    Favorite movies many may not know about

    After Kids In The Hall and in the middle of his run on Newsradio, The Wrong Guy is a great showcase for Dave Foley's deadpan delivery as an actor and self-deprecating gags as a writer.

    2025 Iowa's Best Burger

    Burgers & Co in Spirit Lake, huh? I went there a few years back and, well, haven't been back. Maybe they've made some changes.

    Is anyone into Yacht Rock?

    What a great, if soul-crushing way to consider the vastness of music. I'm at an age where songs I was familiar with hit me in a completely different way as I gain experiences. Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here was a okay song most of my life, but as I'm learning to play it on guitar there are...

    Anyone: Are you into yacht rock? Me: Haha, NO! Me, alone: I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah...

    Another pedestrian bridge proposed near Jack Trice ..

    I agree it's a bigger issue with nothing but what I call 'suggestion lights' for the pedestrians crossing north to south once you're east of the bridge, but the sidewalk narrows considerably across the bridge and there's nothing but a 15" dropoff between you and cars there. The outside traffic...

    Dog with Full CCL Tear

    Had a lab/blue heeler mix tear up her knee around 9 years old too. She had a chest mass that made surgery a nonstarter. Never had a brace recommended but I'm not a knee ligament expert, so may not be apples to apples. She was able to adapt to one leg doing the majority of the work. Her days...

    Job Hunt

    We're all hoping the best for you. Takes some stones to do this publicly and take us all along for the ride. I'm considering a change after 18 years with my current company. It's a scary leap to put yourself out there. Excited to see your victory post in whatever form that takes.

    (Update: Bill Self?) The State.......of Oklahoma State basketball

    I've heard that at midnight the ghost of Eddie Sutton can be seen trying to scratch his name off the court.

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Falling To Pieces from The Real Thing is a total time capsule from when my interest in rock was expanding.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Totally right that there is an additional conversion loss going from one form of energy to another. Can't speak to this system specifically (and agree that seems like a big, complicated generator engine), but ideally you would have a small four cylinder that is naturally well balanced and...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    All makes sense. You could make the case that Toyota still doesn't have the foothold they would like since the the 2nd generation Tundra really took the fight to the Americans. I don't know how it remains viable at the levels Nissan is selling trucks. The first gen Titan was a good jumping...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    What do you like about the Nissans that others don't do better? Honestly curious. Nissan isn't a market leader anywhere anymore, but their trucks have seemed like a total afterthought on our shores. I can't think of a segment where there aren't multiple better options, which is a shame...

    Wait that’s that actress!

    How about Rob Reiner playing Jess' dad on New Girl? Bonus: he shows up dating Kaitlin Olson from Always Sunny. Over the top: he split up with Jess' mom played by Jamie Lee Curtis.

    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    Dammit! Not Brick City! El Jefe is a nice addition. Good atmosphere, great location and the food was quite good.

    DG coming home

    He was a lot of fun to watch develop. Good minutes as a freshman to a solid starter as a sophomore. Added a 3 point shot for his junior year then became a real scorer his senior year, which gave him his NBA shot. We've had better players, but his total improvement arc over 4 years is probably...

    I bet $500 moneyline for ISU to beat Miami.

    Then the backup plan is MAXIMUM STEVO KLOTZ!

    I bet $500 moneyline for ISU to beat Miami.

    Everyone has figured out that you just throw it to whoever Cooper is covering. That was the cheat code for the ASU passing game.

    I bet $500 moneyline for ISU to beat Miami.

    I'll start by saying I hope you are right and that bet pays. That should be obvious. Now, my concern is that Heacock punched above his weight all year and we already stole some victories. My gut tells me Arizona State was more indicative of what our roster was capable of this year than our 10...
