    Soft-serve ice cream maker?

    Anybody know where I can rent a soft-serve ice cream maker? My daughter graduates from high school on Memorial Day Weekend, and wants to have a sundae bar at her open house. She wants soft-serve so we don't have to deal with scooping ice cream and all that mess. (She's so thoughtful). The...

    ***Official Friday Confessions Thread***

    Almost 8:30 and no thread yet? I don't have high hopes. Here's mine: I have a HUGE crush on Natalie Morales from the Today Show. In fact, I'm considering telling my wife that she's now become my Free Pass. This is significant, because right now Sophia Vergara is my Free Pass, and the Mrs...

    ***Official Friday Confession Thread***

    Good morning, all. My first attempt at an ***Official*** thread. How'm I doing so far? So here's mine: I was born in the late '60s. For the first several years of my life, every picture of me was black and white. (Color film was available, but still pretty expensive). Of course, every...

    2012 Cardinals

    Cards in sole possession of first. Feels good. 161 left, but it felt like we stole one last night. Lohse looked good, and we took one from JJ in their season/stadium opener. Freese is still on fire. I love this time of year. Final Four, Masters, and MLB!

    Bikinis and Olympic Beach Volleyball

    Evidently the bikinis are not preference, they are mandatory. Not so in London. However, USA stays strong and will keep the bikinis. U-S-A! U-S-A! Olympics beach volleyball players can drop their bikinis - msnNOW

    Pep band love

    Not sure how many NPR listeners frequent CF, but this article gives some props to the ISU pep band, and some quotes from Mr. Royce White himself. Heckling A Tradition At NCAA Tournament : NPR

    AHS in the Dance

    Not sure what the enrollment is for Ames High, but am guessing there aren't too many high schools of its size that can claim to have 4 alumni still participating in the Big Dance.

    Luckiest man going?

    Watching the Survivor season premier last night got me thinking about how good life must be for Jeff Probst. He makes good money, owns a piece of the action, pretty wife, and his job takes him to exotic locales which force him to work, what? 3-4 hours a day? (Just a guess, but it's not coal...

    Hansen's column

    Serious question: In today's Register, Hansen take U of I to task for firing Dr. Tom. My question is, Why is he writing about this now? It just struck me as a very odd time to write about this particular topic. Is he out of ideas already?

    Oddfellows - Ames

    Went out to eat last night at Oddfellows in the Northern Lights shopping center in North Ames. They open officially on Monday but are having practice runs to work out the bugs. (Free food. Woot!) If you're in Ames, I strongly recommend it. There were 4 of us, each with a different entree...

    Most painful loss dealt by ISU

    I'm bummed after reading the thread about ISU's most painful loss, and someone asked if we were Okie Lite's worst. So I thought I'd turn it. Which school and sport would list ISU as one of its worse losses? Football: OSU 2011 Iowa 2002 WBB UConn 1999 MBB UCLA? Okie Lite '92 What else?

    KGGO shakeup

    Just heard that KGGO and 98.3 are swapping Lou and Heather for Bob and Tom. 95 KGGO Thoughts? I can't think this is good for old Lou. I couldn't stand him for short bursts followed by music. Can he sustain an interesting conversation for 3 hours? IMO, they fired the wrong guy. Round...

    Chizik entry music

    This came up in the Sweet Caroline thread. Figured I'd see where it takes us. If Chizik had his own entry music (separate from the team, I mean), what should it be? Forever Man (irony factor) Gimme 3 Steps Take the Money and Run (too cliche) Before He Cheats Add your own, please

    Deadliest Catch - After the Catch

    Anyone watch this last night? Full disclosure: I've totally been drawn into DC for years. I know, same stuff,season after season, but I have to watch. Anyway, a couple things about AtC: Anyone notice the 1 (then 2) bartenders in the background? Wasn't sure it was a live person for a while...

    Cy's House of Trivia

    Any CF'ers doing Cy's House of Trivia Saturday night? I'm playing for the 2nd time, and cannot wait. Had a ball doing it last year. We had great ISU personalities at our table last year. Bono had a little friend at my buddy's expense after I "accidentally" mentioned that my friend is a U of...
