My mini-roundup of notable comments and quips from Cyclone Fanatic, September 2021.
Far from exhaustive, merely a sample. I was lax at logging this month (even more so than usual). If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, feel free to add to the thread.
Some entries are edited for clarity, brevity or spelling. ID’s of some OP’s are omitted, to put the focus on amusement factor of the responses.
(OP): I heard a rumor that Charlie is in a walking boot and won't play Saturday. Anyone know if this is correct?
@usedcarguy: The rumor that he's in a boot appears to be true … Apparently, he slipped and fell on some pasta he was eating with his bare hands.
From “Doppelgangers”
(OP): How many people have met their doppelganger?
@Gonzo: There's a movie called "Legends of the Fall,” with a long-haired guy riding a horse that I’ve been told looks exactly like me.
@BCClone: Don’t let them tell you that. You look nothing like a horse.
***
@demoncore1031: I met my doppelganger at an orgy. He was my doppelgangbanger.
From “Friday OT: No Ragrets (sic)”
@Angie: Thanks to @Bipolarcy … Name something you did when you were younger that you regret to this day …
@cycloneG: I wore cargo shorts once. Never again.
@Cyclonepride: More cargo shorts for me!
From “Matt Campbell quit on this team”
@cycloneML: Seems ball was late several times.
@madguy30: Late and short. Story of my life. It's OK for bad humor today, no?
From “Final Record Prediction”
@CyCrazy: The sky isn’t falling.
@Cyched: Link?
From “Turf or grass Saturday?” (nominated by @Gunnerclone)
@clonerules: Has anyone paid attention to what (surface) UNLV has been playing on? I know the Raiders use retractable natural grass; no clue for UNLV.
@NorthCyd: Join the premium board!
From “How far can Iowa go?”
@IlliniCy: How far can Iowa go? Straight to the deepest abyss of hell.
From “UNLV Game Thoughts”
@quasistellar: The O-line used to be Swiss cheese. Now it's more like havarti or gruyere.
From “Tackling Technique”
@CoachHines3: I was taught to put my head down and launch toward the opposing player’s head, with my arms at my side. Like a rocket taking off.
From “Williams: A Stat That Blew My Mind”
@jcyclonee: We really should add every win from 1892-1935. There may not have been an official poll, but they are ranked No. 1 in my heart.
@qwerty: I didn’t start following Iowa State until 1903, so those first 11 years are lost to me.
From “Friday OT: As Long as I Got My Suit and Tie”
@Angie: @CycloneRulzzz had to get dressed-up for a wedding he was attending. Outside of work, how often do you have to get dressed up? For what? Do you enjoy it?
@Cyclonepride: It basically depends on how often people I know die.
From “Purdy”
@mtowncyclone13: Tom Manning is like an art teacher telling Jackson Pollock to paint a realistic picture.
From “Monday Night With a Teacher”
@JM4CY: Girls are awful, awful a**holes. They are "dog eat dog" and DGAF. … I would almost tell my daughter to stay away from all of them and encourage her to be friends only with boys. But I was a boy once, and I definitely don't trust those little sh*theads either.
From Williams/Blum podcast
@ChrisMWilliams: If Iowa State loses to Kansas, I’m applying to Mechdyne.
From Cave (Thread titles and specific topical references omitted):
@3TrueFans: This poor lady thinks things still matter.
@Gunnerclone: Probably still thinks the Wing-T can win a CFB championship.

@isufbcurt: So, pretty much, if you don't drive a Prius or a minivan, you have toxic masculinity?
@KnappShack: I drive a minivan and I'm hella-toxic.

@cyrocksmypants: This never would have happened if my application for moderator had been considered by more than just Angie.
Angie: You needed a better slogan than, "You can put your hands down my Pants."
