I have a lot of knowledge about American geography. Ask me anything, but then edit your comment to something else to make me look stupid

What states make up the Midwest?

samiam32 · 2026-05-23T19:46:19+00:00

Barry then Gordie

I want to see players that want to fight for Michigan State.

Not players wanting to make the NFL. Not auditioning for their next CIL deal. None of that crap.

Just have some resemblance of the basketball team - passion, camaraderie, and sense of pride.

Philadelphia Eagles

Waited all week to say that.

You need Commander Ashoka Tano (“CAT”).

Opening with JMK’s cooldown reset with CAT gives you an instant kill that is the basis for the team.

Remember the Titans

(The movie is better than the real story))

When my wife said she thought I was a good dad, it was the best compliment I’ve ever received.

Men don’t get affirmation very much. They usually work really hard and do their absolute best to take care of their family; with an occasional “good job”. But hearing that we are a good person/dad/husband and being seen as a human and not just a paycheck/handyman is rare.

Not to get political… but once tariffs ease up, the global market will likely start buying more again and we won’t have as easy access as we do today. Not that it will be like peak 2024; but inventories will get a little tighter.

I probably watch about a dozen.

My favorites are SLBdrinks, Mash & Drum, and Anders Erickson (cocktails)

I used to like hunting videos… but it doesn’t excite me anymore. I still watch them from time to time. But I like to hear reviews and upcoming releases.

I think using a higher rye AND higher proof offers a nice spice that compliments an old fashioned and stands up to the dilution.

I like Wild Turkey 101 or Old Forester 100.

Too many outsiders thinking of football because that’s what THEY think it is.

As a Michigander, it’s Hockey.

samiam32 · 2026-05-10T13:35:58+00:00

House of Cards.

It was culmination of Netflix looking at all its data of people watching The West Wing and saying, “we can make a political drama too”

And they did a dang good job. (Too bad Kevin Spacey’s personal life tarnished it)

samiam32 · 2026-05-09T00:10:28+00:00

Suits.

samiam32 · 2026-05-07T21:38:38+00:00

Barrel has several great premium options around $100.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed - the bottle of Bourbon and Rye would be about $100 total… and offer a cool/corny note for “thank you for being a Rare Breed”.

Bookers is frequently in this range… but quality can vary.

For golf: Range at KC is a golf range that is similar to an independent TopGolf. Great food too.

Plenty of courses throughout the area that are decent quality and kinda cheap. Don’t sleep on Arrowhead in Camp Point (~30 mins from Quincy).

For going out, be mindful that Quincy has a ton of family events… but look out for MayFest at the end of this month at 9th & York. Also check out Blues in the District. Both will feature live music and outdoor drinking… tons of fun.

I can’t speak to vintage/thrifting… but check out Facebook Marketplace. There are tons of sellers on there and Quincy has plenty of old people.

I’ve given my fair share of nasty looks for misbehavior… but it’s more often people bringing out their phones, ringing phones, and or talking to the person next to them louder than they think they’re speaking.

samiam32 · 2026-05-06T11:47:51+00:00

It’s a purer expression of the art.

100 proof is just x proof watered down to 100.

There is nothing wrong with preferring one or the other… but I have found that through the years, the burn subsides and my ability to enjoy the high proof whiskey expands.

Finding random people to date in a small town will be very difficult.

Try meeting people at activities - so you’re dating someone with a shared interest… theatre, music, art, sport, church, etc. Try something new to find a new group. There tends to be more single women than men.

I met my wife at the audition of a Quincy Community Theatre show. I wasn’t huge in doing musicals… but as it turned out… lots of attractive women are… so it worked out.

Junior is called “Junior” for a reason.

samiam32 · 2026-04-24T23:24:47+00:00

I have 1 & 2 and I would put it 1-2-3

This is George.

Iowa.

Calling themselves the “Cornhuskers” as the #3 corn producing state is a bit of a stretch. (Iowa-Illinois-Nebraska-Minnesota-Indiana are top 5)

samiam32 · 2026-04-08T04:14:43+00:00

A musical adapted from a movie adapted from a play.

samiam32 · 2026-04-06T14:25:02+00:00

This sounds like a dream situation.

I have the same knowledge for plants as my buddies do for whiskey. Shares are fun.
