    Who is the most famous person you have ever seen in person?

    Haha. Yep. Start to finish. Amazing how much hard work goes into making a mediocre movie. Lots of fun though.

    Who is the most famous person you have ever seen in person?

    This is a good way to kill the last 10 minutes of work today... Sports: Johnny Orr - Golfed with him and ran into him many times over the years Fred Hoiberg - Met him the summer before he started at ISU. Keith Sims and Gene Williams - semi-regulars at the bar I worked at Pete Taylor - many...

    Meb Keflezighi... Never been so ****** an Ken Miller!

    You should really try to pace yourself. There's too much to hate about our local radio hacks to waste it all on this little non-issue.

    CF Story: Hoiberg Inks 6'8 SIU Transfer

    Someone who listens would have to verify, but a coworker of mine said that the radio idiot's only real comment about Booker was: "Is 6'8" big enough to play the 4?" I know the guy isn't very bright, but did he actually ask that question??

    2 Year old smokes 40 cigs a day

    Preschoolers on DM's east side still call him an amateur.

    Teacher Beats Student

    Her battle stance cracked me up. She looked like she was in a knife fight in a movie from the 50s.

    Well, he really, really hates the hire

    Nobody will pay to read Keeler. Fading subscriptions are killing the newspaper industry anyway, so web content with ads is one of their few remaining revenue streams. There are about 5 ads on that article and plenty of links to other Register content (with more ads). It's easy to track web...

    "The Blind Side"

    Nice try. People who don't gush over the crap you like MUST have something wrong with them. I don't "hate" Blind Side. I just think it was laughable as part of any "best ever" or Academy Award conversation. I've worked on worse movies, and also worked on better movies than Blind Side. Michael...

    Well, he really, really hates the hire

    I think keeler and the Rag are getting exactly what they want from this, and then some. He writes a lame little article about ISU, then one of our members with poor reading comprehension skills can't wait to run back here, fabricate a reactionary thread title and link the story. A few hours...

    "The Blind Side"

    The nicest thing I can say about The Blind Side is that Lou Holtz and Nick Saban's acting was almost as good as Bob Knight and George Raveling in Blue Chips. The football scenes fell somewhere on the quality scale between the TV shows 'Against The Grain' and 'Friday Night Lights'. If they...

    Matt Perrault

    I haven't listened to our ****** local sports talk radio shows for years, and have been happier as a result. Small-time nobodies who think the measure of good radio is the number of calls generated. But I listened to the recording of this exchange and came away with a newfound hatred for KXNO...

    An Honest Look at Miller and Deace's (show)

    Sorry, but being the "best show locally" in Des Moines is like being the toughest guy at a Lilith Fair concert. I can't pile on, because I've only heard bits and pieces of their shows over the years, and saw about 5 minutes of that horrendous tv show they had on public access. From what I HAVE...

    Best X-Mas present you got as a kid?

    My top 3: My dad ripped it open and removed the speaker on my new electronic football game before we got to New Years Eve. This thing lasted for years. Long after Evel's hands fell off to expose the wire skeleton under the rubber. Portable 8 track so that I could listen to the Doors while...

    Megan Taylor Where is she now? And...

    BTN probably said that. Wouldn't be the first time they've been wrong. But I promise he is a local... One of his cousins is married to Shaggy Culbertson.

    Megan Taylor Where is she now? And...

    The last time I heard, Megan Taylor was in Minneapolis working. But that was a couple of years ago, so that may have changed. Aus's boyfriend is a local kid (Ballard-Huxley) from a family full of Cyclones. He left a couple of weeks ago for 9 month internship in Australia.

    The League

    I was in a league for several years that was split 50/50 between fairly hardcore fans and guys who were just in the league for fun. One year, a member of the "just for fun" group pulled the 3rd pick in the draft, and could hardly contain himself for the first 2 picks, worried that his dream pick...

    The League

    I really like the show and it's near the top of my priority list on the DVR. People nitpicking it and dismissing it due to what they feel are inaccuracies about fantasy football deserve to miss a half hour of laughs every week. They can go watch Two and a Half Men or According to Jim so that...

    Thanksgiving Food Ideas

    ^This is the correct answer^ I look forward to this for every holiday. Sadly, as the older generations in my family die off, I'm the only one left who eats it. Maybe the lutefisk is what's killing us off... Nah, cod soaked in lye can't be bad for you.
