    I would kill to find a clean Isuzu again. I had a 95 Rodeo that we took down on the trails by the river near Van Meter constantly. It spent about 8 hours one night stuck in the sand and enough people showed up to have their shot at pulling it out that it turned into a giant bonfire/party on the...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Elite 8 ***

    The only difficult one for me this round is TJs and Arbys. Went with the underdog.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Sweet 16 ***

    No money left. Bankrupted by one meal at Five Guys. Just kidding. Five guys FTW.

    Steak de Burgo - It's an Iowan Tradition.

    District 36 in Ankeny has both steak and chicken deburgo. I know I've had it at multiple spots around DSM but that's the most recent I can remember. I really enjoy a good chicken deburgo.

    Which theoretically gives them a big disadvantage but they're still standing. Goes to show how good they are.

    FOX to buy Roku for $22 Biliion

    We have 5 TVs and a projector and all but one run Roku. I absolutely can't stand having to use the FireTV on the garage TV. The rest of them have Roku built in as the OS. I will say they just launched some changes in the home screen and phone remote and it's going in the wrong direction. A...

    Sauna recommendations

    I don't know anything about saunas but IR heat is going to be drastically different than a traditional sauna. IR heats objects, not the air, so it will be heating your body directly instead of heating the air around you. That being said, traditional saunas are going to have moisture to deal with...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Sweet 16 ***

    We were big on A&W being a treat growing up. My parents actually just asked if I wanted the mugs we got back then because there is some nostalgia behind them. Doing the math it looks like these are from around 1994. Anyone else remember the lore of the 1/3 pounder? Also they’ve got the dumbass...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Sweet 16 ***

    Arbys is hella underrated. Sonic has the ice cream down but Arbys has the food by a mile.

    Yet they’re still jacking bad shots in crunch time. Meanwhile the Knicks are riding the hot hand.

    USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

    That was the first soccer game I’ve watched since sitting on the bench in high school over 20 years ago. I guess I picked a good one. All in on the World Cup now I guess.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    I was in MN and the wife was in Story City so I had no idea what I was coming home to the next day. I could see the water trail through the yard coming from our gutters straight into the neighbors basement windows. They ended up being super nice about everything and paying to hook our gutters...

    Red Bull and McLaren currently appealing to have the penalties reinstated. What a clusterfuck.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Round of 32 ***

    HyVee gas breakfast sandwiches are elite, specifically the ones from the grimes location. I haven’t eaten them from any other ones. Everything is made fresh off the shelves from the store. The real fried egg is tops compared to the reheated yellow fluff everywhere else.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    Ours is completely sealed with the radon system. I've never seen it or heard it run in the near decade we've lived in our house. Our basement was bone dry that night Ankeny got like 8-10 inches of rain a few years back so I assume whatever drainage system is keeping everything dry is actually...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Round of 32 ***

    A single, fries and pop is like 16 at Five Guys. A QPC meal at McDonalds is up to like 12. One uses fresh ingredients, the other uses whatever the opposite of fresh is. I'll take the Five Guys. That being said, I'm not going to either one if something like a Culvers or B-Bops is around.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Round of 32 ***

    I'm not gonna say it's the reason I'm about to start taking the GLP1 jab but I can't sit here and say it didn't contribute to it. I had a lot of boozy nights capped off with McDonalds over a long period of time.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Round of 32 ***

    Burgers were decent the few times I've tried it but for the money, I'm probably heading to a Mexican joint and getting real food. I agree on McDanalds though. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not pounding doubles and mcchickens at 2AM anymore.
