That's good eatin'.
yaah said:Interestingly, though, ask the residents when you go (unless you already did) about cost of living in Iowa City. Some of them will probably complain about how expensive it is (they did to me). I think it's because relative to the rest of Iowa, Iowa City is more expensive. Still a relative bargain though. ALmost every place I went, residents told me it was expensive, then when I told them about housing around Boston, they tempered their complaining somewhat.
Oh yeah I totally see why you want to go to Iowajeff2005 said:I love corn on the cob! I can eat 4 at a time, even uncooked if it's right out of the field. Mmmm ... sweet corn on the cob!
Yes - they owned houses!jeff2005 said:Yeah some residents c/o the cost of living in Iowa City. They where the ones from elsewhere in Iowa or North Dakota. It's all relative.

"Awesome" and "L.A." have never been combined in a sentence I have spoken or written!AndyMilonakis said:I'm thinking along those lines too. LA is awesome!

Inspiring! If I end up Iowa I will pronounce you both honorary Iowans.luckystar said:Corn Nuts?

AndyMilonakis said:Well San Diego is awesome too! How about that?
yaah said:I disagree. I spent a month there one week. The highlight of my trip was seeing Star Trek IV on spectravision on the hotel entertainment system (it was quite a few years ago). I did sort of like the zoo though.
Thanks for the offer, although I believe I may already qualify for honorary Iowan status seeing as I'm in my second year at Des Moines. So I guess I'm a statistic, because I moved out of California too.deschutes said:

derailed another thread
luckystar said:I guess I am your partner in crime in thread derailment this time. But who can resist talking about one of the greatest soundtracks in movie history?
I adore the piano. I suspect it will go down as one of the greatest love songs of all timeluckystar said:One of my favorite song lines from that movie is: I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting class...blah blah blah, and Pearl Harbor sucked.
Did you hear what the original scene entailed? There was much, much more than what was allowed for the release, and I've read somewhere that Parker and Stone included some stuff intentionally just to see the reactions of the reviewers. It might be on the DVD....AndyMilonakis said:Team America boasts one of the greatest love scenes in movie history.
Lisa: "If you promise me you'll live, I'll make love to you right now."
Gary: "I promise."
Cut scene to bedroom.

AndyMilonakis said:I'm looking forward to the unrated, un-cut version of the DVD.
luckystar said:You and I both!
The puking scene made me laugh the hardest though. For whatever reason.
Yeah I don't think I have ever laughed so hard watching a movie. Definitely an eye-opening experience!AndyMilonakis said:The puddle of barf was bigger than Gary's body itself!
Another example of how Parker/Stone takes things way too far
seriously, i was laughing my ass during most of the movie, i felt like i left the theater with a hernia.
Addendum: The best was the tirade about the three kinds of people: d1cks, pu$$ies, and a$$holes.
