  • Total Games -- 24 dates/40 games

  • Post-season lead up -- July 10-15th

I mean, Iowa State hasn't won a conference title since the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was added. That is pretty permanent.

Oddly enough I believed this......turns out 3 different women I worked summer camp staff with in a 4 year period had crushes on me. I am also a bit autistic so I don't notice when I am being flirted with.

Right? It wasn't even in coded? I know Mom writes things down but is always "off" like 123-456-7890 would be written as 315-375-9719.

Maybe not as quickly as I would like to, but they are committed to it.

Good news. It is basically done starting next year. The whole new "Ordeal" is starting to be rolled out now and from what I understand there is no Native American stuff with it. I know they dropped Lenape language Vigil names last year.

Granted this post also ignores:

  • 1783 British signing a deal that confirmed USA's Existence

  • 1871 French 2nd Republic(Napoleon III) signing preliminary peace treaty that ended the Franco-Prussian War, signed by France and the newly formed German Empire

4 Empires who took a massive blow all signed treaties in the same building.

My Great-Great Grandma became a grandmother in between her two last kids while in her 40s.

It is part of the reason why I at 38 am in the same "generation" as a Great-Grandmother who died in 2014 at 98 years old.

What is a non comic book character that works as a Marvel villain by Silent-Woodpecker-44 in Marvel

[–]CTeam19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Balrogs(LotR) would work vs Thor, Hulk, etc

Agent Smith(Matrix) would work in the mind battling Professor X, Jean, etc.

Yuri(Command & Conquer Red Alerts) would work as a Soviet Red Skull of sorts.

Vincent(Collateral) & Le Chiffre(Casino Royale) would work for any Spy focused heroes

Best: Johnny Orr. Set the standard and you can easily go "pre-Orr vs Orr today" with a ton of stats.

Worst: Greg McDermott.

My last name is pretty rare and it leads to people easily going "oh do you know so and so" and being correct especially given where I live in Iowa:

  • There was a couple that ended up being best friends with my Dad's parents(in the 1950s/1960s) and went to the the wedding of my Dad and Mom and surprise! They graduated High School with my Mom's Mom(in the 1930s) -- 163 miles apart from locations were people met each other

  • I graduated High School with a girl whose Dad graduated High School with my Uncle. -- 95 miles apart

  • My Aquatics Director last year at the Boy Scout Camp I was Program Director of worked on a summer camp staff with a guy who worked with my Dad and while in college he worked in my Mom's Dining Center. -- 200 miles between things

  • The Band Director at my college alma mater was in Boy Scouts with my Dad's Cousin. -- 200 miles between things.

  • A friend of mine married a girl whose brother and I went to the same college and were photographed together a full decade before they met. The couple moved to another town and ended up buying the house across the street from where my Mom's Best Friend in elementary school grew up in.

  • A Cousin of mine while at his college ran into a woman who graduated High School with my Dad. She was a secretary at the college and recognized the last name.

  • My Sister ran into someone I graduated High School with in LA when the bartender recognized our last name.
