Iowa Word Association with WoFo and DoKo

It is believed that we can reveal a part of the subconscious by playing a simple game of word association. We can peel back the layers of emotional onion that cover our psyche and reveal a great deal about ourselves. I sent a list of Iowan phrases (mostly people) to Dane and Winfield in order to find out what they really think about Iowa at a subconscious level. Here are the phrases, Winfield's answers in italics, and Dane's answers underlined:

1. Corn -- Field of Dreams -- Boring Drives
2. Robert Gallery -- Lots of hair -- P***y
3. Seneca Wallace -- Seahawks -- Indian
4. Drew Tate -- Who? -- Taint
5. Bob Stoops -- Oklahoma -- LOLklahoma
6. Hawkeye -- WTF? -- Avengers
7. Johnny Carson -- Tonight Show -- Karnak
8. John Wayne -- "Hello Pilgrim" -- Poop
9. Buffalo Bill Cody -- Funny mustache -- Child trader
10. Des Moines -- Boring -- Eddie Bauer
11. Elijah Wood -- Hobbit -- Midget
12. Shawn Johnson -- Jail bait -- CHAMPION
13. Herbert Hoover -- Great Depression -- Failure

I hope you all picked up a strong sports background for Winfield. He obviously grew up out there and has a little respect for the Midwest. Dane has a distaste for the Midwest only matched by his ability to devour ears of corn by the tonne. Give us your thoughts.

Seneca Wallace!

My HERO from freshman year of college. I was a huge Iowa STATE fan (not Iowa) and he took them up to no. 9 in the country, only to flame out the rest of the season…

My second reaction to the first question

was ‘grits’.

My God do I love grits.

And I did my best to give my honest initial reaction. My answers are valid – they could be analyzed by a psychologist; however, delving into my mind is like seeing Cthulhu. I don’t reccomend it – you are pretty much guaranteed to go insane

by EffinDane on Dec 8, 2009 3:09 PM EST reply actions  

They have Waffle Houses here in Louisville

but they can’t get the grits right. I had grits at a Waffle House in Richmond, Kentucky, and they were pretty good, but they served them in a BOWL.

Kentuckians may SOUND Southern, but they aren’t.

My years living in Illinois forced me to learn to cook grits and greens and cornbread without sugar and other common, every-day foods that these damned Midwesterns have no clue about. And you’d think, given that about 97% of Illinois and Iowa are covered with corn in the summer that they’d know how to prepare grits and corn bread. But no.

That's a damn shame

Grits belong slathered over toast and eggs with salt and butter. It’s God’s way of eating grits.

At least they didn't want to add milk and sugar to it,

as they suggested at a Quad Cities restaurant. I guess they think because grits look like cream of wheat they should taste like it.

It was the Machine Shed in Davenport, to be specific about which of the Quad Cities, just to keep our new Iowa friends involved.

Ugh

That is foul. It’s like Virginia claiming to be a southern state yet no where do they serve sweet iced tea. When you ask for it, they bring you this cranberry crap that is steaming, a cup of ice, and point you to the Sweet-N-Low. Drives me crazy.

Yeah, Seneca Wallace... ok

My favorite Georgia Tech players of all time are
1. Herschel Walker
2. Champ Bailey
3. Bo Jackson
4. Charlie Whitehurst
5. Tinky Winky the Teletubbie

And that bulldog you guys have on the sidelines is SOOO cool.

you just wish you had this highlight

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Nah, we normally didn't let highlights like that happen.

Not really.

There’s a joke around these parts that goes somewhat like this:

Q: How many Cyclone fans does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Five. One to spin the bulb and four to talk about how great Seneca Wallace was.

Since, you know, he’s the only ISU player ever to have a highlight.

And Athens is a very

cool campus.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't

I happen to know the school where most of the Exorcist was filmed. And it wasn’t in Georgia.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

by HoyaGoon on Dec 8, 2009 8:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Sure it was!

The famous M Street steps, right there in Marietta!

by Bucketochicken on Dec 8, 2009 9:06 PM EST up reply actions  

Silly Bucket,

You’re thinking of M Street for Mercer University in Macon. Don’t worry, happens all the time.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

by HoyaGoon on Dec 8, 2009 9:18 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't know...

There is an apartment complex near Tech called M Street and it is much scarier than the exorcist.

by JBar on Dec 8, 2009 9:37 PM EST up reply actions  

Athens is a very cool campus

in extremely small doses, when you are 18 and armed with a fake ID. Its not as much fun to go downtown when you are 22 years old and realize that you are hitting on women who were born in the 90’s. It’s just strange.

by EffinDane on Dec 8, 2009 8:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Ain't nuthin wrong with that

Granted, you gotta make sure she was born in the VERY early 90s.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

by HoyaGoon on Dec 8, 2009 8:55 PM EST up reply actions  

There isn't.

BUT when you are in a bar, you should never have to wonder, “Man, is this chick actually 18?” It’s a very dangerous yes or no variable that should not have to be considered after drinking.

Remember that if a woman tells you she’s 20 and looks 16 – she’s 12.

by EffinDane on Dec 8, 2009 9:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Also, since it is appropriate

“Cornbread – ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!”

Thank you, Chris Rock.

I don't either

i am amused

The college football season is so fragile. It's like a glass ball being pushed around from stadium to stadium by a rhinoceros.

“Alvin” Junior Samples, born in Cummings, Georgia, country singer, Hee Haw.
