My roundup of notable comments and quips from Cyclone Fanatic, May-August 2021. I got behind trying to do a month-by-month (Sorry).
Far from exhaustive, merely a sample of amusements I encountered. If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, feel free to add.
Due to high number of entries, I have to split the thread into May-June and July-August. Designation is for the month I saw the entry, not necessarily when thread was launched. If time permits, I'll add a realignment-related segment and a couple of bonus categories. No guarantees.
Some entries have been edited for clarity, brevity or spelling.
(Leftover from April 30)
From “Maple Syrup”
@cmjh10: When you use maple syrup, do you warm it up or just pull it out of the fridge/pantry and use it?
@FallOf81: Depends on what, or whom, you pour it on.
***
@ImJustKCClone: All of you weirdos like cold pancakes & waffles? It requires 15 seconds to nuke the syrup. Lazy bums!
From “And the 2021 Best Burger is …”
@Remo Gaggi: I tried a "veggie burger" once. It gave me gas, and wasn't really satisfying.
@kkise: The gas or the burger wasn’t satisfying?
From “Sweet Potatoes: Good or Bad?”
@Gonzo: Good. Cube a sweet potato, throw it in a saute pan with olive oil and diced onions, green and red peppers, minced garlic, diced bacon, a little ground pork sausage ... makes a fantastic hash.
@cytor: You had me at “hash.”
***
@KnappShack: The best sweet potato is a dead sweet potato.
From “Friday OT: Linger On, Your Pale Blue Eyes”
@Angie: What is your weakness in a potential mate?
@Cydar: My weakness is any woman willing to talk to me.
From “Kid Runs Over Another Kid in Football Drill”
@snowcraig2.0: If that was my kid who got set up like that, I'd beat the **** out of that coach.
@cyclonespiker33: By the time you remembered to pick the kid up, the coach would be long gone.
From “Sexy Cy”
@ImJustKCClone: Only on CF could an image of a deflated Cy lead to a post-mortem of an ill-fated, fictional love affair.
From “Friday OT: Makes Me Want to Sing With You”
@cyfanatic13: Who really DID let the dogs out?
@cyhiphopp: I did, so they wouldn't s*** in the house. The little one does anyway, half the time. Little s***, literally.
From “Sand Art, Including ISU!”
@coolerifyoudid: I'm 95% sure that if I ever took the time to learn how to do that, as soon I took my eye off it, my wife or daughter would pick it up and Etch-a-Sketch that s*** out of existence.
From “Excessive Drinking By County (Map)”
@Al_4_State: Oklahoma and West Virginia are lying through their teeth.
@heitclone: Don't you have to have teeth to lie through them?
***
@cycloner29: I feel like I single-handedly carried Story County last night.
From “More Opportunities For ISU Branding”
@Kagavi: I'm just a deranged person gibbering on the street corner in my bathrobe.
***
@ISUCyclones2015: @Kagavi is a special person. I met him 8 years ago at an @Cycsk tailgate. Him and his wife were incredible. I can't believe we lucked into someone like him for our community and agree with basically everything he's saying here.
@cyrocksmypants: Why don’t you two just make out already?
From “Friday OT: Go and Spoil It All By Saying Something Stupid”
@carvers4math: Pregnancy is not an excuse to grope a woman’s stomach.
@BCClone: I agree. I just check their milk-producers to see if the kid will get enough food or if he/she will need to be bottle-fed. My little way of assisting.
From “Friday OT: I’m Addicted to the Limelight”
@Angie: Who is the most famous person you ever met?
@farminclone: I met @ChrisMWilliams once. It was exhilarating.
From “Big 12 Record Predictions From Longhorn Wire”
@BCClone: We were so bad in the early ‘90s. You weren’t stopped carrying alcohol into JTS. In fact, it was encouraged.
@dualthreat: I got stopped for going in without alcohol.

From “Coach K Retiring”
@DSMCy: Your mind is going to be blown if you Google Brad Stevens right now.
@intrepid27: "Brad Stevens" = About 41.3M results (0.75 seconds)
@Dandy: My wife HATES it when I produce 41.3M results in 0.75 seconds.
From “Friday OT: My Only Friend, The End”
@Angie: Do you have anything where, try as you might or might want, you cannot make it happen, no matter what? Some skill for which you are entirely ill-suited?
@cyfanatic13: Talking to women.
From “When to Buy New Underwear” (thread-bump; OP in 2015)
@intrepid27: I'm not sure which is most disturbing: (1) The fact this thread was ever started; (2) The fact someone felt compelled to reopen it 3 years later; (3) The fact I opened it today.
