it as Fie?

Because "fo" and "fum" were already taken?

Nah. That handsome stud on my Facebook page isn't actually me.

Good point.

Is it a coincidence that KC failed to give my tailgate (protection) money to watch her car this week and it ended up getting broken into?

Seriously, someone probably confused that little thing with a porta-potty in their drunken stupor. They probably realized their mistake when they found that there were actually paper products left in it. Even a stumbling drunk knows that never happens in the tailgating lots.

Whar @VegasCy ?

 

[mdk2isu]

Whar @VegasCy ?

I’m gonna guess in Vegas, so maybe he didn’t square up from his beats this past weekend and took another beating he hasn’t recovered from?

Makes me think of some Vegas related questions:
What is the best casino on the strip?
What is the best movie that involves Vegas?
What’s the best game to play in Vegas?

 

[GTO]

Last 45 minutes to get your questions in for this week!

 

[cychhosis]

Are beaver pelts acceptable substitutes for eye brows?

Why do I hurt all over? Growing up sucks.

 

[cyclones500]

Would you rather:

1. Never have to eat?
2. Never have to sleep?
You would have the freedom to do each whenever you wish, but wouldn’t be required to function/survive.

 

[GTO]

I'm throwing one last question into the mix - rank the following infomercial pitchmen from best to worst:
-Ron Popeil

-Vince Offer (Shamwow, SlapChop)
-George Foreman
-Jay Kordich (The Juiceman)
-Matthew Lesko (Riddler Suit guy)
-Phil Swift (Flex Seal)

Hell your still young, it only gets more "challenging" after you get older.
