My quarterly mini-roundup of notable comments and quips from Cyclone Fanatic, July-September 2022. Merely a sample of amusements I encountered and documented. If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, add to thread.
Some entries have been edited for clarity, brevity, spelling or distracting grammar.
KEY: Bold is thread title (or summary of it) ... "***" indicates a break in narrative flow.
(I'll need to post in 2 segments, due to character length, according to Character-Length Mandate.)
Big 10 Rumors Today
@dafarmer: ISU has a medical school. Trouble is, animals don’t vote or watch sports.
@BeTheCyclone: Yet.
A Request For All Realignment Threads
@HoopsTournament: I want a podcast about pods. It would be a pod podcast.
USC-UCLA to Big Ten in ’24
@CloneGuy8: We just learned in the premium forum you can say butt*****r.
***
@bgprest: I say we mock the Big 10 by naming our conference “The BIGGER.”
***
@Cloneon: Securing an underlying contract affiliated with Notre Dame will provide leverage here. Dominoes.
@cylclSoneU: I prefer Papa John’s, but celebrate however you wish.
***
@Malty Flannel: WTF is “panache”?
@chiroclone88: I think it’s fancy pancakes.
***
@Acylum: I can never decide whether to read the 8 most recent pages of this thread or shove a red hot poker up my a**.
@Mr.G.Spot: Don't do either of these alternatives.
***
@werdnamanhill: This thread is slowly killing me.
@FriendlySpartan: Could be worse. It could be quickly killing you.
Songs People Think Are Great That You Don’t
@KnappShack: I'll stick with sh*tting on RHCP.
@CYCLNST8: Did Anthony Kiedis bang your mom or something?
@jereseib: I'm sure he's banged plenty of moms.
***
@awd4cy: I love ‘70s and ‘80s rock. Queen sucks, though.
@Cyismymonkey: Queen does suck.
@CYCLNST8: I'm gonna burn this place down.
***
@Peter: I used to ******* hate Eagles. Then I turned 40 and got a boat.
National French Fries Day
@dafarmer: National french fry day. Free fries at Micky Ds, Bk, and others with the app.
@BCClone: I'm waiting for national french kiss day. That one is better.
What Do You Miss/Appreciate About Iowa?
@1100011CS: I’ve read the word “verdant” more in this thread than I have in my whole life.
Top Lyricists
@Gunnerclone: 80% of the music I listen to is instrumental. Words ruin everything in music, just like in life.
4-Star Milan Momcilovic … (specific thread title varied)
@ISUCubswin: Anyone know the Momcilovic ethnicity of origin?
@amishclone: Sounds Irish.
***
@t-noah: If we get Omaha (Biliew), we gonna be very tuff-o-vitch.
***

Mega Millions - $800+ Million
OP (@ISUCyclones2015): 1 in 302.5 million chance to hit it big! Will be $1B+ if it doesn't hit tonight. You buy tickets? What would you do with the money?
@besserheimerphat: Pay JP to just tear down the press box. No new one, just tear down the current one. No press box at all.
Friday OT: Dumpster Diving
@ketchupnmustard: A few days ago I was driving north on NE 14th on my way to Ankeny. Saw a guy getting into the Dumpster at The Outer Limits. I wonder what kind of magic treasures he found in there?
@cyclonespiker33: You were just driving by. Riiiiight.
***
@carvers4math: I have a problem with glasses at restaurants. And bars. You get strange looks when you drink wine from a stir straw.
Iowa State Fair: Yea or Nay?
@BuschLight: I go every 3 or 4 years. It's nothing special, but fun to see the butter cow or a fat-a** pig every once in a while.
Hunter Dekkers concerns
(OP): I'll catch flack for this, but want to ask anyway. I'm nonplussed by CMC et al. comments on Dekkers. Anyone infer concern about Dekkers putting it all together?
@madguy30: Definitely concerned. Skip football and get right into throwing a fit over the basketball team playing hard.
Need two tickets for ISU-Iowa game on 9/10
@cycloner29: Looking for a couple of tickets for the game. Let me know what you may have. Thanks!
@cytor: You can have my tickets from last year's game. No charge!
Bridge Lights
@CycloneNorth: I think we should have two threads for the pedestrian bridge. One for daily picture updates and one for commenting on the appropriate number of bridge-related threads.
Any Chance South Dakota State Upsets Iowa?
@JM4CY: I bet half of Hawks fans couldn’t find South Dakota on a map.
@KidSilverhair: Geez, it’s right there by South Carolina, duh.

Full thread here
Friday OT: Subtle un-arousals
@CRcyclone6: Cameron Diaz.
@CYCLNST8: You can't be serious. Go watch "The Mask" again, you weirdo.
CRyclone6: You leave my un-arosuals alone!
***
@SCNCY: Machine Gun Kelly. I'm into girls, but I have no idea what girls see in him that is "hot."
@Gonzo: Same with Pete Davidson. Guy lands Kate Beckinsale, and both my daughters think he's hot ... I just do not understand.
@ISUCyclones2015: Funny guys get chicks.
@Gonzo: Maybe, but my bet is he has a 10-inch wiener.
@BillBrasky4Cy: I don't know what it is, but nothing hits ol’ Brasky's 11-year-old funny bone quite like the word “wiener.”
***
@somecyguy: Katy Perry. She is an awful singer and wears like 4 pounds of make-up. Yeah, she has boobs. Is that really all it takes for some people?
@BCClone: Is this a serious question?
***
@raftercy: Katee Sackhoff.
@jcyclonee: I had to make sure this wasn't an urban dictionary term.
Kenyon Sadiq Commitment Watch
@CoachHines3: it looks like every time Iowa State misses on a recruit, we’re going to turn into the fanbase that blames NIL.
@davegilbertson: How much were you paid to say that?
CoachHines3: Enough to afford my premium membership.
Week 0 College Football Nebraska vs. Northwestern
@JP4CY: “What did Ireland ever do to us to get these two teams to play there?" — My wife
Stories from that dump of a stadium (Kinnick)
@trevn: A fan threw a beer at X after his touchdown and almost hit Riley Moss instead.
@dosry5: Maybe it was Petras throwing that beer?
Jaylin Noel’s Status
@Aduhbolu15: Is everyone rewatching the game sober and seeing things they didn’t on Saturday?
@BillBrasky4Cy: I'm still drunk.
@NetflixAndClone: I made the mistake watching the game sober. Aged me 15 years.
Queen Elizabeth dead after 70-year reign
@isufbcurt: They need to skip Charles and let Prince William and Prince Harry joust for the throne.
@matclone: Surely, you jest.
@cybychoice: No, he said “joust.”
Barrels & James (sic)
@KnappShack: The sweet smell of wine coolers and Aqua Net. Makes my Italian blood boil.
Hy-Vee’s Weirdest Business Decision
@Jeremy: So what the heck is up with a name like "King Soopers"? Is it a cultural thing, or am I just dumb?
@nfrine: Yes.
Brown on Welch? (Poll)
@CloneGuy8: Have you ever pooped at a bar on Welch Ave?
@2020cy: Not on purpose.
