Welp, I'm in Minny and already got a few beers in with my brothers before calling it a night.

I saw the most Iowa thing ever on the way up here. Driving north of Ames on I35 I glance ahead at an upcoming overpass. There was a John Deere tractor parked on it. In front of the tractor was a woman holding a little boy wearing ISU gear, and they were waving at the cars as they drove by.

Yes, I waved.

cripes, school up here (chaser, you were at this school earlier this year!) had a threat and apparently some ******* kids actually made a pipe bomb. And tried to make a makeshift shotgun. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Saw that, the last I knew was it was just a weapons threat, nothing specific. My sister actually has to go back up there in a month for tryouts

Strunk, did you watch that Carrie Underwood video that you posted in the FB thread? Kind of depressing for 1st game of season. Good video though, had never seen it before.

My randomness for the RT:

Hubby has been wanting to stain our pergola all summer, but need a dry stretch before and after staining. Took a day off yesterday to start. One board in and a swarm of wasps decide the pergola is the best place to gather all day. Got about half done, may be half done for awhile.

Didn't go to our HS football game, but from posts and tweets last night it was still in regulation at 10:50pm due to penalties. Aldo looked like most of the PATS were missed.

Had to bake yesterday for a friend/kids' birthday. 2.5 batches of cake batter, 2 big batches of buttercream (which are each 3 stick of butter and a whole bag of powdered sugar), and a batch of peanut butter frosting. A bit of sugar overload.

First softball weekend of the fall season. Hubby will be home in time to go to the game tonight if he wants. I told him he should go, the next game he can go to is Oct 17th and by then the excitement may be gone. Hoping to use my dad's end zone tickets at some point, they were all spoken for this game.

Sorry you were banned, Pants. Got a good chuckle reading that last night.

Different times. All we did was make a tennis ball cannon out of tennis ball cans and use lighter fluid as the propellant and shot tennis balls down the Dana House hallway at Barton Hall.

:GEEK:

Potato guns ftw! ;)

Actually, what CG posted is pretty dang scary. I'm glad they were caught.

Went to get the mail this am, noticed the guy down the street who's been arrested for peeping and sexual assault is proudly wearing his hawkeye shirt.

I can't decide if I should go to the DFW Cyclones Gamewatch, buy Cyclones.tv for the month, or go to an Arizona State gamewatch with a friend from work and she brought some uh "nice" friends for the long weekend.

Ideally, I'd say B&C....get cyclones.tv sub and listen to the audio while picking up the wimmen. But considering your track record, maybe A.

Drunk me was looking at the title, but you're right it's depressing for a game day thread, ooops. If we win I will post a Carrie Underwood video for every game thread until we lose though.

I wish I could get the BWW here to get cyclones.tv, but then I'd also get no work done. "oh, you want a refill? **** you, go cyclones!"

I'm listening to the wooster radio broadcast and watching the video stream for their game and I'm pretty sure the announcer doesn't know how to use "ironic"
