Topic: The State of NEBRASKA (all NE discussion goes here!)

[decoyman]

My, I've been slacking on the Nebraska updates, and neglecting a soon-to-be-visiting guest of the state!

Alright, here's some new info. Cupcakes are gone, sorry. Lasagne is as well (yes, it counts as "pie" - hey, you didn't say the cakes or pies had to be sweet or savory!). A pile of chocolate chip "cakes" (of the flat/miniature variety) and a batch of ice cream (ok, it's neither cake nor pie, but it's goo-ood) have both been made and promptly consumed.

So... basically I've got Lil Debbie stuff I'll pick up on the way to the border. Take it or leave it.

Fun Nebraska fact-of-the-day: What do Arbor Day, Kool-Aid and the Reuben sandwich all have in common? They all found their starts in Nebraska! Hooray!

Unfortunate Nebraska fact-of-the-day: It's like 97 degrees here today, and I biked to work. I grew weak in California. Weak to heat!

I'm about 100 miles away from the border, just now coming into Iowa.  I'll be coming in on I-80 West. It's been a long drive, so they better be tasty Little Debbies (soundslike something Bill would say)...

[decoyman]

... are you posting from your car?

[Uncle Bob]

I was... You may notice that I'm using my mobile Bob account... I'm stuck mobile browsing for now (could browse on my DS, but they want $5/day for that).

Scary thing is that I posted that *while* driving.

Anywhoo, so far, Nebraska ain't all some people would have you believe.  No one met me at the border with Little Debbies (snack cakes or hot young girls). In fact, the only thing that met me at the border was rain and thunder.

Saw a game store I hope to get to check out tommrow though...

Unfortunately, in a frenzy to prove the stereotype that Nebraskans (and midwesterners in general) are hard workers, I was still at work while you were probably passing over the border.

Also, I ate your Lil' Debbies snacks.

Finally, I would apologize for the thunderstorm's unfriendly welcome, but these forces of nature recognize no state law or allegiance – they are rebels and unaffiliated with the state of Nebraska. You can take this issue up w/ Mother Nature™ if you'd like, but I can't seem to locate her web address...

You Nebraskanites are terrible people.  I'm never going anywhere near your state now.

I have started to warm up to Nebraska. There's a store called "Gamers" here... I like it.  They had boxed Intellivision games for 94 cents.

Apparently, there are 3 here in Omaha... I need to find the other two...

I wouldn't say that makes us bad people, PartyBear... I prefer to think of it as evidence of opportunism. You know, when things don't go to plan, you make the best of it.

It's a positive thing, see?
