Darwin at work…

Age isn't a number. It is God hopefully giving you a touch of common sense.

Male anti-mastaurbation apparatus, 1880's I am afraid this thing would not stop most teenage boys.

Feelings are overrated. A good Norwegian can get by throughout life with not having them. They should be stuffed down until they come out in the form of a heart attack or stroke.

Donald Trump’s new campaign slogan is out.

I love The Wretch and The Coffin. I like little known characters. (As they become conversation pieces.) If I get another Phil Hester at Des Moines Con, what character should I get? What character does Phillip Hester enjoy doing?

It will be someone who is so bland he doesn’t take the spotlight off the Donald. Best way to be banished into the political wilderness is to have charisma.

According to the National Archives, 99 percent of the government documents regarding the Kennedy assassination have been declassified. (Which is amazing given classified sources.) It is easy to pull things out your backside when you don’t bother to study the facts.

I tweeted last year when she was still in high school that Audi Crooks was going to be an Iowa State fan favorite. I just never expected it to happen so quickly.

Michigan, Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Washington... Iowa State's T. J. Otzelberger is rumored to be coaching at more programs next year than Matt Campbell. Be careful of traffic jams with all those invisible Brinks trucks heading to his house.

Wisconsin, no Otzelberger for you. Michigan, no Otzelberger for you. Louisville, no Otzelberger for you. Kentucky, no Otzelberger for you. Washington, no Otzelberger for you.

Believe in yourself

In the transfer portal era of college sports, fans learn to cheer laundry, not players.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford True Grit There Will Be Blood (Hell or High Water and No Country For Old Men are modern movies that happen in the west but not traditional westerns. So I have not counted them.)

You don’t have to be an Iowa State fan to root for Demarion Watson. In the era of NIL & the open transfer portal he could have gone somewhere else for more minutes. Instead he has studied & improved his game. Here is hoping he becomes a major contributor next year.

When I was in high school there was this course everyone had to take called Iowa Survival that even included the now worthless skill of writing checks. We also had the option of taking Algebra 2. This just another example of liars & trolls presenting people with false choices.
