This year, I’ve redefined the monthly feature from “Posts of the Month” to “Notable Posts." It isn't possible to see all the best comments, and even a lot of good ones I don't get around to documenting.

As is customary, anything good I missed, add it to the thread.If you encounter an especially amusing comment, feel free to PM me.

Here we go. Some posts edited for brevity or clarity.


From “Instant Reaction Podcast” (regarding FAU game):
@jpete24: Not condoning the loss, but this, too, shall pass.
@woodm07: So did dinner.
jpete24: That was quick. What did you eat? Rattler?


From “ISU-KU game day thread”
@atlantacyclone: Just curious, have we ever been down 20 to KU at the half?
@demoncore1031: Yes. We are down 20 to KU at the half right now.


From “ISU vs. OU game day thread” (Jan. 11)
@Cyched: Most fun I’ve had at an ISU game this decade.


From “FOT: Losing My Religion”
@dosry5: (I lost) my dignity. I remember it well.
@derpyherky: That’s not how you spell “virginity.”
@dosry5: I didn’t know we’d be graded on spelling.


From “Closed Caption Dirty to Me”
Posted by @Fitzy: “P-rnhub sued by deaf man over adult video site’s lack of subtitles”
@Cyclones_R_GR8: How else are you supposed to pick up on all the subtle underlying subtext?
---
@Stewo: Pizza man shows up. Woman has zero dollars. Pizza man isn’t leaving until he gets compensated. What’s there to hear?
@JM4CY: Whether or not she swallowed the tip.
---
@Cyched: Ew, gross, they’re having sex on screen.


(Thread source undocumented)
@Mississippi Clone1: I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon.
@coolerifyoudid: I honestly love that you have 13 posts, and this is one of them.


From “Minutes of Your Life You’ll Want Back”
@cyrocksmypants: What is something you do daily or very regularly that you’re going to wish you had those minutes back at the end of your life? Other than posting on CF.
@dirtyninety: First, this board…
Pants: God Damn it Dirty, read the rules!

@Dingus: I spent 4 hours at a city council meeting the other day to have them... table the issue for another day. First guy to get up to comment was a disheveled bearded man with a T shirt with a message spelled out in electrical tape wearing a dress that appeared to be a curtain. And I thought “Yep, that pretty much nails it.”

@BCClone: Showering. A car freshener as a necklace saves time.


From "2020 football slogan
@JM4CY: I was hoping for “A QB Sneak is Brewing” but this will do.



A lot of good posts came from the mailbags this time. Here’s a sample

@Cy$ : Ask us questions. I'd be glad to talk about my ankle injury and my tetris championship preparations.
@Angie: Did you hurt your ankle playing Tetris?

****
@SCyclone: As Iowa State's athletic director, you have to hire a basketball coach. You have two choices - Steve Alford, or Fran McCaffery. Who do you hire?
@CoKane: I’d answer it with a bullet through my skull.

***
@ImJustKCClone (to @Cy$): Son, I worry about you sometimes...
@Cy$: I'll take "Things my mom says every day" for $100, Alex.

***
@CloniesForLife: When are you going to get Doc as a guest speaker? I enjoy his takes.
@Doc: Guest speaker?They doing podcasts now?

***
@Cyched : How much cheese is too much cheese?
@GTO: When you’re dry-freezing the cheese, grinding it into a powder, and then snorting it off the back of some five dollar prostitute. Probably time to stop and seek help.

***
(Week of 1-15)
@BCClone: If you were to become an animal, what would you choose?
@Angie: A gloster canary. They look magnificent. And everyone would take me seriously. Like a member of the early-era Beatles.

***
And my personal favorite:
From mailbag (week of 1-29)
@coolerifyoudid: Will @cyclones500 get his question in before the deadline?
@cyrocksmypants: God, I hope not.
 
Just in case people don't want to google image a gloster canary, I think more people need introduced to their wonder:

It is my hope they become the new "hip" animal, as I'm well over the sloth. Make it happen, CF.
 
For Christmas, the vixen bought me a couple hand-held nectar dispensers. They look like this:

My goal for the summer is to get a hummingbird to take the nectar out of my hand. :) I have also read that it is very easy to tame chickadees - they are my favorite bird.

WHAR DECEMBER NOTABLE POSTS THREAD?????

That's a good question. I swear I posted December nuggets in timely fashion, but a search reveals no such thing. I recall I was preoccupied around the holidays with this & that and it may have slipped thru cracks.

If anyone else can find the so-called thread, let me know, otherwise I could tack on a few from the file into this thread.
 
WHAR DECEMBER NOTABLE POSTS THREAD?????

Per curiosity of @ImJustKCClone ...
Since (apparently) I goofed and failed to publish December 2019 notable posts, here's a sample from the file. I don't want to start a separate thread at this stage.

From “Campbell Extended”
@Trice: I will never, as long as I live, understand people's affinity for the word "butthurt."

(**thread source undocumented**)
@Althetuna: We hosted Thanksgiving this year and immediately after, I had my gall bladder removed.
@JP4CY: You served your gall bladder to your family?

From GameDay thread vs. Kansas City
@helechopper: This team couldn’t shoot itself in the face if it tried.

From “2019 College Football”
@JP4CY: Why is tOSU not kneeling the ball down? … Edit: Brain fart, Wisconsin has the ball.

From "Iowa State strengths and weaknesses”
@KenND: What do Cyclones fans see as the strengths and weaknesses of your team?
@BillBrasky4Cy: Fair warning: Our punt return team is absolutely lethal.

From “Weekly mailbag questions”
@coolerifyoudid: Rank the finishers in the 40-yard dash: @GTO, @cyrocksmypants, Kelechi Osemele, Nate Stanley, the Athabasca Glacier

From “Christmas presents for ISU men’s basketball”
@I-stateTheTruth: My wish is (1) for ISU fans to learn to spell Jacobson before he finishes medical school; (2) shoot 35% from 3 in the Big 12; (3) Maybe for Conditt to start spelling his name “Georges.”

From “Merry Christmas, Guys”
@ChrisMWilliams: There isn't a day that goes by where I am not grateful for this amazing little online community we have. Other than about 7 or 8 of you, you’re like an extended family.
@cmjh10: Care to name the 7 or 8 posters you are talking about?
